Hi everyone,
I am due to have a surgical miscarriage management after a missed miscarriage. I have already suffered a natural miscarriage a few months ago. Has anyone had a successful pregnancy after having the surgical option?

Following this. I had an MVA on Monday after losing my twins at 7w. Would love to hear success stories of those who conceived after a MVA, how long it took for AF/ovulation etc. Sending love - when is your surgery? X

Yes. ERPC under general then MVA under local. 3rd pregnancy resulted in a healthy baby. I was 42.

I was prescribed progesterone pessaries in the 2nd after a bleed at c 6weeks. In the 3rd pregnancy I used progesterone from my positive test until after the healthy dating scan. I won't know if that made the difference.

Not me personally but 2 friends have. With one the next pregnancy resulted in a healthy baby, the other had 2 other miscarriages (naturally managed) but again went on to have a healthy baby.

Hi, yes I did. Had surgery to manage a missed miscarriage at what should have been 12 weeks. Had one cycle in between then fell pregnant with dd who is now 3
I'm sorry you're going through this 💜

Same as above poster. Surgical Management of MMC, one cycle and then successful pregnancy to DS3. Currently up with my newborn.
So yes, entirely fine after miscarriage but doesn't comfort you right now. I'm so sorry, I found it easier after the surgery. Be kind to yourself x

I had surgery for a MMC and then had another MMC a few months later which I again had surgery for. I went on to have two successful pregnancies after this at the age of 42 and 45! Don't give up hope x

@Sherlock30 thank you for sharing your story! It gives me hope. Was your worried about scarring after your surgery? I have just had mine and recovering now. I didn’t lose a lot of blood which was good and it went well.

@Bea11 thats great news! I’m going to try and be positive. These stories do help. Was you worried about scarring after your surgery? I am recovering well but the thought of scarring is worrying me.

@LilFoxes thank you for sharing! It really does give me hope. I’m recovering from my surgical now. I didn’t lose a lot of blood but I am worried about scarring. Was you worried at the time? I’m so happy you got your rainbow baby!

I did! I had two healthy babies afterwards, first one conceived 4 or 5 months after the surgery.
I'm sorry you are going through this.

I've had

-MC
-Baby
-MMC with D&C
-Baby
-Surgical termination for medical reasons
-MC
-Baby

So the two surgeries didn't affect the successful pregnancies for me. Wishing you all the best. I know how difficult it is. Xx

Rainbowflower2024 · 24/05/2024 22:27

@river12 that's good news! How were you after your surgery? It’s the day after today and my emotions are all over the place. Was you worried about scarring?

OP posts:
Rainbowflower2024 · 24/05/2024 22:28

@Ellerby83 oh that’s good to know! I have been worried all day about possible scarring effecting future pregnancies. Trying to remain hopeful but it’s so hard.xx

Have you had a chance to speak to your consultant about your worries about scarring?
I was reassured by the surgeon and he was right, I didn't have any problems with my pregnancies or births.
I understand it is such a horrible time though, and so many worries about how things will turn out. Hopefully you can get a bit of reassurance from the replies on here, and your doctor. I had a very positive experience looking back, but it is so stressful at the time. Try to be kind to yourself

Thingsthatgo · 24/05/2024 22:45

Surgical management just before Christmas, I was pregnant by February and had my baby in November.
I hope that you are ok, it's a really difficult things to go through so go easy on yourself.

I forgot I had another d & c to remove retained placenta after dc1 so 3 surgeries in all.

@Sherlock30 hi! Did you do anything different for your successful pregnancy?

posting apprehensively for the first time, reading some of the comments on here have given me some hope. My 12 week scan yesterday revealed a MMC, first pregnancy. Absolutely gutted. Have surgery on Tuesday but now terrified it will happen naturally before then. I would love to hear anymore positive success stories after surgical miscarriage management. Hard times and my heart goes out to anyone in the same boat.

Rainbowflower2024 · 01/06/2024 12:35

@holi2024 so sorry that you’re experiencing this. I also found out I had a mmc on my 12th week scan. What should have been a happy day was quickly turned. It’s horrible to go through. I’m recovering from my surgical. I was booked in 3days after I found out. The day of the procedure went smoothly. I’m remaining positive although I have suffered 2 mc now. Two of my closest friends also suffered 2 mc but they are both pregnant and so far so good. Your emotions will be all over the place so please take care of yourself and take each day as it comes. Message me if you ever need someone to talk to. I found talking to other people about positive pregnancies and those who have experienced similar to be very helpful. The nurses at the hospital were also very positive and said a successful pregnancy is still very possible. I am not giving up.

@Rainbowflower2024 thank you so much for the message. I have lots of support around me but it still feels like a very lonely place so I appreciate hearing from someone who has been through the same. I’m so sorry you’ve experienced this too. Thank you for the positive stories. I’m feeling hopeful despite everything feeling quite raw. I’ll be relieved once Tuesday has come and gone and then hopefully I can start moving forward and thinking of the future. All the best to you xx
