I was just wondering if its true that you are more fertile after m/c? I also wanted to know if you are all aware of any home remedies to prepare your body for fertilization, or to increase fertalization? I am 37 tomorrow and I am worried about my age, however my sister started to have children at 37 and has had 3 consecutive full term pregnancies. I have heard about taking baby asprin.. drinking lots of water, eating fruit and veggies.. etc, just wondering if there was anything else I can do to help me in this process of ttc again. I know it was just 2 weeks ago that I found out our baby had passed. I thougth we were 15 weeks and the baby's heart stopped at 12 1/2 weeks. I had no signs what so ever and continued weekly to grow. I am not sure what that means for my body and its healing time, but I am just trying to do what is right and help move the process along!!! thank you all for your support and advice. You are all mentioned in my prayers at night, that we all soon get a BFP!!
Also, should I continue to take the prenatal vitamins since we will be trying again??

I did continue taking my prenatals even though we weren't TTC until after my first AF post-m/c. My OB and a friend of mine who is an OB Nurse Practitioner both confirmed that you are more fertile after a miscarriage. It's our first official cycle TTC post-m/c and I ovulated right around the time I always used to. Only time will tell. Good luck! I hope you get your BFP!

Thanks Jennifer... good luck to you too!!!!

Definitely keep popping the prenatals! Other than what you mentioned, there isn't a whole lot you can do, although I think you could maybe look into some herbs. I am sure if you went to a health food store or looked online they could recommend some to help you. Sorry you are experiencing this! Good luck!

I am hoping that is true! We were given the go ahead ttc, My doctor gave me a script for folic acid since I didn't handle the prenatals.. (constipation, sorry TMI) My OB said the folic acid was the most important... just take a kids multivit like flinstones and it is like taking prenantals ... Its funny having them sit on my counter.. But if you plan to ttc you should stay on your prenatals

I wish you the best of luck when you're TTCing and I hope you get your sticky baby in your next pregnancy!

Happy Birthday!!!!!

I don't know if I was more fertile, but I think so, because we only had sex once after my mc (9 days later), and he pulled out, and I got pregnant.

Keep taking prenatals. Evening primrose oil increases your cervical mucus, but stop taking it once you ovulate.
