Advice after hysteroscopy

I had a missed miscarriage nearly 15 weeks ago, medical management (did not work) then a d&c. After no period for 11 weeks I knew something wasn’t right. I was very unwell and felt no one was listening. After pushing the doctors and hospital they finally scanned me and found I still had retained products of conception. I refused another d&c as terrified of ashermans syndrome and them not removing everything again. So I opted for the ‘safer’ of my two choices.
Today I underwent my hysteroscopy which they said went very well and everything has now been removed.
However no one really gave me any information on where to go from here.
When is safe to start trying again for a baby? I don’t want to risk in any way me doing something that could end in a miscarriage again.
I want to start trying as soon as possible, but what is recommended?
this really has been the most traumatic and heartbreaking experience and emotionally I am so drained. I have 3 months pregnant and then 4 months trying to grieve whilst not being able to fully move on. 7 months of my life just wrapped up in grief. I want to start this positive journey forward but im so terrified that even if I do fall pregnant again it will be clouded with such fear and trauma. I honestly applaud anyone who has been through this, and survived this more than once. You are stronger than I feel.

Hi @Beebee12333 so sorry that you have had to go through all of this, it's absolutely heartbreaking .

I hope you don't mind me messaging but I just wanted to see how you were getting on ?

I was told I had a MMC in July and so far I've had 2 erpc and then a hysteroscopy for RPOC which was just over two weeks ago but my pregancy tests are still positive ! How long after your hysteroscopy did you get a negative test ? I feel like this is just never ending and I'm finding it so difficult x

Hiya. Thank you for messaging and for your kind words ❤️
So sorry to hear you’ve been through similar.

I got a negative result almost immediately, maybe 3 days after. however I only had a very small amount of tissue left (it was just causing infection and I wasn’t having periods to get it out naturally so needed out).
I wouldn’t worry massively because it is probably just left over HCG.

I made the doctors book me a scan for 2 weeks after the hysteroscopy to make 100% sure all was gone. I would highly suggest doing that as it has really helped my piece of mind.
I have a follow up scan booked in 6 weeks time to just again confirm everything is clear.

you hear about miscarriages, you don’t expect the surgeries and months of recovery it takes to be normal again.

My period is due in the next few days… im just hoping things might finally go back on Track 🤞🏼

Take care, get the doctors to scan you or ask for them to monitor your bloods. You must advocate for yourself ❤️
