I got my first post-D&C AF two weeks ago. My obgyn (who did the d&c) told us to wait a full cycle before trying again, but patience is not something I have very much of. I decided last week that I would start taking OPKs and maybe try this month...throw a little caution to the wind. Well I got a +opk last night and we went for it...and probably will again tonight.

Now I'm second guessing and wondering if we're doing the right thing. I guess i'm just scared.

In the meantime, I contacted our RE about the results of the fetal biopsy (which stated "no chromosomal abnormalities"). He wants to do a recurrent pregnancy loss workup on us. He's mailing us the scripts for the blood draw and then we see him in 3 weeks.

I feel like i'm all over the place!

Just wanted to give you some peace of mind... your body will not become pg if it is not ready yet. If the lining is not built up enough the egg won't implant so I can't see any reason as to why you shouldn't try. G/L and KUP!

I agree with the other responses. There is no physical harm in trying since your body will know better than anyone of us when it is ready to be pg again. Good Luck!!

I think you will be fine sweetie. Like the other ladies said, if your body isn't ready for pregnancy again, you won't get pregnant. Good luck!

To me you are just fine. My OB tol me most doctors advise waiting for emotional reasons and to help date the pregnancy, which to me, if you are ready are not real reasons.

Go for it girl! By the way I got my last BFP 16 days after my D&C. We lost the baby but it had nothing to do with it being so close to after a miscarriage.

If your body is not ready the fertilized egg will not implant, but I hope things go as you wish!
