loss at 19 weeks and TTC again??

Hi Ladies,

I am so sorry that any of us are on this board but I appreciate the support that any of you are able to offer!!

We lost our baby at 19 weeks at the beginning of July. I just found out that it can take up to a year for me to get in to see a gynaecologist to try and find out what might have caused this miscarriage and we really don't want to wait a year to start trying again..especially because I am already 37 years old:( I'm wondering if anyone has had a second trimester loss and gone on to have a healthy pregnancy? Does a second trimester loss usually mean there is a health issue with the mother? I want to start TTC again soon..but am scared of something happening again:(

Our quick history: healthy pregnancy in 2010, miscarriage at 10 weeks in 2011, healthy pregnancy in 2012 and this late miscarriage at 19 weeks in July 2014. 

I appreciate any hope or advice anyone can offer!

    I'm so sorry for your loss.  the TTC After a Loss board may be able to help you out more.

    Please be sure to post a warning in your title though that you mention healthy pregnancies/living children, some women may find it upsetting.

    I can't answer your question from personal experience myself, but I have 3 close friends who had late term losses (one at 40 weeks) who all went on to have healthy pregnancies.

    I am so sorry for your loss.  I'm wondering why it would take that long to get in to your doctor?  That seems unusually long.  Are you looking for a consultation type appointment or an appointment to go over pathology results?  Did you have a follow-up appointment after your loss?

    The PP mentioned TTCAL, but you could also try the Parenting after a Loss board for success stories.

    I know what you mean about not wanting to wait and age.  I'll be 39 next month. 

    Good luck to you and (((Hugs))).
