Recovering and Trying Again

sushisharon27

Greetings!
I first want to start by saying I feel blessed knowing there are other strong woman who share my thoughts. I'm pretty new to this so please forgive me. I think I am feeling a bit depressed and anxious. I'm not really sure. I gave birth or rather miscarried atfours months. I'm not 100 percent positive but I may have had some kind of infection. I know I had lost my mucas plug and intially did not recognize the symptoms although I don't think at four months thete was anything medical staff could have done. I heard of a possible injection although the ER nurse said I might need a surgery to help my weakened cerix (or shape of the cervix ie shortened?). I want to try to have a baby again but don't where to go here from here. This was four months ago and I feel I've had several on/ off infections as well as vaginal irregulaties. How do i get healthier down there? What am i doing wroing? Should I just go to a gynecologist and get a preconception visit or evaluation? How does this work? Any and all recommendations would be very much appreciated. Thank you for reading my lenghty post!
Blessings~ Sharon

Sorry for your loss. Welcome! Yes, I would definitely go to the OBGYN for a preconception visit. Make sure to tell them all of your concerns and ask what you can do to improve your health and if the issues you've had can interfere with TTC.

I hope your stay here is short!

SO sorry for your loss. I can commiserate with you on not noticing symptoms. In my pre-term birth @ 35 weeks, I had no clue I was losing my mucus plug, I just thought I was having some extra discharge and then... In my miscarriage I also neglected some signs that something was wrong, but like you, I am sure nothing could have changed the situation. 

What makes you think you had an infection while you were pregnant? I wonder this about me too. As for the irregularities now, I feel like I struggled with a hormonal imbalance prior to pregnancy and during which resulted in noticeable symptoms that I did not address. Currently I am taking probiotics to keep my system in balance and doing acupuncture/dietary changes to further balance things out hormonally. Along with vitamins/supplements. 

Good luck, and sorry you have to be here.
