When did you start TTC after a late loss?

We just had a 21 week loss (well 20-ish weeks but he was born at 21 weeks). I want to TTC again right away.

How long did you wait before TTC after your late loss?

    I am so sorry for your loss!  I hope that you find some solace in this board during this tough time, the ladies here are all great.

    As far as ttc ...eeryone is different, most ladies' drs recommend waiting 1-3 cycles after a loss before ttc, but for many, it just depends on when you are emotionally ready.  For me, we tried again right way after the 1st loss, but had to wait about 6 months after the 2nd to get tesing/surgery done to fix internal issues that most likely caused the m/cs.  Whatever you decide is what is right for you.

    I just have to say that I just noticed your subject said "late loss" my losses were much earlier than yours, so I'm sure you are in a different place, but hopefully your dr will say that you can ttc soon if you are ready for it.  GL!

    I am so sorry for your loss.  It is something no mother should have to go through and I hope that God gives you strength to get through this.

    I also lost our baby boy at 20 weeks.  It was devastating and my dr told me to wait at least three full cycles before we try again.  I wanted to try again right away but after I look back on it I am glad because it takes that long for you to get through it emotionally. 

    I had some bleeding issues after our loss so we weren't able to try again until Jan and we lost our baby in august so I had time to mentally prepare myself but it all depends on your situation.  After we were given the OK it took two months of trying to actually become pg again.  Hang in there and let your mind and body rest.

    I know how badly you want to be pregnant again - I was there - but you do need to give your body time to heal before you plan on carrying another child.

    Again I am SO sorry for your loss and hope that you come here and let these ladies get you through it.  They are the only reason I had so much strength going through it all. ((HUGE HUGS)) to you.

    I am so sorry to hear about your sweet little Dylan. 

    I had a late loss as well.  I delivered Noah at 22 weeks.  My doc told us that as soon as AF came we would be given the green light to TTC again.  I was lucky because AF took pity on me and came after 34 days.  We are currently in our 2nd cycle back. 

    I am sorry that you're here, but I truly hope that you stick around.  Talking to these wonderful women has truly helped me. 

    Welcome to the best group of women you hoped you would never have to meet!

    I"m so sorry for your loss.  We lost our baby at 17 weeks.  The dr wanted us to wait 3 months before ttc again.  I've ended up with complications and should get the all clear soon.
