pregnancy after miscarriage?

amberstevens7906

Ok so i know this dont have much to do with this site but i have been pregnant three times. My first child i conceived within four months of trying but that was because my daughters dad wasnt very fertile.the docs even told him he couldnt have kids. But then after i had her i got pregnant by my current husband a few years later. I got pregnant the first month i tried. Then i had my son and went on dieting. I got down to 138 and still wasnt thin so i got dicouraged and decided to give it up and have another baby. I got pregnant the same month again then 9 weeks later my heart was crushed because i miscarried. I went from like 144- 162 in those 9 weeks. I am currently 157 from 270 hoping the dieting will give me a miracle because its been 8 months and i still havent conceived again.has anyone else ever had issues getting pregnant after a miscarriage or do u think by continueing to diet it will help me conceive?

If you have the chance to speak with a medical doctor, that would be the better way to go . Opinions are okay for most things, but a medical doctor will answer questions to Your metabolism, to your health, to your age, to your history. I think you are living life fully, and glad you are seeking information. :flowerforyou:

I think its very important that you seek the advice of a doctor about your questions. I'm also havin trouble understanding you.

Typically working on weight loss won't help you concieve. Eating healthy and exercising moderately might. But again, you should really talk to a doctor and voice your concerns there.

First of all, let me tell you how sorry I am that you have suffered a miscarriage. I too miscarried in my first trimester...suprisingly, I became pregnant the following month with a healthy, baby girl (she is now 7)! I wish you the best of luck!!!

Well my doctors keep saying they cant do much until its been a year of trying.i just hope the miscarriage didnt lead me to infertility

Dont let it get you down I know it can break your heart. Have you spoken to the Doctor or have they done a test (fetal biopsy, sorry for the term) to determine why you miscarry?

Do you have PCOS? The weight loss will help, but continue to get the right nutrition. You want to take your prenatals if you are actively trying, make sure you get plenty of fat in your diet (fat helps develope sex hormones) lots of fish or fish oil, nuts, canola oil, olive oil, flaxseed, seeds like sunflower, Vitamin D either through sunshine, dairy, or supplements, plenty of protein, and of course fruits and vegetables.

And spiritually, I know this is easier said then done, take it out of your hands. Stop thinking about pregnancy. When you get your period dont let it ruin you. Sometimes as I'm sure you know when you let go it happens.

Hoping for a positive for you.

sometimes these things just take time. there are so many variables that we can't even understand. I miscarried @10 weeks in July of 1999 and then again at 6 weeks in June of 2000. Then my daughter was born in Dec. 2001. That was a long 2 1/2 years. Keep taking care of yourself, you won't regret the outcome.

Sorry for ur losses. But did u try conceiving inbetween that time?or did it just take awhile to conceive again

Miscarriage normally wouldn't lead to infertility unless you had other complications. I've had 6 miscarriages and they never affected my ability to get pregnant again. Sometimes it just takes a while to conceive, which may have nothing to do with the fact that you had a miscarriage. I wish you all the best and hope you get pregnant soon!

Your body may just need a bit longer to recuperate. Stress and grief can lower your chances of becoming pregnant, so give yourself time. Have your doctors talked with you about taking supplements and multivitamins? I specialize in fertility issues and there are a number of supplements that are readily available, affordable, safe, and they will help promote fertility. A good quality prenatal vitamin combined wit D3, B complex, folic acid, and vitamin E can work wonders even for women who have experienced multiple miscarriages. Red Clover tea is also a wonderful fertility promoter if you drink two cups per day. Don't rush or be too hard on yourself. You will heal, and your pregnancy will happen when your body is ready.

When I was 18 I got pregnant and miscarried at 10.5 weeks. It took 14 months to conceive again. I was almost 20 at that time, bit gave birth to a healthy baby boy who is 19. I had another loss on April 30th, 2008 and didn't get pregnant again until December that same year. My youngest son will be 4 next month. I just had my 4th confirmed loss on July 7th and I am not sure when we will be TTC again, because my thyroid is messed up and I want to get to a healthier weight. It is scary to think about waiting as I am going to be 40 in late September, but I'm hoping I still have time.

GL to you!

I am sorry for your losses. I know your question was about diet, but after my miscarriage I joined the getting pregnant board on Baby Center and found a lot of support and answers. It took me 5 months before I got pregnant again and now I have an 8 month old baby.

I have had 3 miscarriages. It took 4 months after my first 1 year after the second and It took me 2 years to get pregnant again after my 3rd one, and I finally had a healthy baby girl! Its possible! Because Im high risk and have multiple reasons I was miscarrying, but I still had a baby!

Miscarriage definitely does not cause infertility. I had 5 miscarriages between child #1 and child #2. I know most doctors won't do any testing before it's been one year of trying to conceive. Have you visited fertility friend website? There is tons of info on that site for trying to conceive. Good luck!

I am so sorry for your loss...I know how devastating it is. After having 2 healthy pregnancies, I miscarried at 10 weeks in 2006. It was an abnormal miscarriage in the sense that it took 2 D&C's and 4 months of bleeding before my HCG levels dropped to 0. I then went on to have 4 "chemical" pregnancies. They finally sent me to an infertility clinic, but I was already a few weeks pregnant when they sent me and I went on to have a healthy baby boy (and then another one after that).....no idea why I couldn't stay pregnant those other times and I was overweight the whole time. They did put me on a progesterone supplement with the last two pregnancies just in case, but other than that there was no explanation.

I would definitely talk with your MD though because the anxiety over it can be so consuming! Wishing you a very happy outcome !

So sorry for your loss, it's really tough. I've had two miscarriages, one at 7 weeks and the second was an ectopic found at about 6 weeks. It's a fairly brutal thing to go through. But a miscarriage does not at all dictate that next time wont' work for you. After my first it took about 4 months to get pregnant again, but I gave myself a month or so to give my body a rest.

Big recommendation for you, find some ovulation tests online (they are way cheaper online than in stores) , as well pay attention to your body (it'll usually tell you if it's close to ovulating, there's some fairly decent signs if you know about them), and than you can see if you are indeed ovulating.

Most dr's if you're young and generally healthy will make you wait a year of trying and not conceiving to do any testing. If you have been able to conceive they won't do any testing until after the 3rd loss.

Don't stress too much about it, a good place forum for trying to conceive after a loss however is at babyandbump LOTS of knowledgeable and caring ladies who have gone through similar stuff.

My first pregnancy was a miscarriage and was preggo within a month now my daughter is 6. I had a missed miscarriage between my first and second dr's appt. and had gotten preggo's again. It is hard to go through. I know that I was advised to wait 3-6 months to let my body recover. I have heard that sometimes the stress of trying to get pregnant can hurt or make it take longer to conceive. Try to relax it will happen when you least expect it.

I'm sorry about your loss.
I lost my first in the 1st trimester and was told that it was probably chromosonal (sp) abnormalities. Nothing that I could have done anything about. Many women miscarry and that is why most people don't spread the news till after fourteen weeks. The doctors recommended that I don't even try for six months. Just relax and don't put so much pressure on yourself. Let your body recover and when its ready you'll probably have another peanut on the way. I found out I was pregnant 9 months after my miscarriage w/ a healthy boy. I highly doubt that losing weight and becoming fitter is a problem. (As long as you body is still receiving all the nutrients it needs).

It took me 17 cycles after my miscarriage to get pregnant again. And that was very much trying, takign ovulation tests and temping.

FaerieCae

Took me 6 months after a miscarraige to conceive my second child, a son, and that was using a bbt thermometer for the last three months. When he was three months old I conceived my third child. It happens when it happens, generally when you stop stressing about it....

So true. Number 1 took 17 cycles. Number 2 took one time without a condom when number 1 was only 6 months. It was rough but i wouldnt change it for anything now. She was worth every failed attempt. He was worth the craziness of 2 under 16 months

I'm sorry for your loss. I like what other people are saying- find a good doctor, wait until you're ready and don't stress. It's easier said than done. I've had three miscarriages:1st at 3 months; 2nd at 5 months (genetic issues); 3rd at 6 weeks. Then we had a beautiful boy! We waited one year before we started trying and got pregnant right away. We now have two amazing boys. Don't give up hope, listen to your doctors and make sure you're ready both physically and emotionally. Best of luck to you!
