Pregnancy Info HOME

Sorry to hear of your loss, I had a D & C on the 7th of January after finding out that we had had a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks. I also had no bleeding apart from on the same day as the D & C, and i'm waiting for my period so we can start trying again. I hope this is your period and that you fall pregnant straight away, lots of baby wishes to you, fingers crossed mine comes soon too. xx

Hi Sorry to hear about your loss. I can't believe that this happens to so many women... I now know that this is not my period, talked to my doctor yesterday and she thinks its "spotting" - can continue until I have my real period. Which will hopefully come within the next 2 - 3 weeks. I hope that all is well with you & that you also fall pregnant straight away. Keep in touch - its nice to know that we are not alone.

Hi Pikkewyn, I know, its strange I've never honestly thought the worst when we went for the scan as we already have a 19month old boy. Let me know how you get on and keep in touch, it's good to finally be able to talk to people that are going through the same thing as us. Take care x

Hello, I had my first miscarriage in December of 2009. I saw the heart beat at 7w4d and everything looked fine. I then started spotting with brown discharge and then light bleeding on the 17th of December, so I went in for am emergency ultrasound and found out the baby had stopped growing at 8w, I was 10w4d when I found out. I had a D&C on the 21st of December. I bleed for about 4 days, mainly spotting but no cramping. I just got my first AF today, January 21st which was one month exactly from my D&C. It has been exactly like all of my past periods, heavy but not terrible. We started ttc about a week and four days after my d&c, because my doctor cleared us to. I am not sure if I ovualted or not...or if my lining was too weak for the egg to attach, which is what I hear is common after a d&c. My husband and I are crossing our fingers and going to try again!! *Just a side note to everyone, I know going through a miscarriage can be very hard, but remember, this is all in God's plan for us. Just trust that God's will is perfect and give all of your worries to him.*

hi Pikkewyn and Chimpette22 , sorry for your loss and totally understand all you are going through and been through. i am in the waiting game too. waiting for my first period . i hopefully will get it two weeks from now. then i can start tracking for ttc. this time i will use ovulation testers. i also started taking folic acid and prenatals. how about you guys? when were your d&cs? i think you are supposed to count that day as cd1.

sorry ladies a just read when you had your d&cs. mine was 9th January.

Hi Sophie I have been taking folic acid and Pregnancy supplements since about 3 months before we ttc the first time and I am still taking them. It is 17 days since my D&C and hopefully I will have my next period within 1 1/2 weeks. Hope all is well with you. Lost of baby dust...

Hi I had a miscarriage in my 10 week of pregnancy...baby stoped developing at about 8 weeks. I had some pinkish discharge on Dec 3rd then on the morning of the 4th I went for my morning pee and there was blood so I went to emergancy and spent 7 hours going through exams and ultra sounds only to find out I was beggining to lose the baby...it was my second pregnancy and I was very upset cause I was so looking forward to having this baby. Anyway they sent me home but told me to come back on Monday for a D&C...I was in and out of the hospital in about an hour and a half...went home and rested. the next day there were bad cramps and some cloths but other than that everything was fine. I stoped bleeding 13 days later. On Jan 5th I started my period but only went for 3 days then today Jan 22 I started to bleed again. Is having 2 periods in one month after a D&C normal? I tried calling the doctor but he is out of the office untill Monday. I am thinking it is ok just because our bodies are kinda out of wack becasue of all the sudden changes to our bodies but I am just trying to put my mind at ease.

sorry I just noticed i put clothsI ment clots.

Hi Sophie, I started taking folic acid when I came off the pill at the end of August and fell pregnant in October. I haven't taken it since we found out about the baby, but I'll start taking it again once we start trying which hopefully will be soon. Think I'm due my monthlies in (fingers crossed) just under 2 weeks time, as my cycles were always 29 days... Fingers crossed for us all! Hi Mary, so sorry to hear of your loss, I think you have to count what your normal cycle would have been before you fell pregnant and base when your period will be due on that basis. Fingers crossed for us all, and here's hoping we all get the positive result sooner rather than later xxx

Thank you Chimpette....I went back after I read your post and figured out my periods as if I was never pregnant and today would actualy be the day I would have started my period so I am guessing what I had on Jan 5th was not my period at all and perhaps just left over...because ther was a little more brownish blood during that bleeding...and today it just looks more like a normal period. I think I will still call my doctor on Monday and fill him in since he thinks my period was on the 5th. We are working on conceving again now so I want to make sure he has all my info up to date.

Hi Mary, Yeah calling your doctor would be the best idea, I hope that it is your period and you can get back to trying to conceive. Best luck to you, fingers crossed xx

Hi Everyone Just to keep all of you updated: after I had my D&C on the 5th of January, I started my peroid last week ( 4th Feb). Now I need some advise as after my op my husband said that we should start ttc right again, but now he feels that Im pressuring him and he doesn't even want to have s_x anymore... I don't know what to do...I feel as if my whole world is crashing...

Hi Pikkeywn, So glad Af came for you ,now you can maybe be more accurate with ovalation etc. I am still waiting for af its been 32 days since my d&c and i feel all the symptoms of pms, suger cravings, weight gain, moody. but i have never wanted to start af so much! well my husband and i agreed to not try this coming months ovulation but next month. sometimes its really hard to wait but my husband is really stubborn about it. i have even thought of putting a hole in the condom , but i know the baby would be concieved from me being deceptive. And i dont want that!. but the waiting is really hard right now.

Hi Pikkewyn, Congratulations on getting your AF, I like Sophieoakley am still waiting, it's been 34 days now and just wish I'd either get the AF or the BFP...!!!! I'm sorry to hear about your husband, but I'm sure he'll come around, men are strange creatures, I don't know what I'd do if my husband said not to try... it must be torture.! I hope he comes around before you start ovulating, baby dust to everyone xx

Thank you, Sophieoakley and Chimpette22 After 2 days of torture, I decided to sit down with my husband and explain to him how important this is for me to at least start ttc again. I had a serious talk with my hubby last night & this whole thing was a big misunderstanding. He is afraid that I will be crushed if we don't fall pregnant immediately & wants to be sure that I am ready, both physically and emotionally. So I explained to him that I want to try & that I know that this is something that is not in our hands, but we can at least do our bit. I think you ladies need not worry, before my AF started I had terrible PMS symptoms for a week and a half, so I’m sure yours will start in the next few days… Thanks for listening; I am so glad we can be here for each other. Lots of baby dust; hope all goes well for you both.
