pregnancy after miscarriage?

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:

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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
