TTC After a Loss

When to start trying again after m/c?

I just had m/c no. 2 and am really confused at when I am clear to start trying again. My doctor is saying have a regular cycle and then after that try again.....but I am hearing tons of different things. Anyone have a suggestions or info I might could use? I also am being tested for a clotting disorder that may be the cause of my m/c. Our first was an unplanned pregnancy but I am just as heatlhy and non harming to my body then as I am now....we lost baby one on Nov. 6 08 and I just m/c sat thru yesterday with no. 2 at 6w2d.. Im so confused! :/

  • I'm so sorry for your loss ((hugs))

    As far as when to try again, you'll get a ton of answers here because we were all told different things depending on our cases.  My doctor told me to have 1-2 AF and then we could start TTC.  I was 12w when I m/c

    As far as TTCing again, different doctors give different advice. I had a natural miscarriage at 6 weeks, and my doc recommended waiting one cycle, just like yours did. Other girls are told to wait 2 or 3 cycles, so it really seems to depend on the doctor (although it also seems to me like the further along that you are, the longer they recommend waiting, and that girls who get D&Cs also get longer recommendations than those with natural miscarriages - I could be wrong, that's just the impression that I get). I'd stick with your doctor's advice for now.

  • If your doctor said one cycle, I'd go with that.

    They always say to wait until at least 1 AF comes (esp with a d&c).

    meh, I just had a natural m/c and decided if doc says everything is back to normal, and I O at a normal time, I'm going for it. But, that may not be the right thing for you.  

    If your having testing done at least wait until those results come back.

  • Im so sorry for your losses. After my first m/c, we waiting one full cycle and then ttc again. The doctor said to wait two cycles. I had a CP at the beginning of the month. We are going to try again this cycle. Good luck to you!
  • Thank you all for your answers. I am truly sad when it comes to this board because I never thought my body would fail me. But....we just have to cowgirl up and realize it happened for a reason and keep on tryin'! I am so glad to hear from people that have some suggestions....please feel free to suggest away on my topic. :) Have a great day ladies!
  • When you m/c early, it seems that the dr will tell you to only wait 1-2 cycles.  I would listen to your dr, rather than everyone on here, because everyone on here lost their baby at a different stage in the pregnancy, because of various circumstances, has various medical conditions, is on various medications, etc.  i.e. I lost my baby at 18 weeks because of pprom (I was dilated and effaced, my water broke, so I had to have a d&e), therefore, I was told to wait 9-12 months before getting pregnant again. 

    Good luck!
