miscarriage at 8 weeks

[laurajane89]

hello i am laura and i am new to this forum. i had a miscarriage 2 weeks ago and i am soo desperate to be pregnant again. i feel empty and lost, my partner has been great and has been my rock. when is the right time to start ttc again? or there a right time?
Really would like some support on this. please help me

So sorry your going through this. I've had 3 and its pretty rubbish.
Some gps recommend waiting until AF arrives so they can date your next pregnancy but personally when ever you feel ready, biologically and emotionally.
I always wait abit because I think the bfn would push me over the edge.

This is my second mc. i know it seems really soon to ttc again but i feel like its the only way i can move on. is that selfish?

Only you know when your ready but don't forget to involve your oh as he might not be ready

He really wants to ttc again

Sorry for your loss, it's awful isn't it?

I had a mc at 11 weeks last year. I was like you, desperate to get pregnant again. My advice to you would be to wait until a week or so after the bleeding has stopped, and do a pregnancy test. If it's negative then you will know that your body has gone back to 'normal', and if you later you get a positive test you will know it's a new pregnancy. If it's still positive 4 weeks after your mc it may be a sign that the mc isn't complete so might be worth a trip to the GP or getting back in contact with your EPU.

I had a negative test within a few weeks, but it took about 3 months for me to have a normal cycle. It took about 9 months for me to get pregnant again, and those 9 months were long, but it happened .

Best wishes

thankyou amandinepoulain your advice is very helpful, i had a complete miscarriage and i havent had any bleeding since so i think i wil ttc again in a couple of weeks

hi Laura, my miscarriage was 2 weeks ago too so I really sympathise. I have been told I only need to wait till bleeding has stopped before trying again, not thatwe are going to! and I had a d and c, seems to depend on which doc you see. good luck x

Hi jens42
Sorry hear about your miscarriage, yes i was also told to only wait until the bleeding has stopped so i think that is what i am going to do. Hope your okay.
