Sadly am having a D&C on Friday. Was supposed to be 9 weeks but baby measured 5 and half weeks. Am trying to think positive and wondering how long it has taken people to get pregnant following a D&C. Also is there any readon you can’t try straight away or does that create a greater risk of miscarriage again?

Hi first of all sorry about your loss…it is heartbreaking to lose a baby..regardless of how far along you are. I had a MC at 12 weeks and had to have and D&C..scan showed it to be 9 weeks. will never get over it i don’t think and that 3 years ago.you always wonder what if. now you have a little guardian angel. x
They say you sould not try to conceive until the same duration as you were pregnant.. ie you were 9weeks so you should wait 9 weeks before you start trying again. a D&C is so hard on your system that it will be unlikely for you to concieve until then or after. It will probably take maybe 6 weeks for your periods to appear again so wait until they are back to normal to try again.
Best of luck to you 🙂
My first miscarriage happend at 9 wks, blighted ovum, after my D&C we waited 2 cycles before we started trying and it took me 7 months to conceive. My Son just turned 2! I found out i was pregnant again in November and miscarried at 11wks (lost the heartbeat =0( ) I had a D&C in January, started trying again in February… STILL TRYING 8 months later! I know plenty of people who just tried right after and they were pregnant before the next cycle even started, and had normal pregnancies and healthy children!!
I think it’s an emotional thing more then anything, my Dr. told me this time around the he “should” be telling me to wait 2 cycles before trying, but to do it when I feel I’m ready!
GOOD LUCK! And hang in there!
Im kinda scared to get pregnant again because of my two losses. Its been 3 years since i been pregnant and this year is the only year i have been trying, but have had no luck, back in dec i got off the birth control pills, and in march i know for a fact i ovulated because i took the tests, and we had sex the whole month and i still did not get pregnant, its very disscouraging, and i miscarried in my 2nd trimester, which is very hard breaking- the half way point in my pregnancy. I wish you the best of luck, and to myself, but its all just a matter of time guess.
