I just experienced a miscarriage at 8 weeks. This is my second pregnancy, my first resulted in a healthy baby now 26 months old. For numerous reasons we are keen to TTC as soon as possible however I have read conflicting information about the best time to try.

I am just wondering how long until you started to try again and were successful in becoming pregnant?

Thanks.

Thanks! I agree, it will be different for every woman. I have just found it hard to get consistent advice that makes me feel most confident about when to try again as I want to be as ready as possible.

I always started trying straight away after misscarrying. The OB's only want you to wait a cycle for dating reasons if you do happen to fall pregnant straight away.
I had d@c s for all my misscarriages and tried the next month as I always found myself to be more fertile straight afterwards.
If you feel ready then I say go for it.
Good luck.

I miscarried over the weekend. 2nd pregnancy, DD is 16 months. My GP advised me to wait 3 months before trying again. This seems like a very long time.

Sorry for the loss of your angel.

We lost our second pregnancy too and conceived our third one month after the loss of our angel.

I now have two healthy boys and another precious baby on the way.

Please be gentle with yourself it does take some time to heal emotionally after a loss.

I hope that your next pregnancy journey comes along quickly with no issues

I'm sorry for your loss

I had a miscarriage in late July and my GP also advised that we waited 2-3 cycles. When I asked him if there was any harm in trying again straight away he said that no there wasn't, but be prepared for my body to take a while to recover from the m/c.

I was 5 wks pregnant when I miscarried, I bled for just over 3 weeks and then AF arrived a week later so I thought I was 'back to normal'. We started trying again after that first AF, but looking back I'm pretty sure I didn't even ovulate that cycle as I was still so out of whack.

Another cycle later and I have ovulated properly, although a few days later than my cycle used to be (it was clockwork before, 28 days every single month with ovulation on CD10-12, now it's anywhere between 28-32 days per cycle and I didn't ovulate until CD15) Just be aware that this may happen, even if you are using OPKs and get a positive. Apparently after a m/c your body can get geared up to ovulate but can't actually release an egg.

Good luck OP, I say just go with what makes you and your DH comfortable

After my D&C, my FS said to start trying straight away and if the body isn't ready, it won't conceive. The healthy baby in my arms now was conceived two months after!

I'm only new to the MC club - started the week pregnant, and now I'm finishing the week not pregnant.

I had my D&C yesterday. Feels good to have started the process to physically move on, obviously emotional is another story.

The reason for my post is my Ob said I'll bleed heavily for about 4 days, starting in the coming days, and once that bleeding has finished I'm right to start trying again, and he said if I can handle it emotionally, then I should give it a good go as I'll be very fertile.

Anyone else get this advice? I trust my Ob explicitly, it just seems to contradict advice others have received.

Lastly - to all those who have suffered recent losses - my heartfelt condolences to you.

Hi, I had a D&C friday and was advised to wait one cycle - seen as I asked while still coming out from under the general I can't remember why Ob advised that. I am having my follow up appointment during the week so will ask again. I was also told I would bleed for a few days- I bleed very lightly that night and had stopped by lunch time the next day.

I think it is to make dating easier? But sorry no help
