okay, so here i am, after my missed m/c and ERPC. this was my second missed m/c but we had a gorgeous dd in between.
so theres much conflicting advice about how long/soon is okay to ttc again, personally i feel after many many conversations with Dr/midwife, that one cycle later is good, just for dating purposes. i do feel ready emotionally, not so awful as last time; mentally.
however, dh and i are keen... and i just wondered if anyone had got pg straight afterwards? or after just one cycle? last time it took 3 cycles to get pg, with dd. we arent actively ttc but we arent exactly doing much to stop it.. and of course now i worry that if i do get pg this time, so soon....something will go wrong. so i need reassurance, and success stories please ladies!

pg end Oct 02, m/c November 2002 at 6 weeks, pg again by New years eve 2002,well actually conceived boxing day as we were both really really ill for days after that and didnt do it for some weeks !! Had dd Sept 2003. cant remember cycles at that time, looking at the weeks not even sure we waited, must have TTC straight after nxt bleed after m/c?? Not sure now.

There are plenty of success stories on here, but I'll just add mine: Early m/c at beginning of July 04, +ve preg test 23/9/04, 23wks now. 2 periods in between.
Good luck

yoyo, nice to hear there are some supportive gps out there. I sometimes think doctors haven't a clue about bedside manner!

TTC 3.5 years & had an ectopic.Had an op to remove it.7wks later was pregnant again with my lovely dd.It was nerve wracking being pg again so soon,especially as I had major bleeds with dd & was convinced I'd lose her,but she arrived fit & healthy.

Good luck to you,it is horrible to lose a baby.

I had a miscarraige after becoming pregnant while using persona as conyraception.
I suffered the miscarraige in the August & immediatly went on the mini pill, to prevent another pregnancy. (I was months away from my wedding day & wanted to fit in my dress!)
Anyway, in the December I took my pill 5 hours late one day & weeks later discovered I was once again pregnant!
Although nervous, the pregnancy went well & my ds1 was born 9 months later!
I was told, that I was probably more fertile than ever after the D&C, as they give you such a clear out.

I had an mc in May 2002 and got pregnant again same month with no period in between. DD born 9 months later (Feb 2003). Had not been intending to try that month but a lovely GP said go for it.

Had a missed miscarriage (12 weeks) had a d and c mid Jan, was pregnant again in March and had the baby early Jan the following year.

Haven't read all the posts, dramaqueen, but I had an early m/c, then waited until I had a normal period which was 6 weeks later. 2 weeks after that I must have conceived! We now have a lovely ds so I wouldn't worry about waiting for months afterwards!

mummyhill · 21/02/2005 08:41

I suffered a mc in september somewhere between 6 and 9 weeks (How accurate were my health professionals?) I waited on cycle as it had made me more determined to try again. We found out on 28th December that our efforts were not in vain. Have now reached 12 weeks and am over the moon. Good luck. Go for it when you feel ready just try and leave it till after you have had a visit from AF so you can get your dates.

HI Dramaqueen72,

i just mentioned this on another thread....i had an ERPC and when my periods hadn't returned by 10 weeks after I was sent for a scan. The hospital were expecting to find that they had missed the baby in the ERPC and I would have to have another one. Instead they found I was nearly 8 weeks pregnant.

Loui · 22/02/2005 00:04

Hi, there seem to be lots of reassuring stories here but I'll add mine anyway - I had 3 miscarriages before I had my ds in Feb 1999, then I started trying for another Dec 1999, got pregnant straight away and miscarried again Feb 16 2000, only to conceive again 14 March 2000 (don't ask how I can be that precise ). My dd was born happy and healthy Jan 2001, so good luck, I hope everything works out for you.

Someone please help !
Tested positive end of March was very shocked but was no surprise because I was not using contraception. I actually thought being 40 I could not conceive anymore I know laughable ...
I had 4 early scans and not one person could tell me how far gone I was anyway turns out I was 11 weeks and had a missed misscarage ..was devasted but out of my hands and believe it happens for a reason .
I had to have d&c after waiting a week and still no bleeding or pain I wanted it to be over ...
It’s been nearly 2 weeks and my sexual appetite is unbelievable I had sex quite a lot I know I’m being dangerous and stupid but is anyone had a survived pregnancy this soon I’m driving myself mad with worry ...!??
