| Hi ... I miscarried at the beginning of November and we're going to try again in the new year (after we've had a full cycle). I was just wondering what the chances are of miscarrying a second time? |

thats not an easy question to answer.
some people dont miscarry again, where as others like myself go on to have 2 or 3 miscarriages or more before concieving and carrying full term. good luck for ttcing in the new year and i hope that you have a happy and healthy pregnancy when it happens ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Sorry for your loss
Statistically you are at no higher risk of having a m/c when you have had just one m/c. So that means no increased risk of a m/c after having one, but it's something like 1 in 4 pregnancies that do end in m/c. Sorry that might not have been too helpful. If you are unfortunate enough to suffer another m/c then I think they still don't do any investigations it's only once you have had three or more that they start to look into any possible problems. Lots of women have 1 then go on to have a perfectly healthy child the next time they get pregnant, myself included. Good luck in the new year, fingers crossed you get a sticky one -------------

I dont think your at a higher risk of MCing again (unless there is a reason for it, like low progesterone etc) Ive had one MC and am PG now, a friend had two and now has her son.
I am pretty sure you are more likely to MC your first pregnancy (a lot of the time people dont even know they are PG, AF is just a couple of days late etc). If you do (unfortunately) MC again if you have an understanding GP they can do some basic fundamental checks, but not all will. Gl, and I hope you fall quickly when you start TTC again, and have a sticky healthy bub  -------------
