Hi all,

i am very new to all this, i am 26y/o i got pregnant this year in January with my first baby as expected i was over the moon and all was well but then 11+2weeks i started bleeding and i panicked and then 111 booked an early scan with epu 2 days after which showed my baby stopped developing long before and that my sac is empty and i am having a miscarriage as it was very hard physically (pain was unbearable that i ended up in hospital) its harder mentally to deal with it and i started bleeding on 19th march 2024, and today23rd march bleeding is there but pain has almost gone
as i an very anxious and going through alot of thoughts just wanted to know how long would it take for me to get pregnant again?
i mean does anyone has any such experience that can help
thanks in advance.

Sorry for your loss. Please take the time you need to physically recover and grieve. I had some counselling after a MC, it really helped. It took us about the same amount of time to get pregnant again, I think 3-4 months. But unfortunately there is no way to know and no one can tell you. Some people it happens quicker than before and some takes longer.

@Faz19 sorry to hear of your loss, it's tough isn't it.

Im also 26 and have had a miscarriage this week which started on Tuesday at 7+5 (empty sac too), after one successful pregnancy.

The bleeding has been heavy with clots for 5 days now and severe pain every day, can anyone tell me if this is normal and how long it may last for?

@ThatBlueBiscuit it was my first pregnancy...my bleeding was very light on Tuesday 19th march, which increased a bit on Wednesday with a bit cramps which were coming like waves had an early scan at epu on thursday (11+3 weeks) where she said sac is there but she cant see anything or there was something too little i came home but at midnight on Thursday my pain started like crazy kind of pain i have never felt before in my life. It was coming like waves and unbearable so my husband ended up calling 111 they sent ambulance at 2am and while i was waiting for A&E doctor at 5am i passed big clots/buldges of blood after which i felt relieved and came home around 6am
but then friday i felt pain again but not that much
today pain is almost gone
i think if your pain is not easing you should call EPU
they gave me their number in case if pain hets worse or bleeding gets worse. I called them on Friday they said its normal to have pain as you are going through miscarriage. They booked a scan for coming Thursday at EPU 28th march.
i hope you feel better
its really hard to get through this. x
please get it checked if your pain is severe or not easing

I had an MMC in the Autumn. Now on fourth cycle of trying again but no luck so far. I am, however, remaining positive. First pregnancy was a pleasant surprise.

@Objectiontime fingers crossed hopefully coming month will be your month. I just got booked for surgical removal on Tuesday as it didnt pass naturally.
baby dust to you!!
keep your hopes up, miracles happen!
i am praying for you

Thank you Faz19 and I will be thinking of you this week. I had surgical removal too and a pretty quick recovery physically. Mentally it is harder I think. Take care and a hug from me xx

@Objectiontime thanks i just got back from hospital few hours ago. Still fuzzy, but all seems good. It feels good to think that after 2 weeks of anxiety and carrying dead fetus i can now try again but it feels sad that i feel so empty... i hope everything goes well and i get pregnant soon again. As for bleeding i have very minimal bleeding sort of spotting with no pain.
doctors and nurses were all amazing!!
thanks for your support

i hope you get pregnant soon and share the news with us ♥️

So glad that everything went so well for you. The empty feeling afterwards is horrible and then comes the bitter sweet sting of a negative pregnancy test, which came about two weeks after in my case. So sad because its confirmation it's over and so good to be able to try again if you want to.
Wishing us both, and indeed others in the same boat, good news soon xx

So sorry for your loss. It’s hard to say really it could happen straight away or take a while.

Just to add a positive story- I had a mmc in April 2022 (surgery for it in May) and conceived again in the August which was a successful pregnancy. I now have a ds who just turned one.

Try to keep hope. I wish you the best of luck. Also I hope you are doing ok, and if you have low points hopefully you have people close by you can talk to.
