Hi everyone. Yesterday, I had an emergency surgery because I had an ectopic pregnancy. My husband and I were both devasted. However, we believe in Almighty God and we know that everything was in His hands. We are trusting him and if it is His will, He will give us another baby at the right time. Just encouraging persons who would have lost a baby, whether by ectopic pregnany or miscarriage. Keep your faith and hope alive. Everything happens for a reason and God is still in control and He cares and loves you and your family alot. Keep the faith!
How long do I have to wait to try and get pregnant again after miscarriage?
Trying to conceive after a pregnancy loss can be a time filled with mixed emotions, such as optimism, anxiety, hope, and fear. Some may be ready to TTC right away, while others may need more time to process the grief and disappointment associated with miscarriage. My patients come to me with myriad questions after a miscarriage, and I wanted to share some of the most common questions, advice, and insight with you.
How long do I have to wait to try and get pregnant again after miscarriage?
Traditionally, providers have recommended a three month waiting period after miscarriage; however, this is not scientifically supported. While several studies have investigated the optimal timing of pregnancy after miscarriage, none have shown conclusive benefits from delaying conception.
If the miscarriage was before 13 weeks, it is typically safe to try to conceive with your next cycle after giving yourself a standard two week recovery.
However, if a miscarriage occurs in the second trimester or is associated with other complications, a longer interval is sometimes recommended. When women experience a second trimester miscarriage (a miscarriage that occurs during weeks 14 to 28 of pregnancy), a longer interval between pregnancies is sometimes recommended. There are no conclusive studies demonstrating the exact interval in these cases. Always check with your OBGYN after miscarriage to discuss your plans to conceive and obtain specific recommendations.

God bless you both, I’m sorry for your loss.... my husband and I were surprised that we were expecting especially because we weren’t really trying but we were excited about it. A couple of days later II started cramping and spotting and the next morning II miscarried.....I thank you for sharing your story along with words of encouragement

God bless you guys. Thank you for sharing and I admire your faith. God’s will and timing is EVERYTHING!

On Sunday, it will have been a year that I got my surgery for our ectopic pregnancy as well. We haven’t started trying again but the husband keeps bringing it up. So I’m with you my love. Keep your head up high, and it’s always okay to cry about it❤️
I started miscarrying March 31 and bleeding lasted until April 8th. I got pregnant a week later. I hadn’t had a period yet.

I had a miscarriage at the beginning of May and it's been 4 weeks now, still no period. I thought you would have to see your first period again before you actually get pregnant again? If not does this mean I should take a test because we are TTC.

I miscarried April 23rd and am getting faint positive lines on tests right now and my husband hasn’t been home since May 7th...

I feel if you haven’t gotten your period and your that many days passed ovulation then you could possibly be pregnant if your getting a faint second line! If anything have your doctor get blood samples to check for your HCG levels. Good luck! I hope everything works out for you!
I miscarriage 25 Feb at 5 weeks. 5 days bleeding. I waited one cycle, and got pregnant in April. I’m 7 weeks now and heard the heart beat last week. We are really hoping everything goes well this time.

I understand, but you have to think about your well being. Forget what people might say because at the end of the day, you’ll be the one to suffer emotionally if you stay in that marriage. I wish you all the best❤️

@Alexis you’re very right I wish I never loved him that much, he always beg and promise to change whenever I threaten to leave him, I’m so scared of what people will say or my family, A marriage that is not even up to 5months

Agree!!!
It took us 5 years to get pregnant. That pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at 13 weeks and I wasn't prepared mentally or physically to try again right away. 2 and a half months later first time being intimate again I got pregnant. I went and got some help with a counselor to get my head straight but once I heard the heartbeat I snapped out of it and was able to be happy about it. Then got pregnant 3 months after having that baby. And now I'm pregnant with baby #3 so it definitely was the case with me being more fertile after being able to get pregnant.

Other than the regular testing for ovulation, I tried many things during the five years. They thought it could be my body under stress and pain since I have chronic pain because of autoimmune diseases so stopped all my pills, tried different diets, tried Fertilica the fertility cleanse but I cant tell you if any of it worked or maybe a combination or it was just time. So sorry to hear about your miscarriage and that I cant really help you but hope it works out for you soon!

Did u do anything thing different after trying for five years i had miscarriage this jan at 5 weeks and I trying since then with no bfp
We got pregnant with our rainbow baby before I got my next period. We thought it would take longer but I guess the rumor of being more fertile is true
Na
So sorry to hear that, I took a pregnancy test right after i finished bleeding and it was negative. I bled for about 6 days after it was a couple of weeks before my breasts started feeling sore and full so I figured i would test and it was very faint but it was there.
Br
How did you know it was a new pregnancy and not leftover hcg? I found out I was miscarrying a week ago and took a test today cause my boobs are still hurting and seem slightly enlarged and it is positive but I’m 99.9% sure it’s from what’s left even though my levels were only at 66 when last checked.
Er
Same! I just miscarriage 4 days ago and hoping to “get it back” before my next period. 🤞🏽
I got pregnant with my first last September and miscarried November 2019 at 9 weeks 4 days .. I got pregnant again in January and I’m now 19 weeks to be exact with a healthy active rainbow baby boy💙 I used Pregmate ovulation strip test and got pregnant on the very first try 💙 DONT feel discouraged ladies .. god will grant you your blessings .. just believe 🤗
An
Thank you and god BLESS you
Ah
Well it’s boy season .. literally every one is having a boy lol I wanted a girl but I’m happy with my lil man ... when are you due ?
Es
Amen I hope I’m having a boy too I will find out in three weeks
Reading a lot of these posts give me hope (: I just had my miscarriage today and I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things once I'm not bleeding anymore (:

I felt a lot of comfort talking to other people who had been through miscarriages. It’s sadly comforting that you’re not alone? Me and my partner couldn’t really talk about it for a few weeks, it’s hard because what is there to talk about? We were both hurting so much and couldn’t take away the pain, just being there without physically words is great. Just give him time!! Remember men try to be the strong one, when really deep down they honestly don’t know what to do to take away this pain. They feel helpless. Just be there for eachother and be patient! ♥️

Remember everyone grieves differently. My partner wouldn’t talk about it and honestly that hurt so much. She deserves to be spoken about! I think the most important thing is that you try communicate and let eachother grieve in your own way. Unfortunately I think the emotional side is harder for us as women.. I had this overwhelming feeling of emptiness and loneliness but had all the support in the world. It’s hard carrying your baby and physically and mentally preparing for a baby and then when you lose them, you come home with nothing. I felt so lost! But I promise you... it will get easier. Not easier as in you’ll forget as that won’t ever happen. But easier as you’ll grow and become so much stronger from this.. you will smile again.

See or feel what's actually happening inside. I tried to talk to him about it last night and all he could do was play his X-box and try to talk to me "when he could". It only frustrated me more. I feel like im "dealing" with this by myself.
I miscarried and got pregnant straight away but unfortunately miscarried again and then was advised to wait 6 months for my body to heal. My daughter was then conceived in the October and born healthy in July. Currently 36 weeks pregnant with baby number 3 with no problems and my daughter is 21 months. The onlyThing I did differently was taken 75g daily aspirin as soon as I got a positive test which won’t do you or baby any harm to take either way and took until I was 38 weeks 🥰 good luck with your rainbow baby xxx
B.
I thought you were not supposed to take asprin when you were pregnant?
Em
Yeah sorry mg, it’s called baby aspirin which ppl use when they have had clotting issues. Were you advised to have it prior? I was told don’t take it until I got a positive test 🤷♀️
Re
Do you mean mg? 75g of aspirin seems like a lot. In case someone decides to take it. I take the baby aspirin 81mg everyday trying to get pregnant
We were told we could try right away. We miscarried in the beginning of February got my first period the end of March and got pregnant that cycle. We’re due January 2021 praying everything works out this time!
