I wasn't seen by my PCM for my losses, I was seen by my OB/GYN clinic. It was different each time.
My first was a chemical pregnancy (where the pregnancy can only be confirmed by test but nothing was seen on ultrasound) and we were told to wait until after my next period (so, 1 cycle-ish). My second was also a chemical pregnancy and we were told we could try again that same cycle with no issues. Both of those passed naturally and I didn't have a D&C or have to take the misoprostol to pass anything.
My last was an ectopic pregnancy that was treated with methotrexate which meant that we couldn't try for at least 3 months because the drug destroys all folic acid in your body meaning that getting pregnant too soon leads to birth defects. We've actually ended up avoiding a lot longer than that because there were other medical issues.
All of that is to say that your doctor is going to be making the best call they can for you based on your medical history and the nature of your loss. A loss at 5 weeks is different from a loss at 12 and what type of loss it is (chemical vs. say a blighted ovum), and if there was a D&C or other medications involved there's often a wait period of time to let you heal. I would not start trying before I was cleared by my doctor.

I had a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks. It was completely natural. I was told I could try again as soon as I wanted. I got pregnant on my next cycle and had a healthy pregnancy.
Thanks so much! Yeah I wasn't never seen by my PCM I was only 4 weeks along (no d&c) and was told to wait 2 periods... She told me that waiting 2 periods was based on the recommendations of American Pregnancy Association. I was just curious if they tell everyone dependent that or if is it all depends on the individual.
In 2010, I had a missed miscarriage at 14 weeks. I had a D&C, and was being seen by an OB/GYN at the time. They told me to wait 3 to 6 months. I waited 3 cycles, close enough, and got pregnant right away. Good luck!
Re: How many cycles did you wait after miscarriage to TTC again
Thanks for your advice:)
