Not sure. I am seeing a specialist to get checked out after easter. My cycles are very irregular so may start that week or be another 2-3 weeks. But as soon as I start my next cycle it'll be all systems go! I find I get very down while I'm bleeding after a m/c but once that stops and I have a plan for the next try then my spirits lift. Hope everything is over quickly for you.

Welcome coopersmummy sorry you are going through this. At 6 weeks itll likely just be like a heavier, more painful period with possibly more clots than usual. But you can generally try again straight away from your next cycle if you are ready emotionally. I lost my bub at 11 weeks and was encouraged to try again straight away as everything happened naturally for me. Good luck hun hope things go smoothly as they can and you get your rainbow baby soon xx

Thanks guys, I feel much better about it, my husband said not to worry we can try again and we've been lucky so far and we really have. I do feel lucky for what we have. It doesn't mean I didn't love and want this one too though. Which makes me feel badly for still feeling upset

It doesn't matter how many successful pregnancies you have or even how much you planned (or didn't plan) for the one you lost, it is still an extremely hard thing to go through and you need to give yourself permission to feel whatever emotions surface and work through them. The reality is your hormones are so wired you have little control over how you will feel. I have only had early m/c (before a heart beat is detected) so I haven't really grieved for the loss of the embryo but more the failure to successfully carry it and the ruining of plans that I've made. I found I got quite depressed after my first one because I wasn't able to get pregnant again soon afterwards. it was six months before I realised I wasn't cycling properly. These last two I've bounced back pretty quick because I've been trying again straight away.
Everyone deals with it in their own way so don't let anyone (including yourself) tell you how you should feel.
Something to keep in mind also, they say you are at your most fertile the 2 cycles after a miscarriage.

Its hard no matter what stage of life you are at, or what stage baby was at... I have a beautiful 4 year old and am so blessed to have her, but losing my angel was still the most heartbreaking thing ive ever been though. and its not that im not grateful for my DD, actually its the opposite- she really helped me get through it all in her own little way.. its still hard when it happens though. and your hormones go crazy so you are emotional anyway! hugs. let yourself feel what you need to feel, then get up and carry on. we know how you feel right now xxx great that hubby is supportive and ready to try again soon.

Well it didn't go so well and ended up in hospital yesterday, feeling rough today but on the mend. Everyone was so kind, it was great, my midwife was fantastic, so were the doctors, ambulance drivers, nurses. Onwards and upwards I say

Just thought I would pop in and say hi ladies. I still think about you and lurk every now and then to check out success stories!
I am now just past the 27 week mark and I never thought I would make it this far. I am absolutely loving being and looking pregnant although the 3rd trimester is going to hit me soon I'm sure! I am having a surprise so don't know if it's blue or pink yet! Also wanted to say that pepi and I are due in the same month and it's lovely having someone who understands for support.... especially that god awful first trimester!!!! I hope you all get there very soon!!!

Just popping too to say hi. I'm sorry to those who've recently endured a loss. It really isn't easy but as time goes on it does heal. It took me 6 months after my MMC to conceive again and I'm thankful my little rainbow growing inside is really meant to be. I'm a firm believer of 'everything happens for a reason' and at the time when things go wrong I can get so down, but looking back you always wonder if things like that happened as otherwise how things are now wouldn't have worked so well. It's hard to imagine if I hadn't of had my MMC I would have had an 8 month old! So even though I miss my angel I am also happy with the age gap now created. This little guy is full of beans and I'm hoping he decides April is the month (due end of) as I don't really want to go into May. Anyway, just wanted to say hello and wish you all the best in your next journey whether it be trying to conceive or pregnancy! Let's hope your TTC after mc is not too long xxx

Nice to hear from you NZVeg and Talz, great things are going so well for both of you. Sorry to see the new additions to the group! I got AF for April Fools, so fitting!! So i'm turning 33 with nothing to show of it, crazy to think i was 31 when we started TTC and when i got preg with George! I've had a few more friends announce their pregs, around the due date i would have been with my Dec MC. I do so much sighing and crying at the moment!

I'm ok, I've never been so tired in my life though, I basically do one thing then nap, have a shower, nap. It's like my mind wants to be busy so I don't have to think but my body doesn't want to co-operate.
I find it so heartbreaking seeing others have this same thing happen

Yeah, it can take quite a bit for your body to recover. Especially when there have been complications.
Sometimes it just doesn't seem fair when you read what other people have been through. There was a lady in my oh baby forum from when I had my daughter. Her pregnancy got right to the final weeks then she lost her suddenly during birth. Then her second pregnancy she delivered premature, borderline survivable and her daughter now has severe special needs. She is a wonderful person and you think how can she deserve to go through so much. It just breaks your heart sometimes. I think it's great that we can support each other through it. I have friends who have no problem getting pregnant and popping out healthy babies and I find I just can't talk to them about this stuff, they don't understand and don't know what to say. Infertility can be a lonely thing sometimes.

So lovely to see NZveg, Talz and Pepi doing well xx
Welcome to the newcomers, but so sorry for the journey that lead you here X
I just found out yesterday my little spark passed away a few days ago. I should be 10w3d today, it was not measuring the right size as with all my mmc they don't grow properly. Which is why I'm thinking it's something genectic. I have also read in a few places that loss after 8 weeks means it's usually something to do with the foetus.
I'm hopefully getting a D&C on Tuesday (which is actually my sons 1st birthday and we were supposed to be going to Staglands). I say supposed to be as my last mmc was also supposed to be a D&C but somewhere along the line someone lost my file and I never got booked and ended up doing it all at home. This time if I start to miscarry I'm going straight to the hospital. I am adamant they will collect the product no matter what as I need testing done. I can't do another pregnancy without answers.
Thank you a.girl for your kind thoughts in the charting girl thread. I was wondering if you can tell me what genectic testing involves? I know they can test the foetus and sperm, how do they test me? What did you have done to get your answers? I hope you don't mind me asking.

Hugs poppy and nell xxxx I hope you get plenty of rest this easter weekend (and get given lots of chocolate!) It sure can be a lonely journey. ..its nearly a year since I lost my angel and here is the only place I talk about it now and its been that way since about 2 mths after my loss..you get a few weeks down the track and the few people who were happy to talk about it start looking at you like you should be over it by now..I know before I experienced a mc I had no clue how devastating and life changing it is.. xxx yeah I was told when I had my 11wk mc that it was likely genetic as by then your progesterone etc cant really be to blame, and babys heart is formed and pumping..so for it to just stop-that doesnt "just happen" for no good reason. My angel also was a good 2 weeks behind growthwise from the beginning- no one believed me when I said it was impossible to only be 5 weeks preg as id known for over 3 weeks at that point. But yea sounds like you should put your foot down about getting the tissue tested.theres bloodtests etc they can do for you and your man too. Hugs!
