need some inspiration-poll

Audrey Dawne

i just had my d&c last wednesday and am curious as to some successful pregnancies after a loss.

i have a 3y/o DD, which was a "surprise". this past loss took us a year to conceive. i'm hoping it won't take us that long again.

so- how long did it take for you to conceive your m/c pregnancy and then how long did it take for you to become pregnant again?

I guess we're fertile, first time every time.

My loss was a late loss-so not sure if that makes a difference fertility-wise.

with our first, we weren't trying but we weren't preventing either and we got pregnant in about 6 months. after that loss, i started charting and we took 2-3 cycles off, and then i got pregnant on my 4th cycle after that.

are you charting? it can be frustrating and it has it's challenges, but i found it was very helpful for me.

The responses you'll find are going to be very different.

My first two children were surprises so I don't know how long it took, although I don't think it took long.

With my third pregnancy it took us 2 months, with the next one it took another 2 months (after being on bc for one month), I got pregnant right after that on the first cycle, and than 9 months from the last m/c to this pregnancy.

So a year and a half for what appears to be our sticky baby.

Sorry for your loss. We were lucky and got pregnant on the 1st cycle trying both times.  We waited 1 cycle after m/c to start trying again.  Good luck to you!

First m/c was a surprise pregnancy. It took us 14 months before the second m/c then we got pregnant each of the next 3 cycles (2 more m/c and finally a sticky baby). My RE was amazed.

Sorry for your loss.  I had an early loss in October and had a D & C at 9 weeks.  I had my first period 3 weeks later.  I got my BFP 4 weeks after that.  So I had one cycle in between and now am 29 weeks pregnant with a little boy!  It can happen.  I think we are pretty fertile.  We only took 3 months to conceive the first time, and then a month the second.  Good luck!

I'm sorry for your loss. I hope everything happens quickly for you when you're ready.

We went of BCP in April, got PG in May, and I had a d&c in July. Then we skipped August, missed in September, and got PG again in October. Baby girl is due July 17th. 

Good luck!
