TTC After a Loss

Intro and Question
Hi ladies! I'm really excited to join you! I had a m/c August 4 and AF arrived today, so we'll be TTC in a few weeks!
My question is about Clomid. My OB had prescribed it to me and I was waiting on my period when we got our BFP last time. My husband wants me to take the Clomid this month because he wants a LO so badly. Several people have told me that the body is more fertile after a m/c and that the body knows what its supposed to do now. Is that a load of bull? Would you take the meds or let nature take its course?

Remembering Evelyn and raising Bailey

BFP# 2 Delivered 6wks early due to preeclampsia
I'm sorry for your loss, but welcome to the board.
For me it would depend on how long I was TTC before the last BFP and what the reason for getting the clomid was (no O, late O, low progesterone,etc.)
I don't necessarily think that I would skip it based on the "you are super fertile post-m/c" theory, but more because you were just pregnant w/o clomid, so obviously it is possible. I would want to know what the reasoning behind taking it is if you can get KU without it.
Yep. This. All of it. Schwartz is wise
Welcome to the board! I hope you enjoy your stay!
BFP #3 via cancelled IUI ~ C (2lb 3oz; HELLP) 5/16/11
BFP #4 via the natural (free!) way ~ E (8lb 11oz) 9/13/12
I think the "fertile after is bull" than again I am never fertile.. so what do I know.
With being on clomid please ake sure you are monitored, clomid is not candy. All I have to say about it.

If this is the reason, then I would probably take it. GL!
Welcome to the board! I don't have anything to add to the Clomid responses, but good luck.
I've heard the whole m/c helps fertility thing and I hope it's true, but I have a sinking feeling it's not. I have read that you're more likely to conceive if you try within 6 mos of a m/c, as opposed to waiting, but that could just be that the longer you wait (especially if you have fertility issues) the harder it might be.

Yay for AF arriving! I also just had my first AF yesterday since my d&c.
GL to you and I hope your stay here is short and sweet!
I'm super jealous that your AF arrived! I'm so sorry that you're here, hopefully it's not for long! I don't know anything about clomid, so I'm no help there.
