i'm sad to have to say i miscarried our twins and had emergency d&c on tuesday. besides the emotional stress and frustration of it all, i physically feel like i want to try again asap. we have a consult with our RE next monday to see what the next step is but do any of you have any experiences/suggestions on when its okay to try again? or when can i expect AF? is it normal to want to try again right away?
thank you

Edit... Ticker warning
I have no answers, just wanted to offer support. I too was on the Dec. board. I'm going through a miscarriage right now. My Dr. said if I'm not done by Monday we would talk. Not sure what to expect... I did ask when we could start trying again, he said wait and have one cycle. I'm so sorry for your loss, Trust me I get it...
i will look later, thank you

I am so sorry for your losses.
I think they will probably say a few cycles before TTC again, however, please ask for specifics as to "why" and "what if we want to try after 1 cycle". When I did that, my doctor okayed me to TTC after 1.
I got AF 5.5 weeks after the spotting started and 4 weeks exactly to the day I fully lost the pregnancy (natural m/c).
Good luck to you.
SOrry for your losses.
I was on the dec board too.

I was also on the Dec. board. I am so, so sorry for your losses. I agree with PP on trying again. It was my biggest and best consolation to keep trying after my losses. No need to feel guilty whatsoever!

I am also from the December 2011 board... so sorry for your loss. I think it is completely normal to want to try again right away! My husband and I have decided to wait for a year, but if I am honest-- I would try again tomorrow if I could. For me, it would certainly ease the pain of this loss. I had an EP w/ surgery, and my doctor said to expect AF in 3-5 weeks. I think it may be different for a d&c? He also said to wait at least two cycles before trying again (we'll be waiting 12 cycles, and I get nervous just thinking about it).
GL to you

I was also due in December and had a natural miscarriage last night. Doctor told me both Thursday when we saw him and today on the phone that we needed to wait one cycle to try. I am ready to be pregnant again and move forward. It's amazing how quickly you get accustomed to the idea of "by Christmas we'll have our baby" and all of the other plans we made. Several times this weekend I've caught myself saying things about the baby being here, then realizing, nope! Just letting you know I can relate. Hopefully, you'll be very lucky and get pregnant as soon as you can!
Just wanted to say I'm so sorry for your loss.
Your doctor will tell you when it's best to start trying again. I had a D&C 3 weeks ago and the doctor told me that I should expect my cycle in 4 wks but I've read that it takes longer for some people. It just depend on your body. We were told to wait 2-3 cycles before trying again but again your doctor will tell you that.
As far as what's normal when it comes to wanting to try again right away...it's all depends on your normal. We plan on starting again as soon as we can so that's right away for us.
I am also on the Dec. 2011 board, but may have to leave. I am pretty sure I am experiencing a mc. I am so sorry for your loss. It doesnt matter how far long you are, it is still difficult. I do not blame you for wanting to try again asap. My husband and I even discussed that briefly today, that if this is a mc, will we start trying right away? We havent decided. Dont let anyone discourage you, go by your dr's request, and what you and your partner feel is right in your hearts. Again I am terribly sorry, my thoughts and prayers go out to you have your family.
