Question

i miscarried at 7 weeks and had a D&C, i started trying right away say 4days later after i stopped bleeding. and i just got my period at the end of the month thats usually when i get it...what are my chances i want to concieve right away? im taking my vitamins and relaxing trying not to stress i want to become pregnant right away!

Answer 1

3 months is best. That is what I was told when my daughter was stillborn at 5 months. They say that long so your body has a chance to heal. I got pregnant again exactly TWO MONTHS to the day of my daughters death and now I have a happy and healthy 2 1/2 year old daughter that is driving me crazy as we speak. Take your time I wish you the best. I know what it is like to want another baby really soon after one passes. Just do what is best to make sure that this baby stays healthy. I wish you much luck.

Answer 2

HCG Levels
Most women can expect their levels to return to a non-pregnant range about 4 - 6 weeks after a pregnancy loss has occurred. This can differentiate by how the loss occurred (spontaneous miscarriage, D&C procedure, abortion, natural delivery), and how high the levels were at the time of the loss.
Health care providers usually will continue to test HCG levels after a pregnancy loss to ensure they return back to 5.0.

tiredness
It is normal to feel emotionally and physically drained following a miscarriage. If possible take a few days off work, and if you can't, make sure you get to bed early, plan rests where possible and postpone anything that isn't urgent.
Make yourself your first priority.

bleeding
If your miscarriage is complete, you can expect your bleeding to taper off rapidly, i.e. over the next week it should get lighter and lighter and stop. All bleeding and spotting should have stopped by seven days. If it persists or is heavier than a normal period, this indicates something is wrong, see your doctor. While you are still bleeding it is important that you shower, not bath, and that you do not swim in public pools because of the risk of contracting an infection.

pain
When the miscarriage is complete, or after a D&C all pain should cease. Again, see your doctor if you have continuing pain.

temperature
Temperature indicates infection which can result in infertility. If you have one see your doctor urgently. You will be treated with antibiotics and possibly a D&C (or repeat D&C).

discharge
If you are having an offensive discharge this could also indicate infection so get checked out.

lactation
This is normal if the pregnancy has lasted longer than 12 weeks and will stop by itself.

menstrual cycle
Ovulation can occur 14 days after a miscarriage with the next period 28 days after the miscarriage, but there is great personal variation. It may take a few cycles before your regular pattern is re-established. This means that you can become pregnant 14 days after a miscarriage if you resume a normal cycle immediately, but there is a great personal variation. It can take up to 6 or 7 weeks for your next period to come if you had "natural" miscarriage (i.e. no D&C or tablets).

sex
Sexual intercourse should be avoided until bleeding has stopped to prevent the risk of infection. Even though your cervix will be closed again, sperm can travel up through it and introduce infection into the uterus, which is still healing.

contraception
If you do not wish to become pregnant immediately, you should start using contraception straight after the miscarriage. Note: The pill should be commenced at the time of the miscarriage. You will not be safe until you have taken the tablets for 14 days.

the physical symptoms of grief
Many women find they experience physical symptoms of grief as well as the emotional aspects. These vary greatly from person to person, and include:
disturbed sleep and eating patterns
unexplainable tiredness
unexpected tears
disturbing dreams and mental confusion

Be gentle and patient with yourself during this time and take comfort in knowing that these symptoms are normal.


Good luck

Answer 3

You should give your body a chance to heal before trying again. If your body doesnt heal properly it could cause you to miscarry again. I've had three miscarriages. My first one was in Sept2004 I was 9wks. It took me a whole year before I got pregnant again, I wanted to make sure my body was properly healed and capable this time. I had another miscarriage with the second one as well, I was only 5wks. The next time I got pregnant was a month later, I didnt plan that one. I had a miscarriage at 6wks that time. Now I'm pregnant again and I've had a few complications in the beginning but everything is starting to get better. I'm 12wks pregnant. Somethings you cant rush you need to give it time and it will happen for you. You could also go to the doctor and talk to them about it. You can even buy an ovulation test to see when you will be ovulating. I hope everything works out for you. GOOD LUCK.
