I miscarried in December I was ment to be 11weeks but baby stopped at 7weeks. I was wondering how long after can I get pregnant cause me and my boyfriend want another baby. We have already got one healthy little boy and we want another little one but scared i will gave another miscarriage if its too soon. How long after a miscarriage does your period start
i miscarried in 2009 towards three months, i again miscarried last year at three months. my gayno took something from womb and send it to the lab for some tests, they find nothing wrong, iam not sure why it has to happen to me. Iam six weeks iam scared, praying and hoping that this one must live for me, iam now 39 and also that is a problem, but i really need this baby, i have only one son he is 20 now
this month has been strange for me i have a 32 day cycle. And its regular but i ovulated then after ovulation i had clear egg whites cervical mucus and prego symptoms to go with it then i took a hpt faint positive the noticed brown spotting 4 days before due period that i assumed turned into a period or early misscaragr because it was heavy andclotting that lasted 3 days not normal for my period now im light spotting red and brown blood ugh... can anybody shed light??
hi there...I have experienced two miscarriages in a row now. One in Dec 2011 when i miscarried at 7 weeks. Next time we tried in July 2012...everything was going well, we also heard the heartbeat at 12 weeks ultrasound though the doctor said since the amniotic fluid around the baby is low, the pregnancy might not sustain.After 2 weeks, had another ultrasound just to find that the baby does not have a heartbeat and stopped growing at 10.5 weeks. Devastated and dont know what to do next??? :(
Hi, I have read some of your stories and though sad, I was relieved to know that I am not alone. I recently had a still birth and it has been devastating for my family and I. It was my first daughter. I was 35 weeks pregnant, visiting my gyn often and also going to Ante-natal clinic. One morning I woke up and did not have any movements after breakfast, when I went to the A&E they could not find no heartbeat. I was at my gyn just the day before, so you could imagine what I was going through. Throughout the pregnancy, I had no problems, just the usual preg symptoms. They did an autopsy when the baby was born but could give no reason for the death, just said that it was unexplained. It has been 3 months now and we are still trying to come to terms with the death of our baby girl. I do feel for all of you who experienced a still birth or even a miscarriage, the pain is the same but may be a little worst for a still birth. I know we need to work together to get over it but forums like these have been helping me out alot, so thanks guys for sharing your experience on this site. Good luck to all of you who will be trying again. ( I intend to!!!)
