Want to conceive after surgical abortion

Hi, new member here. I have lost my baby at 11 week . Been trying for six years (unexplained infertility)and this was my first pregnancy. everything was Okey ,I saw heartbeat was 189 about a week ago on USG.
But about 3 days ago suddenly I felt bad cramps throughout morning and I passed huge blood clot,and after that I passed a huge hard flesh( sorry for tmi) and within 1 minute my sac was out intact with the foetus floating inside. I was rushed to the hospital and I had to remove the placenta via d&c. My doc told me they can't find why it happened.
Now i am trying to recover both physically and mentally. I want to try right after my first cycle.and my doc said it's Okey if we are ready.

Anybody here can you please share your experience regarding this. Is it Okey or it will increase the risk of recurrent miscarriage? How long I should wait?
If anybody have positive story please share with me.🙂🙂
Thanks for reading this long post.

Just to let you know, your title isnt quite right - some people think you may have chosen to end the pregnancy when it sounds like you had a misscarriage then had to have ERPC surgery to remove the placenta.

I can answer a couple of your Qs - one misscarriage does not increase the likelihood of it happening again. They recommend you wait until after first period you have after miscarriage.

Wishing you all the best xx

Hey, I'm very sorry for your loss.

Just mirroring above tbh.
It doesn't increase the chance of another miscarriage, it is best to wait until after you've had a period to allow your body to recover and reset because after a D&C your period may not come back for afew weeks, mine took 8 weeks to return.

Take care Daffodil

I'm very sorry to hear this - what a sad and horrible experience.

Echoing PP, I have asked MNHQ to amend your title because most people will read 'abortion' as meaning a voluntary termination of pregnancy.

I've had a number of miscarriages and AFAIK the waiting a period makes things clearer-cut if you do conceive again - it's not believed to have any impact on mc rate (I think a higher rate when you conceive in consecutive cycles has been observed in some studies, and it happened to me once, but I don't think a clear causal link has been found).

@TheDaydreamBelievers thank you ,I wasn't thinking about the title that way, I am so sorry. My doctor said it was a surgical abortion.
Thank you so much for your kind words.

@ApplesandBananas21 thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with me. I still can't get over what happened. I prayed for this baby for six years and here I am standing in that limbo again.

@MitheringSunday thank you, I guess I just have to wait for my next period then.
Lots of love for all of you. 🙂
