TTC After a Loss

When can you try again?

Sorry for the newbie question. I'm just trying to focus on the future right now. Do I have to wait a full cycle and get AF before TTC again, or can I start charting right away and try to go for it as soon as possible? I know some of this depends on what the doctor says, but assuming a natural MC with no complications... is there a generic answer?

  • I am so sorry for your loss.
  • My dr told me one cycle after my D&C, I'm not sure if natural m/c is the same. I tried to chart before AF and my temps were so crazy that I stopped. Good luck to you!
  • Seems like most doctors say to wait somewhere between 1-3 cycles for early mc. They say once u get the first AF u can ttc. I asked my doc if I need to use protection b4 I get AF and she said no. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

  • Thank you. I still don't even know if I need to have a D&C. Just trying to stay positive.
  • I was told it would be fine by my regular obgyn. If you?ve had several in short sucession, then they often rec. that you wait a little longer. Really, it?s whatever feels right to you.

  • My OB said one full cycle.  It can take a while for your levels to go back to 0 when you get your AF after that.....ask them to monitor it for you.

  • My OB told me to wait until one normal AF. I know others that tried right away. I think it is really what you feel comfortable with. Good luck and sorry for your loss.
