My name is katie and my husband and I lost our baby on June 26,2008. I was 11 wks pregnant the heartbeat had been strong 4 wks earlier( my dr determined the baby was a little girl we named her Grace). The hardest thing I hope to ever have to hear is the dr say I'm sorry Katie but there dosen't seem to be a heartbeat. It has been 41/2 wks since my d&c and I long to be pregnant and have a healthy baby. We haven't started to try again yet but I am very eager to start. The dr released me to have sex again last wk, he said my pelvic exam looked perfect and my body is healing well. emotionally I am so heartbroken but I cry a little less everyday. I feel that the new pregnancy (when it comes) will bring comfort,joy,excitement,and a lot of fear: fear of another loss. I just want to do everything right when I got pregnant I ate really healthy-I am still continuing with the healthy diet and the dr has kept me on prenatal vitamins. My question is have any of you gotton pregnant right after a m/c and d&c and had a good strong pregnancy? Also when did you get your period back afterwards(the d&c)( I had 2 wks of bleeding after the surgery)still no reg. cycle? thank Katie

I'm so sorry for your recent loss. I would expect AF pretty soon. If the dr gives you the OK, you can start ttc again after that. I had a successful pg after just 1 cycle after my 1st m/c. Travis was 10 lb when he was born.
Good luck!

I'm so sorry for your loss! I know what you are going through because I have been there several times myself but had 2 full term pregnancies after having several miscarriages. After my last miscarriage I waited 2 cycles and got pregnant right away. Give yourself a cycle or 2 and you should be fine. I would expect your AF very soon!

Katie, I'm so sorry about your loss! I know that it hurts very deeply. I've been through two miscarriages myself, and I know how devastated and helpless you feel right now. Just know that one miscarriage (or even two) does not mean that you are at a higher risk for another miscarriage. I conceived right away after my second miscarriage. There was no period in between - just the miscarriage bleeding. I had a wonderful pregnancy with no complications, and no complications during my labor and delivery. That son is now 2 years old. He also has a new brother who is almost 9 weeks old. Yes, there is hope. As soon as you feel emotionally ready to try again - Go for it!
P.S. Also know that it's not your fault that you miscarried. You did nothing to cause it to happen, so don't blame yourself or be fearful that you'll "make a mistake again." You didn't make a mistake - miscarriages are very common and are most of the time totally out of our control.
