Miscarriage?

Q: Ok I miscarried the end of last month. I was told that we need to becareful and wait three months before TTC again. Signs of pregnancy subsided. We haven’t been as careful as we should have been. I haven’t had my period yet. And now, I am having pms/pregnancy signs again. Hypothetically speaking when can a woman get pregnant again? When can I expect my period again? Can you get pregnant before your next period, after the miscarriage? Don’t you need to ovulate before you have your period? In order to have a period you need to expel blood/old egg…right? I don’t understand how this works (In regards to a miscarriage and resuming normal function)I think it’s just PMS, but it’s something I want to know. I will be careful going forward…I, of course, want a healthy baby so I am going to way the 3 months. (This was my first baby/miscarriage)

A: When i miscarried my period came the very next month when it was due.your health after miscarriage HCG LevelsMost women can expect their levels to return to a non-pregnant range about 4 – 6 weeks after a pregnancy loss has occurred. This can differentiate by how the loss occurred (spontaneous miscarriage, D&C procedure, abortion, natural delivery), and how high the levels were at the time of the loss.Health care providers usually will continue to test HCG levels after a pregnancy loss to ensure they return back to 5.0. tirednessIt is normal to feel emotionally and physically drained following a miscarriage. If possible take a few days off work, and if you can’t, make sure you get to bed early, plan rests where possible and postpone anything that isn’t urgent.Make yourself your first priority. bleedingIf your miscarriage is complete, you can expect your bleeding to taper off rapidly, i.e. over the next week it should get lighter and lighter and stop. All bleeding and spotting should have stopped by seven days. If it persists or is heavier than a normal period, this indicates something is wrong, see your doctor. While you are still bleeding it is important that you shower, not bath, and that you do not swim in public pools because of the risk of contracting an infection.painWhen the miscarriage is complete, or after a D&C all pain should cease. Again, see your doctor if you have continuing pain.temperatureTemperature indicates infection which can result in infertility. If you have one see your doctor urgently. You will be treated with antibiotics and possibly a D&C (or repeat D&C). dischargeIf you are having an offensive discharge this could also indicate infection so get checked out. lactationThis is normal if the pregnancy has lasted longer than 12 weeks and will stop by itself. menstrual cycleOvulation can occur 14 days after a miscarriage with the next period 28 days after the miscarriage, but there is great personal variation. It may take a few cycles before your regular pattern is re-established. This means that you can become pregnant 14 days after a miscarriage if you resume a normal cycle immediately, but there is a great personal variation. It can take up to 6 or 7 weeks for your next period to come if you had “natural” miscarriage (i.e. no D&C or tablets). sexSexual intercourse should be avoided until bleeding has stopped to prevent the risk of infection. Even though your cervix will be closed again, sperm can travel up through it and introduce infection into the uterus, which is still healing. contraceptionIf you do not wish to become pregnant immediately, you should start using contraception straight after the miscarriage. Note: The pill should be commenced at the time of the miscarriage. You will not be safe until you have taken the tablets for 14 days. the physical symptoms of griefMany women find they experience physical symptoms of grief as well as the emotional aspects. These vary greatly from person to person, and include: disturbed sleep and eating patterns unexplainable tiredness unexpected tears disturbing dreams and mental confusionBe gentle and patient with yourself during this time and take comfort in knowing that these symptoms are normal.You can get pregnant right away…you are more fertile after you have a miscarriage or giving birth.My doctor told me to wait 2 months before trying again but i haven’t.So sorry for your loss.Good luck

Does this frustrate anyone else who is/was pregnant?

Q: Everytime I mention that I’m five weeks pregnant, I seem to get responses from some people indicating it’s inevitable that I will miscarry. I know they mean well, and have been through a miscarriage, but it’s really depressing to hear it over and over. I can’t even seem to get excited because I am terrified that I will miscarry this baby. I’ve wanted to tell my boss and co-workers, but the two of them that do know are discouraging this because “of miscarriage in the first 3 months.” I’m just feeling really frustrated with some people’s responses and reactions. One friend I told was shocked that we told our families when we found out I was, she said I should have waited till after the first trimester. Why would I want to wait to tell my family for 8 weeks? If something did happen, wouldn’t most people want a support system from their work and family? Instead of everyone wondering what was wrong with you?Also, why is this such a common reaction to an early pregnancy? Even my OBGYN has said things like, “Well, you’re not out of the danger zone yet,” and “You are in the very early pregnancy stages so not much you or I can do but just wait and see.”I honestly feel like I’m awaiting a death sentence. I never thought being pregnant would bring so many odd reactions.Thoughts on this? How did you deal with it?

A: believe me this frustrated me like crazy! i wasn’t allowed to actually go see my doctor until i was in the second trimester. they felt there was no need to get worked up unless i was truely pregnant and didn’t have a miscarriage. so the whole time i had to wait i was wondering if when i got to the doctor there would even be anything in there. of course we did an ultra sound and bam there was my little baby, or really he looked more like a peanut with arms. (: i thought it was impossible for me to actually hold a baby, and i still yet don’t believe it sometimes and i’m 31 weeks pregnant and this boy kicks all the time. You’ll hear so many people tell you that you are in the danger zone, but don’t listen to them, your pregnant, and i’d enjoy it! if something did happen, then you know you’ve had a heads up, and if not you’re just putting everyone in their place that opened their mouths by being a happy FOR SURE pregnant lady (: good luck!!

How can I get him to want a baby again after miscarriage?

Q: I just had a miscarriage at 3 months and it was very sudden and unexpected because we thought everything was fine with the pregnancy. This was our first child together, but I have 2 children from a previous relationship. He has wanted to be a daddy for years and was so happy when I finally got pregnant. By coincidence his sister announced her first pregnancy also less than a month after us and she was due 1 week later. She is still pregnant and his family is giving her all the attention and has forgotten about our loss and he feels very jealous and forgotten. He is Very upset about loosing the baby and Now he says to me there is no point in trying for another baby anytime soon because his family will only care about his sisters baby now. He is even going to the extreme of insisting that we will have to use condoms or birth control. Before this happened he wanted to be a daddy so bad and I still want to try again in a few months. I am hurting also by the loss but I feel it doesn’t matter how much attention you get from other people because its about us and our family and what we want. How can I help him feel like wanting to be a daddy again and not insist on birth control. It seems stupid to me a few months ago we were purposely tying to get pregnant and now he wants birth control.

A: Maybe 2 to should go to couples therapy to help you get over your loss. Also Have you considered a Fertility Specialist? People who have PCOS miscarry a lot easier than people who do not. Also I am personally seeing a specialist and here are some great onesDr. Lee Kao, and Dr. Collin Smikle at www.laurelivf.comGood Luck to you!
