Hi Semi-sweet! sorry about your miscariage. When I had my D&C when I was 10 weeks pregnant, it was physically easy. There was no pain afterwards or bleeding. I didn't get my next AF till almost 2 months later. I did try to get pregnant again as soon as I was allowed to, but had no luck. It took us 10 months....but it was well worth the wait. I am 31 weeks and conting. I wish you all the best of luck!! It will happen again in due time!

Hi ladies, I am scheduled to have a d&c on thursday. I should be 8wks according to my lmp but at my u/s appt on monday i was only measuring 5wks. I am scared and would like some insight on what to expect during and after the procedure. In addition, have any of you concieved right away after a d&c and did you have a sucessful pregnancy?

Hi Everyone I just wanted to let you guys know my experience so that those of you who have not made any decisions about what to do when you find out about a loss of ap pregnancy. I found out that my baby didnt have a heart beat at 7.5 weeks and a week later made the choice to take Mesaproxyl to induce a miscarriage. After 24 hours of pain followed with bleeding for 4 weeks with 2 visits to the Emergency Room, they did the millionth US and found that there was still a piece that didnt come out. I finally had a D and C and am now waiting for the 2 week period of no BDing until my DH can finally get some ( and me too!!!!) Finally having the D and C has given me the closure that I need to start getting better. For those of you who are afraid of surgery like I was I would really opt for the D and C and not the mesaproxyl. The latter brings physical and emotional pain that is beyond words. Given this, i now have some questions.Like the rest of you I really really want a child and dont know about the pros and cons of trying too soon. Ive read that you can be very fertile right after a MC. Is this true? but also are you more likely to have another MC if we do it too soon?

Hi claire, just take things slowly and go to the hospital or your local GP. I have only ever had one m/c last year and I know it is very scary. Get youself looked at asap and let us all know how you got on. Please take care Wendy Woo

hello ladies, Im sorry but I felt I had to message this forum because Im so upset right now. I would have been 5-6 weeks now, but last night I started spotting and had quite bad pain one sided. Then this morning I am bleeding more heavily - bright red blood and have lost a couple of clots - and still have pain. I feel so low in myself. this would have been my 4th baby and I was so excited as I hadnt long since had my coil removed (10/11/08) after it being in 3 yrs and after reading so many stories good and bad including some of women who have struggled to conceive after a coil I was really happy that it had happened quick for me. I even did 4 hpt's over the last 3 weeks (all positive)because I couldnt believe it. I have had 2 m/c in previous years and know what is happening right now... I just feel so emotional. I know I should probably think well I have 3 healthy children so I should be happy but it doesnt ease the pain.

Hey Girls! SORRY SO LONG TO BEGIN WITH... PLEASE READ!! I'm new to this section.... and have a few Q's! This is my second M/C and on my U/S at 8 weeks (11/18) the baby measured only 6 weeks and no hearbeart. There were plenty of tests and then on 11/26 I had a D&C. My OB told me I could expect my period 2-6 weeks later. I didn't have one ounze of blood after and they said that was fine, everyone is different. We were using the 'pull out method' after the D&C. On 12/30 I gushed blood (sorry TMI) for only for one day. Then there was nothing... was that my period???!? Since then we are using condoms because I am taking a trip to see my BFF out of state. I took at HPT on 1/2 just to be safe and it was negative. I took the second one yesturday, 1/9, just to be sure and negative. I have be pregnant twice before (no children though), so I feel like I know what to look for and they aren't there!!! Just wondering if anyone has had a D&C and could tell me how their first period was like...can any one give me advise or impot??

I hate to say, its possible to have a m/c at any time, but BFing won't increase your risk

so today is the final day of my projected week long due date. and I am ovulating. its weird but just that hope that I might be able to get pregnant this week is giving me an odd sort of peace. as the week has gone on I have become more and more emotional and am today ready to burst. It really happened I didn't get my baby. he was so very perfect and my body rejected him. there is no pain like that of a childless mother.

Hi Ladies, I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2009. May you all go onto have healthy pregnancies and babies as that is what you all deserve. All my love to you all Wendy Woo

sheework, I was crushed too! I wanted so desperately to get pregnant again before my daughter's due date. I believed that would bring me some comfort in all of this. But it didn't happen. For many of my friends on this site it happened quickly after a loss, and for some it just didn't. As you say, we are all different.

sheework - 1157 days ago.
roosa - You are dead on with that. I was told how easy it would be and when it didn't happen right away I was crushed all over again. It's so easy to hold on to that hope that we forget everyone is different. I would just say don't get your hopes up to much it will happen when your body is ready for it. Best wishes!

nwilliams, I'm sorry for your loss. Right now your uterus is shrinking back down and things are going back to pre-pregnancy, so I would imagine that might be what you are feeling. I M/C at 11 weeks and had a D&C and had various cramping and bleeding off and on for 3 weeks. If it's not severe pain or bleeding, it's probably OK, but if it continues, it may be worth a call to the doc just to make sure it's nothing to worry about.

roosa - 1159 days ago.
aprilmama, it is great you have been successful with a subsequent pregnancy. I agree, it is a personal decision about when to try again. I too heard that you are more fertile after a loss, but it wasn't so in my case. I started trying again after my first cycle and now it has been 8 months. I had my hopes high for the first few months because of what I had heard, and I wish I hadn't... For some it happens quickly, for some it doesn't, and having the expectations just makes everything so much harder.

hey ladies...sorry to all of you dealing with losses! especially during the holidays. I had a miscarriage on July 5th. I was 6weeks along. I only bled for 5 days and I got pregnant again July 19th. Someone had told me fertility is high after a miscarriage and so I looked for signs of fertile mucus and went for it. And now I am 23 weeks prego. So I guess when your bleeding is done, make sure you get a negative prego test which will mean your HCG levels are really low or not existant. Then look for signs of fertility. I know some people will be hesitant to get pregnant right away again, but if you feel ready, there really isnt a reason to wait. My midwife said wait three cycles, and then I told her we werent waiting and she basically shrugged her shoulders and said the waiting is basically so you can properly date the pregnancy. Then after getting pregnant two weeks after the miscarriage my midwife couldnt believe it and said I was only her second patient like that. Anyway, do what feels right.

Hi ladies. I had a miscarriage on Thanksgiving. I was 3 months pregnant, but the baby stopped developing at 2 1/2 months. I'm still getting through this but it is hard. This was my first child. The doctor said everything looked fine and he doesn't know why i miscarried. Since then I have felt pulling and straining in my lower abdomen. Does anyone know what this is?

obscurette - 1163 days ago.
hello, first I am so very sorry that you have suffered the losses of your babies. I lost my baby boy at 19 weeks and it still hurts... and I have a friend in need at the moment and have a question... a friend of mine got food poisoning and has found out that her placenta has separated.... has anyone here had this experience? and if you have is there anything she can do? or anything she should be asking her doctor? thanks

I started spotting last wed and called the dr right away. they keep saying oh its normal, but when it was still going on by fri I went in. the u/s showed my babies where only 6.5weeks and 6.3 weeks when I was suppose to be 9.3week. ya'll i dont know what to do. We have been trying for 4yrs.I just cant seem to pick myself up from this. They passed Sunday. It was so painful my husband has to take me to the hospital, they passed there and i didnt have to have a d&c. I want to try again, but I'm so scared I feel like this was my one shot, and I wanted twins so so bad, what who be the odds of getting prg again and with twins. but really at this point I'b be happy with however many I'm blessed with.For those of you who are now pregnant enjoy EVERY moment of your pregnacy from the morning sickness to the stretch marks. Stay Blessed.

Hi Ladies, I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am for all of your losses, I had 2 miscarriages, one at 12 weeks and one with twins at 8 and 1/2 weeks. And just because you have had one does not mean your prepared for another, but keep positive, the anger, guilt, and feeling of wanting to die with that baby will eventually go away, the bad thing is. that when you do get pregnant you will check for blood on the TP every time, I am 24 weeks pregnant, and still look for blood when I use the bathroom. And like the other woman said. I aprreciate every ache and pain and cherish every moment of it. I also think it make me a better mother to my 2 and 1/2 year old son, who came after the first miscarriage. Hang in there, you may get preg. right away or take you a little while like with my fourth pregnancy but it will come. And remember no matter what. IT IS NOT YOOUR FULT. Take care... if you need someone to vent or ask ??? of what I went through or if it's normal... both of mine were very different from each other. Anyways take care...

wantababy- i don't know what the pill is that has been recommended but if possible avoid d&c. I declined the d&c as I was worried about it leaving scare tissue and found the whole thing to be really intimidating and somewhat violating. I miscarried naturally with the help of some special herbal teas (chamomile, pennyroyal and hibiscus to heal) I gave myself one full cycle before trying again and thankfully we got our BFP. Just don't do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. All the best I hope things work out for you.

wantababy - First off, I'm so sorry for your loss, it's not a pleasant thing to go through. Secondly, I don't know personally what that pill makes the process like as I miscarried naturally and spontaneously, but I'd imagine it wouldn't be too bad, and if your doctor recommends it then I think you'll be fine. About the ovulating with high HCG levels, while you have high HCG levels, your body still thinks your pregnant, so my understanding of ovulating after a miscarriage is that once the HCG is out of your system then your body should somewhat carry on like it did before you were pregnant, so it's possible to ovulate very soon after a miscarriage. It's up to you mostly whether you want to start trying again straight away, but most doctors recommend either waiting 3 months, or waiting until 2 weeks after you've stopped bleeding to resume having sex so your body has time to heal. I'm here if you want to talk or vent about anything. Take care.

wantababy - 1167 days ago.
We went in for a an u/s and there was no heartbeat. I have an appointment and I was told to do the pill that makes your uterus contract rather than a D and C does anyone know anything about this? Also is it true that you can ovulate right after you miscarry and get pregnant with a HCG level still being high?

Nicole207 - So sorry to hear about your loss. I understand because I miscarried last March in my 9th week as well. Time will help make things easier. You never forget, but the emptiness, sadness, anger etc. slowly gets better. Thankfully you have a loving family to help you get through. And think of your loss in a positive way if you can. Mine showed me I could get pregnant after 4 years of trying all sorts of treatments. It's thoughts like that which allowed me to try again. I'm currently 24 weeks pregnant and I treasure and appreciate every moment of this pregnancy so much more. Write if you need to talk.
