should you wait to get pregnant again?? Or how long after one CAN you get pregnant again???

most doctors say at least 1 full cycle i believe

I am not sure there is any set amount of time, I think that that is up to the couple.

We waited almost 6 months......

Ok, is it possible to get pg like a few weeks after???

i believe so

If you ovulated a few weeks later it is.

Ok because my MIL called this morning to tell us that my SIL is preggo AGAIN!! She just lost her baby like 3 weeks ago(I think) so I am not sure as to how it happened! It just doesnt seem possible. I told my MIL that maybe she was pg with twins and lost one :dunno cuz it doesnt sound right that she is pregnant ALREADY! I guess she didnt bleed for very long and never got her period when the doc said she should, so she took a test and she is pg. She is going to the doc on monday to confirm. Does this not sound weird to you???

are they sure she miscarried to begin with?

My SIL thought she miscarried at 9 1/2 weeks, she was bleeding big clots, lost all pg symptoms, etc. and was shocked two weeks later to find out she was still pregnant....so it's possible she didn't miscarry or was having twins and lost one.

are they sure she miscarried to begin with?

Yeah I guess so. My MIL said she went to the doc and everything and they said she miscarried. She was at 20 weeks (or right around there) and had just found out it was a boy. I dont know, it just sounds fishy to me.

did they do a d&c? at 20 weeks, you're giving birth to a small baby (very tiny but still like 10 oz or so)

thats a big deal...

It's possible that all of the HCG may not have left her system yet if she was 20 weeks and had a late-term loss.

They didn't test her hormones to ensure she lost the baby? When I lost my baby they did are hormone check, and a few days later I had to go back to do it again to ensure that my hormones had gone down and that I was not pregnant. Like others are saying though, maybe she didn't lose the baby and she simply thought she did.

After mine I was told 2 cycles but I know some ladies that have been told 6. I would check with your doctor.

I dont know. All I know is that my MIL and BIL said that she miscarried. My BIL called when she was in the hospital, so I dont really know the details. We dont talk to them hardly, so anything we hear is from my MIL and she called this morning and said she was pg again. That is just too weird to me. I am thinking about calling her.

YEA at 20 weeks, when you "miscarry" it's essentially going into labor and delivering a "baby" KWIM?

:yes true

I just got off the phone with her and she said that they didnt do anything. :dunno she said that she was int he hospital over night and they did ultrasounds and pelvic exams and confirmed her miscarriage, but that they didnt do a D&C. She said that they had mentioned it, but never did it. They sent her home on bed rest with lots and lots of water and told her to come back if her bleeding didnt stop in 2 weeks or if there were any other problems. She said that her bleeding had stopped about 7 days after she left the hospital and was just like the bleeding you have after having a baby. (which sounds weird to me) She said that she feels fine now and expected to get her period last week but never did, so she took a test and it was positive. Then I asked if they mentioned anything about it maybe being twins and she just laughed. I am wondering if it IS twins and she just didnt want to tell anyone. Or maybe she is afraid because maybe she thinks she is going to lose this one too :dunno She did get mad that her mom had told me, but whatever.

none of that makes any sense....

that makes as much sense to me as a screendoor on a submarine....

Thats what I am thinking, thats why I asked. It just doesnt sound right to me. Granted, I have never had a miscarriage, so I dont know anything about it, but that just doesnt sound right. I mean I researched it and they all said that after 20 weeks they "deliver" the baby or do a D&C or D&E thing. So the fact that she didnt get that done was just weird to me. I dont know what to think.

that makes as much sense to me as a screendoor on a submarine....

:lmao

that would be interesting to see!!

Yeah I think the same thing it makes no sense to me.... She would have to have a D&C or something to make sure everything is out and ok. And if you take a pregnancy test 3 weeks after having a baby don't you still have the pregnancy hormones in your body for it to come out positive.

Very strange to me too.

20 weeks- then pregnant 3 weeks later. Wierd.

That does sound weird, and I think after a miscarriage, especially a late one they want to have you come back and be checked out to make sure that everything is OK again.

At 20 weeks she would have had a D & C or delivered, they would not have just left it be. I lost my baby at 22 weeks (was admitted at 20) and she was 1lb when I delivered, and she was definitely large enough that she couldn't have gone out without being noticed. I mean...I was in labor, she was tiny but a baby in every way, there's no way I would have confused her with a blood clot (or passed her that easily for that matter).
At 20 weeks, it doesn't sound fishy...it sounds impossible.

I was induced because at that gestational age, you can become septic and die if everything doesn't come out. So I doubt any doctor would have sent her home without having done a D & C if the pregnancy had been officially declared over.

Oh...and we waited a year before getting pregnant again after we lost our baby, my doctor recommended at least 6 months.

Yes it is I got pregnant, and lost three in a row before carrying my oldest full term. A lot of that though had to do with me being in grief, if I had it to do all over I would not of put my heart & body through all of that. If you have a ovulate you can get pregnant even if you just had a miscarriage.

Sorry I just read the first page my M/C were all 1st trimester with out any medical intervention at all. I went to the ER the first time just talked with my OB the second two times. I lost at 8 weeks, 5 weeks, & 9 weeks.

Many times after a miscarriage, the hormones will still be high enough that a pregnancy test will show a false positive. That could very well be the case. However, it is also possible that she got pregnant, if she happened to ovulate that soon. After miscarriages, they will do a D&C if the sonograms still show excessive blood or tissue in the uterus. The timing of her pregnancy does sound a little fishy, but I guess anything is possible...the female body can do some truly amazing things! LOL!

Something isn't right. There is no way they would just leave her be if she was 20 weeks.

I think she's not telling y'all the full truth.

Your brother was at the hospital when she lost the baby, right? Have you asked him?

It sounds odd to me!! Hmmmmm the story seems a bit "off" to me.

yes the story does seem a bit off, i had to deliver summer but i was about a month further than her. she may just not feel comfortable talking to you about it. i know i wasn't because after i lost summer, i felt it was my fault so i didnt want to talk to anyone about what happened because it was like going through everything all over again everytime i talked about it.

I dont know whats going on, but about 3 hours after I called her, my MIL called me and chewed my ass for calling her! Aparently, she wasnt supposed to tell anyone and my SIL got really pissed. I dont understand at all what is going on and I told my MIL that I think she is lying. I HONESTLY dont think she was even pregnant!! Seriously I dont! She never sent any preggo pics which she ALWAYS DID and when I confronted my MIL about it earlier, she just said that she wasnt showing! BS completely! My SIL started showing at about 12 weeks with her 2 kids before that, so at 20 weeks come on! Me and Toby are really pissed about this and I cant get ahold of my BIL.

Maybe she was never preggo to begin with?

I would stay out of it it is your husband''s brother right? It sounds like a lot of drama and the kind that can rip a whole family apart.

That whole things sounds odd to me...

I miscarried around 10 weeks or so and was pregnant 1 1/2 months later... but Saying she lost a baby at 20 weeks and then being pregnant 3 weeks later makes no sense.

I had a m/c at 14 weeks and ended up hemorraging because I was so far along I had to have an D & C in the end. It took three cycles before we conceived our daughter and the doctor had told us to wait that long but we tried at 2 mos. It just doesn't seem right. On the other hand we also lost one of our twins at 12 weeks and he passed naturally and our other twin is now a HH 13 year old girl. So anything is possible.
