Hope/Positive stories after miscarriage

Hi everyone. I had a miscarriage back in June- I’ve since had 2 surgeries for retained products. My experience throughout the whole time was horrific, bleeding and clotting for 4 months then finally having a D&C which failed, then paying private for a hysteroscopy beginning of September.
Ive found it so hard to cope with and still feel hopeless most days. I’ve convinced myself something is wrong with me and I’ll never get pregnant again, my mind changes everyday telling myself I won’t ever ovulate or I’ve developed something wrong with me since all of this. Has anyone else experienced these feelings and worries? It’s hard to not feel alone.
Also does anyone have any positive stories of conceiving again after loss? I’d love to hear them as I hope to be pregnant again as soon as possible.

So sorry for your loss. I had a MMC in May and had medical management. Recovery was awful and I was bleeding for around 6 weeks after. I felt like it would never happen for me again but we conceived 3 months later. Now 13 weeks pregnant and all is going well. What happened will still always be painful but you will get through it.

Sorry for your loss.

I had recurrent miscarriages and it was a hellish time but I had two healthy children in the end.

5 early miscarriages before dd1 and one at 11weeks before dd2. For some it’s a bit of a rocky road but I think most get there in the end. Sending positive vibes your way

I had recurrent miscarriages, but I just did the dream feed for my baby. He's almost 6 months old 😊 I conceived him the month after my last miscarriage. Sending hope ♥️

I had recurring miscarriages (six) but in among them managed to have my lovely boy.

Keep going, you’ll very likely get there x

So sorry 😞 Did you conceive quickly afterwards or did it take time? It’s so hard not to put pressure on myself x

So sorry to hear that you've gone through this. I had a miscarriage 7 years ago and I really struggled to conceive after it. We tried for a few years before getting any medical intervention, we then did 2 rounds of IVF the first one didn't take and the second did but I miscarried at about 9 weeks. After that second miscarriage though I fell pregnant naturally and I'm currently 22 wks pregnant.

Honestly it's diffirent for everyone but it's so tough, the never ending dissapointment when it doesn't happen sometimes heightens the loss also. Go easy on yourself and try to look after yourself. I know it isn't easy.

I miscarried my first baby on 28/12/2011. My rainbow baby was born on 28/12/2012.

Don't give up hope x

GeorgeR28 · 19/10/2023 22:45

I’m so sorry to hear that 😞 it really is the hardest thing to go through. Was there a reason you struggled to conceive afterwards? I’m so scared this will be me 😞
congratulations on your pregnancy! Thankyou for your reply! ❤️

Miscarried in 2018, tried for a year and a bit but went private for testing and ended up doing IVF. DD was born November 2020.

Pregnant naturally in 2021 but miscarried at 5 weeks.

Currently starting the process for frozen embryo transfer for DC2. Looks like I can't carry / conceive naturally so it's IVF for us again.

Sorry for your loss, it's soul destroying x

I've had 2 mc in a row. The first was at 6 weeks and fairly straight forward.

The second was a mmc at 9 weeks where I needed a d&c. That one really knocked me and I was pretty low for a few months.

I was pregnant with dd2 4 months later and everything went well.

I was 38 so knew I was running out of time.

Fooksticks · 19/10/2023 22:51

To add, I got pregnant with dd1 no problem.

GeorgeR28 · 19/10/2023 23:20

@IsThereABarUpThere im so sorry for your loss. It really is the hardest thing to go through and so hard to be patient!

@Fooksticks So sorry to hear that 😞 I’m the exact same, it’s like my whole existence is focused on being pregnant again and I KNOW that’s the worst thing I can do to myself but it’s so hard not too 😞 Thankyou for replying to me and congratulations ❤️

There wasn't a reason it took me so long to conceive it was put down to unexplained infertility. Both me and my husbands tests were all normal and they couldn't find anything to suggest why it was so difficult for us.
It was really tough but we got there eventually.

Miscarried in June pregnant with twins in November who were born healthily the following July, there is hope xx

Hi OP I know this thread is a little older - just currently going through something similar and wondered how things turned out for you? X
