I found out this past Wednesday (11/6) that I've had a miscarriage. Next Wednesday (11/13/13), I will have a D&C... Anyone else have a m/c with lapband? How long after m/c did you get pregnant again? This isn't my first miscarriage but we've tried for 5 yrs and finally got pg again and really having a hard time with accepting it.

So very sorry to hear of your loss. I can't help with questions about miscarriages and the band but I did go through two miscarriages many years ago and I know how devastating it is to go through.

I know of many bandsters who became pregnant with the band and carried to term. I don't think there's any correlation, and certainly no data reflecting % of bandsters pregnancies resulted in m/c.

I'm sorry for you loss. Due to your history did you use progesterone? If not, talk to doc next time you conceive- every little bit helps.

Again, so sorry hon

This Doctor refused to test me for progesterone. I had to take it with my other pregnancies but this new dr said that there is not a correlation between low progesterone and miscarriages This is one reason I will be searching for another doctor as soon as I am cleared medically.

Yes! I would find a new doctor if he doesn't listen to your past history! I'm so sorry for your loss

I agree with hazel that I don't think your band would matter in terms of affecting a pregnancy or changing how soon you want to start trying. I always read trying as soon as possible was better in terms of fertility but you really need to do what is best for you mentally!

Good luck <3

I am so sorry for your loss I have had 6 M/C's in my past and each one were difficult to except. I am currently expecting baby # 3 and just with experience I believe trying as soon as your mentally ready is a good thing. I waited a cycle then started back right away. I only did that so I could date the pg properly and the HCG draws. I def would find a new Dr. I was with the fertility clinic for both DD and DS and this pg was a total shock.....No progesterone or IUI or clomid! All natural...
