Question

Trying Again after Miscarriage

I had a miscarriage at almost 12 weeks. It was a pretty big surprise and rough since it happened days before my birthday and Christmas. Anyway, I had a D&C on the 20th and it seems that everything went well (I don't have my follow-up appt until next week but I've not had anything weird happen). I was wondering, how long did it take you to get pregnant after a miscarriage. I've had no problem getting pregnant in the past, with my son we got pregnant the first month we tried, and with this pregnancy it was the second month of trying. I am hoping to get pregnant right away, after the waiting period suggested by my doctor of course, and I'm just wondering if that's an unrealistic hope. I just don't want to be disappointed if it ends up taking months to get pregnant again. Thanks!

I had 6 miscarriages in the past and conceived again within 8 months or so. In one instance I became pregnant right away the cycle following a D&C. There was no period between the procedure and new conception. Many women conceive quickly again after a miscarriage. None of my drs recommended a specific wait time but do what your dr suggests. Best wishes and the Lord's blessings.

Just wanted to say I'm so sorry and I'm going through the same thing. Our baby died at 7 weeks on the 20th and I had a D and C on Christmas Eve. My doctor has said that we can start trying two weeks from when I had the op as long as the spotting has stopped. She said a lot of people fall pregnant within the first few months afterwards because your body is really fertile. I hope that's the case for both of us. Look after yourself.
