Pregnant?

Hi..after a little advise. I had a miscarriage at the end of july, and I've read so many online site's and books about when is most likely to concieve again. Some say give the body 6months+ to heal, others say to try again straight away. I was wondering if anyone has been in similar situation and give some advise. As it is, I think I could be pregnant again. Late period, sickness (on a night) extreme tiredness and gone off certain foods.

So sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Thanks

I think the 6 months recommendation is also for emotional healing, not just physical.

If you feel like you're ready mentally for another pregnancy, then that's great, and you should try not to worry about any physical problems.

I think the only thing to do is POAS and see what happens!

Blue I am so sorry to hear about your loss. [Flwers] It's heart breaking when you lose a baby. I mc in Feb/march this year so totally understand what you are going through.

In actual fact you can start ttc as soon as you feel ready. There is no medical reason why you can't unless your GP advises again it. The only reason they want you to wait a couple of months is because it makes it easier for them to date the pregancy. Unless you had a very late loss the is no reason to wait.

My DH and I didn't wait and we carried on ttc with te full knowledge and support of our GP and MW. We got a BFP six weeks after the mc. For us starting ttc so quickly after did not take away from the pain we felt/still feel following our lose. I am he currently 37+4.

I wish you well

It also depends on how your miscarriage was managed ie if surgical intervention was needed - after my D&Cs I was told to wait for at least two periods before getting pregnant again. You also tend to be more fertile after a miscarriage so I was advised to try again as soon as possible xx

Thank you for your advise and comments. It's been 3 and half months since I miscarried. Little pea pod, I as well feel the loss and possibly being pregnant again terrifies me after what happened. As it is, I'm pretty sure I am pregnant again, so a long conversation with my partner is needed. Doing a test today to confirm.
