TTC After a Loss

Intro (LC mentioned) and question

Hello all,
DH and I have been married for 3 years. Our first pregnancy ended in a MC at 5 weeks. Four months later we got pregnant with our now 20 month old DD who was born in February 2013. We started trying for a second two months ago. We were fortunate enough to get pregnant our second cycle but that ended is a MC at 6.5 weeks this week. I had this strange feeling from the beginning of this pregnancy that it would end in MC. We are looking to the future and planning when to begin TTC again. My doctor never mentioned a timeframe for beginning to TTC again. I plan on calling tomorrow but was wondering what your doctor's recommendations were?

  • I'm sorry for your losses.  I'm glad that you are planning on asking your doctor's recommendation for when to try again since everyone, and every circumstance, is different.  After my D&C, I was told to wait 1 cycle, but after my recent natural MC I was told to wait 2 cycles.  It all depends on your individual circumstances and history.

  • I'm so sorry for your loss. My Dr had me wait 2-3 cycles, but it's different for each person. I would definitely ask your Dr.

    Welcome. My doctor recommended waiting 2 cycles after my D&C, but like everyone has said, it varies from person to person, so definitely ask your doc. I'm so sorry for your losses.
