Can I get pregnant after a d&c ?
I had a dc done on oct 15 I lost a baby when I was 16 weeks pregnant and ever since then I been trying, I’m charting my bt and I calculating when I ovulate and I’m takin my prenatal vitamins and stop eating fast food. One thing is I never went back for a checkup since then since I feel like its my dr fault I lost it I been putting back on seeing the dr. I also feel into a depression so serious that I lost my government job can depression be a reason why I’m not getting pregnant are am I trying to hard are did something go wrong with the d and c help I’m going crazy
Thanks I am looking for a doctor as well but I want to go more naturally so I’m looking for a midwife around me.

If you don’t like your doctor, get a new one, because only a doctor can answer this question for sure.
try not to over think it
spend sometime with loved ones and get back to your doctor.
best of luck
My advice is: find a new doctor, one you feel comfortable with.
Stressing over it doesn’t help things at all. Relax! Keep trying and keep your hopes up – it will happen for you again.
ive seen movies about this… the woman always dies depressed. you struggle so hard for a baby, why not adopt one? and at the same time just stop takin pills or w.e and just relax and be happy you will be such a great mother
I am so very sorry for your loss. It was tragic to lose your pregnancy. And then to lose your job as well, I cannot even imagine the stress you’re under.
I think it is very important that you find a new doctor. You need somebody who will listen to you and advise you. If you don’t trust your old doctor, find a new one.
All that being said, stress can certainly interfere with you getting pregnant. Maybe it is your body’s way of protecting you. Maybe you should get fully healed — October wasn’t that long ago. At the very least, you need to heal your heart.
Yes you can, I’ve had 2 due to miscarriages & swore I won’t ever try again but today I now have a 5mth old keeping me on my toes, so yes you can get pregnant after the surgery.
You may be stressing yourself too much & partly the reason why you aren’t conceiving. You’re telling your body to do too many things at the same time & I feel it needs a time out. Go for your checkup, continue to take your meds & eating right and most importantly try to relax. Hope things work out for you.
You sound just like I did! I lost my baby at 17 weeks pregnant. It was a missed miscarriage, where the baby had died weeks before, but my body wouldn’t/couldn’t reject the pregnancy on its own. I had a D&C done for it (I had a further two more thanks to some other issues too).
The short answer is YES, you can fall pregnant (I now have two children). You’re meant to be more fertile after a D&C, and the fact that you’ve been pregnant means you can.
Try, try and try again. Keep charting if you want to. If you haven’t fallen pregnant within 12months then see your Doctor as there could be another reason.
And don’t blame the Doctor, its no ones fault, especially not yours. And it will get better, trust me
I too sunk into depression to a degree. It hurts, and you want a child so so much more than before.
Just for the record. I lost one exactly like you did, and went on to have a healthy boy, then a few years later a healthy girl. I didn’t suffer any more miscarriages.
Relax…and listen to yourself….everything happens for a reason….I know that you want a baby and know that you want to give that baby everything you can….your feeling depression and you you just lost your job. You will be blessed with a baby when everything is right. I Wish you the best of luck!
