New here.... trying to get going ASAP (trigger warning talk about loss)

I feel crazy but I just miss the feeling of a baby being inside me. I feel so empty. So purposeless. I just want to get pregnant as soon as I can. My doctor said I really have no restrictions because I have had a complete miscarriage and I didn't have to have any sort of intervention. I only miscarried probably between last Wednesday and midday Friday. I know it's soon and it won't heal the hurt I feel from losing my baby but I just want to have a baby so bad. I need something to keep going for because right now I don't feel like I have any reason to.

I am so sorry for your loss.

All doctors I have ever heard from do put people on a
minimum 2 week pelvic rest after a MC to prevent infection so I would hold off on the physically trying until you are cleared. Some track hcg down since it can take a few weeks. Hopefully cycles return with someone of a predictable pattern for you. MC tends to really mess up systems around here.

I am so sorry for your loss. I too can identify with feeling "empty" after my miscarriage. It is a horrible hopeless feeling. Speaking from almost a year out from my miscarriage, I promise you things feel a lot less dark with some time. Like @SnobunnieMel mentioned most OBs like to have you take some time off to prevent infection even after an unassisted/home miscarriage. Wishing you well.

I'm gonna call mine tomorrow but I don't remember him saying anything about that to me. I think mine was very minimal because they couldn't even see the baby on the ultrasound at any point because it stopped developing super early apparently.

I'm sorry for your loss. With my CP in June, I was told as soon as I was no longer bleeding, it was safe for me to have intercourse (although she wanted me to wait a cycle to start trying to conceive, but I think that may have been due to our plan at the time.)

I am sorry for your loss. I too feel "empty" after my natural MC at 7 weeks, and quite eager to try again soon. Just saw my doc today, had my 3rd blood draw, and recommended I wait til my hcg levels hit below 10 (last Friday was at 63), and to wait to until after my next period to try again. Though my doc said there is not hard rule you must wait til after for your next period, just for they hcg level to be under 10. Doc will call me tomorrow about the results, hoping it's under 10! 

Agreed, this board has been helpful and supportive. Try to stay positive! Hugs!
