Question

first miscarriage, so many unanswered ?s.

This is my first miscarriage, after 5 years of trying 1 eptopic in 2013 and now this. I have so many unanswered questions. What should I expect physically/mentally? When can we try again? Does pregnancy seem more difficult after miscarrying? Sorry for all the ?s I'm just beside myself.

I am truly sorry that you are dealing with pregnancy loss. Every loss is different, at least this is/was the case for me. Different physically depending on whether miscarrying at home or having a D&C done. The emotional aspect of it all is big and it can take months to sort it all out and come to a place of peace. Many couples conceive very quickly again after a loss. Some drs recommend waiting 3 months before TTC after a miscarriage. My dr lets us try right away again. In my opinion it is a personal decision unless it is medically necessary. May be you need extra time to recover physically or need additional time to deal with your emotions. It all depends on your circumstances. I wish you the very best and hope for a quick recovery in all aspects.

Hi, im sorry for your loss. I miscarried last October and I was so broken afterwards. It took some time to heal emotionally and stop questioning "why" and "could I have done something different? ". Physically it was painful but I miscarried naturally. ..no d&c. After 5 days of bleeding my pregnancy symptoms went away. My cycle started again 28 days later. My doctor told us to wait a full cyvleu to start ttc so if we did get pregnant then it would be eaier to calculate how far along and a due date. Physically your body is always trying to grt pregnant so unless you have been told to wait because of a medical condition then you can start whenever you like. I would work on the emotional pain first though. And dont drive yourself nuts ttc again. Ive been stressing over ttc and get so disappointed when it doesn't happen. Just let things happen naturally out of happiness and love

Thank you so much for your kind words and words of encouragement. I find myself obsessing already. My husband has no children and I feel extremely quilty and an struggling with feeling less then. We tried with specialist and did 4 IUI after eptopic, it just became to much. Now this. Im hoping to relax and let things happen....much easier said then done

I am so sorry for your loss. Every loss is different depending on when it was discovered. I had a miscarriage in January after a positive hpt in November so about 9 weeks along but I had a blighted ovum. I personally didn't want a natural miscarriage because I just wanted it done and over with and the doctor said if I waited for it to happen naturally it could cause infection. I opted for the Misoprostol pill but that didn't remove all of the product so I ended up with a D&C anyways so now I think I should have just had the D&C in the first place because it just delayed everything. My doctor told me to wait until I had 2 cycles before trying again but I have heard so may different answers so it just depends on the doctor. Good luck to you!
