Trying to Get Pregnant

D&C and ready to TTC

I had a D&C today since my husband and I lost our first baby at 8 weeks (didn't find out until week 11 with no heartbeat). Is it odd that we are already planning TC in about 2-3 months? I'm afraid of this happening again but at the same time I never want to stop trying until I can hold my own gift from God. Uplifting advice please.

Re: D&C and ready to TTC

  • I'm sorry for your loss.

    Everyone's emotional & physical recovery is different. To some, 2-3 months post-DNC would be too soon and for others not soon enough.

    I'm not going to qualify your feelings as "odd" because that's not fair to you.

    I wanted to try right away too. It's not odd. I asked my doctor why I needed to wait a cycle and did I really have to. She said it was (in her opinion) only for dating purposes of the new pregnancy. So, we started trying right away.
    Since you only want uplifting advice, I won't tell you how long it took to get my take home baby.

    I don't think it's odd at all. We started trying as soon as I stopped bleeding.

    Good luck.
  • We are tying this month after a d&c on Jan 30. I just want to be pregnant so badly!:)
  • You can get through this. We waited after 2 cycles to start TTC Again after our d&c at 9 weeks. We are finally expecting again and I am super worried that it will end in mc again. I know i will be worried for a while . Chances of havin a second mc are less than 5%. God has his plan for you and your husband. I'm a firm believer. He gives you wait you can handle. Keep your head up and remember it's ok to cry.
  • We had a DNC on Friday. Dr said no sex for a week. But after that if we were to get pregnant it would just be a little harder to determine the DD. We plan to try right away.
  • Thank you all for the advice. I have never felt emotional pain like this before in my life and knowing that there are caring people, like you, in the world makes it a little easier. We are wishing you all the best in the future!

  • @lilp2015 no sex for a week? Our Dr. told us 6 weeks!

  • Yes. She said after a week every thing is closed back up and no risk of infection from having sex. Even the papers the hospital sent home said 7-10 days. I know a lot of dr's have different opinions but that's a big difference?!?
  • Big difference. Mine said a week also.

    We lost our baby boy at 18+ weeks on Saturday due to a rare chromosome disorder-dr recommended to wait 3 cycles before TTC to make sure things have healed
