Pregnant after a Loss

lost my baby

I recently found out I lost my baby at 5 weeks pregnant and would like to know how long you waited to get pregnant again. Thank you for any info you may have.

Re: lost my baby

  • I'm sorry for your loss *hugs*  My last loss was at 6 weeks and we were told to wait 1 cycle before trying again. I'd ask your doctor to get a definite professional opinion but often with early losses waiting 1-2 cycles is the norm (as long as you are emotionally ready).

  • Thank you so much you guys for your kind words:) I go to the doctor next Monday with my husband and we will talk to her about the new plan. I'm so sorry for ya'lls losses too lots of prayers and baby dust
  • Other pregnancy sites use that term it does not mean what you think it does
  • I'm so sorry for your loss. Both my son and this baby were conceived the cycle after a loss (DS was the cycle after a D&C). Follow your doctor's guidelines for when to start trying again, and also follow your heart. It's okay to take time to grieve and process what has happened first. I hope to see you back here when you're ready. ((hugs))

    I had a D&C at 12 weeks, and both my OBGYN and RE told me it was OK to start trying once I got a normal period.  We weren't emotionally ready yet so we waited another cycle.  See what your doctor says.  I'm sorry for your loss.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. As everyone else has mentioned please follow your doctors orders and don't try and get pregnant too soon. Personally I had a D&C at 11 weeks, baby stopped growing at 6 weeks. My doctor advised waiting one cycle and then it would be safe to try again. We waited 2 cycles and then TTC on the third cycle. I got pregnant on that cycle (just found out 2 days ago). If your doctor hasn't given you a time line I'd call and ask. Some doctors say it's ok to get pregnant right way, others advise waiting as many as 6 cycles, it depends on you. Good luck.

    So sorry for your loss. My doctor always told me I could try as soon as my next period came. You might ask your ob what they reccomend. Hugs.
