pregnancy after Currette

[Totally huggable..]

Hey all.
Im sammy i just wanted to ask it was roughly 9 weeks ago that i had my first D&C and i bled for the first day after that and i didnt have a menstrual cycle after that and ive just found out im pregnant, my question being is it it safe that ive fallen pregnant without waiting for my first menstrual cycle or am i at a higher risk of miscarrying i think im roughly 4 or 5 weeks?

Hi Sammy,

its perfectly safe, and I don't believe that this pregnancy is at any greater risk of loss in a general sense because you didn't get AF. Its a little bit like mums who BF then get pregnant without AF first....they just got lucky on the ovulation that has to occur before AF can come!

I am in the same situation, in that I had my D/C a month ago, then 6 days ago got what I thought was AF. When I went to the IVF clinic (to start blood tests for another IVF cycle) the next day, my HCG was measured as being increased. Another test 2 days later confirmed I was PG naturally.

Whether this little one will survive or not is uncertain. I am 41 so there is a risk of loss because of my age (50% I think). My little angel was diagnosed after DC with trisomy7, so this is in my mind.

I understand your fear 100%. Good luck!

Congratulations to you both...
All pregnancy's have a risk. All you can is be careful that you don't do risky things that can cause m/c.

I know that after my m/c I had alot of probs and then it took forever to get preg once I got the green light from the FS.

I know it is hard not to worry, as you have had a m/c. I had alot of problems during the preg with Miss D. Just keep thinking of the end result " the little bundle of love" That is what got me through all the hospital stays.

So I hope you have a trouble free pregnancy and a happy and healthy bundle of love at the end.

Take care
Chris
