Miscarriage - Henderson,NV

I had a partial molar pregnancy that I miscarried so I was supposed to wait 6 months before even starting to try again. At 5 months I decided to try thinking it might take me a while. Well, I got pregnant that first month! I had a perfectly healthy little boy on New Year's Day. It takes time to heal. DOn't let anyone make you feel like you should be over it any sooner than your ready.

Hi L.: So sorry for your loss. I had two early miscarriages at around 5-6 weeks. I didn't need a D & C and didn't wait to get pregnant again. I was pregnant within 1-2 months after miscarryingeach time. I've heard the earlier the miscarriage the less time you need to wait. I had healthy full-term pregnancies and beautiful babies with those pregnancies. Ask your doctor or midwife, however. God bless you and may you sense his healing presence.

I am probably not a great example... I had a miscarriage (a blighted ovum) at exactly 12 weeks. I got pregnant (by accident!) eight weeks later. But I think it's different for everyone, I don't think everyone would ovulate right away like that, and it probably depends on the reason for the misscariage.

I'm very sorry for your loss. It totally sucks to loose a baby. I had a missed miscarriage at 11 weeks, resulting in a D&C. My OBGYN told me to wait three months. She said I needed that long for my uterus to rebuild itself. I got pregnant exactly three months later. That said, I've had friends who were told they could try immediately (no D&C) and were pregnant within two months with the help of a fertility monitor.

Have fun trying for that baby!

Hi L.,
Sorry for your loss. I know that is a hard thing to get through! I lost my first pregnancy at 11 weeks, had a D & C, once I recovered from that, I was preganant in 3 months. When we were ready for the second baby, I lost that one at 4-1/2 months. The loss was extremely hard and I had to be induced to deliver a baby boy. At three months again, without any planning, I was pregnant, and this past November I had a healthy boy. Give yourself time to heal, physically, mentally and emotionally. It is hard not to be a nervous wreck for the next nine months, once you have lossed a pregnancy. I hope you get through this and expect to feel grief and sadness.

Hi L., first of all I am so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I miscarried with my first pregnancy at 7 weeks and it was devistating. My doctor advised me to wait 2 months before trying again but we got pregnant the second month after and now have my 7 month old baby boy, so it didn't take us long at all. Just make sure you feel physically ready and have your doctor's ok, and also that you feel emotionally ready. Good luck to you :)

Hi L.~

I am truely sorry for your loss. I know first hand that this can be a tough time for you and your family. There is a ton of light at the end of this tunnel though!

I too had a misscarriage (Mother's Day 07'), and I was just a little further than you were. Mine was classified as a "spontaneous misscarriage", just something there that wasn't right. I actually fully misscarried on on the ultrasound table at the ER.
My doctor gave me the green light to go ahead and try again. He advised me to wait one period, and then after that period to try again. In mid June 07 we conceived again, and on March 11th of 08 my little girl was born!

Misscarriages can be trying and heart-wrenching. Just know that they happen for a reason. Something about that pregancy wasn't right, and your body knew what to do by itself. It is truly amazing.

If your doctor gives you the green light, then I say jump back on that wagon and try again!
Many Blessings~

I miscarried my first baby, but it was "missed" so I had to have a D&C. The doctor told me to wait 4 weeks before any "activity." I went through one complete cycle following the D&C, I conceived on the second cycle and he is now a perfectly healthy, wonderful 3 year old boy (so I think he was conceived about 45 days or so after the D&C). He also has a perfectly healthy, wonderful 2 year old brother. That one miscarriage had me in complete fear that I could never carry a healthy baby to term, but I did, twice, both were completely normal, healthy, uneventful pregnancies and I delivered both babies at home with a midwife.
