I had a missed- miscarriage recently at 8 weeks pregnant. I went for an early ultrasound because I had some brownish discharge. I had no pain or bleeding so when the sonographer told me that I was miscarrying it came as a huge shock because I was still experiencing pregnancy symptoms and never believed that anything was wrong. It was deemed to be a missed- miscarriage as my body had not yet recognised that the embryo had stopped developing and I was still having symptoms.
This took a huge toll on me emotionally and physically as I had to have medical management to help the process along. I feel better now and have had my first menstrual cycle post miscarriage. Emotionally I am ready to try again and I have been doing all that I can to ensure that my body is ready. I’m taking a prenatal vitamin, trying to eat healthy, cut out caffeine and drinking milk every day. I’m also praying as it has given me great comfort through a difficult period.
If you have any advice for me on what I should or shouldn’t do I’d be grateful. Are there any specific prayers I can say? Would you recommend I use an ovulation kit? I am desperate to be pregnant again and the only thing which keeps me going is the fact that it didn’t take me very long to fall pregnant in the first place. I am hoping it will be the same again.
I am in the exact same boat as you. I was pregnant three weeks ago for the first time but miscarried at 7 weeks. It all happened so fast because I started bleeding heavily like a period all of a sudden out of no where one day after dinner and it got worse while I was at the hospital. I have been feeling much better since and its still early so I am waiting for my normal cycle to begin again before trying. There are different opinions about when to start trying again but everyone says wait at least till after your first cycle after the miscarriage so the waiting period isn’t fun. Do as your doctor says. To help time go faster I have been better preparing myself as well like trying to eat healthier and taking prenatal vitamins (but I do forgot those a lot) but just staying positive because I also got pregnant very fast AH. Try not to think about it so much and just stay happy. Things will happen for you again Inshallah but you also want to make sure you give your body enough time so not to complicate anything for the next time.
Thanks for your replies ladies. I’m sorry to hear about your losses. I didn’t realise how common miscarriages were until I started reading up about it. The nurses at the early pregnancy unit were very helpful and advised that waiting one menstrual cycle was enough and that I could try again after that. They said they only really advise to wait one cycle to make it easier to date the pregnancy. Sometimes it’s hard to stay positive because I see pregnant ladies everywhere and then I think to myself that I would have been this many weeks and I would have had a small bump by now
I keep reminding myself that this is a test from Allah SWT and I should remain patient and have faith. If anyone knows of any specific prayers I’d be grateful if you could share them.
Lots of prayers for all you ladies. Sometimes when you have multiple miscarriages there is a medical reason for it ( I know that’s not the case for the OP). Just try when the doctor says its ok to do so. A lot of people I know went through these and carried successful pregnancies to term later on. Hugs to all of you.
