I've been trying to figure out what's going on. I had a miscarriage back in December 2014, and my doctor mentioned it was due to a viral infection with terms like cytomegalovirus and Rubella igG coming up, and something about HSV 12 igG too. After a TORCH profile test, my gyno told me to wait six months before trying again, but it's been eight months now, and I still can't get pregnant despite following all the doctor's instructions. I'm feeling pretty worried and wondering what steps I should take next. Any advice on what I might be missing?

Consider a follow-up appointment with your gynecologist to reassess your fertility and discuss further testing, such as ovulation tracking, semen analysis, and hormonal evaluations, to identify potential underlying causes for delayed conception; also, ask about additional blood tests to check for immunity to cytomegalovirus and other infections, and explore options like fertility supplements, lifestyle modifications, or fertility treatments like IUI or IVF.

How do miscarriages look?

Bleeding may start as light spotting, or it could be heavier and appear as a gush of blood. As the cervix dilates to empty, the bleeding becomes heavier. The heaviest bleeding is generally over within three to five hours from the time heavy bleeding begins.
