AFTER YOUR MISCARRIAGE, HOW SOON DID YOU BECOME PREGNANT?

How long after your miscarriage did you become pregnant again?

I'm hoping and praying that after I get through this miscarriage, I will be able to get pregnant again soon. My baby would have been born June 13, 2007. When that day comes, I think it would be easier to deal with if I'm expecting again.

Also, how long did the bleeding last???

HI
I'm sorry that you have to go through this. I recently had a miscarriage in September. My baby's due date was going to be the last week in March. The major bleeding lasted 12 hours but then it didin't taper off til like a week later. It was devistating for me and my husband who planned on getting pregnant. From what I've heard (and it sounds resonable) women should wait at least a month before becoming pregnant again. Technically your body may be able to get pregnant like 2 days later. But it's better if you let your body recover from the trauma and go through a cylce to build up the lining in your uterus again to prepare for another little one. Some people say wait 3 months. Me and my husband couldn't wait that long so I'm happy to say that I'm 7 weeks pregnant again. And I'm worried. But I think it's going to be OK.

Also if you have a period then it's much easier at the doctor's office to get things done since they always want to know when you're last cylcle was.

Sorry this is Happening.

Well I had a M/C on 10/25 and a D&C on 10/26. I found out like 3 days ago that I am about 6 weeks pregnant again.

So less than a month I guess! LOL

Thanks,

Hi all.
I had a miscarriage a year ago this month. I actually was 13 weeks pregnant but the baby had stopped growing at 10 weeks 6 days. We went to the drs on dec. 27th and there was no heartbeat. It had passed a week before. We had no idea. The following day i had a D&C. When i was in recovery and was waking up, the nurse looked at me and said "A year from now you will be walking out of here with your baby in your arms". Well girls, she was right. We waited the amount of time told to wait until beginning to try again. We started trying again at the end of March (2 full periods after the period started from the miscarriage, to decrease chances of miscarrying again). And we got pregnant the weekend of Easter. I am now 34 weeks pregnant and due Jan. 17th. But the dr thinks i wont go that long. I could have the baby anywhere from Dec. 20th to Jan. 17th without going over. So it really did not take long to get pregnant again. One thing i will say is, dont put yourself on a schedule. It stresses you out and stress makes it hard to get pregnant. We put ourself on a schedule for like a week and it was too hectic. And i belong to groups on www.babycenter.com and there were girls going through the same thing. Once they stopped their scheduled "baby dancing", they got pregnant not long after. Just my little story. Hope it gives someone hope!
Oh yes and the bleeding is supposed to last at most about 2 weeks. Could be different for different people. But i was told to expect 7 days to 2 weeks. Mainly bc your body is clearing things out.

It toke my Body 1 week to get everything out. The longest week in my life. That was in early Aug. of this year and I found out last week that I'm pregnanet again. My doctor didn't want us to start to try for a month so we waited. I think march time will be easier now with a new one on the way. I hope everything works out for you.

I think it's bull crock that drs. are so use to having so many normal pregnancies they never take in consideration of women who do have trouble. I had to do research to find mine at the maternity clinic. What further angers me is that they don't ask if I want furthur testing after the DNC, and by then it's already to late to test anymore.

I got pregnant three months after my second miscarriage.

My third miscarriage, I did on my own, and it felt like a very bad period.

I'm pregnanat for the last time so we'll see. I recommened at least six months to build up a good lining in your uterus, but my neighbors hasn't seem to have any trouble conceiving immediately within three weeks after hers. True story right this mintue. It differ for every women.

My heart goes out to you, and I hope you get to hold a child soon. XXXOO!

I had I think...my tenth miscarriage the month before I got pregnant. I really stopped keeping track. I think it made to five or six weeks, but I didn't have any expectations, and I never expected to have a successful pregnancy without some sort of medical intervention. Then, I guess I just got lucky.

Hi, I know what you are going through....I had a miscarriage on Friday Dec 8, but I had a D&C performed by my Doc on Saturday, so I havent bled at all since Friday. Which is good I guess....I hoping to get Preg really soon also, I dont know exactly how long you should wait, but I'm just going to wait 1 men cycle and then start trying again!!! Good Luck to you!!!

when i found out i was pregnant again after losing my first such a short time after that is i was scared to death...(still am actually) but my doctor said that as long as you have one normal cycle before getting pregnant again everything should be fine...and i am, i'm due in july and already my baby looks better now then the last time i was pregnant. i'm still worried but i guess that's because of normal anxiety's but if my doc says i'm okay then i guess i'm good to go! good luck hon on your next and i hope everything works out for you!

Sorry to hear about your loss. I know it can be hard.
I bled until I passed the embryo, after that there was barely any bleeding and maybe lasted a couple of days.
I had my miscarriage 2 weeks before my husband deployed back in May and he was gone for 3 months. I ended up getting pregnant again 2 weeks after he got home. My first child would have been due January 15th, now I am due June 20th and so far everything is doing fine.

I waited less than a month I had a miscarriage November 9th but I was only like 4 weeks it happened about 3 days after I should of had my period,, I'm pregnant again pretty sure I conceived on th 23rd, and yeah I'm worried, but I didn't have any existing factors that caused it, my doctor isn't worried so I'm hoping everything will go okay  

I too have had my share of miscarriages and also problem conceiving. my hubby and I (well he was just my bf at the time) got pregnant one month after being together, I miscarried two weeks after I found out. It took us a whole year before we got pregnant again. I had madison on 9-14-00 six weeks later I was pregnant with baby no. 2 All we could think was how could this happen so quickly with all the trouble we had to begin with. After Wyatt I got an IUD and had that until October of this year. We got pregnant immediately and about two weeks after we found out I had a miscarriage. The Dr looked inside and told me that the baby was gone it took two more weeks for my body to finally expell all the preperations it had made and then I bled for a week. I just found out that I am pregnant again. I am hopefull that we will make it through to the end. I am not sharing the news with anyone but my hubby this time though. How long I can last without spreading the wonderful news is beyond me.

I am so sorry that you had to go through such a tramatic experience. I have also been there.
On June 6th, 2006 my fiance and I desided to go to the hospital because my breasts were tender and my period was late, also I was having some slight cramping. I didn't really expect that I was pregnant because we had been trying since January with no luck, but had them do a pregnancy test anyways. About 2 hours later the doctor came and told us that the pregnancy test had come back positive. We were so excited that we went out to eat to celebrate and then to my grandma's house. He told my grandma and uncle while I called my mom and then my dad.
On June 7th, 2006 I went to my OB/GYN.
On June 8th, 2006 We lost our baby. I was about 6 weeks along. I had started spotting earlier that day but didn't really think anything of it because my doctor said that it was relatively normal. As the day progressed the bleeding started to get slightly heavier. So we went to the hospital where they confirmed my worst nightmare.
I bled from that day on until June 15th, 2006 when I returned to the hospital yet again for my D&C. I then continued to bleed for another 9 days. Two weeks later I had a check up with my OB/GYN and he said that I had healed perfectly. He told me to buy some women's one-a-day vitamins to help my body replentish itself and that it was safe to start trying to get pregnant again that night. SO WE DID.
On September 23rd, 2006 (Our 25 month anniversery) I decided to take a at home pregnancy test. Not because I thought we might be pregnant again, but because we had one just laying around the house collecting dust so I figured, WHAT THE HELL, why not. My fiance was in the kitchen cooking breakfast and he yelled to me "So what does it say?" and I said "Well, I think we need to get another test!?!" and he was like "WHY?". I came out of the bathroom and handed him the box. He read it. Then I handed him the positive test results. We both just held each other and cried tears of joy instead of tears of pain.
I am due May 22nd, 2007........I'm 18 weeks 1 day pregnant and doing great.

My doctor said for us not do have sex for two weeks and not to try to get pregnant for three months. Um... we didn't listen to any of that advice (although I respect my doctor and believe he know what he is talking about) We just couldn't agree on a birth control method to use in the mean time, plus I had read that you are most fertile the first three months after a misscarriage... as for the other thing... well we were hurting emotionally... when I had not become pregnant the first two months I was afraid I would never get pregnant again. So I bought a box of ovulation predictors. We got preganant three months after our misscarriage. I also wanted to concieve then because that would make this baby almost exactly two years younger than our daughter (due date is May 25, her b-day May 30, our misscarriage May 20) I feel this baby will come on his due date. My best friend has a daughter that she concieved one month after her misscarriage per her doctors orders. My mother-in-law got pregnant 3 months after hers (in 1984) and my aunt waited one year (in 1989), both have healthy children. Not even doctors agree on this touchy subject, but neither do they agree when it comes to D&Cs. I read about many people on here that had them although out of 4 doctors I talked to during my misscarriage only one of them wanted me to get a D&C and she is the same doctor that barely looked at my daughter when she was 6 months old and prescribed her medicine because "kids this age with pink eye also have an ear infection"... my daughters "pink eye" (which is not why we went to the doctor) was just a clogged tear duct and I had probably eaten a lot of wheat (which she seems to be allergic to, and she would have recieved through my breast milk) and caused it to act up more... anyway the prescription for the "ear infection" just about killed her. Um.... we go to the ER the next time my doctor is out of town and that lady is the only person we can see!!! I feel there is a time and place for medicine and a time when God has to handle it by himself. Yes my daughter has had other prescriptions when needed and has had all her immunizations and even a flu shot for the whole family this year. I am not a naturapath or however that is spelled. I just don't want to over medicate or jump to "fixing" something that is not broken.
