PostHeaderIcon Getting Pregnant After Miscarriage – Your Birth Control Pills May Have Been Responsible.

Is getting pregnant after miscarriage any different from getting pregnant for the first time? Well the answer to that question is yes and no.

Before I delve a little further, I want to know that what I share in this article is just one reason for having a miscarriage. To get a very good understanding and indeed prepare your body so that you can carry your next pregnancy to full term then I highly recommend Lisa Olson’s fantastic resource – “The Pregnancy Miracle”

The answer is that it is no different because surely if you are able to conceive the first time around then surely you can conceive again. All you need to do is take the exact same steps you took the first time around to conceive and you should be able to get conceive again.

The difference however is that you need to try and understand why you miscarried the first time and try to prevent it happening again.

There are many medical reasons why you may have miscarried the first time around and one of those reasons is a lack of the female hormone – Progesterone.

Most Birth Control Pills Could Lead To Spontaneous Abortions In The First Trimester.

If you were on birth control pills e.g. Depo Provera before you conceived then you may have unknowing contributed to your miscarriage.

Did you know that progesterone deficiency is actually the cause of over 90% of first trimester spontaneous abortions?

You see artificial or synthetic progesterone are not really progesterone at all. They are in fact more accurately referred to as progestin.

This hormone is so dangerous that if you are taking it (or most birth control pills for that matter) during the first stages of pregnancy there is a high probability that an abortion will occur.

This is because the progestin actually binds to the progesterone receptor much more than natural progesterone does and when it binds it actually blocks the real progesterone from providing the beneficial effects on the placenta and fetus.

As a result the baby dies from progesterone starvation.

So if you plan on getting pregnant after a miscarriage again, then make sure that you avoid all forms of birth control for at least a couple of months. This will ensure that your system is clear and clean from all the dangerous and synthetic hormones.

Needless to say, even when you are done with child bearing, birth control pills are best avoided.

Getting Pregnant After A Miscarriage is not a difficult task at all.

In fact nothing should stop you from trying right away if you are emotionally up for it. I would strongly encourage you to do so because it would take your mind off the babay you have just lost.

Unfortunately, it is a sad reality of life but miscarriages occur at a surprising high rate of about 1 in every 3 pregnancies.

It is okay to feel emotional about it!

When I lost my second pregnancy – All sorts of things kept going through my head.

Somehow I felt I could have prevented it one way or another. I even blamed myself at some point but I realised I needed to move forward and I needed to do it quickly. I needed to have something to take my mind off things and the way out for me was another pregnancy.

The truth is that your miscarriage was beyond you. Nothing you could have done would have stopped it from happening and you have to stop blaming yourself and look forward to the next one.

You need to accept that this pregnancy was simply not meant to be and look forward to the next one.

I know it can be hard to let go, especially if the miscarriage happened in the second trimester, mourn if you have to but move on.

Miscarriages happen for a number of reasons and they are:

1. Chromosomal damage

2. Immune System and antibodies

3. Medical Disorders

4. Uterine Abnormalities

5. Hormonal Problems

6. Infection

It would be impossible to explain it all depth in one post but we can talk about the most common reason for miscarriages and that is chromosomal damage. This tends to occur more in the first trimester and is where the fetus is not developing like it should and your body in its infinite wisdom knows to get rid of it.

Fortunately, miscarriages that occur due to chromosomal damage tend not to be a recurring one.
