I just recently lost my little girl December 20th she was six months along. I had a d&c (i think that's what it's called) and am still bleeding. Now knowing that our hormones are a little confused, how fertile are women after giving birth with pcos?
I'm sorry for your loss. You were a lot further along than I was when I had my m/c (I was about 11 weeks), but I got pregnant seven weeks later -- right after my first AF. Many women seem to notice this, it's as if your body remembers being pregnant and is willing to try again. However, if you went six months, your system may be a bit different. You need to have the bleeding stop, and your doctor may want you to wait at least a cycle first.
Good luck with your attempt if that is what you want to do.
Yeah it's really weird i still have no answers yet. she made it to 26 weeks. we named her Justine violet. I know i have to wait for the bleeding, i have the nurse coming to the house to see me tomorrow i also have a doctors appt. tomorrow. The cycle thing is a little difficult i've never had one with out help. i was put on clomid to get pregnant the first time. I really don't know how it's going to play out the second time. I just wanted to know if we had a better chance afterward. i'm so scared that this could happen again.
You will always be scared. You will never have your first pregnancy again, and you will always be worried. I didn't actually believe I was pregnant the second time, and even now, at 31 weeks, something inside my head tells me this won't work out.
What did the doctor tell you about what happened with Justine? There is a big difference between first trimester miscarriages and second and third trimester pre-term births. In general, first trimester miscarriages are due to something not forming right with the baby or placenta. Once you get to about 16 weeks, loss of a pregnancy is due to something with the mother -- incompetent cervix, some infection, etc. You need to know what happened, so in future pregnancies they take the right preventative action -- a cerclage if you had IC, or progesterone shots if you had an irritable uterus, etc.
It's hard to say if you have a better chance, but you do know you have a chance. You were able to carry a baby to 26 weeks, which means that if they know what caused the early labor, you have a much better shot at the doctors being able to assist another pregnancy to term. You were able to conceive with clomid treatments, and some people note that after a pregnancy they can conceive naturally. Sometimes pregnancy seems to "reset" some bodily functions, so it may be easier for you now.
I am so sorry for your loss!! I would suggest getting a full evaluation and plan for the next pregnancy before conceiving. However, my late loss (23 weeks) did lead to one of the healthiest, shortest, most normal cycles of my life. I do think that the rest that the ovaries get during pregnancy leads to better health afterward.

Right now Justine is in Vancouver they were going to do and autospy on her and my placenta, they don't really understand either i had an ultra sound at 18weeks and and doc appt after that they said everything was great,they the saturday before the 2oth she stopped moving, and i though she was sleeping for some reason i just kept thinking she was sleeping and finally wednesday is they day they told me they couldn't find her heart beat they induced me and i had her and 12:18am on thursday. It's just so undiscribable right now one miniute it feels like i was never pregnant she was never there then it feels like she's not gone, i just don't understand why she's gone.
Well my doctors appt went well! she said as soon as the bleeding stops that my husband and i should try again if we want, but i have question how do i tell if i get pregnant when i never get a period, or when should i go to the gyno again and talk to him about clomid?

You can watch for pregnancy s/s such as: nausea in the morning/random times during the day, increased sense of smell, breast tenderness, feeling really, really "soft" around your vaginal area... etc.
Kudos on trying again....just please make sure that you have grieved as much as you need to for Justine. She WAS here, she WAS born, and for whatever reason, she just didn't get to stay long. I hope you get some answers from the tests they are running, but let me caution your hopes and say that most times we still don't know what causes "late" abortions... they just happen sometimes. I'm so sorry for your loss. If you need to chat, send me an email......
26 weeks is far enough that you should have post partem restrictions. You should not have sex for 6 weeks. I think that's pretty much standard. I am surprised your doctor would tell you to go ahead as soon as the bleeding stops.
I do think that a lot of women are more fertile following any pregnancy. I did conceive my son immediately following an early m/c.
Do take the time you need to begin healing. You'll have a lot of emotions to face once you get pregnant again. There will be fear and longing. The emotional rollercoaster ride takes a lot out of you. Good luck.
I will take my time i just wanted to know incase i made the decsion to start again. She was an amazing baby even though she was only six months along she had tons of spunk! I guess i'm just more worried about getting what i want when i can, I know I can never replace her i never want to. there will be a baby one day.

I just wanted to echo what Laura said, at 26 weeks it's no longer considered a miscarage since the baby passed the point of viability. You gave birth, unfortunately your baby was born "sleeping", you should be treated as a post partum woman.....I don't know what your doc is thinking about telling you to try again as soon as you stop bleeding, to begin with you shouldn't expect to stop until 4-6 weeks after delivery (some women even bleed longer than that!) and you should not have sex until 6 weeks after, you also should have a 6 week PP check up before you resume bedroom activities. You cervix remains open after birth and infection can be introduced into your uterus.
Wishing you luck when and if you decide to TTC again.....know that you will probably always be scared, but you can get through it and have a healthy pregnancy when you are physically and emotionally ready.
Well i'll be talking to her soon again to find out what happen to baby justine, i think i'm gonna ask her again and talk to her, also i want to be sent beack to the gyno for a second opinion before hand, I don't want something to happen a second time.
