After MC how soon did it take you to get pregnant?

[HelloOverHere]

Hi ladies,

I've just had a miscarriage at 8 weeks and miscarried naturally. I got the all clear just yesterday Wednesday and told my period will go back to normal around 4-6 weeks.

My midwife said if pregnancy test still shows positive to contact them and they didn't want to worry me by telling me what that could mean if shown positive - can anyone tell me ?

Also how soon did you fall pregnant? I miss being pregnant but obviously want my body to recover and don't want to rush into it.

How did you feel when you fell pregnant again .. was it nerves that you could have a MC again? Did you feel this time it was going to happen?

Im so sorry for your loss - hope you're doing ok.

I don't really want to be the first to respond here as my experience isn't positive - I had a mmc which was identified at about 12 weeks and I had surgical management. Was told I'd be fertile straight away but advised to have one normal period before ttc again, so it'd be easier to date it. Had a period about 4 weeks later and conceived straight after that but unfortunately that resulted in another mmc.

Tbh I really didn't enjoy the second time I was pregnant, I was expecting the worst the whole time and just couldn't be happy about it. Maybe if I'd left a bigger gap I'd have felt differently but I don't think so.

So sorry for your loss.

My first pregnancy ended in a MMC and subsequent D&C in April. I got my period exactly four weeks afterwards.

I fell pregnant again in June and am now 20 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby girl

God it's so horrible isn't it. Big hugs to you.

I had a D&C after a MMC in early March. Had one period in between (think my cycle was a bit longer than the normal 28 days) and then was pregnant again by the end of April. I'm now 26 weeks. On reflection it was probably too quick for me; I'm not sure I processed my grief before becoming pregnant again and I'm only now coming to terms with it all.

The limbo is horrendous. Try not to drive yourself mad with pregnancy testing - it can take a while to get a properly negative test, I don't think mine was until my first period.

I hope it happens for you very soon and that the outcome is a lot more positive.

I had a miscarriage at 19 weeks at the beginning of January, got a positive pregnancy test at the beginning of May. Currently 28 weeks pregnant and tbh only started to feel more relaced about this pregnancy since 24 weeks. Did have a bleed at 16 and 20 weeks though which made me immediately assume I'd lost this baby too so it's been fair from easy and stressfree

3 months after my first miscarriage

Sorry for your loss

Sorry for your loss
Took me a week. Period hadn’t returned so I was basically pg for a year
When I told my mum she thought I was having a breakdown and said “ no sweetheart you lost the baby don’t you remember?”
Mentally it was very hard as I felt I hadn’t grieved properly and people seemed to think that it meant everything was now ok, which it wasnt

16 days

I am so sorry for your loss xx
I had a missed miscarriage on 1st Feb this year and had to have 3 procedures to remove 'everything'. My last procedure was 14th March and I found out I was pregnant again 3rd June. I feel extremely grateful and lucky to now be 24 weeks pregnant with a baby boy. The anxiety I have is really high at the minute and I question everything but we've been through a lot. I feel like my body was ready but my mind was not. I cannot wait till February so I can have him safely here. Like Hoppinggreen said, people presume that once your pregnant again you are over your trauma and everything should be fine now. That's not the case how can we just forget what happened.

Sending you lots of love

Sorry for your loss.

I had a mc at 7 weeks last autumn. Got my period 4 weeks later, although my cycle wasn't as regular as it had been before in the months following. It took 4 cycles to conceive again (I believe my acupuncture helped) and I'm now 30 weeks.

Lots of luck to you x

So sorry for your loss. We miscarried at 7 weeks in June and conceived again about 2 and a half weeks later xx

Sorry for your loss.

I had a miscarriage in August, got my period 4 weeks later and got pregnant again that cycle. I’m now nearly 5 weeks and hoping it sticks this time.

So sorry for your loss .

I had a MMC at 11 weeks last year in May. I had surgical management and got my first period about five weeks later, I bled for about two weeks after the surgery. I was pregnant again by September so after three cycles. Sadly that also resulted in a MMC at 12 weeks with surgical management in November. My period returned after four weeks and I was pregnant again by February so after two cycles. I’m currently 37 weeks with a healthy baby .

I had an MMC and D&C end of April when 11 weeks pregnant and fell pregnant in Sep so 6weeks pregnant now. Still early days and it's not the same as being pregnant before an MC but I'm not sure it ever could be as you are so much more aware of the possibility of an MC. Very sorry for your loss.

I had a mc at 5+4 on 23rd Sept and just got another bfp ❤️ Good luck x

Hello, and sorry to hear about your miscarriage.

I miscarried naturally at 9 weeks in mid-April this year. Bleeding went on for 2-3 weeks, then I had about a week gap followed by what I think was a period. We started ttc straight after that. I had another period in mid-June, about 40 days later (v unusual for me to be so late - I am normally regular at around 28/29 days, so I guess that was my body getting back to normal). I fell pregnant with my next ovulation, so had a positive pregnancy test in my hands by mid-July. Currently 18 weeks and all going well!

So, time-wise, it was 3 months from miscarriage to positive pregnancy test in my hands. Cycle-wise, it was two periods, neither of them normal.

I did feel a bit more disconnected from the first trimester of pregnancy this time round - I think I was in self-preservation mode. BUT I felt really sick this time, whereas I felt incredibly well with the pregnancy I lost, so that gave me hope. I had an early scan at 10 weeks which was very helpful.

Best of luck :)

@BadBadBeans this gives me hope too. Only 4 weeks but been feeling terribly sick today and all night. Never felt sick at all when I had my m/c x

Hi everyone
Thank you for your replies.
I was the same @BadBadBeans didn't feel sick or ill with pregnancy that I loss

I do miss being pregnant.

What if you've DTD before your normal period ,.. how do I know I'm pregnant if I don't know if I'm late or not?
A friend got pregnant a week after mc ... crazy
I just wanna be pregnant with a healthy baby.

Did you track ovulation? I tracked ovulation this month and got a bfp before my first period. I just started testing at 10dpo x

@MeredithGrey1 Hiya! I know this was an old thread but going through my old messages and came across yours... just wondering if you had your baby in the end? :) x

@HelloOverHere yes, I did thanks! My DD is just over 3 weeks. I hope it’s going well for you too

@MeredithGrey1 amazing! Congratulations, I finally got a positive and 6 weeks 5 days and hoping this one sticks I'm just paranoid and worried all the time.
It's comforting to know you've had your baby girl helps me feel positive towards my pregnancy! Xx

@HelloOverHere congratulations!! I was also very worried, particularly up to and around the time number of weeks where I miscarried the first time but everything was fine and I had no issues at all. I really hope it all goes well for you
