2 miscarriages and now can't get pregnant.

[sparkle1981]

i have had 2 early miscarriages in the past, the last of which was 5 months ago. both times i got pregnant the first month of trying. it has been 5 months since the last one now and i'm still not pregnant. does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and why it's taking so long to get pregnant again?

Very sorry to hear about your miscarriages, sparkle.
But 5 months is really not very long to get pregnant, although I know it must seem it when it happened straight away previously. Average is 10 months I think. So I doubt there's actually anything 'wrong' with you now, just that it happened surprisingly quick the first two times.

Sorry about your MC's :(

TTC for 5 months without success does not necessarily mean there is a problem.

I had an early MC last year, and it then took me a year to conceive. I was climbing up the walls with frustration, but it can take a while even with no problems.

If you are worried, I'm sure a GP would be understanding, and may be able to do some tests to reassure you.

Good luck! x

Sorry to hear about your miscarriages.

It took me a year and a half of trying and 4 mcs in that time (not trying to scare you, sorry) to get pregnant, but I am now 20wks so it will happen, its just frustrating that no one can tell you when!

I think it could be worth going to your doctor too. Just make sure its one that you know and like, I saw one who was really unsympathetic and dismissive which made me feel worse, so I cried in front of her

Good luck :)

thanks everyone. it does make me feel a bit better to hear it has taken other people a while too. just seems like its taking ages after happening so quickly the last 2 times. guess i just have to be patient and hope for the best. :-)

5 months of TTC is really not a long time.... I know it feels that way. I conceived very quickly the first time, but this ended in MC. Then took us 11 months of TTC before we got PG again. It is really frustrating but there doesn't appear to be any pattern to it, easy one time, harder the next... Just natures way I guess. I'm now 35 weeks PG and thought it would never happen again.. It did... Just took time. Dr told me that even with a fertile, healthy couple having sex at the right time, every cycle is like throwing a 6 on the dice... Total luck and chance. Good luck. X

I would agree with excitedmummy2be, it took 14 months of TTC before I became PG with my DD and this time it took 2 months!! There doesn't seem to be any pattern. Good luck! x

I agree with all of above SPARKLE your time will come.I had a MMC in Oct 08, then didn t get pg until Aug 09. the MC again.Had a CP in Dec 09 then fell pg again at the end of Dec 09.Now 39 weeks pg.It does, at times, feel like it will NEVER happen but hopefully hearing/reading stories of people like us that have been through what you re experiencing will help.I have always found planning stuff:like holidays, weekends away etc.....always helped us regain some sense of normality, gave us something to aspire to and, normally, ended up with me being pg [tho, normally ending in a MC , particularly, every time we arranged to go to a theme park!!!!!]

Good luck

It's totally normal - it can take anything up to 12-18 months to conceive even if you don't have any issues at all. I've had 2 MCs as well and am now 29 weeks pg - it took me 1 month, 3 months and 7 months to get pg.

Hello,
I have one child who is now 14, I'm 36 years old and have been trying to conceive with no luck. With my first child I had a normal pregnancy in 2004. I got pregnant again in 2006 and had a miscarriage. It took me 10 years to get pregnant again but again I had a miscarriage. I want another baby but its taking me so long to get pregnant and it's been really hard. Has anyone gone through this?

There is nothing wrong with you. I'm sorry about your miscarriages but I have had the same experience as you. I got pregnant straight away twice and that was in mid 2016 and lost both early. Then nothing until I got pregnant this January and now I'm 18 weeks. It can take healthy couples 2 years to get pregnant. What worked for us the first time we tried it was SMEP (Sperm Meets Egg Plan). Have a Google if you're unsure what it is. But it covers all of your bases and is really good, imo. Good luck.

snenna you might get more replies if you start your own thread or you'll find people tend to reply to the OP as the poster after you did.
At 36 I'd be asking your GP to run some tests, including AMH levels which gives ovarian reserve, not just the basic hormone tests.
