Can a complicated Pregnancy prevent Conception? Posted: 09-07-06 10:00am
I have just miscarried at 18 weeks, this
is my second miscarriage my first being in
January this year (at 10 weeks pregnant)
both miscarriages were only found out
during scans (no signs and no apparant
cause)
I have a 16 months old who was delivered
by emergency c section after a failed
vontouse, could the scar from the c
section and the following two D&C hinder
my chances of carrying a baby
successfully? Are there any tests I should
request? and how long should I wait before
attempting to try again?
Thank you

Damage to the uterus can happen during a
prolonged and complicated first delivery
such as you experienced. This might be
the reason for the consecutive
miscarriages but will have to be confirmed
with a hysteroscopy. A hysteroscopy is an
endoscopic procedure that allows
visualization of the uterus from the
inside of the organ. If your gynecologist
decides to perform a hysteroscopy you will
have to wait a few months until you try
conceiving again.
