How long after a miscarriage did it take to conceive again?

I'll find out for sure on Wednesday if I've had a miscarriage - convinced I have after bad bleeding and cramps.

How long did it take you to conceive afterwards? All I can think about is wanting to be pregnant again :(

Miscarried in August, was pregnant again in October.

I’m sorry. Flowers

After my first miscarriage it took me around three months to become pregnancy. After my second miscarriage, I became pregnant again without having a period in between.

Sorry you are going through this. Took 12mths to get pregnanct aftr 1st mc, but then mc again at 7 weeks. Been TTC over 2yrs now since the 2nd MC, and starting IVF next month.

So sorry to hear this.. I also had a miscarriage which finished on Christmas Day 2019, I then randomly decided to take an ovulation test on 7th January, I got a positive result, though wasn't 100% sure as had never used one before... in any case my other half and I did the deed and I got my BFP on the 18th Jan, about a month after mc started... I'm now 7 weeks 5 days and we saw the heartbeat last weekend... I totally get your feeling of just wanting to be pregnant again and you should have faith that it will happen again. I went to doctors as have severe morning sickness and he said to me that many women's bodies just need a warm up go and then everything is fine after that, I hope very much this will be the case for you :)

Sorry to hear of your loss the desperation is awful.

I took 8 months to conceive and then had my mc last May. I got my bfp in January and I'm 9+4 so it took 8 months again.

I had fertility tests in between and dh and I are both very healthy with excellent fertility so it really is down to luck.

One thing I really struggled with was reading how fertile you allegedly are after a mc. This isn't always the case and I convinced myself I'd be pregnant immediately because of what other people said and this ultimately caused me even more stress. I hope it happens for you again soon but if it takes a little while, give yourself a chance to heal emotionally and try not to put too much pressure on yourself. Thanks

Sorry just read your message again OP, fx for you that everything is okay x

Dirtdirtdirtandmoredirt · 16/02/2020 13:18

I have had a few chemicals but in terms of pregnancy after 6 weeks...miscarried in the May, found out I was pregnant again in the June without a period, miscarried again with that baby (at around 4 months) and was pregnant again by November with my now 8 month old baby :-)

I remember a friend who was having trouble conceiving telling me how lucky I am to fall pregnant fast, in some ways I think it would have been better to give myself a little bit of breathing space. The 'second' mc was to be honest soul destroying. I know it's incredibly hard to try and take a step back when you are yearning for a baby and pregnancy so much and I didn't feel like I could have taken a break when I was in the midst of it all but on reflection I probably should have for my own mental well being. Sorry if that makes little sense or seems patronising. I don't mean it to be, I just know how all consuming TTc can become.

It has taken 10 or 11 months. Got my BFP a week ago. Very happy but very cautious at the same time.

Arthritica · 16/02/2020 16:16

The month before both babies 1 & 3 I miscarried. It's apparently very common.

I'm sorry for your (possible) miscarriage OP, but don't lose hope.

Gigitree · 16/02/2020 16:31

First of all, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I know that desperate to conceive again feeling all too well so I can really relate to what you are going through.

We had a miscarriage in June and we were pregnant again by October. Actually only took this long I think because we waited to have one period after the miscarriage as recommended by the doctor. But you don’t have to do this, they just said it’s good to give your body a break after what has happened and it also then helps with dates etc. If you were to get pregnant again right away.
Also, the miscarriage disrupted my cycle pattern and I began ovulating early/ soon after my period, so I think in the months following the miscarriage we weren’t doing the deed on the right days.
We ended up using the clear blue digital ovulation test which was worth every penny as we got pregnant the first month we used it.
You’ll also want to factor in how long it took you to get pregnant in the first place.

Good luck to you and be kind to yourself, it’s a horrible situation to be in and nothing anyone can say will make the grief go away, just give yourself time and reach out for help/support if you need it Flowers

Three months, but I bled for a month, then got a uterine infection, then anaemia. Once my iron levels went back to normal I got pregnant immediately and that pregnancy was smooth sailing.

Good luck, I know what you mean about only being able to think about getting pregnant again Thanks

DappledThings · 16/02/2020 17:53

One cycle.

DC1 ended up being born a year to the day after I found out I was pregnant the first time.

bee222 · 16/02/2020 19:31

I miscarried in April last year and was pregnant again in August. I miscarried that one in October and i'm still trying to get pregnant again.

MamaMama20 · 17/02/2020 03:50

Sorry to hear of your loss, I know the feeling of desperately wanted to be pregnant again - its emotional draining.
I miscarried in the March and caught again in May.
One thing I did think helped my cycle get back to normal (although could have been a fluke) was taking Pregnacare Conception.

Good luck !

Discoballs · 17/02/2020 04:08

Miscarried in Jan after trying for 18 months. pregnant again in March and carried to full term.

yelyahyoung · 17/02/2020 05:59

Within 2 weeks, so without a period in between. We were shocked in the best way. Now we’re 39 weeks and I’m bloody ready to pop lol. Good luck and all the best everyone xxx

Kezmum14 · 17/02/2020 08:39

Miscarried 28th November, had a bfp of 9th January and my ds was born September :)

Jurassiclover · 17/02/2020 12:51

Miscarried in October and still awaiting my BFP 😔 it's breaking my heart that it's just not happening as we fell pregnant 1st month before MC so assumed I would fall quickly again

Nowayorhighway · 17/02/2020 13:07

Always got pregnant two months after my miscarriages, all three times.
