Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hello Meenu,
Hope u r doing fine. I don't have a great news. I did my u/s 10 days back and they said they were not able to see the foetus in the sac. They asked me to wait for a week and asked me take a beta hcg and see whether the level increases. I did take and it seemed to increase. When I went yesterday for u/s again, the were unable to see the foetus and the sac was empty. They said it is called blighted ovum, ie. the pregnancy has occured but the foetal growth hasn't taken place. They also said that my hcg didn't increase to what it is supposed to be. They asked me to go for D&C. First we were devasted. But after approaching it in a more positive way we have taken an appoinment for D&C. Maybe God have something else in reserve for us. I have a question for u after how many cycle after D&C did u conceive again? Thanks in advance.... Meenu replied. Hi Wannabeparents,

I am so sorry for your loss. I can understand what you will be going through. I always believe that God gives what we deserve at the right time. The time was not right for you now i guess. Trust in Him and you will have what you want.

You need to take good care of yourself after D&C. It is advisable not to lift heavy weights and to eat healthy. Generally Doctors advise to wait for 2 to 3 cycles after the D&C. This is more for emotional come back.

In my case, I usually have irregular cycle. It varies between 30 to 40 days every month. We waited for exactly 3 months after D&C and then started trying. You can also give yourself 3 months time or if you feel healthy enough you can start trying after 2 cycles. But your doctor will be the best person to tell you based on your health condition.

Do not keep worrying yourself, this will spoil your cycles and not good for your future. Just keep one thing in mind. In many cases, becoming pregnant is the most difficult thing. But once you are pregnant, the medical field is so advanced they can try their best to protect the baby. After this pregnancy you can be sure you do not have any problem becoming pregnant. That should be a big relief.

Wish you all the very best and I will definitely pray to God for you. I am confident that you will come back to your other name \";parents2be\"; very soon.

Take good care.

Cheers,
