Ttc after d&c

[jayjay_26]

I had a d&c 6 days ago, I only had spotting for 2 days after it and nothing since, my doctor has told me we can start trying again straight away just wondering if it's safe to start having sex again as I forgot to ask the doc at my check up appointment yesterday, and if anyone has got pregnant straight away after a d&c

Sorry for your loss, Depends on the dr, mine told me to wait a week before bd'ing.... also, LOTS have gotten bfp's recently on here right after mc, some even before their first period after the loss, so it is very possible

I had a d&c on dec 23 and was told to wait a week before having sex. I've been trying right away also but haven't ovulated yet.

My doc said to wait two weeks, with me the spotting stopped and started a bunch of times and i'm not sure if i O'd before i got af. I got pregnant again my first cycle after my d&c using opks and so far so good! good luck hun and sorry for your loss xx

Hi all,

Firstly I'm sorry for your loss and know what u are going through! I had 2mmc during 2011 with 2 d&c's. We went private 2nd time and were told not to have sex for a week or until bleeding had stopped to reduce the risk of infection.

We were also told not to start trying again until atleast 3 periods!! I don't want to wait another month though - what does anyone think?!

We are desperate to start trying again but am sooo scared!!

A part of me wants to try and give my husband that experience and blessing but another part of me is extremely scared and does not know if I should because i don't know if my body can even carry a baby to term now. I don't want to be selfish and tell him no not anymore but I don't want to disappoint him again either.

I misscarried at 9 weeks on Dec 21st and had d&c as well. I had a check up at the dc-office one week later and was good to go. I only had light bleedings for two or three days though. Doctors told me to wait 1-3 cycles, but we started ttc right away and I should have gotten my period yesterday. I have cramps and it feels like the has already gotten me, but not so far, so I really hope I'm pregnant again

FX for all you ladies here, that we've all get our soon and have healthy nine months!!!

Hi,
I am new to this site, I am so sorry for everyones loss. I had a D&C on the 9/01 this was my first pregnacy i was 10 weeks along when we found out the baby had died at 8 weeks.. i really want to start trying straight away but i am scared..
After my D&C i bleed for 2 days then stopped.. then yesterday i started to bleed again and now nothing.. has anyone had anything like this?? and do you think it is safe to start trying again. x

 

[jayjay_26]

Lukas I had d&c on 13/01 and only had bleeding for 2 days after it, then nothing then I spotted again 19/01 and then nothing again today, I was told I could start trying again as soon as the bleeding stopped but was advised it would be better to wait until at least one cycle I asked if that was for medical reasons and she said no it was only for dating the pregnancy, I rang my doctor yesterday as I was confused about the bleeding coming back and she said its normal to spot on and off for 2 weeks after and that if the bleeding gets anything more than a period to go back and see her, hope this helped and I'm so sorry for your loss

 

[Lukas]

Hi JayJay, thank you that has helped.. I really hope my body bounces back to before the D&C my husband and I were lucky to fall in the first month. I think we will start ttc again in the next or so.. but it will just be by chance as i have no idea when i will be ovulating. Its nice to know there are people out there who know how you feel.. this is the hardest thing i have ever had to go through.

 

[jayjay_26]

We're a bit like you we weren't trying and it was a big shock to find out I was pregnant as I was on the pill but now after the bleeding stops were not going to chart or anything we will just go back how we were exept not taking the pill and if it happens then it happens, good luck and I really hope we both get a + preg test soon, is ur doctors checking ur hcg level to see if it's falling mine isn't but mine were falling very quickly before the heart stopped beating

I wish I got pregnant right after the laparoscopic I had on 9 Dec. But AF came 38 days after the surgery, 15 days after I ovulated. But alas, I don't mind waiting just a little longer lol. Hopefully hubby and I will get pregnant this cycle, since I hope it's true that "we are more fertile after a miscarriage." I guess we shall see and only time will tell. Good luck, ladies!

Hey hun

The got me on Friday and I was in real pain since Thursday. I even went to the ER only to hear that my uterine lining was built up perfectly (what a blessing) and that there has already been blood in my uterus. I got some pain killers and Buscopan for the cramps. Period only stayed until Sunday

Anyways Af is due on Feb 17th now..

best wishes to ya'll!

I had a d and c on Dec 23, at 11 weeks (found out heart had stopped in week 10) was a missed m/c. Will never forget that ultrasound. And it is good to read that not alone in this situation.
Anyway, we TTC in first month after but no luck. Had lots of spotting and higher than normal temps, so I think preg hormones were still present and body bit out of whack after trauma/changes. I had normal Ov (+opk) and also took a HPT half way through the month to check was neg again. (I was actually pleased to see that negative hpt. lol!) AF was normal and I am thankful for that.
So, now body getting more back to normal again...time to try again! I know how everyone feels on this forum it was the hardest thing ever...next AF due on 16th Feb so got to get busy..got a huge pack of OPKs from online to increase chances...will let you know how I go and good luck to you all

We have very SIMILAR situations

Me, I had my D&C at 12 weeks on Dec 22 (baby was 8-9 weeks in size). And that ultrasound was such a terrible time. I just had a meltdown.

Finally I had gotten a negative pregnancy test on about December 18th (4 weeks after D&C). I started using OPKs a few days later. We weren't going to try right away, so I wasn't using them religiously. But I happened to get a + on Dec 25. We decided to try, but didn't BD until the evening of the 25th. It was our first time having intercourse since the procedure (doctor told us to wait a month for sex). So that was our one and only time and I kinda hope it wil be successful, even though I am sort of worried about the condition of my lining.

Do you feel that your lining is strong enough? You had a period, so yours is probably in better condition than mine. But sometimes I feel like the w hole month I waited just to get a - on HPT might have been good enough for the lining to build.

Good luck to you this cycle!

Yes, we do have similar situations. I think it'll be fine if you do get pregnant this first month before AF..have read all kinds of things on the web..many advising to wait 1 month or 3 months..but mainly I think its for dating reasons that they suggest you wait. others saying your body will do what its meant to do.

The best thing is that repeatedly I read that we are more fertile for first few cycles after a d and c, due to having antenatal vitamins in system and whatever other reasons. So good luck.
My hub said he thought i was preg last month as moody and hot temperature but i think I was just still emotional and body needed to sweat out the pregnancy hormones. So, lets wait and see. ...keep us posted! Any signs yet?
I am waiting for O day and trying to think positive (trying not to obsess...its hard) I just want to be back where I was. Some days are harder than others, and its hard hanging out with my pregnant friends.
I think I ov on cycle day 17 but am doing everything I can to try not to miss any chance we have this month. Temping, using fern thing and OPKs and looking at body signs for the EWCF, I am even trying the cough mixture daily as recommended on 'Egg meets Sperm plan' to boost CF. It seems to take everyone I know so long to conceive these days and I really want to get over the next hurdle now...the long wait into the second trimester and not have to agonise over getting pregnant. But, impatient as I may be I have to wait like everyone else. Lets hope we both get pregnant this month in 2012!

 

[jayjay_26]

I'm so sorry to hear of your losses, me and other half have started tryin again, I'm not temping or charting or anything just letting it happen, let's hope we all get a bfp soon good luck

I had a 12 weeks scan today and found the baby died at 9 weeks, they advised me to start after one period after my D&C tomorrow but I don't think we will as I want to start trying straight away after bleeding has stopped.

I had a d&c before and didn't wait then either, I got pregnant with my daughter, I did suffer a hematoma which is due to the lining of the uterus coming Away and always wonder if it was because I got pregnant straight away after the d&c but many have got pregnant and carried to term after a d&c.

Oh I am so sorry for your loss. Finding out today, it is such a fresh and sad time, and I wish you strength to get through it. I had a D&C and felt was a good option for me, and I am thankful I had I did it the day after I found out as well. It was just helpful knowing that I wouldn't have to "wait it out." A speedy recovery to you

It's positive to see that it is possible to get pregnant right after a D&C. With your hematoma did they put you on bed rest or minimal activity? I see you have a healthy little girl now so that's good.

Sorry for you! It must be a terrible day for you. I hope you recover quickly soon and can start again.
There's no feeling like it...I totally understand.
