Trying after a miscarriage

[allthingspinkx]

Hi all,

How long did everyone wait until trying again after a miscarriage? This will be my first baby, I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks and am 2 weeks post miscarriage 🤍

So sorry for your loss x

After my first one I waited almost two months, not out of choice but because of surgery and being referred for a potential molar pregnancy. After the all clear it took 5 months to fall pregnant again, which sadly ended in another loss. Started trying two weeks after and now two months on and I’m pregnant again.

I think it’s very personal preference, but if you feel ready there’s no medical reason to wait unless you’ve been told to by a doctor.

I'm so sorry for your loss 😔

I was told to definitely wait until the bleeding had stopped and I'd had a negative pregnancy test, but ideally to allow a period first. I think this is so your body can clear any left over tissue and also helps them date and know it's a new pregnancy but I think technically you don't have to.

So sorry for your loss, it's very tough ❤️ just after my 4th one! No reason to wait, some women wait until after their first period, makes it easier for dating a new pregnancy. After my first I got pregnant the next cycle. After the second I left it 3 months for body to recover and apart from one chemical miscarriage I couldn't get pregnant again for 2 years 🙈
Statiscally you will go on to have a healthy pregnancy 🤰

Hey
I'm currently thinking this but mine is so confusing
I potentially miscarried at 5 weeks which was nearly 3 weeks ago on Monday. I took a pregnancy test on Monday which would have been 2 weeks since the bled started and came back a dark positive so rang epu and they assured me I'm still pregnant because the bleed wasn't a heavy and no bleed since but that night I started spotting brown then pink blood up until yesterday no pads needed but i rang epu Tuesday explained and she got me in for an internal scan Wednesday. The scan came back inconclusive because she could see something but wasn't sure if it's the miscarriage just taking awhile to leave my body or I'm just earlier than i thought and not 7 weeks so I had my bloods done that evening and got a call yesterday and they are 269 which is low so I've definitely miscarriaged or I'm just alittle earlier that i thought but I'm not hopeful. Got to have more bloods this evening so il definitely no by tomorrow

Hey @allthingspinkx I miscarried at 6 weeks (had carried till 10 though) 2.5 weeks ago. Just starting to test negative, or very faint positive since yesterday (Sunday). I know my miscarriage was complete, and we started trying again blindly about a week ago. (I say blindly because I have no idea if ovulation has occurred or is yet to occur, the tests are all extremely positive because it gets Hcg mixed up with FSH). We are keen to try because it took three years to even get pregnant and now I'm 38 with low ovarian reserve for my age. The massive clock is ticking for me..! If I didn't have that hanging over my head I'd have maybe let my body adjust. But I just loved those 6 weeks of pregnancy and would love to be close to being a mother again.

I had my first loss in the March at 24 weeks, was pregnant again by July, miscarried at 8 weeks, was pregnant again by October, miscarried at 6 weeks.

Fell pregnant again 6 months later in the April and had a successful pregnancy

I've just experienced a loss too. Unfortunately I need to have medical management to ensure everything has gone, which after the news is yet another thing that's going to be horrible to deal with.

My other half is being rather pragmatic and suggesting we try again ASAP but I'm not sure I've got it in me yet. Time's not on my side but the thought of it fills me with dread. Anyone else felt the same?

Sorry you’re going through a loss.

I lost twins in first trimester a few years ago and had medical management. Your partners feelings are valid but you both need to be on the same page. Please allow yourself a couple of months to grieve and process, let your body process what has happened. I was desperate to be a mum and started ttc 3 months after miscarriage x

I had a chemical/miscarriage at 5 weeks and started trying again immediately - my ovulation came on time
