Hello I am new to this site...I am in the process of a m/c. We lost our baby on Mon :( I was 5wks and 4 days pg. My dr said that I do not need a D/C b/c my levels were really low, I don't have "that" much bleeding and it should last for about a wk. We are both young, healthy and have a healthy 2 yr old. I ask my dr when can we start ttc again and his answer was as soon as the bleeding stops. Everything I have been reading has said not to do this. I know that my dr knows my med history, but it's natural to be scared. Any advice from mommies who have "been here"?

i was told to wait on till i have my first period after the miscarriage. i think this is so it is easier to date the pregnancy
i was also told to drink plenty of water and take folic acid eat well all that stuff
for me i never got my period i found out i was pregnant about 8 weeks after i lost the baby he is healthy and 4 now starts school Monday i also have a 1 year old and no problems with him either
they say after you give birth or have lost a baby you are at your most fertile for me that was true any way.
good luck TTC again and im sorry about your loss

I know how you are feeling and not to get you even more scared, but your m/c might come suddenly (I was in a restaurant) so try to be prepared this week ahead of you. I didn't actually get pregnant until 7 months later but my doctor also told me that we could try again after my m/c was over. I have a beautiful 6 month old and I hope everything works well for you. Good Luck!!

I am so sorry about your miscarriage. I really dont agree with your doctor. I am by no means a professional but if I were you I would wait 6 months to a year before trying again.
Not only does your body need to heal but also you heart and mind.

I'm so sorry for your loss!
Its best to wait at least 1 or 2 cycles (its recommended to wait 3). I've always started trying the next month after my miscarriages (I've had 5).
I'm currently waiting for my cycle to start again after the D&C I had on the 22nd so I'm not one to judge for not waiting the recommended 3mths LOL

Ive heard to try again around 6 months after. I would at least wait two months so your body has a good cycle first. Good luck.

I am so sorry for your loss. I had the same problem. After my miscarriage, I waited several months before trying again. I firmly believe it takes time for the body to rebalance itself out and heal itself. I think if you did it that quickly it could be hard on your body. GOOD LUCK!!!!

i'm sorry to hear about your loss....
most doctors will recommend to try again one month to 3 months after your m/c, so i'd get a second opinion, even if it's from a family friend who is a doctor or something like that, you can also ask an RE (fertility specialist) online for free and get their opinion,
try www.FertilityTies.com
good luck!

Wait for at least 3 months. Your periods are not going to be regular. I had a M/C in June and my hormones and period are still messed up.
