Trying before first period after miscarriage?

Hi, I’ve just had my miscarriage confirmed today, started bleeding at 6 weeks on Saturday. On scan today they said uterus and ovaries both look normal with no retained products, and my pregnancy test was looking lighter so they think will be negative soon.
Have many people got pregnant within this first month and had successful pregnancies? I don’t know that I can face another period after this and if it was safe to conceive asap I would like to try. But I don’t want to increase our chances of loss and heartbreak again.
Thank you everyone x

I’d say take your time and listen to your body. I’ve never been through this personally but have a little patience and faith and give yourself time.

I had a MC at 7wks in Oct. The EPU told me to wait at least 2 weeks before unprotected sex, until all bleeding had stopped and pain gone away to reduce chances of infection. I haven’t had a period since my MC but started to ovulate last week and we’ve tried again. Now I’m in the TWW stage to see if my period comes or if we’ve conceived. Fingers and toes crossed. I can’t face seeing a period, I feel like it’s traumatic after the miscarriage 🙁 however I’m still scared of another pregnancy as I’m worried it will happen again. Just do what feels right for you, nobody can say what’s right or wrong X

this is what I said to my husband, the idea of seeing the blood again I think will just bring it all back. But if I went straight into another pregnancy loss I’m not sure how I would cope x

it’s so hard, I completely understand how you’re feeling as I’m at this exact stage too. My biggest fear is to have another loss straight after this loss but I want a baby so much that I feel like my heart will be broken if my period comes and it will also bring back all the sadness that I went through watching the bleed as I miscarried 💔 I feel like this loss completely blind sided me as it hadnt even crossed my mind that I’d miscarry so if I go into another pregnancy I also feel like I’m carrying a new fear and anxiousness around loss and worrying if eveything is ok X

It's definitely best to wait at least one cycle and period before trying again, otherwise it is very hard on your body. I have had 3 miscarriages in a row but this pregnancy is healthy 🤞 I waited a full year to try again so my cycles could return to normal before becoming pregnant again

so sorry for your losses, congratulations on your beautiful rainbow 🌈 you’re so brave to have waited so long x

it is so hard, so sorry you’re going through this too. I don’t have many friends who have had losses so this is all so new to me x

I am SOOOO SOOOO IMMENSELY SORRY 🙏🙏🙏👼👼👼🥺🥺🥺😔😔😔

I will be praying for you abd your family Sophie...

I'm going through the same situation. I was 6 weeks too and had my appointment today and it was all confirmed. I pray Health, Healing, Blessings and Baby dust upon you ✨️✨️✨️ ESPECIALLY with the Holidays

so sorry to you also. It’s heartbreaking having all confirmed aswell. Sending thoughts your way x

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

C section compression socks

Hey ladies when did you ditch the compression socks and how mobile were you when you did? I’m so done with them! 6 weeks tomorrow since the op and im walking around the house doing jobs and baby care but not really out and about yet (the odd day I am) is it safe to ditch the socks?

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Leaving baby for date night

How old was your baby the first time you left them for a night alone with your partner or friends? How long did you leave them for and who did you leave them with?
