  My doc said to try again anytime (I had a chemical pregnancy). But to be honest I am absolutely terrified.

  Carabiner252 I'm 37 so I feel pressure to try sooner rather than later myself.  I hope they can find a reason why 2 consecutive losses occurred, because if it happens a 3rd time, it may be time to start thinking about IVF or something similar.  The good thing is my husband and I seem to have no trouble conceiving - it's happened on our first attempt with both of these failed pregnancies as well as our pregnancy that went to term - we just need help staying pregnant beyond 7 weeks.  It is such a frustrating situation to be stuck in.

  We will try again after one cycle, even though I am scared crazy. I'll be seeing a RE around when I would think I'll get my period (6 weeks from when I had my d&c). Hopefully I'll get some answers soon after that and maybe my fears will lessen. Maybe?

  We were intending to hit the ground running. However, I've had some bleeding complications and weird repeat betas, so we may be out this month and start fresh next month, which will also be when we start testing.

  First loss, we waited one cycle just because I thought that's what I was supposed to do.  After this loss, we started trying right away (well, we had to wait 2 weeks post d&c) because my doc said we could!

  Well sounds like I'm in the minority here doc said wait 3 months minimum but really is pushing us to wait 6. I was disappointed at first but like everyone else I am terrified to try again so it will probably take me at least 3 months to muster up the courage.

  After our first loss we waited one cycle then got pregnant right away! Just had my 2nd loss with my D&C today and my husband and I want to get some testing done first before we try again. We are probably gonna wait 2or 3 cycles this time around.

  We've decided not to make any plans right now. I know I want to try again although I'm terrified but my husband said he can't go through this again. We both need time and agreed we would heal first and make decisions later. I'm going on 33 and my health is a challenge so I feel a bit more pressure.

  ***older child mentioned***
  
  My OB "recommended" we wait until after I get my first period post loss, but she wasn't opposed to us TTC right away. So we are TTC now. I had an early m/c on 1/30/14 and I'm getting weekly betas drawn. And I'm still breastfeeding my 22.5 month old DS, but planning to wean him at the end of March.

  My doctor said that once I was regulated, we could start TTC again.  I MC at 6 weeks and fortunately, did not need a D&C.  He said it would probably take 2-3 cycles to regulate.  3 months sounds SO LONG, but as many other ladies above have mentioned... part of me is TERRIFIED to start trying again.

  
  

  I give all the women on here a lot of credit for going through all of this.  Before this happened to me (this was my first pregnancy, first MC) I heard about women having MC and that it was "normal" or "happens all the time".  I never thought much about it until it happened to me.  This is a tough thing to go through, whether it's your first, third, etc. MC.  

  
  

  I am only at 2 weeks post MC right now, and still am no where near EMOTIONALLY ready to start TTC again.  I am hoping that once my body is ready, my mind will be as well!

  
  

  Just remember, everyone's situation is different and besides being told from your doctor it's ok to start TTC, your mind has to be in the right place as well! 

  
  

  Good luck!

  We're going to start NTNP as soon as I get my first period. My OB already has me on a ton of folic acid supplements and baby aspirin and stuff since she thinks I have a clotting disorder. Should get results soon, so we can figure out what interventions are necessary. I feel like I can do this again if I have a better idea WHY it all happened in the first place. Scientist brain.
  
  GL everyone! So happy to have a group of people who actually gets it.

  My doctor said to wait two cycles.  We will begin trying again immediately after the two cycles. Honestly, I'm tempted to start trying before the two cycles.

  My Dr. Told us to wait at least one cycle after the D&C. Mine was missed mc and the baby was almost 12 weeks. We decided to start trying again as soon as we could. My husband is worried about my emotional state if it happens again, but I'm 35 and don't want to wait to keep trying.

  My Dr. told me to wait 2 cycles before trying again, she also wants me to go in for a pap. So, that would put us at around May to start trying.

  I'm 37 too, I have just had a missed miscarriage, and I've been worried about what to do in the near future, I am not sure how I would cope having to go through this again, I send you my love and best wishes for a successful pregnancy in the future.

  Great question...still deciding.  I literally change my mind about it every single day.  DH would try again and again (he very much wants a LO, but sometimes forgets about the grief I experience during pregnancy and MC).  The doctor I saw last week said we can try TTC after my next period but I didn't like her very much, so I will schedule an appointment with the regular doctor sometime after AF shows up.  @cole1265, I also had partial molar pregnancy and waiting was terrible, but it was such a relief when the year was finally up.  T&Ps to you, because I know how emotionally draining molars can be!
