How soon after m/c can we start another treatment cycle (IUI)?

Hello ladies,

I was 6 weeks PG after a good IUI cycle (with stims + trigger), and now sadly it's over.   

I'm not seeing my RE again for a week, and will ask him then, but I wonder how soon we can try again?  I am still bleeding (sorry, TMI), but since I don't ovulate/have periods on my own, do we still wait out the customary 1-2 cycles?   How do they determine that, if you don't get a period by yourself?

Thanks and just wondering if anyone has experience in this :(

  • I only had to wait 1 cycle after my MC, but thats because it was taking so long for my beta to go to 0 and then I had to take Provera to get another period.  My body was so confused.  I was tired of waiting and asked if we could start early with IVF #2 and they said yes.  So, here we are on our second cycle.  History is in my siggy.  I'm so sorry for your loss, but hopefully you can cycle again soon!

  • My RE didn't make us wait, bc they followed my betas down to zero.

    Did u have a D&C?  I could have gone right into another IVF, but personally chose to wait.

  • My RE made us wait 1 cycle after our D&C (which never came since I don't get AF on my own). I ended up waiting 2 months.

    I have a friend who miscarried at 6 weeks and was able to go straight into another cycle and got another BFP. She was on Clomid only so she's another story.

  • I am not sure how long you would have to wait but I am so sorry for your loss!  Hopefully next round will do the trick!

  • I'm not sure for you since you don't ovulate on your own.  For me, I had a d&c and he wanted me to get a regular period once on my own before starting again. He allowed me on my second period to start my iui. It took me almost 60 days to get my first post d&c period.  The waiting was torture.  I am so sorry for your loss.
