Successful Pregnancy after Missed Miscarriage?

cgilles87

I had a D&C from a missed miscarriage on 10/21. During our first appointment on 10/20, they discovered our baby had no heartbeat and had stopped growing at 9.5 weeks. (I was 10 w, 2 d). This was to be our first baby and I'm just looking for reassurance to see if anyone has had a successful pregnancy after a D&C. I'm looking forward to TTC, but I am fearful to experience what I did this week.

I'm so sorry for your loss. You may have more luck with success stories on the first tri or pregnant after loss boards. Since this is a TTC board, most of us have not yet had successful pregnancies after loss. Good luck!

One of my coworkers had 2 d&c and is now 35weeks

Thank you so much. I will reach out to that board.

I agree with above.  The pregnant after loss board gives a lot of hope...but the simple answer is yes, of course women have healthy pregnancies after miscarriages.

Hi there- another site I was on...all 6 of us had mmc's last winter.  The 5 other girls ALL got pregnant either one or two months after their miscarriages (all of us had to have d and c's).  I think there is some truth to being more fertile afterwards.  Due to my entire life going out of control, my fiance and I did not ttc again.    Happy to report all 5 of them are far into their pregnancies and doing great!

So sorry about your loss. I had a D and C in May (I was 13 weeks) and am now finally pregnant again! It can be a rough journey but you will get through it. Get support where you can because it certainly helps
Best of luck

Thank you @ksmall14 and @nyc2015 (and of course everyone else!!) for all of your support and information! I do feel some relief knowing that everything will be OK in the future and that there is hope!
