TTC After a Loss

? about TTC after D&C

I haven't had my follow up yet, it's on Thursday.
DH and I know we want to try again as soon as possible. I obviously will ask my doctor too, but I wanted to know if anyone here had any good links on timelines for waiting. I've found mixed things, and some of what I am reading says that there is no medical reason to wait at all, aside from giving the doctor a definite date for timing the pregnancy. Frankly, if that's the only "benefit" I don't really care to wait. But if there are legitimate medical reasons, that'd be different.
Like I said, I'll be asking my primary on Thursday, but I was curious as to what others have seen and heard.

Re: ? about TTC after D&C
So sorry for your loss. There seems to be a general concensus that it is different for everybody and depends on what your doctor recommends.
Hope you get good news at your f/u appt next week:)
Little jealous as I don't get to go back for my f/u until 6 weeks out...
Your doctor will give you guidelines as to an appropriate waiting period for your body. Doctor Google has no clue what is going on with your body and therefore cannot give an accurate answer. Neither can we.
Waiting for accurate dating is just as valid as any other reason. Without that, your dating ultrasound may show you as 6w3d when in reality, based on LMP and ovulation you should be 7w6d. That would be concerning, but without anything to base your ultrasound on, you'd never know.
I really do understand where you are right now. The feeling of wanting your baby back right now is so strong. Grief is no time to make major decisions. Give your body and your heart some time to heal.

Everyone here seems to get a different answer from their Dr. Mine originally said 2-3 cycles, but then changed it to one at my f/u after an early natural m/c.
I'm sorry for your loss. I would do what your Dr. says as far as trying again. Good luck at your f/u apt.
m/c 12/25/09 (5w5d) mm/c D&C 4/9/10 (11w1d) Take home baby 2/22/11

I was told by my doctor to wait until I have one "regular" cycle after my D&C. So, I was thinking that if I get AF 4-6 weeks after my D&C, which would be the end of September, my husband and I could TTC again in October. But, I think we will wait until November or December to try so I feel not just physically but emotionally ready. Plus, my friend is getting married on October 22nd and I don't want to be constantly thinking about if I'm pregnant or not around her wedding.
I have my f/u app on Wednesday so I am going to talk with her more about TTC then. I will let you know what she says. But, like others have said, everyone is different! Good luck on TTC again and hopefully we all have good news to share soon!
Sorry for your losses.
PP's are right- it's all based on your body and your doctors opinion. Mine was very firm that I need to wait for 2 AFs so that my hormones had time to regulate since I had gotten pregnant and m/c'd and never had a normal cycle in there.
Ask you doctor and see what they say.
