Hello. I had a missed miscarraige to died at 11 weeks and found out at 12 week scan i had D&C on 24th Oct and due on next week but think i have come on yeatesterday. I had light bleeding everyday. I am going to try again. Do not worry. Think positive and hope next time we will get our beautiful baby. I feel so angry and ask why but i am focusing on the future now. Just want to be pregnant again. God gave us the wrong baby so had to take it back but he will send us the perfect one next time. Stay strong and dont be scared. It is a devastating thing to go thrpugh. Xx

Do not be scared! If you are scared then I would wait for a few more weeks or months or however long it might take you to feel ready to try again. I miscarried at 7 weeks & found out 4 months later I was pregnant again & I was only 3 weeks & scared too death but everything turned out just fine. Just take a deep breathe.

Dont be scared of trying again. Just go for it and nature will take its course. I had a miscarriage and i thought that i would never try again after because it was such an awful experience, but then i got something even better, twins! Dont be afraid, after all whats in the past should stay in the past and not hold you back !

Good luck :)

A woman is ready for childbearing 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.

What can you do?

Most doctors recommend that you take your basal body temperature or do cervical mucus monitoring to find out your most fertile period of ovulation. If your periods have been fairly regular, you have been having regular unprotected intercourse and are not yet pregnant, then you must consult your doctor since in most cases, about 80 percent, couples having regular intercourse without birth control should conceive within a year.

You can seek help from an infertility specialist right away if you are contemplating getting pregnant. They can start you on a plan of observing cervical mucus, taking basal body temperatures and inducing ovulation if you are not ovulating on your own.

If you have had miscarriages before, it is important that you and your infertility expert try to determine the cause before you attempt to get pregnant again. Many women are discouraged after a miscarriage and rush to try again, without taking the necessary steps to avoid another miscarriage. Don’t try this in a hurry and suffer another pregnancy loss.
