Ok I am doing some reading how how long to wait to TTC again ( I am not still waiting for 1st AF after m/c 7 weeks ago...)
But it seems to be all across the board just depending on who the Dr is. So how many of you ladies really listened to your Dr and waited the exact amount they said?
How many had a few Ooops before the AOK? (like it got hot and heavy one night and you forgot projection)- were you nervous? scared?
Re: Ok do tell how many really waited?
#1 BFP 1/10/11; missed m/c discovered 7w5d
IF Dx: Endo, hetero MTHFR mutation, poor morphology
#1 IUI: 1/18/12 = BFN
#1 IVF/ICSI 4/2/12 = 2 x 7-cell and 1 x 5-cell transferred (3dt) = BFP!!
H was born at 41w2d on 12/29/12 - be still my heart!
#2 IVF/ICSI 1/19/14 = 2 x 8 cells transferred (3dt) = BFP!! EDD 10/09/14
M&W born at 37 weeks on 9/18/14 - I am the momma of 3 boys!!!
You are correct, the amount of time before TTCAL is going to be different for each person. I don't always think it's so much about the doctor though, I think it's more about the patient. The doctor is going to take into account your individual circumstances (how far along you were, pre-existing conditions, etc.)
I get the desire to TTCAL right away and go against doc's orders (on cycle #6 of doc ordered hold myself), but it's never a good thing to go against their orders. If you are questioning it, call them up and ask. To me, it's not worth the risks. Should I go against her orders and get pg only to have another m/c, I couldn't live with the "what if's."
♥BFP #1 "Spawn"- 02/23/11 | EDD: 11/01/11 | natural m/c 03/20/11 @7w5d♥
♥BFP #2 "Offspring"- 11/10/12 | EDD: 07/25/13 | incomplete m/c 12/14/12 @8w1d | D&C 12/21/12♥
♥BFP #3 "Progeny" - 02/16/15 | It's a BOY!! | EDD: 10/17/15 | BD: 10/23/15♥
All AL Always Welcome
BFP #1 mm/c at 12w1d
My Dr. gave us the go ahead after my 1st AF to TTC again. I listened 100% to her orders. She is the one who went to school for this and is the professional. I wouldn't go against it, but that's just me. I'd rather listen to the experts and play on the side of safe.
I know everyone's stories are different as far as their losses go, so some Dr.'s will tell people different time frames, depending on their seperate situations.
If my Dr. told me to wait and I had an "Oooops before the AOK." - Hell yeah I'd be nervous! There's a reason your Dr. told you to wait...
Good luck and FX for you if this is your situation and you're not talking "hypothetically" just out of curiosity.
This.

After my 1st m/c (D&C...missed m/c @ 12 wks, 6 wks growth) - I was told to wait 2 cycles & had full intent to do so. At that time I was not in tune with my body & ovulation at all. I thought I was past ovulation (on my 2nd cycle) but I wasn't & I ended up getting pregnant. I was very very nervous & had many odd symptoms. On top of that, my OB at that time hadn't monitored my HCG down to zero so it was nerve racking. I wouldn't recommend it.
My 2nd m/c was early enough my OB said I didn't have to wait to try.
My 3rd m/c my OB said to wait 1 cycle. My hcg took a full 4 wks to zero out so that ended up being the cycle.
All that being said, I would wait the # of cycles your dr suggests and if you're unsure I would question him/her about it to get specifics about why, etc. Also, I would be sure that your hcg is down to zero before considering.
HTH & good luck!
I've had two miscarriages and both times my doctor told me to wait for my period, so that's what I did. I agree with the other ladies that if you have concerns about how long your doctor advised you to wait that you contact them and discuss your concerns and see what they say.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
Honestly, I've never had an oops, and unless you were totally trashed I'd have a hard time believing it was truly that. I don't mean that in a mean way, but seriously, you know what you're doing so I have a hard time justifying it that way.
With that said, I agree with the PPs that you need to talk to your doctor and find out why they want you to wait. And if you don't want/like their opinion, maybe get a new doctor, but I wouldn't just do it on your own advice. Good luck and be safe!
I totally agree with this.

I agree with a previous poster....it's not just about the dr, it is also about the individual patient.
I was told we could try to catch the first egg and didn't need to wait for AF. In our case we have at most 2 cycles left to TTC before DH has no sperm left since he had a vasectomy 3 days before my m/c. We were told that there is more risk of a repeat m/c involved in not waiting a few cycles before trying again but in our case we don't have a few cycles so to us it's a risk worth taking.
If I had all the time in the world left to TTC my midwife would like to see me wait 2-3 months and I would follow her recommendation. She knows way more than I do and I trust her....plus who really wants to risk having back to back m/c if they don't have to.
I followed my Drs instructions. The way I looked at it is if I ignored the Dr and had another m/c I would blame myself for not listening. g/l to you.

Thank you for your answers- I was just asking cus it seems odd to me the various answers (I totally get the depends on how far along you are...)yet when I talked to a nurse who goes to my church about it, she said she tells nearly everyone just 1 cycle (I was told by my own DR 2).
