How Long To Wait...

in TTC After a Loss
I miscarried a little over a week ago. It was around a 2 week process..I started spotting on the Sunday and then miscarried the following Saturday. I continued to bleed(like a heavy period that dwindled down to spotting) and a little over a week later am finally feeling back to 'normal'. My bleeding has stopped, I no longer have symptoms and am doing okay emotionally. I've read so many articles about how long to wait before trying to conceive again but they all say different things. I want to try again soon, but I need advice. How long did you wait before Ttc again? Any suggestions?

    Everyone is told something different. You really have to listen to your doctor on this one. While some people were told they could try right away, some were told 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, etc. You will get varying answers from us on here. Please ask your doctor and follow their advice.

    To answer your question, I was told 3 months after each loss.

    I am sorry for your loss. Did your doctor give you a timeframe of when you can start TTC again? If not, I would call and ask. Most women here will tell you to follow your doctor's advice. 

    FWIW, my doctor told me that I did not need to wait for my first AF after my m/c before we started trying again, but DH and I decided to wait one cycle. As it turns out, I didn't O before my first AF, so it was a moot point.

    This. We are waiting 1 cycle, which is what my Dr. recommended.

    This. What does your doctor say? You really need to follow your doctor's advice.

    After my 1st m/c, I was told to wait a month. After my 2nd, I didn't have to wait at all and after my 3rd I was told to wait for 3 months. After my 4th m/c, I had to wait for AF for like forever and then I had to wait until all my RE testing was complete which was about 4 months.

    Thanks for the advice ladies. My doctor told me to wait one cycle. I will definitely listen to her but still wanted to ask and see what you all did!

    Your doctor should be the final say in this, but to answer your question...

    We waited two cycles after my D&C, which my OB said wait 1-2 cycles. With my second loss, which was earlier and natural, she told me 1 cycle was fine. We actually didn't try to prevent pregnancy between the miscarriage and my first period, but we didn't get pregnant.

    I personally would always wait at least 1 cycle.

    Agree with everyone else that it depends on what your doc says. My doctor told me to wait two weeks after my D&C so I would be healed and then we could start trying.
