Waiting period after early MC

KarynR25 · July 2013

HI there,

I'm new to the board so forgive me if this has been posted a million times. I just spoke with my doctor after having an early MC at just over 5 weeks. My doctor told me that because it was early and everything happened naturally, there is no reason to wait before getting back on the wagon again. I have read so much conflicting information on this topic. Some say wait a couple cycles, some say theres no medically proven reason to wait.

Any thoughts or opinions welcome Smile

Welcome to the board and sorry for your loss. This question has been asked a million times and part of it is that there is no "right" answer. Part of the answer is due to varying practice of providers and part of it is due to specific issues with an individual's medical history. How long you decide to wait should be the minimum of what your provider tells you plus the amount of time you need to physically and emotionally heal. Please check out the TTCAL blog, it has a poll on the right side of the main page that shows how long others were told to wait.

This. Generally, if you trust your doctor and that's the timeframe you were given, I would go with that. I have heard of others with early losses being given a swift greenlight as well depending in their situation and doctors preference. However, please be sure you are ready emotionally to ttc again. That took me a little time after our loss. Gl to you and welcome to the board.

There is so many different answers for this. Doctors I have read from other posts will say ok to ttc right away to others saying wait one to three cycles.

I had a MC in feb was 11 1/2 weeks along. We were told to wait one to two cycles. We were going to ttc after one cycle but my cycle was still off. I had a positive OpK very early and then had the temp change stating I Oed about a week later with negative OpK then.
We ended up waiting two cycles. I so wanted to ttc right away but looking back I was in a much better place waiting two cycles and it gave my body a chance to heal.

Everyone is different. You have to do what is best for you and your hubby and what your Dr says. I personally wanted A F to come back first just so I knew my body was getting back to normal. She came back 5 weeks after my dnc.
Sorry I know this might not be much help but wanted to give you my experience.

Welcome! And I'm so sorry for your loss. My personal experience is I am waiting for a couple cycles. As you can tell on my siggy timeline we were pregnant back to back to back, and ended up w/ 3 m/c's. It is extremely hard to go through, and I wouldn't recommend it. BUT that said, everyone's body is different, and can react differently. If your doctor feels everything is fine, and gives you the green light, I say give it a try. You never know, that baby can be sticky!!

Either way... Happy sexing!!
