Q: Conceiving after Miscarriage
asked by: mommyalvey on February 12th, 2009

I have a history of medical problems concerning female issues. I was diagnosed with PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrom, ended up losing one of my ovaries. Then I was blessed with a baby 5 years ago. Since having my son I have been treated for endometriosis (not sure if it is spelled right). My husband and I tried for 8 months to get pregnant, finally did! Then on November 28th (9 weeks pregnant) I found out that I lost the baby at 8 weeks 1 day. I am confused, I had an ultrasound done at exactly 8 weeks and my babies heart beat was 164. The doctors still can not tell me what happened. However, I am trying to move forward and want to get pregnant again desperatly! I have had two cycles since the D&C (suction) is it safe for me to get pregnant or am I going to be high rick? Is there anything I can do to help get pregnant, I don't know how much my emotions can take going 8 months again trying to get pregnant.

Doctor Question...
Hi Mommyalvey and welcome to ehealth:

What does your doctor say on this?...You should really speak with him/her as they are the one who is acquainted with your medical history...There is also a place at the top of this page where you can ask a "Doctor Question"...You click on it and it takes you there...This way the Doctor will review it and answer you....

Good luck,
Caroline

ask your doctor first!!!
Well a doctor always recommends to wait 6 months after miscarriage or abortion. I think you should go to your doctor and ask him/her sometimes you only have to wait for three months, and yeah if you get pregnant right away, it is most likely that you are going to be put on as high risk because it would be most likely that it would end up in another miscarriage. You have to give you body sometime before getting pregnant

conceiving after miscarriage
Speak to your doctor, but I have been told to wait two weeks or until after the first normal period before trying again. But I have heard and experienced that fertility is sometimes enhanced for the first few months after a miscarriage. I don't know if there is any medical evidence to this but lots of anectodal evidence.

Someone posted "Well a doctor always recommends to wait 6 months after miscarriage or abortion...." This is simply incorrect. After certain complications like a molar pregnancy you have to wait 6 or 12 months but that is due to the need to monitor for a return of the condition and not because of a risk to the next pregnancy. (I do not live in the US -- maybe there they say wait 6 months? If so I think it is a shame.)

It may be that a pregnancy after a miss will be considered "high risk"; I think this is even if it is not right away, but most of the time the next pregnancy is OK, from what I've heard and seen (just as examples after my first miss I got pregnant after one normal cycle and the pregnancy was called high risk but everything was fine except a few weeks of light bleeding. My friend got pregnant without even one period and everything was fine.)

Hatzlocha!
