Pregnancy Info HOME

I just wanted to let you ladies know how helpful this message board was for me. I was 11 weeks pregnant and found out the baby quit growing at 9.5. I was devistated. They did a d&c on march 1. I am trying again. I think we didn't even wait a week. I just keep praying!

Went in to doc on 4/5 thinking I was 8 wks. according to my dates. Doctor and I saw heartbeat, but he said it was only 5 wks. Progesterone was low, I was put on pills, but we found out on 4/20 the baby had pa__sed. I had a D&C on the 26th, and had my post-op this past Tuesday. Doc said we could start trying right away, so we are. Hoping for the best. It's only been three days, but I swear my b___sts are super sore. I know that's my hope going overboard, but oh well! Good luck to everyone.

Congrats to you Staci! No cramping here just a whole lot of nausea and am drained of all energy.

Hi Guys, I wrote a few weeks ago concerned as I fell pregnant straight after a miscarriage without having a menstrual period. Im happy to say that I'm doing really well and am now approx 6 & half weeks, still early days but feeling fantastic and very positive about it this time around. I honelstly believe all this advise about waiting a few months b4 trying again is rubbish, if you are emotionally and physically ready then just go for it. I will keep you all posted as to how I'm travelling. I'm so happy & excited and wish you all well....xoxox

Hi everyone... I started to miscarry on May 11. My doctor said we should wait until I've had 2 periods. That seems like such a long time. I would like to start sooner. Any advive??

Kim - advice from doctors seem to vary, and could depend on individual cases. However, if it was not tubal or molar (a "normal miscarriage" ) the only reason to wait from a doctors points of view is dating of the next pg. But for yourself it must be when you're emotionally ready. So whenever you feel like it!

Thank you ladies, for all the encouraging words and stories. I had a natural m/c at 5.5 weeks, on May 1st. My doc said to wait 1-3 cycles, for dating purposes and to heal emotionally. I noticed cervical mucous changes just like normal before ovulation, so we decided to ttc. I have been nervous and anxious, though, about having problems again if conceive so early. And this site seems to be the only source of hope out there for ttc right away. Good luck to you all and wish me luck!

Hi girls. I am so confused about when TTC. Everybody gives me a different answer. Before I got pregnant and before I miscarried I thought I knew everything about pregnancy as I'm working with pregnant women and all. Right now I feel really stupid and I don't know what to believe. My books and what I learned in school say one thing and each doctor has a different advice to give. What I realized today is that the body responds differently for each woman. I have been very sad after I lost the baby and I did not use protection although the doctor suggested to wait 2 cycles before trying to conceive. I don't know if I'm pregnant now. I am getting the same symptoms I had when I got pregnant the first time. I am always in the bathroom and smells bother me.I also feel very dizzy. Could I be pregnant or is it just my immagination? One of my friends told me that I could miscarry again if I am pregnant now. I feel so sad. Help???

Crisy, While your friend may have meant well, many of us have doctors that have a__sured us there is not problem with getting pregnant right away following a miscarriage. My own doctor, considered one of the best in our area, told us he and his wife conceived immediately after a miscarriage, and everything went perfectly fine. Many of us believe that if your body ovulates, then it is telling you that it is ready for a baby. I don't believe there is any proof that a pregnancy immediately following a miscarrige is doomed. Best to you.

Hi Kelly. Thank you for making me feel better. I really needed to hear that. I will have to wait and see if I am pregnant. Tace care.

Staci - Hope all is well. have you gone for the u/s yet? How far along are you?

Hi Ladies, I am new on this forum. I would just like to know if any of you ladies had a problem falling pregnant - like pcos - ? I had a mc last week and i was hoping to get some more hope from all this ladies on the forum who also battled and mc. Please be so kind to send me all your stories.

Hi Angel, So sorry for your loss...Dh and I had ttc for 3+ years. I suffered from Ashermans Syndrome, which is when your uterus is full of adhesions. I had surgery to clear out my uterus, and 4 months later we fell pg for the first time (in Jan.). We had a m/c at 11 wks and were devestated. This is our 1st cycle after m/c (on 3/22) and we are ttc again. Best wishes to you!

sharon, thanks for your thoughts...we went in on monday and we are 5w5d and were too early from what the tech said, like 24 hours too early to see a heartbeat and she said to come back on monday for another u/s to make sure it is a viable pg is how she said it, so I am nervous and scared that this too will not survive and will m/c again. any advice? I woke this morning with some cramps so of course I think the worst of everything, trying to stay positive-how are you doing?

Staci, I know how you feel after a mc and then expecting again, we worry about every little thing we feel. Try and relax and stay positive. Best of luck to you!

I am like you Angel in that I have PCOS. This made it somewhat difficult to conceive the first pregnancy which ended up in a m/c. I really want to TTC again straight after m/c because it seems to work for a lot of people. My doc says to wait 3 months which seems SO LONG to me right now! However, he said that if I were 35 he would tell me to TTC right away. Some docs say it is okay to TTC right away. For those who have heard this do you mind telling me if age was ever mentioned in the conversation?
