Hi ladies,
I feel like a total newbie... If you had a really early loss (i.e. 5 weeks or less) how long were you told to wait to TTC? Did you have to do a follow-up with your OB?
TIA!

Re: Total newb question RE: TTC after really early loss
I lost my second at 5 weeks and my OB told me to wait a month before TTC. So I said "Crap, I was hoping you would say we didn't have to wait" and he said "Oh, well then don't wait. I just say that so that you heal emotionally but if you feel like you're ready, go ahead and try again".
And that was two years ago and I haven't been PG since. That last part has nothing to do with it, I just realized it as I was replying and wanted to say it out loud for some reason.
I think that such an early loss doesn't do much physically to prevent you from trying again. I still wouldn't wait if I had it to do over again.
