Good morning ladies! It has been a week since I found out about our miscarriage, and while I am still very much grieving the loss of our little one I think I am one of those women that has no desire to wait to get pregnant again. Our doctor told us to wait until I have had one full cycle to try again which is fine but my question is have any of you been in my place? How long did it take you to get pregnant again?

Welcome to C'moms! I'm so sorry for your loss. [hug]

I think that the main reason why docs tell you to wait a full cycle is so that you can date the pregnancy accurately, if you were to conceive again.

But if you chart your basal body temperature and cervical mucus, you could date a pregnancy, even without having a regular cycle.

Do you chart?

Welcome! I know many women who had a m/c and within a month or two became pregnant with babies they carried to term! God will provide you with another babe in His perfect timing. I know how much it can be tough to wait for His answers though:mrgreen:

So sorry. I cannot speak from personal experience, but I have a good friend who miscarried her first. Her husband wanted to start trying again soon. I can't remember exactly how long it was, but it might have been after a month or 2, and they got pregnant almost immediately. I'm sure that is not always the case and probably depends on a lot of factors. I hope that you find healing and God's peace in your pain and as you grieve and begin TTC again.

I've had four miscarriages, and I conceived again the next cycle after each. I don't know how early your miscarriage was or if it was determined why it occurred, but if you have a hormonal imbalance, you just want to make sure that's rectified so you don't have another. Low progesterone is often responsible for early miscarriage.

Blessings, Sister! [hug]

Well, I am pregnant now with twins that we conceived about three weeks after our third m/c.
With our first m/c we were not married (got saved later in life) so we decided to wait a while for babies, with our second m/c I wanted to try again ASAP but my doc thought we had a partial molar pregnancy, and with those it's best to wait a year after to get pg due to cancer risks, but we ended up finding out later that we did not have one.
With this last pg, I was only 5 weeks along and my m/c AF was almost lighter than than my real AF and then we got pg with our twins.

I would keep communication open with the Lord. He totally knows what you need, who is suppose to be in your family, and the most comforting thing is that He knows and knew each hour our babies would live. I take comfort knowing our babies are with Him not feeling the pain of sin...and that I will see them again soon!

I hope you get your heart's desire soon!!
Blessings,
Amber

Thanks ladies! I am feeling much better lately. Not over my loss, not that I think I ever will be, but comforted by all of the kind words from my friends and family and of course you guys! We have decided after much prayer to stop trying to plan and decide! I know it is hard, but the best advice I have gotten is to just relax. We are going to "try" immediately but understand that this is in God's hands and we literally have no control over it.

My miscarriage was just a random unexplained miscarriage. Apparently the do not test for causes when it happens really early and only once. If this happens again (which I am praying and believing it won't!) they may run more test on hormones and such but as of right now we are just kind of in a wait and see mode. I had my miscarriage when I was 8 weeks along according to the calendar but 6 1/2 according to the ultrasound.

I do not chart my temperature or mucus, I don't even know how to do that! When we got pregnant with LC (my husband named the baby Little Chuck or LC while I was pregnant even though we would not be naming the baby Chuck, and had no idea if it was a girl or boy) we were doing the pee on the stick ovulation test things because we had been trying for about 8 months the let it happen way and it didn't happen.

Here is a quick overview for you:

Thanks Blesed! That was actually extremely enlightening and I am going to start tracking that!

AF came 7/27/10 so should be wrapping up soon. I feel very prepared to get back in TTC mode now that I am well. If I could request prayer, I would just ask that you guys pray that God's will be done and if it doesn't happen to line up with mine this month or the next several that I have patience and peace. I am not one with the patience so this not being in control is awful!

Thanks Ladies!

Praying for you, hoping you get a bfp soon. [praying]

You're welcome! I track my fertility signs each month and use it for birth control currently. I have also charted while getting pregnant with my two kids and know right when I ovulated and when my EDD should be. It's very enlightening!

Good morning! I just wanted to give you guys an update and thank you so much for all the prayers. Since I last posted, the hubby and I have both decided to go back to school and stop thinking about getting pregnant so much. He started classes to become ordained and I start classes in January to finish my degree in communications. We haven't stopped TTC and I am glad because AF is a week late. We tested at like 5 a.m. this morning, and it was positive! Right now I am kind of in a a whirlwind because of the last pregnancy ending in a miscarriage. I know we are going to wait until November to tell everyone this time since I will be out of the first trimester. We may just tell a few close friends and family sooner than that. I almost feel silly being so excited. I am literally 4 weeks and 5 days pregnant so I know it is early and anything can happen. At the same time, I really want to just trust that God is going to take care of us. Has anyone been here?

Yay! Congratulations to you!

HH9M! :D

Congratulations!! :-D

First of all, Congrats! woo hoo to you!
Yes, I was VERY nervous getting pregnant after our miscarriage (2 months after losing our little one - doctor's orders - I had to have a D&C - I was hemorraging so badly - sooooo scary at the time). I tried not to think about it - but we waited after the first trimester to tell people. God IS your strength - he does know best. And you know what - after my pregnant belly kept growing - He healed my grief for the one we lost - we won't forget - but God is gracious to know what you need. :-D

Yay! Congratulations gal!!

praise the Lord. i'm hoping to be able to say this sometime. :-)

Thanks everyone! We are pretty excited. It is such a blessing. I am praying that everything sticks this time and I am praying that each of you have a precious announcement soon! Who knows, maybe we will all have May babies!

Well I starting spotting this morning. :-( This pregnancy is going right along with the last one which ended at 8 weeks. I started spotting in week 6 last time, and it just got progressively worse. I have a appointment at 2 today to see if it was just a chemical pregnancy or if I am having another MC.

I just want to ask everyone to pray for us today. I know many of you have been exactly where I am and I really don't want to go through another pregnancy loss. It is going to come to a point where I don't even want to try to get pregant again. I feel completely numb. :-( I know stress is bad for the pregnancy so I am trying to relax. We have a trip to New Orleans planned for this weekend so hopefully this will not set us off on a bad note. :-(

Prayers please!!!

praying for you...big hugs.

Please keep us posted. [praying]

Praying Hun.... ::hugs::

i had no period between one of my m/ca and got pregnant 3 weeks later with twins, one who also miscarried.

Thinking of you today, and praying for you, Hun. ::hugs::

Hi girls! I am just checking in. We did have another miscarriage. They said this one was more like a chemical pregnancy because it was only about 4.5 weeks so it is impossible to tell if I was ever even really pregnant. I am ok. Just discouraged. Seriously discouraged. I want to be a mommy so bad and I know that DH and I will make wonderful parents! I know it is all in God's timing but I am having a hard time understanding the difference between His plan and mine :-) Don't we all ha ha! Thank you for all the posts and encouragement. I haven't been on in a while because I sort of rebelled against message boards. This one is such a blessing to me and I missed your words so much. There is no place I would rather bear my soul and weakness that to other women of God who have been there and are there. Love you ladies! Thanks for taking me under you wing.

Praying for you, for peace and comfort. :: Big Hugs ::

[hug] I am so sorry for your losses. Keep us updated as you can. In our prayers.
