Question aobut TTC after a miscarriage.

Are you more fertile BECAUSE you where pregnant? I have heard you are fertile after a d/c, what about after a miscarriage?

Also, where do you get the loss counter blinkies?

After an D&C you cannot have sex for 2 weeks because of risk of infection, also they take all your uterine lining, so the fertile thing post D&C is not true. You have to wait 2 weeks to even have sex, and also you have to wait for your lining to be thick again for the baby to implant.

After a natural miscarriage youre more fertile (rumor has it). Not 100% sure why, i think it is because your body still has some of the hormones surging through it and your body is already amped up for pregnancy.

I believe lilypie.com has some miscarriage tickers, and so does tickerfactory.com.

Thank you for answering. I was wondering about the fertility thing. AND I need to go get a ticker. I am premature in coming here, I know.........I am miscarrying as we speak an 8wker with no fetal heartbeat.

I am so sorry you are going through this. I don't know about the being fertile after m/c. Like Eleysia said, you're not supposed to have sex for a couple weeks due to infection risks, so I wouldn't bank on that. Again, I am so sorry for what you are going through.

Lilypie.com has the tickers that I have used.

Im so sorry that youre going through this, i also am sorry if i cam across harsh at all. I was at work and rushing my reply because i had a meeting to go to

I really hope that everything goes quickly and without complications for you.

If you need anything please feel free to ask.
