Last week I posted that I thought I had a MC and unfortunately I did. I was lucky it lasted only about a week, was at the dr today and there is no sign of baby and he is pretty sure everything has left me. Of course we are both upset, amazing how attached you get to something we never saw. That being said my DH and I are really looking forward to having another child. We both want to try again right away, dr suggested waiting 2 months so I will but just wondering how many of you started TTC quickly after your mc and if you were successful? We really want our kids close in age but I am so worried of it happening again.
Re: TTC right after miscarriage
My DNC was done 6/6. My doc recommending waiting one cycle before TTC again. We weren't TTC with this
Pregnancy so I'm not sure if we will TTC again or wait another year or so.
BFP 3.8.16 EDD 11.20.16
What my doctor explained to me was that it used to be standard to tell someone to wait for a few months before TTC to avoid another miscarriage, but more recent research has shown that there is no connection between quickly TTC again and an INCREASED risk of miscarriage vs. those who wait after having a miscarriage.
You may have a particular need to wait depending on medications you were on to help you with your miscarriage or particular conditions your doctor noted in you.
For instance, in my case my doctor initially told me that I should be able to TTC after 1 normal cycle. However, she then had to put me on misoprostol for retained tissue and after that she told me to wait 2 cycles. In my case it actually is sort of still the same advice b/c I had my period about 5 days after taking the misoprostol. So in a way the first cycle wasn't a normal cycle anyway.
For me, it's frustrating to be told to wait b/c I too have an urge to TTC right away. But I do trust her and with the extra meds I took I feel like her advice for my particular case is right.
My Dr. said it was ok for us to try again as soon as we are emotionally ready... But it is definitely interesting to see all the different advice everyone's Dr.'s are giving.
Whatever route you choose, good luck!
