I had a follow up today since my m/c started on Wednesday. The information i was given was mixed and not with my regular doctor. I called and set up an appointment with the doctor who has been treating DH and I for our infertility issues. That appointment isn't for another two weeks. I will be doing a blood test tomorrow because they do want to track my levels down to zero. I asked when we can start ttc and I was given a range of answers from now, to three months and six months. I was not given any physical reasons as why to wait. All guidance given seemed to b based on emotional state. This is the main reason I scheduled the fertility clinic appointment .
How long were you told to wait?

Re: How soon after m/c to ttc
You really need to listen to your doctor on this one. You will get different answers here. I would wait to talk to your regular doctor in two weeks. And you really shouldn't be trying before then anyways.
But to answer your question, I was told 3 months both times. The second time though we ended up TTA for 18 months but for personal reasons.

I am so sorry you had to go through this, I had a mc in september and wasn't told to wait a specific amount of time. I was 7.5 weeks along and I didn't really start trying again until nov. I know how you feel though because all you want, is to be pregnant again to fill the emptiness inside. I feel like you go through different stages of grief and I am actually thankful at times that I didn't get pregnant right away, because I would be in a rough emotional shape for the first few months of pregnancy. I wish you the best and I hope you find peace. Do what you feel is right, you know yourself best.
the reason why I didn't know when to start trying again: My doctor never met me at all and only confirmed hcg decrease.... a few weeks later, called to remind me for my first ultrasound..never talked to her again
This is something that should be consulted with your Dr. However, I was told to wait two full cycles.
This exactly. But I had to wait two full cycles. It all depends on your individual situation.
BFP #1 ended in MMC. Discovered Oct 2005 @10w5d, baby stopped growing around 6w. D&C.
BFP#2 Nov 2005. Baby's heart stopped @ 8w3d. D&C Jan 2006. Trisomy 18
BFP#3 Nov 2006. My "miracle baby" DD born 7/25/07
BFP #4 11/6/12. EDD 7/16/13~my birthday! No sac found @ 5w1d, betas not increasing. Natural m/c started 11/20/12.
BFP#5 11/9/13. EDD 7/21/14 Our beautiful rainbow born on his due date!!
I am so confused. The OB doctor in the ER said there was no reason to abstain bc there was no longer a baby to harm. Those were her words exactly. I cant wait to actually talk to my doctor to get better insight on this whole situation.
Even if we get the clear to try earlier DH has a business trip that takes him away Jan and Feb and I have one that takes me away in March.
