Are you more likely to miscarry again if you get pregnant right after a miscarraige?

Question

I had a miscarriage at 9 wks in 11/06 & just miscarried again last wk at 4 1/2 wks. We waited one period after our miscarriage to try again, and then we got pregnant on our first attempt. Since we miscarried again I'm just wondering if I my uterus wasn't strong enough and if I should have waited longer to try again. The doctor told me to wait one period, but I hear different things from so many doctors. Who do I believe?!!!

Answer 1

I miscarried in July 05 at about 5 weeks and found out I was pregnant again in September 05 and found out I had a blighted ovum at 7weeks...I had just about given up hope when I found out in Nov.05 I was pregnant again....I now have a healthy baby boy who is 6 1/2 months old!!...Listen to what your doctors tell you and if you want to wait a little longer just to be sure, then go ahead and wait...Good Luck to you!!

Answer 2

The first time I got pregnant I miscarried at 8 weeks. My doc said to wait a period or until I was emotionally ready. I decided to wait even longer. I wanted it to actually stick this time and figured it made more sense to wait a few months. I also did things like take Vitex (chaste tree berry) and went for acupuncture/ massage to tone and prepare my uterus. I don't know if I needed that but the next time we tried we got pregnant right away and I'm due any day now! Oh yeah, I also put Natural Progesterone cream on my belly every day after I figured I ovulated since I heard it can prevent miscarriage. Did that for 4 weeks. Good luck. Sounds to me like you'll be fine next time.

Answer 3

I miscarried twice within a yesr. The second time i got pregnant again right after so soon they really do not know exactly when i concieved because i did not get my period. I am now 6 months pregnant with a very heaktyh baby boy. My ob said that after each miscarege your chance for another goes up. He also said there are many tests they can do to try to fgure out why you cannot carry a baby.You may want to talk to your ob about getting some tests done.. good luck

Answer 4

No, your uterus would have been fine. One thing I have heard that made alot of sense was to wait the same amount of time as you were pg - so if you were 6 weeks along, wait 6 weeks. But I have also heard that you have a slightly better chance of conceiving and keeping a baby right after a m/c because you have an added boost of progesterone in your system that will help the pg. I am sorry for your losses and have been there myself. I've had 3 m/c and waited only one cycle after my 3rd m/c, got pg and now am listening to my 4-month old on my baby monitor, so it obviously wasn't too soon. Good luck to you!

Answer 5

Just so you know, up to 25% of pregnancies will end in miscarriage. You should have your doctor do a complete female exam on you focusing on your uterus and cervix BEFORE you attempt to conceive again. My mother's friend had 5 children and she miscarried one time before each normal pregnancy. Just b/c you have had 2 miscarriages does not mean you can't have kids.

Answer 6

Since you have had 2 miscarriages within the past 3 months, why not wait until your body is strong again. My doctor told me to wait at least 3 months.

Answer 7

My doctor told me to wait one period before trying.He mentioned if i had jhad a d and c i should wait longer. But he did say earlier we try the more chance of miscarriage their is. Your right it could of happened because it was not ready. Miscarriage puts your body through a lot. But dont blaime yourself because it could of happened for any reason.

Try and wait 3-6 months before trying again. Good Luck

Answer 8

You are supposed to wait 3 months before trying again. Yes, pregnancy too soon has a higher chance of miscarriage.

Answer 9

i dont think of any subject could be incorrect with the infant if to procure pregnant good after (a similar befell with me, i miscarried, and by no skill have been given my era lower back, just some implantation bleeding, reason i concieved my son..) i think of the reason the physician needs you to attend is by technique of the fact emotionally, and somewhat bodily you like time to heal. **my son that i concieved after miscarrying is a happy wholesome 10 month previous now.

Answer 10

I was told the same thing Hun when I was TTC and that was through a infertility center. Although if you are having excessive ones you should REALLY get a blood check done for blood clots because that was my problem on carrying my babies. BEST WISHES Keep your head up it will happen for you as well.
