trying again advice (what have you been told)
*post disclaimer*
I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks. My doctor told me I didn't have to wait since it was so early. I did end up waiting one cycle due to wanting to travel for my sister's wedding later this year. After that, I conceived on the next cycle. I'm so sorry for your losses, I can't imagine going through this twice in such a short span of time. ?
Another reason to wait after a d & c is that you could have uterine scarring that will be evident with an unusual cycle and pain. You would want to have a procedure to fix that before conceiving again as it could restrict growth. I was told to wait until I had a completely normal cycle.
Is your doctor going to do any early testing to see if you need progesterone suppositories or if you have any underlying issues preventing proper implantation? The fact that it happened at the same part of the pregnancy makes me wonder.
I've had one completely normal/healthy pregnancy followed by two blighted ovums that required d & c because my body wasn't expelling.
I am in the testing phase for ANA, factor IV, and all the other clotting/immunity issues. I will try again once, so I am going to be tested, take baby aspirin under doctors order and also progesterone suppositories, but if we don't manage a healthy pregnancy next time, I'm calling it. I would love another baby, but I have to consider what it is putting my dd and the family through.
I am very sorry you are going through this.
After my mc at about 6 weeks I tried next cycle but my body was too sore. Then we got pregnant after the next 2 cycles. I'm 39 weeks right now.
My doc said to wait 1 full cycle to let my body get back into its normal rhythm. But my SIL got pregnant right away after her mc.
It just depends I guess how far along you were and how your body handles it? Wishing you the best!
I was told after my missed miscarriage (misoprostol and d&c) to wait just one cycle.
I did a lot of research though and the only reason I could find was to properly date the pregnancy. I waited though just in case but there were lots of stories of healthy babies in the first cycle.
I would suggest asking the dr why they suggest that long too once they Gove you an answer.
Sorry for your loss.
I have some advice to anyone who has m/c b/c i did last year my husband and I never talk about it bc its heartbreaking. But Thank God that we are expecting our first baby girl in a few weeks. When I first find out i was pregnant again I started using progesterone 100mg capsule. Depending on your case You can keep taking them into the placenta start working. But I took them until they was gone 1 prescription I think I ran out at 10 weeks not sure. But you insert them up inside you at every night before bed. Just being me i wanted to be extremely cautious and do everything that i could to help my baby maintain and grow. Now the doctors says everything looks normal and healthy can't wait to meet our baby girl. She's a blessing And I truly Thank God for Creating her inside me. I prayy that all yall have successfully healthy pregnancies!
I have only had one loss right after I stopped birth control. I got pregnant before my next period and had a miscarriage before 5wks. I think it's because of my hormones leveling out after years of birth control. Our doctor said to wait 2 cycles but then we asked a family friend who is an OB and she said the reason they ask you to wait is so that they can track when you got pregnant. We got pregnant before My next period and I have a beautiful 3.5 yo now :) good luck!
Our loss was later and my doctor encouraged us to wait a few months for physical health reasons, but said up to a year for emotional health reasons.
I would try again when you feel ready, unless they think there is a medical cause for your losses and they want to get to the bottom of it to potentially prevent another loss (like blood clotting disorder, etc).
After my second loss I was told I could try again after one cycle. When I fell pregnant a third time I took a baby aspirin every day until 12 weeks. I carried that baby to 40+6 and now have a healthy 10 month old.
Whether or not the aspirin had anything to do with a successful pregnancy, it didn't hurt anything and it was worth a try.
Good luck Newly
After I lost my son at 4 months I was told I can try whenever I'm emotionally ready. They said wait till after my 6 week checkup. I did and got pregnant the first time we had sex. I wasn't even aware because we literally had sex one time(I knew it was possible just couldn't believe it), I was spotting, and didn't have a regular period yet. We both were shocked when I went to the hospital for an allergic reaction to nickel and was told I was pregnant and couldn't be given anything. I'm halfway through my pregnancy, baby is doing fine, and I'm on strict bedrest after I had a cerclage (stitch on the cervix). I'm on progesterone as well. Sending sticky rainbow baby dust your way!
Edit: I did not have a D&C I had a full labor baby and placenta delivered fine.
After my second miscarriage (both miscarriages at about 5 weeks+) I was told to wait three cycles because I was given methotrexate. Doctor thought I could have had an ectopic because of what my levels were doing. She told me to continue to take my prenatal and had me take one aspirin every day. We waited three cycles and got pregnant. As soon as I knew I was pregnant again, I tried to take it easy by not working out as hard and I stopped running outside. I don't know if that made a difference, but my baby stuck!:)
Do what feels right for you and your family. Prayers????
I had two in a row. My doctor recommended waiting until the 3rd before doing extensive testing, but left it up to me. She gave the same statistics as your provider and mentioned that often two in a row is just really bad luck, if you have a third it really becomes an indicator of an underlying issue. I pushed to get my thyroid levels tested again even though they had been historically "normal" (because my mother had miscarriages attributed to hypothyroidism). My levels were border-line low. This is when I learned more about how the standard range for TSH, T3, and T4 seem to be too wide for many women. Meaning you can measure in the normal range, but still have hypo or hyperthyroidism. I waited a few cycles to give my body a chance to level out my thyroid hormone levels before trying. A very small dose of Synthroid seems to have done the trick for me as my next pregnancy stuck and I now have a beautiful 13 month old and am 27 weeks with #2.
I had 2 miscarriages last year after having my ovary removed. I was told the second mc most likely happened because I got pregnant too soon after the first. I was told to wait 2 full normal cycles before trying again. I did that and successfully am holding this pregnancy at 30 weeks. Baby dust to you Iron!!!!
I only miscarried once but I did not wait at all. I miscarried 4th of July 2016 and was pregnant again probably by the 10th of July because my son was born in April 2016. I never even got my period again in between. 7 weeks after the miscarriage went to dr and was 7 weeks prego with a healthy baby. I miscarried at 8 weeks.
I had two natural miscarriages. I think I was told to wait 1-3 cycles. It didn't matter for me, since I had irregular cycles and it took well over a year to get pregnant each time.
I have a friend who got pregnant 2 weeks after her miscarriage. She carried full term successfully. Although I don't think she intended to get pregnant that quickly.
I had a loss back in February 2014, I was 9 weeks and had a D and C. I was pregnant again by April. Gave birth to a healthy baby in January 2015. Then had a loss again in December of 2015 Naturally. My dr stated that if I have 3 in a row they would do testing to figure out why.
I hope your Dr can get you some answers. And sorry for your losses.
I had a miscarriage and then a molar pregnancy immediately after. My OB told me it was very important to wait a year (because of the molar pregnancy) to try again, 6-9 months at the VERY least. I began trying immediately after the D&C, and got pregnant right away, without ever having a period after the D&C. I'm now almost 36 weeks pregnant with a healthy boy.
I'm not recommending going against medical advice if your doctor advises you to wait. It was the right thing for me to do to help heal emotionally and I don't regret going against the medical advise I was given.
The same thing that happened to you this last time happened to me. They told me it was a chemical pregnancy and that's why my numbers dropped so fast. I got pregnant after my period in mid November and then in December I started to bleed. They told me that I could start after a cycle. I quit bleeding right before Christmas and had my period January 12th. That next ovulation I was pregnant, I am due in october. I suggest waiting one cycle just so you get everything out first.
I was told to wait at least one full cycle before trying again. If I had had to have a dnc they recommend waiting six months to be sure everything was healed.
Just as importantly give yourself a chance to mourn your losses and begin to heal emotionally also.
I'm very sorry for your losses
After my second miscarriage I was told to wait 3 cycles to try again. We didn't really listen after my first cycle and just had unprotected sex but I actually didn't get pregnant until after the third so that kind of worked out I guess. I was never really given statistics on miscarriage as my second one was only recorded as my first. My first miscarriage was a chemical one that ended as quickly as it started. Had I not tested when I did I would have no idea I was pregnant and I didn't go to the dr since it was never confirmed there. I think I would at least wait one cycle to allow your body to reset and then try again but obviously you should listen to your doctor. I'm glad you have such a positive outlook after having such heartbreak. I'm sending you lots of sticky rainbow baby dust!
I have no advice just wanted to send hugs your way. ? praying for you
