Trying to conceive

Hi!

I had a miscarriage is Jan.. my husband and I have been trying to conceive again but we are having no luck 🥺 anyone have any tips or when they got pregnant after there miscarriage? Thank you all 🤍

Trying again

Hi, has anybody got pregnant straight after a missed miscarriage? Or have people tended to wait for a period before trying again?

Hey Ladies

I had a ectopic pregnancy almost a year ago and I’m ready to try again has anyone had a child/children after a ectopic pregnancy?

Story time !

Has anyone else had a miscarriage and went on to have their next pregnancy be healthy ? Just looking for some peace of mind I know anything can happen in the first trimester and it’s usually chromosomal issues, just figured I’d reach out .

Sad News (Loss)

Just found out I had a miscarriage today. Very painful and devastating experience. I was supposed to be 11 weeks pregnant, this would have been my 3rd child. The baby measured 8 weeks with no heartbeat. I know everything will be ok and the lord will get us through but it's just scary and sad right now. Nothing prepares you for this kind of news. We've already started sharing the news with friends and family and it's just painful having to tell everyone we are no longer expecting especially my kids. There are so many emotions going on inside me right now. I would just really love to talk to other moms who have gone through this, how did you make it through?
It would be encouraging if you could leave a prayer in the comments for me and my family, thank you ❤️

Normal bleeding pattern??

Hi Ladies

So I miscarried 29th Jan at 7 weeks - I bled for around 3 weeks .. my first period since miscarrying was on the 28th Feb .. it was heavy and lasted around 2.5 weeks 😮 My period stopped around 3 days ago but now I'm bleeding again! Like it's another period!!

Has anyone experienced this? Is it normal?

Thanks ♡♡

Uk based counselling post miscarriage

Hey, what options has anyone used in the UK for counselling post miscarriage. I had a second-trimester loss, and major blood loss event and think it would be worth me talking it though with a professional. My GP gave me the details for Tommy's and also Miscarriage Association. Tommys suggest using a work EAP. I called them as said they could support but a specialist charity might give me better help. The miscarriage Association links to Petals Charity which ive contacted but im not in the catchment of the list of hospitals they work with. Im South wales based and looking for in person around here or bristol, or if anyone found online worked- interested to know more on that too.

Some advise please

Hi everyone,
So I had a miscarriage 18th February and was bleeding for around 5/6 days. When I attended the EPU on 19th they did a test which came back negative and a retested a couple of times a week later and all test negative.
I bought some LH strips to help track ovulation and about 2 weeks after my miscarriage I had a peak. I’ll attach a photo. Based on those LH readings it predicted my next period would be Sunday 15th March however I’ve still not had my period and I understand periods can be delayed following a miscarriage. I have done two tests and both negative. We did have UPSI the day before and on and after of when it said I was ovulating which was 4th March.
I have had sore boobs (which isn’t my usual PMS symptoms), bloating,nausea, dizziness and fatigue the last 3 days. I had some cramping in the evenings for the last 2 days and was sure I would wake up the following more and my period would start.

Will the LH strips have been accurate following a miscarriage?

Pregnancy after miscarriage

Is the pregnancy after a miscarriage more likely to be successful? I am stressed and overthinking about it.

Take the pill or do the D&C?

I'm currently in my 2nd miscarriage. My first miscarriage was last July and it was quick (bled 5 days, did a blood test and confirmed). This miscarriage, I thought would happen the same, but yesterday marked 3 weeks of bleeding. Did an ultrasound yesterday and they didn't want to confirm loss of pregnancy as of yet, even though the sack was really low and looks to be leaving the uterus and they confirmed no heartbeat. Then said to come back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound to see if anything changes. If nothing changes or I don't pass it on my own, then I either have to do a D&C or take the pill. Both I never had done before. Has anyone had to deal with D&C or the pill? Which one should I do?

Miscarriage

A week ago and I thought I was doing okay… until I saw that everyone is announcing their pregnancy and now I feel myself getting sad again. I would have been 8 weeks this week and I would have had my first ultrasound and appointment this month. So I guess I am saying it’s just a lot. I am happy for everyone but sad at the same time

Missed miscarriage

Hey girls, just wanted top post for anyone going through this.. today I had a D&C for my poor baby at 10weeks 2 days. Long story short I got pregnant 2months after having a baby and I managed to carry the baby to 10weeks and at my scan the baby had no heart beat (did have an early dating scan at 9weeks and the heart was beating away) so this should have been my 12week scan :( it was heartbreaking but the surgery was the best option for me. Everyone at the hospital was amazing and it all went smoothly, basically I just wanted to reassure anyone who may be facing this for the first time and say as emotional as it is don't be frightened. I've never been put to sleep before and I was awake before I knew it no pain and only slight bleeding. I was given a beautiful memory box before I left the hospital. I did opt for pathology results but was advised that my body just wasn't ready after just having a baby. Don't blame yourself just treasure the memory. If anyone needs any advise please message as I wish I did to other girls who have been through this. It feels very lonely. Xx

Missed miscarriage at 11 weeks

It feels like shoots and ladders. Go back to beginning after all that exhaustion, nausea, peeing, weight gain, insomnia. Would love any tips for physical, emotional support.

39.5 and had my first child in 2024. Started trying for my second in Nov 2025. Got pregnant Dec 2025 and now in March 2026 miscarrying.

There was a heartbeat at first US but two weeks later no heartbeat-stopped developing at 7 weeks. Two weeks later heart beat was gone and development the same. Had to get D&C this week.

Sending love and support to anyone else on this wild rollercoaster.

Possible miscarriage

I’m almost 10 weeks pregnant and I started spotting this morning. it slowly turned into bleeding and passing mucusy blood and small clots which has been constant for the last few hours along with period like cramping. It’s heavy but not heavy to soak a pad in an hour, at least yet. I’m wondering if this sounds like a miscarriage or if there’s any hope… i have an ultrasound scheduled on Friday…

💔First miscarriage first pregnancy.

I discovered yesterday (8.5 weeks) that my pregnancy had stopped at 5 weeks.
Grieving and scared about how painful it will be to “expel” everything.
Any thoughts, books, tips, videos reccomedations to overcome this? My partner is back to work and behaves like nothing happened. My mother and father in law did not even bother to send me a WhatsApp message or call.

Periods after miscarriage?

How quickly or long did everyone get there periods after you miscarried? And now was the first period after?

Miscarriage

It’s been a month since I lost my baby and I’ve already had my first period since the miscarriage. Hubby and I are gonna try again but the thought of trying again makes me sad because I want my baby I lost. I can’t wait to have my rainbow baby. I just hate that I lost the baby. Is it normal to go through grief knowing that you did nothing to loose the baby then to think what if you did do something? Maybe I’m just overthinking. I just wish I had my baby. It’s so hard seeing pregnant women because that was me I would still be if I didn’t loose my baby. Maybe it’s the non alcoholic 0% beer or what if I ate something bad is what goes through my mind. What if I did something. Was it a boy or girl what did he or she look like? Ugh this is hard. Im venting sorry. Does miscarriage grief ever get easier? One week I’m fine then the next I’m crying for a whole week and depressed.
