Hi everyone- I was searching around for info on Trying to Concieve after M/C and JM popped up.

I am 31 yrs old & Married to the love of my life I am a SAHM Mommy to our 2 yr old daughter. We are really hoping to add another 2 to our family.

I suffered my first M/C in September about 6 weeks ago and I was 6 weeks pregnant at the time . I had a M/C naturally and didn't need a D&C.

I have had my first regular cycle since the M/C and it was completely normal and right on time .

First of all, I am sorry for all of your losses,

And I guess my main My Question is .... When did you start TTC after your loss ? I would like to Try to TTC again but I am not to sure when it is safe to do so? Plus I am just scared I guess.

Hi, I'm Jo and I'm so sorry for your loss. I think that the time you're supposed to wait depends on your situation, but it sounds like you would only have to wait one cycle. If you already got AF, then you should be good to go physically. Emotionally though, only you can determine that. I think we're all a little scared, but if the fear if going to make your pregnancy a miserable one, then it would probably be better to wait a bit longer and focus on your emotional healing. I am going to be trying this month, the first cycle I was told it would be OK to try, but not everyone is ready right away and you shouldn't feel rushed to try if you're not ready. Only you can decide what's right for you. G?L on whatever you decide to do!

Welcome. I am currently pregnant. I still visit this board though. I have a 4 yr old daughter. I had a m/c in August 07 at 7w3d. I am currently 24w pregnant. It took us 9 months after the m/c to conceive this one. We waited 3 cycles before trying after my d&c. I hope it doesn't take you long to conceive again. I'm so sorry for your loss.

welcome to our lovely supportive madhouse
im so sorry for your loss but the more time i spend here, the more i believe our losses happened for a reason and one positive to come from it is that we make some great friends on here.

im sarah, sahm to 3 children (kyle 11, louie 9 and sadie 3) and absent parent to 15yr old ian and 13yr old ewan (long story). my other half mark also has 4 boys so we are trying and praying for a girl to back up our sadie! lol

i tried straight away after my first loss. i was scared but wanted and needed to try instantly. it was only when it didnt happen that i realised i actually wasnt ready anyway. i had another loss in june and again in july so kind of backed off trying a little for a cycle so i could get my head sorted.
i think everyone is different but as long as you have had a normal af and your doctor hasnt said wait then i dont see why you cant get right back to ttc. i know you are scared but one thing i have found out, waiting wont make it any easier as that fear will always be there.

My name is Kimberley. I started trying the first cycle after my m/c (I had a natural m/c too). Here I am in cycle #6 with not BFP. Some are ready to try again right away, others like to wait a while. I think you should start to try when you know that you are ready (and believe me, you will know).

We are always here if you have any questions - I don't think I've come across any topics that are TMI for this group

Hi! Welcome to the board though it's under sad circumstance, I'm glad you found us!


I lost my son at 21 weeks and we'll be trying next month. Our perinatologist told us to wait 3 cycles, but I was alot further along so my body had more work to do to get back into baby-making condition. I think most doctors say three months, but really I think it's up to you. Whenever you Feel ready.

Good Luck, hun!

You came to the right place. About your question, with my first m/c I waited 3 months, but this time I can't wait that long, Im just waiting for AF to came and I will TTC again.

[Christine-MA]

but I am very sorry for your loss.

I had a D&C at 10 weeks at the end of August, and we were told we could TTC as soon as AF came. So this is our first cycle trying. I O'd very late in this cycle, so I don't know that I was back to normal yet, but we'll see what happens!

Welcome Anothertry!

Sorry to hear about your loss. As you've seen in the responses so far, you will find amazing support here. I'm previously a lurker who just started posting. I had a m/c in early Aug. at 6.5 weeks, waited a cycle as per my dr., luckily got preg. in early Oct. but sadly had my 2nd m/c at just under 5 weeks. I was lucky in that both m/c were natural, no D&C needed. I have an almost 2 year old and we are anxiously trying for a sibling, like you. My dr. didn't seem concerned about the 2nd loss, stating he thought both were prob. the common chromosomal problems that cause many early m/c. I do have a 2nd opinion scheduled in a couple of weeks. We actually didn't wait this cycle and started trying right away. The last m/c was so early I prob. wouldn't have even realized I was pg. if I wasn't checking. I started temping and ovulated right on cue (just this past week), so I'm kinda trusting my body. I partially didn't want to wait b/c if it takes 3 m/c before a dr. will test me, I want to get moving in that direction ASAP. I'm turning 36 in Dec., so I feel like the clock is ticking! It's sad, but at this point, I'm trying to just be thankful we get pg. easily. I think unfortunately I'll go into my next pg. almost expecting to lose it. Sad, but true!

Good luck w/ your decision to try again- yes the fear is tough, but as we know, the end result will be so worth it!

I'm so sorry for your loss. The women here are amazing and will help you get through this tough time.

We lost our first at 17 weeks and my doctor told us we only had to wait 1 cycle. We got pregnant after 4 cycles. We just lost our second at 9 weeks and my doctor is reffering me to a specialist and encouraging us to wait 6 cycles this time. I think it all just depends on your condition, both physically and mentally.

Thanks so much ladies for the warm welcome and advice!

Welcome aboard!!!!

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss!!! I am glad you found us though!

As for waiting to TTC again, it's ultimately whenever you are ready! Since your m/c was natural, you can try this cycle!

Good luck!!!!
