My Miscarriage

Such an emotional topic huh? Yeah. I have had three miscarriages (which are also called spontaneous abortions) and when I think about those women that have had more than three, my heart does nothing but break even more.

            I had always had a difficult time in conceiving, going back to my teenage years. Yes, I had purposely tried to get pregnant back in the day because that was the “in” thing to do, and yes, that was a tactic to keep the roaming eye of the father from venturing too far away. One doctor told me after I had repeated attempts in my 20’s to conceive, that he could offer me a little pill that would tell my brain to get to work, or something to that effect. I refused his advice, never getting a second opinion. I didn’t want a pill telling my brain anything, especially when it came to the reproductive area.

A latest study conducted by the (Canadian Medical Association Journal) has shown that a 68% increase in the overall risk of miscarriage in pregnant women who are using antidepressants.To avoid depression an estimated 3.7% of women are using antidepressants in their first trimester. Medical experts have discovered that discontinuing treatment can result in a depressive relapse which can put mother and baby at risk.This latest study is revolutionary in  sense since previous studies on the use of antidepressants in pregnancy did not look at miscarriages as a main outcome, had small samples and several showed contradictory results. On this particular study a large group had been used to determine the association between antidepressant use in pregnancy, including classes, types and doses, and the risk of miscarriage.The researchers from the University of Montreal and the CHU Ste-Justine examined the data on 5124 women in Quebec from a large population-based cohort of pregnant women who had clinically verified miscarriages up to 20 weeks of gestation and a large sample of women from the same Registry who did not have a miscarriage.Based on their study, of those who miscarried, 284 (5.5%) had taken antidepressants during pregnancy.They also discovered that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), especially paroxetine and also venlafaxine were associated with increased risk of miscarriage as were higher daily doses of either antidepressant. As well, a combination of different antidepressants doubled the risk of miscarriages.With their discovery medical experts advised women to refrain from using antidepressants during pregnancy.

No woman dreams about having a miscarriage. A lot of women who have experienced a miscarriage prefer not to give it another shot. The following facts on how to get pregnant fast after a miscarriage will be very beneficial especially for those who want to conceive again.

Cigarette is very dangerous for our body. It doesn’t actually do anything good. In case you are still a smoker, then you are predisposing yourself to having another miscarriage, as well as exposing your incoming baby from developing congenital abnormalities. You should also warn your partner about this.

In the story I’m writing, one of the three main characters suffers from severe depression, exacerbated by her 6th miscarriage — she has 7 children. A convert to Catholicism, she and her husband do not believe in any birth control except the rythym method. She is 47, lower middle class, grew up poor on a small scratch farm in the the mountains of Virginia, and now lives in Northern Virginia. Depression and mental illness run in her family.

the doctor advise 3-6 months but my freinds said 1 month after my regular period is good, im puzzled………..

what shall ido……….can i go ahead or should i wait for my september menses…… i,m goin through depression now..
i want baby dust……………………………….. those ladies out there who had miscarriages please share with me your views………………

Im so lost can anyone give me some tips on how to get through this. It through me into a deep depression and I just cant get out. Please help me!

I miscarried early this week (almost 7 weeks along). I must say, I never knew how heart-wrenching the whole process would be or how incredibly alone I would feel. My mother and cousin have both been through it, but they both had children before their loss (at least they had a little face smiling at them when it was over).
My question is whether to try again as soon as I ovulate or wait for at least one cycle to pass. I understand why physicians recommend waiting, but I am bipolar and have been off my meds for 6 months now. I understand that waiting and being patient is essential for conception, but the depression I had before the miscarriage was heavy and now I’m fearful of what the aftermath of this loss will trigger.
I guess my questions are these: is it safe to try again? am I more likely to miscarry a second time if there was no time between miscarriage and conception? are you really more fertile for that 3-4 weeks following a miscarriage? has anyone else had to deal with being off of medications while ttc? I appreciate the advice.

I have been really depressed probably for the past 2 weeks. I just dont care about anything. I can barely work. I can barely get up each day. just want to sleep sleep sleep.

my husband is all offended because I basically am what he thinks “ignoring” him or something to that affect. I told him I am very depressed (i have chronic depression, had a recent miscarriage) but all I hear about is how it affects HIM and basically I treat him like crap. he has PTSD and other issues so you would think he would understand or try to help… but all I hear are complaints. I also have chronic pain

I am on medication and have been for year. It helps some but I am done with seeing doctors and therapist because it only helps temporarily.
