Are missed miscar. common? How soon can I TTC again?

Unfortunately, this is common, hang in there, and we hope you'll soon find success

Thanks Dr. Q.

I have had 2 in that past 7 months. I am told it is very common to have these. I got pregnant 4 months after the first miscarriage and had another misscarriage, so take your time. I am just now going to see an RE. I am so sorry for your loss and good luck in the future.

Thanks Jessica. I guess I will do the two months I don't have the luxury to wait any longer though I am 36.

First, I want to say I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine how you must feel. God Bless!

I am just curious, as I was reading your post you said you told your husband that you were usually bigger than what you were this time. Did you still have pregnancy symptoms such as morning sickness or anything else? The reason I am asking is because I just told my husband the same thing. I will be 10 weeks on Friday and I am not as big as I was with my others. So when I read this it made me kind of worry.

Hope you are able to concieve right away and sending prayers your way.

I will tell you what I noticed. My common symptoms are 1) Hunger if I don't eat every 3 or 4 hours I get ill that stopped I would forget I didn't eat. 2) Sleepiness that went away staying up till midnight again 3) stomach not as big as it was with my others. 4) breasts not as tender

Honestly in my gut I felt like something was wrong BUT because I did not cramp or spot I told myself it was my imagination. It started close to my 9th week. I thought I was being paranoid and I said to myself maybe it is going easy because my body has done this before. I was wrong. I don't want you to worry but I never imagined something like this woud happen to me. I can say if you feel it in your gut pay attention to it. Call your Doctor and ask to come in worry won't help but the knowing will.

Thanks so much for your response. I still have the morning sickness, but I was concerned because I wasn't as big as with my others also. It's wierd, I had just told my husband the same thing. I also haven't gained much weight if any. Had you gained any weight or heard the heartbeat with the doppler? We heard the heartbeat at 7 weeks 6 days, which was early.

I will keep you in my prayers. Here's some baby Dust!

***************Baby Dust********************!

Thanks for the baby dust and prayers! I never heard the baby on doppler. I did see the baby on u/s at 5 weeks 4 days. It was beautiful. When I went Monday he put the wand in and I could see immediately something was wrong. I asked why is he so small? where is the heart beat flicker? He didn't say anything. Then he said the baby had passed away and it was measuring 8 weeks 2 days. I would not go on weight gain alone. However, I noticed I had lost a pound but that is because my desire to constantly eat had stopped. My breasts were also not as big. I just kept thinking well no spotting no cramps = no problems. I have never heard of a missed miscarr.

tammie - i went thru something similar just a few weeks ago myself. I was at 8 weeks and the baby stopped growing and my body never m/c on its own so instead of the D&C i chose to have pills inserted into my cervix to force a m/c. It was not fun at all, i am 33 and have been TTC for over a year, this is my 2nd m/c in the last year for no known reason. We have gone thru IUI's, fertility injections and 2 rounds of IVF so far.

I posted question a few weeks ago called "whats the difference" between a missed m/c, a chemical and a regualr old m/c.

THere is a ton of good info onthe post.

Take care.

PS, you can start TTC again this next cycle, whenever you ovualate.

You will take longer to ovulate cuz your follies wont start growing til after your levels are at -0- and that could take some time.

Usually about 6-8 weeks before you get yoru next period after a m/c.

Thanks Chelsha...by any chance do you have pcos? Well my RE said 2 months so then that would be 6 to 8 weeks. I feel in my heart my pcos had something to do with it. I came home and could only east soup so I am still eating soup. I am 1 pound under my pre-pregnancy weight. I am going to try to drop 20. Hopefully this will make it easier to get pregnant and hold on to my little one next time.
