My husband & I just lost our baby last week so we arent trying yet.
I was just curious how long after your loss did you start trying?

[BellaBellski]

I'm really sorry about your loss


We lost our son August 13th at 21 weeks. We'll be starting to TTC in January 09. The perinatologist told me to wait three good cycles before ttc again - but every situation is different - and every dr has different idea of how long you should wait. So really, barring any physical problems, whenever You feel ready.

we started next cycle with my feb bfp but straight away with june and i got pregnant again in july.
we have taken a couple of cycles off but unless there is a medical reason then there shouldnt be a problem trying after af

I'll be starting up again as soon as I get AF back, which I'm hoping will be within the next couple weeks. I had a d&c on 8/28.

At first my doctor said to wait 3 months to try again but when I pressed him for more info about why 3, he said that it's the standard number of months he gives, if we tried sooner - that would be okay, if we were ready. But he said to make sure I get at least one period first. He was very firm about that.

I'm really sorry for you loss.


We had a loss in April at 20 wks, and our Dr. said to wait until AF shows, and then TTC again. He also said that we should wait until we are mentally ready. We started to TTC again right away, mentally ready or not. I think after a loss, it's hard to be completely "ready" again. I wish you luck when you do decide to TTC again.

Sorry about your loss.

We started trying right away.

I'm so sorry for your loss!!

My perinatologist also said to wait three months, and when I asked why too, he said that it's just the standard that most doctors use. But technically, if you're having a normal period, then you're body is ready to try again. So that's what we did, as soon as af came we tried again.

Good luck, hun!!!

I had a m/c early August.. and started as soon as AF started again. So, we waited 1 cycle.

[Christine-MA]

I had a D&C on August 21st and will be starting TTC as soon as AF comes.

We are also only waiting until AF shows. BUT, we dtd last w/e and the next day, I got my ovulation pains (I always get them), so i think I o'd the next day. How freaky would it be if I didn't get AF and instead, got a ++ preggo test????

I had a D&C on September 4th. I am know just waiting till AF shows and we will start trying again. I would normally wait longer ,but I have had three miscarriages in the month of spetmeber and So i do not want to be pregnant in that month.

Thank you. I talked to my Doctor today and she said that she recommends to wait 3-4 months before trying.
My husband & I talked last night and we think that 6 months would be a good time frame. I want to sooner but I think that is just because I want my baby back so bad. But I guess that is normal for being a week past a loss.

I am so afraid to get pregnant again. I am terrified that this will happen again, I cant live through another, I am barely making it through this one.

You never know what will happen or when, since I had some bad side effect like no sex drive on BC pills I wont be going back on them. Maybe things will happen on there own when they are meant to. EIther way I have another week before I am cleared to even do the deed since my D&C.

(((hugs))) All of your feelings are soooo normal. A week after my loss I had much of the same feelings. I actually remembered posting here asking HOW these ladies decided to TTC again... because I couldn't even imagine doing it all over. For me, each day got better and better.. and just a very short time after, I decided I didn't want to wait anymore.. and knew I was ready. Some women take much longer to heal and try again, that's normal. Some are ready immediately, and that's normal too. You'll know when you're ready!

Our son was stillborn at 20 weeks on July 10th. I started my 1st cycle on August 18th and we started trying after that cycle. I found out I was pregnant on Monday but unfortunately am now miscarrying.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I m/c on Oct 17 2007 at 13 weeks. We were told to wait a couple cycles, so we started in December, and here I am almost a year later and still not pg. To be honest, I have only recently felt confident in getting pg again, I think I haven't in the past 9 months b/c mentally I probably wasn't ready.

I hope you are able to heal a little and find some peace with this situation and when you are ready to TTC again, I hope it's a smooth journey for you.

Hugs

im sorry for your loss.

I didnt really want to try right away. cause it was still so painful! I hated ttcing. what what it did to me.
i really hope you get pregnant again...

Wait till your healed inside and feel better about everything.

[Madison.N.Hailey'sMom]

I am so sorry for your loss. With my first loss I had to wait at least 1 cycle because I had a D&C. We went through one cycle and got pg again and I went on to have another loss. In my heart I feel that my second loss was because I didnt let my body have time to heal but I have heard of a lot of woman that got pg before their first cycle or even after only one cycle and went on to have a healthy baby. In your heart you will know when the timing is right. Just make sure to give yourself time to grieve your baby and things will be a little easyer next time as hard as thats to believe right now. Again I am so sorry for your loss.
