i had a d and c in january and was told by the doc and surgeon to wait till i had my 1st period before trying again. I am a bit scared incase it happens again, and now that i have had my period i dont know whether or not to go for it.

I asked a similar question funnily enough a few minutes before but i had an ectopic pregnancy i feel scared but it will have been 9 months which is plenty of time for physical healing and emotional.The most important thing my Doctor said is you are emotionally healed from your loss.If it hasent been long since you lost wait a few cycles more theres no rush untill you feel more relaxed about it,pregnancy loss is devastating but it doesent mean because you had one it will certainly happen again,many woman lose a baby and go on to have 4-5 healthy kids,some even have other miscarriage but youll get your bundle of joy in the end stay positive about it.and remember babies are normally lost because theres a chromosonal defect your body knows best so it just wasn't the right time.Goodluck

This is a question that only you can answer, hun. I had an unplanned pregnancy that ended in an ectopic, but I was still an emotional wreck when I lost it. (it will be a year tomorrow, in fact) I agonized for the next year over whether or not to have another one, because I had never thought about it before. I thought I was done. But not having that baby made me want another one. We are now pregnant with number 3.
Just make sure this is really what you want and not just a reaction to losing this pregnancy. Make sure your body and your emotions have healed a bit before thinking seriously about it. Talk with your partner (although mine wasn't any help and just said "anything you want, dear") and let him talk about his emotions too. Pregnancy after a loss is scary. I feel like I'm pregnant for the first time again. But chances are, things will go smoothly for you next time. I wish you the best and I'm so, so, so sorry for your loss. Good luck.

YES YES YES YES...Try again. Here's my story and I hope it will inspire you and maybe ease the fear. My husband and I spent 4 years trying to have a baby. We were pregnant 5 times, all ending in a miscarriage. I never had a D&C after my micarries until the last one which was on September 29,2002. I was TERRIFIED but it was a must have surgery. We were FRIGHTENED to even try again with all we had been through so we decided to give it a rest for a little while. WELL, having sex only once after my surgery I found out on Christmas Morning that I was pregnant. My son was born just four weeks early on July 30, 2003. Do I believe having the surgery was the answer to my prayers....ABSOLUTELY! Go for it and PLEASE let me know how things are. I know how mentally and physically draining this situation can be on ones soul. DON'T give up! Keep me posted- proud2btysmom@yahoo.com!

I would wait a bit longer. My doctors have always asked I wait 3mo for a 1st trimester m/c and 6mo for a 2nd trimester m/c. We're just now trying again (a little early even) after a m/c # 18weeks November 9th.
If you are unsure.. it's best to wait. I felt the same way after each of mine and I think waiting until you are absolutely ready is the best option, especially so you don't spend the first few months terrified of another miscarriage

I would suggest that you dont try again this month as your obviously unsure as to whether your ready or not and thats totally understandable. You have plenty of time to try for another baby and its important that you heal both physically and emotionally first. Good luck and do what feels right for you

If you are feeling scared at this moment in time, don't rush your body. I had a D&C and waited 3 months before my body finally agreed. I became pregnant almost straight away. I was glad to give my body the rest it needed. Good luck.

The D & C would have cleared everything away, You've had your 1st period post-op, medically you should be OK. On a more personal side it's only you who knows when the time is right to start...

Only you and your partner can decide this honey.
Are you financially and emotionally ready to have a baby? If so, go for it. If you have any worries about it at all, I'd wait a while. I'm sure it wont be too long.
