XP: TTC first cycle after c/p?

 I had a chemical pregnancy last week and the doctor mentioned we could try this next month if we were ready or wait one more period. I would like to try again this month but  was wondering if the chances are greater for a miscarriage after the c/p. My thoughts are if we weren't trying I would have never known. But also don't want to have to go through another c/p again. I realize everyone is different and that it can happen again. I just want to give myself the best possible situation for a healthy pregnancy. I do have factor V but he said the c/p probably didn't have much to do with the disorder. I am taking prenatals, baby asprin, and folgard. Thanks!

Re: XP: TTC first cycle after c/p?

  • If your doctor gave you the ok, and you and your H are emotionally ready, I would say you are fine to TTC this month.

    FWIW, I was conceived the month after a c/p...

  • I had a c/p in April and got pregnant again right away. I was kind of nervous at first, but I've had two u/s's and all is well thus far. If you're ready to try again, I'd go for it.

  • Honestly, I think what the dr advises you has more to do with your other background (like other m/c) rather than with your chemical pregnancy.  I only say this because the same OB practice gave a friend of mine the advice to wait a cycle but told me I could try right away if I wanted to.  We had chem preg within a week of each other, but she had had a previous missed m/c and I hadn't.

    I don't think it's more of a risk, but maybe an emotional break too that they want you to have.  FWIW, we conceived my son the cycle after our early miscarriage.  We did have a nurse give us the side-eye when we had to use my m/c date as LMP, but overall, we had no issues with it.

     HTH!  Sorry for your loss and I hope you have good luck with it whenever you do decide to TTC!
