Mental and emotional recovery got me. I wont emotionally recover until Iâm holding our baby in my arms. I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks. It was our first pregnancy and Iâm heartbroken. Iâm 32 and worried it wonât happen for us. I feel old and regret not trying in our 20s. The people who donât want it have babies but those who want it donât. People literally smoke and drink while pregnant and they have babies. Itâs not fair.
I am so sorry for your loss
D G I am praying for you sis. Iâm not going to act like I can answer why God allowed this so I wonât. Iâm just here to comfort you. At 32, you are NOT old. It was a smart decision to wait out those 20s. I donât know about your but earlier On I wasnât ready. Better to wait and be a stellar/nurturing parent than to rush. I know youâll be a great mother because youâ were waiting till the right time to bring a baby into the right atmosphere. Some folks are selfish and will bring a baby that they put on everyone else to care for into ANY situation. You care and thatâs a good mother! Say a prayer over your belly, your husband and the new baby that youâll be holding in your arms. When doubt comes, shift those thoughts n2 the smell of the new baby, that 3rd happy trimester, a
Smooth labor n delivery ect. Take a leap of faith and buy something for this new baby. Like a blanket or a bottle AND youâre prenatal vitamins as a faith move. Affirm daily of how happy you are now that you are holding your healthy full term baby. Praying for you and hope to hear your testimony soon!
â@@ChangedUpNowWhat. Thank you.
iâm also 32 have had a child 9 yrs ago and have been trying for a year really now and october and in december i had my first miscarriages. They were both under 8 weeks but i think due to stress in my life like my environment. right now iâm trying and am currently 4 days late for period . Going in monday for a blood test because I had two negative home tests walgreens test on my 3rd day late period .
I wish you the very best of luck , donât give up keep trying ; itâs stressful iâm learning to not stress because it may be causing issues . after having miscarriages itâs very very hard not to be paranoid when in the bathroom seeing anything red . itâs very stressful keep positive mind
Same exact situation Iâm 33! Never had a baby but finally got pregnant and it was a blighted ovum. Ate super clean and did everything right. Did some genetic testing and figured we
Mightâve found something that caused it
Last week I miscarried my 8th child at 9wks and 6days. There are just some clubs moms NEVER wanna be involved in & although I have 7 beautiful healthy kids , for my family this loss is just incalculable.
In spite of my grief tho, I am looking forward to trying again. Even though I am 42. I got unexpectedly pregnant at 42 so why not? This video helped in more ways than one. Thank you.
I pray for all the mamas who know this pain. May our futures be blessed and bright.â€
I actually started watching your channel to learn more about IVF and saw this video and decided to watch as I have had 3 miscarriages. My first miscarriage was in Oct 2021 then got pregnant in Jan 2022 and had a baby girl. We started trying again and got pregnant in April 2023 and again in May 2023 which unfortunately both ended in miscarriages. With getting this news 3 different times I feel like some providers have said it so much they have lost the concern when they say it. But listen to your video I could feel that you truly are sorry for our losses. I plan on getting your book you mentioned. We are currently waiting on the genetic testing results to come back but I was thinking about perusing IVF to hopefully prevent another miscarriage.
Iâm so sorry for your losses. Best wishes to youâ€ïž
This video just made me feel so much better. I just suffered a miscarriage at just under 8 weeks with my very first pregnancy. Devastated is an understatement but your video helped put me at ease.
â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
You've touched on all the salient points. Thank you
Thank you so much for watching!
Can you do a video on baby aspirin during pregnancy? We just did genetic testing and I was told Iâd need that for my next pregnancy as Iâve lost my first pregnancy
Thank you for this video! It made me feel so much better. I appreciate you!! I hear a lot about a Myo & D-Chiro Inositol supplement. Would you recommend this/be okay with this to support healthy hormone levels post MC when wanting to try again? I am looking at the Wholesome Story brand. I am going to ask my doctor, just wanted to get your opinion? Thank you again đ This was so comforting and made me feel so validated in my feelings.
Hi Dr. Shahine,
I am hoping for clarity.
At 8:32ish in your vid, you say "if you're not getting a period and it's been 6-8 weeks after your miscarriage..." do you mean after the miscarriage or after the pregnancy has been resolved? Everything I've read or heard has timeframe said in this way either to ovulation or period, but I'm not clear what event I'm counting from.
I feel like my miscarriage (8w4d, missed, medically induced) is hard to count from, since it was a few days before it was found and then took a while for everything to completely pass. But I know, say, when my hCG level went below 5. So would I count from (approximately) the date of the estimated fetal death, the date I took the medications, the date hCG was below 5, or something else?
I cant tell you how helpful and calming this video was. I am currently going through one and this made me feel heard, normal and utmost hopeful.
Glad it helped Shelby!
This video really made me feel much better and my wife just saw her period đ. she can't wait to try again
Do you have any videos on Chronic Endometritis and treatment? Just experienced 3 miscarriages and my biopsy showed this. Was already treated with doxy once and still have itđźâŠIs it curable?
Thank you you this video helped me a lot. I just had a miscarriage at 8 weeks. Keep it up
I am so sorry for your loss. I appreciate your kind words. Thank you for watching
I had miscarriage last December at 8w3d. Today, I woke up with a period after getting 6positive pregnancy test almost 2w ago which is a biochemical pregnancy. Heartbroken is an understatement.
I'm so sorry for what you're going through.
It was my 4 weeks of pregnancy that it showed only in my blood test Beta HCG and urine i had miscarriage with spotting even i didnât feel the miscarriage symptoms when i had spotting dr prescribed me progesterone and after 5 days getting progesterone injection i had my period now im confused that is it possible to get pregnant or to plan for another pregnancy that soon
Got pregnant after 5 years of trying unfortunately my doctor diagnosed at 7 weeks -12 weeks abnormalities in the head đđđthey recommended me for an abortion..... its heartbreaking đđđđđđđđđđđi am shocked sad and heartbroken. I am 31 years old .... now i wondrr how long i will take again to get pregnant and to healthy baby.
I had Excruciating Tooth Pain The Doctor Prescribed me Amoxicillin And Naproxen⊠I didnât know I was Pregnant at the time⊠Now I have Miscarriedđđą Was it the Pills???? PLEASE RESPOND!!!
Dear Dr. Shahine.
Thank you so much for this video. đ in fact for all of them. â€ïž
Can you please make a video or post on if there is a missed miscarriage when and why do the body decides to let the embryo go?
When you donât go to have a D&C and wait it out, why do the body decides to start the actual miscarriage when it starts? Would it depend on HCG and progesterone levels dropping to a certain point?
Than if itâs not a missed miscarriage just a spontaneous one why does the body lets the baby go with still high HCG and progesterone numbers? I would like to understand the biology or chemistry of this.
I am now third week waiting for it to start. Heartbeat has stopped at 9weeks. This is my second missed miscarriageâŠ. đ„ș
I am so sorry for your losses! Passing the miscarriage is a combination of hormone changes, immune changes, and time. It can differ person to person and pregnancy to pregnancy - we are still learning so much about pregnancy and lossâ€ïž
Iâve never been pregnant or had a miscarriage and Iâm not pregnant now(donât even have a partner yet and Iâm about to turn 25), but Iâve been preparing for whenever it happens(thatâs just been my thing, ever since I was a teenager, Iâve been like "I want to prepare for everything motherhood brings, both the good and the bad, I want to prepare for loss, I want to prepare for multiples, just everything") and I feel like I would be quick to emotionally recover from a pregnancy loss cause Iâve had significant emotions before, albeit not from a loss, and Iâve quickly recovered from those. But I also donât feel like trying right away would be right for me. I feel like Iâd want to make sure Iâve went through 1 full menstrual cycle first, so basically whenever my post-miscarriage period comes, I start tracking in case my cycle changes after miscarriage and when I have my second period after miscarriage, thatâs when Iâd want to start to try again. That way, I know for sure that my uterus has healed up and is ready. And it would also give me more time to emotionally heal if I need to.
Best wishes to youâ€ïž
I was working when i had my early pregnancy miscarriage. Im pregnant again, I can afford to bed rest if that is beneficial, is it? Thank you Dr. Lora

Can a blood type be a factor
It's like that, no matter if youâre 40 or whatever, after reading Dobbie Nerkstrol's guide, I ended up pleasantly surprised. Within 60 days anyone can get pregnant, feeling the changes in your body the first few weeks. After goâogling her I understood it's not a miracle kind of thing like the title suggests, but you can bet you'll boost your chances.
Can you talk about ectopic pregnancy
Hello Dr. I had miscarriage in 5th week and I want to conceive again plz tell me when to try again
I'm so sorry for your loss. I would advise you to consult your medical provider
I read somewhere that you need to wait 3 months before trying again because there's a higher risk of miscarriage. I had miscarriage at 6 weeks, it was fully controlledbby the doctors, I took blood tests every few days to make sure everything was okay, and I prayed not to get a D&C because I read about the consequences and I didn't want to go through these. Fortunately, everything went well, I finally got my less than 5 hcg test result, then after a couple of weeks I got my period. And then I met my husband, he's in the military, so we have a long distance relationship. We had intercourse after my period, presumably somewhere around my ovulation and we tried to be careful but we were not. I got scared because I immediately thought, if I get pregnant now, there's a higher risk of having miscarriage again but I so don't want to take Plan B pills. So I googled the info and it turns out some doctors even recommend not to wait too long! Glad I found this video. Definitely a relaxed sigh from me â€
Thank you so much for watching and for sharing you story with us â€ïž
Doctor I have had 3 misscarriges in this this same year, can I try again this same year ???
Yes - most people can try again soon after loss but please consider consult for evaluation to see if there are any causes â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
The doctor told me that it may be because the uterus opens by it self due to over weight.

Hello I just had my 15 week miscarriage 2 months agođ the hardest thing I had to go through wanted to check how are you doing? And if you tried again to have baby đ
@jessicabee4032 hey Jessica! I am doing so much better. I came to peace with her loss about 2 months postpartum and started trying again when I felt mentally ready at 3 months postpartum. I am currently 30 weeks with a healthy baby boy. I wish you nothing but the best and praying for you during this time.
Omg thank you so much for replying back Ive been trying to find someone that has been through the same thing same week.. omg that makes me so happy and give me hope thank you so much if you donât mind me asking did you change anything this time prenatals? Did you add vitamins or anything different đ
â@jessicabee4032 You're so welcome! I've been there so I know exactly what you're feeling. At that time I wish i knew what I knew now. You will get through this! The only thing I did differently was change prenatal, and I started taking low dose asprin at 10 weeks. I am taking Thorne basic prenatal and Thorne dha. I've always drank alot of water but currently I consume approx 80oz of water daily. I truly wish you the absolute best! If you have anymore questions I'm happy to help
