How long does it take to conceive after you have had a miscarriage?

I lost my first when i was nearly 5 months. Devastating yeah i know, that was way back in March its now September and still no luck. I went into hosiptal 3 days b4 the miscarriage as i believe my waters had broken, they hosip[tal told me when i was examined later that day, that they could see nothing and everything seemed fine. Baby was still there and heart was beating. Three days later i went into labour and miscarried the next day. Post mortem was carried out, with no reason for this happening. Doctors say they may need to put a stitch in the next time i have a pregnacy. Any ideas? Please dont tell me to just wait..im looking for couples, doctors and expert opinions

Answers:
Pregnancy after miscarriage is usually not a problem. Women can become pregnant even before they have their first period after the miscarriage (which usually occurs four to six weeks after the miscarriage). However, while a woman may be physically ready to get pregnant again, she may not be prepared emotionally. It is recommended that a woman wait for one menstrual period after miscarriage before she tries to conceive again. Grieving after a miscarriage can take some time and it is important that you deal with your loss in your own way in your own time. Once you have properly dealt with your loss, you will feel better prepared to become pregnant again.
dont know. i think its after you have had a period, but i am bot sure. sorry
My sister has had a number of miscarraiges, she has also had 5 healthy births (one unfortunately died of cot-death at about 6 months), From what she has told me, she concieved quite quickly again after her miscarraiges.

I think it depends really on when you want to start trying again.

Good Luck. x x
Very sorry to hear of your loss,I do not know you but, I think the best thing for you to do is to talk to your doctor as they will be able to give you these answers and also will be able to advise you more regarding the stitch you may need.....

Best wishes and fingers crossed that you soon find your are expecting again.
IM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. I HAVE HAD 2 MISCARRIAGES MYSELF. THE DOCTOR TOLD ME TO WAIT AT LEAST 1 CYCLE AFTER. BUT YOU ARE STILL FERTILE RIGHT AFTER YOUR M.C. I KNOW WOMEN THAT GOT PREGNANT A COUPLE OF WEEKS RIGHT AFTER.
I am so sorry to read of your sadness.

I had two m/c between my two children and got pregnant on the first cycle after each m/c, however, this was with a little help from clomid.

I have a friend who had a cervical stitch after having quite severe cervical laser treatment, she carried to term and has a healthy child.

Yahoo groups have several support groups for women who have miscarried, and I would recommend taking a look at this site which has a great success rate for women trying to conceive after miscarraige:-

I had a similar experience, my water broke at 16 weeks and we were told there was nothing they could do, just to go home and wait. We were devastated, we have three daughters and this was our son and we couldn't save him or do anything for him. I went into labor within a few hours and returned to the hospital, I was induced the next day due to a severe infection and high fevers of up to 107, for the next week I was in ICU fighting for my own life as well. My doctor reccommend we wait two years before trying again, it's now 8 months (almost to the day) later and we decided to start trying this month. Your body will know when it's time and it'll happen when it's ready. I fully expect this to take a while for us if it hasn't happened already, but I know the waiting is excrutiating and very agonizing. Your body has to have enough time to heal from the inside, it's possible that if you were to get pregnant too soon that the past may repeat itself, and I know from experience that is not something I ever with to relive. So I know you said not to say just wait, but if it's not happening, it might not be safe yet. Good luck to you and yours and I'm very sorry for your loss. **babydust**
Poor you , i know miscarriage is devastating , i miscarried on xmas day 1992 (my 2nd pregnancy) , i was pregnant by the march 12 wks later but to be honest getting pregnant again was the last thing on my mind as we were just moving into a new home so our minds and attention was being focused elsewhere ,whereas , the 2nd pregnancy i lost it took us over a year to conceive as it was on my mind 24/7 and its true you can try to hard for it , i dont mean sex everyday i mean babies on your mind all day everyday , you really need to relax and take your mind off it and it will happen when u least expect it , at least u know u can get pregnant ( thats what i was told in hospital after my miscarriage ) My friend was in a similar situation , she married her first love , everything was perfect so all she wanted to complete her was a baby , she tried and tried for 2 years until it got to the point where she and her hubby were being put forward for fertility tests and they were told the appointment would take a few months , she was miserable so they decided to book a holiday abroad ,( she never got that holiday to Crete as she fell pregnant ), she knew herself wanting a baby so badly it was driving her crazy and because she felt there was nothing she could do until the testing started she diverted her attentions to preparing for the holiday , taking her mind of babies , she conceived , so all i can say is relax try not to let it take over you as it did her , i am happy to say she has 2 children now
i miscarried at 5 months, took 7 months for me to get pregnant again but all women are different but don't worry it will happen soon
where do i start i'll tell you my story
i became pregnant and had a miscarriage at 10 weeks and it took me 2 years to become pregnant again then i misscarried at 18 weeks. so i told myself it would happen and wait until the right time. and before i new it i was pregnant again and the baby was due on the same day as i lost my second baby only a year later. they found out i had sle lupus which cause blood clots thats why i was miscarring my babies. thankfully my son was born 2 weeks premature but was a healthy baby. so for me it happened straight after which was a big shock i can tell you.
then it took me 5 years to become pregnant again and after taking clomid i can now say im 30 weeks pregnant.
i know what you are going through and my heart goes out to you.
all the best for the future.
My Dr told me to wait 3 months for my body to heal on it's own. How long did it take you to get pg before? If you continue to try many Dr would not even bother with the ttc process until it's more than a year. Good Luck!!
So very, very sorry to hear about the lost of your child. Thought that this would bring you some comfort, when you are ready to view it. It's quite powerful and beautiful.

i have lost two babies my self and i got pregnant within two months of losing both of mine they where both confirmed miscarrages and had a d&c in both cases. hope this helps you
Anytime. I miscarried in march 05 and fell pregnant in June 05 with healthy twin girls. Best off luck!x!x
I had problems where i didn't miscarry properly and was admitted to hospital twice in April and again in may, and i still had a successful pregnancy a month later. I think about that other baby every day. You will get there. Good luck again
I think audreylin has got it spot on. I personally would wait until I felt ready to start trying again. But seeing as you would like to start trying I would wait 1 month to see how your menstrual cycle is.

Good luck whatever you decide and I am truly sorry for your loss
