How long do I have to wait to try and conceive again?

Question

I already have a 7 year old daughter, but in the last year I have had a tubal pregnancy and a miscarriage at 2 1/2 months. With the miscarriage a couple of days before it happened I had an appointment and was told that everything was o.k. but then i started bleeding heavily and was informed by and ER doctor that i was infact having a miscarriage. That was back in August. Me and my husband are both 27 years of age and both have 7 year old girls seperatley. We both think that it is time to start trying before we get any older, but i'm scared it will end badly again. So to anyone out there who has an opinion please send your advice.

Answer 1

i had a stillborn at 21 weeks. had to wait for 3 normal periods

Answer 2

Well Sweetie I think it would be safe to start trying again. I know from experience that there is nothing that will soothe the ache in your heart from a miscarriage like a healthy pregnancy. There is no reason in the world for you to worry that another pregnancy will end badly. Lightning will not strike twice in the same spot.
If you and your husband are in agreement then I see no reason why you should not start trying again.
I am assuming here that your doctor has given you the all clear as far as any problems that you might have had from the miscarriage.
Good luck with your future pregnancy.
Blessings

I was told that I had to wait at least 3 months til we started trying for another baby. It's been 5 months and I'm almost 2 months pregnant and things seem better this time around. It's hard to tell if you'll have a miscarriage or not, just take care of your body before you start trying again and hopefully you'll have a successful pregnancy. I hope you the best, good luck.

Yanni, miscarriages can be due to many reasons. You must remember that the child formation in a body is not like something that is happening in a machine. There is nothing being held together by bolts and nuts. There are no screws to be tightened. The whole thing is held together by your own muscles and other results of hormones and enzyme reactions.

Your physical activities contribute to this a lot. If you strain yourself. If you wear tight body wear. If you wear high heeled shoes - all have an affect on it

Your mental condition also matters a lot. If you are depressed. If you get angry often etc affects the enzymes in your body.

The food also contributes - I know unripe pineapples affect pregnancy.

I know of a lady who spent the last 6 months in bed with knees up most of the day to avoid her 3rd miscarriage - and she succeeded.

Good Luck

As long as you're emotionally ready, I would say go for it since you both want another child!!! You're just concerned about another miscarriage and that's normal for women who have had a miscarriage!! It's obvious that you're a high risk so I would find a doctor that deals with high risk pregnancies! It's okay to go ahead and get familiar with the doctor before conceiving so that the doctor can get to know you and possibly run some tests to make sure everything is okay! Go ahead and start taking your prenatal vitamins and as soon as you find out or think that you're pregnant, report to your doctor immediately so that they can decrease the chances of anything going wrong!! Good Luck

Answer 6

So long as you have no lingering medical issues, I'd think you could feasibly conceive any time you want to. There's always the chance a miscarriage will occur. Many women have them at some point and go on to have more children. A miscarriage means there was something wrong with the baby--something that made it unable to survive. One miscarriage is not a reflection on your ability to have kids.

I say stop waiting. Go for it! =)

Answer 7

Most of the time it is good to let your body rest at least until your next cycle starts... this will normally be 6-8 weeks after the miscarriage. You may wish to talk to your own doctor, especially if you had issues with an ectopic pregnancy before.

Answer 8

There is no set "good" amount of time to wait to conceive again. Other posters here mention several weeks to 6 months. I had to wait a full year before I was medically cleared to conceive again.
I had to take blood tests first weekly, then every other week, then monthly, then every 3 months until my HCG levels were pre-pregnancy and stayed there.

Ask your OBY/GYN about what he/she considers an optimal time to wait, but don't get upset if it happens sooner. At 27, neither of you are too old to successfully have more children. I was 35 when I had my youngest and fourth son, after three previous healthy childbirths and my first miscarried pregnancy.

Answer 9

relies upon on how old you're. Your fertility starts to say no at 30, so once you're 28 and over, i might want to flow ahead an make the appointment. (And get insistent in the journey that they conflict to blow you off.) yet once you're on your mid-Nineteen Twenties and function a historic previous of wide-spread sessions (round 26-32 days), i might want to provide it a pair extra months. On favourite, it takes a (fertile) couple 9 months to conceive. also, i might want to google 'basal body temperature' to study about pinpointing ovulation -- takes a thermometer and about 2 minutes an afternoon and may want to help you paintings out the perfect time to have sex. And in case your temp doesn't upward push, you've more advantageous perception to even if you're ovulating. ultimately, sex popular lowers sperm count number -- the fertility medical doctors advise another day-- so i does no longer try the 'have sex popular for 3 months' idea until eventually you're playing it. (and don't be disturbed if it starts to sense like paintings. planned sex with a purpose in recommendations is mostly a lot less relaxing than inspired spontaneous sex. it's going to be relaxing back quickly . . .)

Answer 10

I'd give it six months from the last one and then try again. This should give your body time to fully recover from the experience.

Make sure you eat right, do some light to moderate excercise, and take your vitamins. Try anything to minimize the chance of another miscarriage.

Answer 11

There is no amount of time really - I would start trying again now - unfortunately your not going to know how the next pregnancy will turn out but waiting isnt going to change anything - good luck and heaps of baby dust your way :)
