Because I need more uncertainty when TTCAL...

My doctor said it was OK to try after one cycle.  I have been aprehensive but open to the idea of trying to get pg this cycle.  My first AF post mc was horrible - long and heavy, but it ended and DH and I finally got to have some sexy time again.  There was nothing out of the ordinary until yesterday, I passed a small clot, brief pink spotting afterward, and thats it.  No cramps.  It didn't really bother me until it happened again this morning with a slightly larger clot.  Likewise, just a bit of pink spotting, didn't last, no cramps. 

Would this make you think twice about TTC this month?    I feel like my body is just expelling the last of the junk in there, but the idea of leftovers makes me wonder if I should wait longer....  Anyone have a similar experience?

    That is such a difficult decision. I think you have to be ready emotionally, but if you feel like you are-- do you chart? (I am so sorry if you've already talked about this and I don't remember.)

    If you don't, I would encourage you to, and if you do then I'd say give it a cycle and see what your body tells you. I say this because my m/c cycle I didn't ovulate, and this past cycle I did ovulate but I found out through charting that I think I might have a progesterone issue. I would just be frustrated and without a plan if I hadn't charted. ;)

    I think I would check with your doctor and let them know about the clot.  Unfortunately it's possible that you have retained some tissue and they may need to do an u/s to confirm that everything is clear.  Hope you get some answers soon.

    Was it a natural MC or D&C?  With my most recent loss it was natural and the way they determined we could try again was US to make sure "everything" cleared out and then once my levels reached zero so we were allowed to try before first AF. HTH

    I have never charted.  I got pregnant quickly with DS, and I was not trying to get pregnant on the cycle that we had the mc.  I'm afraid I would become OCD over charting, so I'm weary about starting.

    My betas reached zero over a week ago, and at my f/up exam, the doctor declined to do a u/s because she thought things were going so well with my body taking care of the mc.  I may consider the doctor if this continues over the next couple of days...

    Sigh.  I'm going to give this one to God.  Maybe we won't TTC but we won't TTA this cycle either.  What will be will be.
