Answer 1

I'm very sorry for your lost. I think it would be best to go and talk to your doctor before you attempt to conceive again. There could be a underlying condition that is causing you to miscarry and I would hate for you to have to experience that again. So before you attempt consult you doc to make sure that your body is okay, and best wishes for you and your family.

Miscarriage Causes

Miscarriage is caused by the separation of the fetus and placenta from the uterine wall. Although the actual cause of the miscarriage is frequently unclear, the most common reasons include the following:

* An abnormal fetus causes almost all miscarriages during the first three months of pregnancy (first trimester). Problems in the genes are responsible for an abnormal fetus and are found in more than half of miscarried fetuses. The risk of defective genes increases with the woman's age, especially over if she is older than 35 years.

* Miscarriage during the fourth through sixth months of pregnancy (second trimester) is usually related to an abnormality in the mother rather than in the fetus.

o Chronic illnesses, including diabetes, severe high blood pressure, kidney disease, lupus, and underactive or overactive thyroid gland, are frequent causes of a miscarriage. Prenatal care is important because it screens for some of these diseases.

o Acute infections, including German measles, CMV (cytomegalovirus), mycoplasma ("walking" pneumonia) and other unusual germs, and severe emotional shock, can also cause miscarriage.

o Diseases and abnormalities of the internal female organs can also cause miscarriage. Some examples are an abnormal womb, fibroids, poor muscle tone in the mouth of the womb, abnormal growth of the placenta (also called the afterbirth), and multiple gestations that place a stress on your system.

o Other factors, especially certain drugs, including caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, and cocaine, may be related to miscarriage.

Answer 3

Give your body at least 3 normal cycles to recover. Emotionally, give yourself as much time as you need.

I have had many miscarriages...several in the second trimester. No one has ever been able to tell me why even though I've been to 3 specialists. It's very difficult to cope with not getting answers. I would've preferred to have been told that I'd never be able to have another baby than just "hmmmm, don't know, good luck." So frustrating!

Before you get pregnant again, be sure that you are off any harmful medications and are at a healthy weight (if anything happens, you will know that you were doing everything you could for your baby). The sad truth is that it could happen again and if it does I'd recommend seeing another doc (a specialist even if you've seen one).

Good luck.

Answer 4

Let me first say I'm sooo sorry for your losses. This is a frustrating time I'm sure. As for your question...

A woman is ready for pregnancy again after a miscarriage once the normal cycle returns. However, it is hard to predict when the next menstrual period will return after a miscarriage. Following uncomplicated miscarriage, most women who had regular cycles will have a period within four to six weeks following the completion of the miscarriage.

During pregnancy, your body produces a hormone called hCG, which suppress the pituitary gland's production of other hormones that normally stimulate ovulation. The hCG level drops after the pregnancy tissue is removed during miscarriage. It must drop to zero before your cycles resume. Although the length of time it takes for this to occur depends predominantly on the value of hCG present before the miscarriage, hCG suppression of the pituitary gland usually subsides within two weeks.

If you had a spontaneous miscarriage without any prolonged bleeding, you will ovulate within two to four weeks after the miscarriage. Most miscarriages are complete, and if you did not have any infection symptoms (fever, discharge, excessive bleeding) after your pregnancy loss, it should not affect your attempts at becoming pregnant at all.

The return of your normal cycles, and hence your chances of pregnancy, depend a lot on how far along you were when the miscarriage took place. In addition, you might want to keep track of any instrumentation, such as curettage, that you might have been exposed to or if there were any retained products after the miscarriage. Rarely, a small amount of placental tissue is left behind at the time of miscarriage. In this case, a woman may experience persistent bleeding along with a delay in the fall of hCG levels and the return to normal cycles.

So far as prevention unfortuantely miscarriages happen without any known cause, if your doctors cant explain why this happened then chances are no one else can either.

Answer 5

So sorry for your loss. Get a check up in a few more weeks and talk to your doc about possible reasons this could happen (I have a bicornate uterus-so it is heart shaped not round, that can lead to miscarriages-many woman never know they have this complication until multiple miscarriages occur since it isn't easy to see the issue on ultrasound while preg, but ultrasound when not preg and it is simple to see). Have the doctor work with you before trying again in case there is a medical reason. Best wishes for you at this tough time.

Answer 6

You might consider asking your doctor to send you to a genetic counselor. You or your husband may have an obscure chromosomal abnormality. If you are unfortunate enough to have another miscarriage, you should definitely try to get chromosomal analysis on the fetus.

Do you have any other health issues such as diabetes, lupus, high blood pressure, and other conditions which may lead to miscarriage?

As far as getting pregnant again soon, get your OB's advice. Personally I would wait at least half a year. That's just my feeling, not evidence-based science.

Many women in your shoes eventually have one or more healthy children. Keep you hopes up and good luck.

Answer 7

Are you having genetic testing done? Keep in mind you are just NOW entering high risk (after your third). Miscarriages happen- they are terribly unfortunate and a very difficult thing to go through.

Maybe you should look into getting the book "empty cradle, broken heart- surviving the death of your baby" it is for people who experienced miscarriage or infant mortality.

keep on prenatals, watch your diet, no smoking, lose any extra pounds, try to de-stress and have your doctors monitor you closely. Seek a second or third opinion- there is nothing wrong with that!

Answer 8

You should wait a while so your body can get back to normal.after a misscarge things can screaw up your body sorry to say.Sorry about your lost.The doc told my sister to wait a year after she lost her child.she was 5 months tho.You should ask your doc about when is the best time to start trying to have a nother child.They will tell you what you need to no and plus some great advice.

Answer 9

I'm very sorry for your loss. I also had 3 miscarriages but after my third one i got pregnant again 3 months later and now have a great 3 year old son and i am also due again in 2 weeks. i really thought i wasn't going to have kids but i just thought positive and now i will have two.

Answer 10

I had lost mine at 9 weeks and observed mine! It strengthen into the WORST adventure ever! I felt a brilliant blob element come out of me as i strengthen into bleeding in the washing room and that i wiped myself with lavatory paper, and there strengthen into the fetus. i could on no account EVER desire to circulate via that lower back! So i'm specific you have considered the infant, yet be chuffed you probably did not.
