Is there any real medical reason you have to wait 2-4 cycles to try again if you had a spontaneous m/c and not a d & c? I really don't want to wait until December to try again, but I guess I will if there is a good reason. I have kept taking prenatals and such to prep for it, but not sure what to do. I know it is a personal choice emotionally when you are ready to try again, but medically?

They say it is just to make sure the lining of the uterus builds up and that you know everything is "working" properly.

We waited just one cycle and everything was working just fine.

I was told there was no medical reason to wait. If your lining is not adequate you will not get implanation (basically if your body is not ready it will not get pregnant).

My sister miscarried her first and was pregnant before she got AF again... she now has a healthy 3.5 month old. I have a cousin who did the same thing as well as a girlfriend from work. They all have healthy children that were concieved the cycle after a miscarriage.

that is exactly what my dr. told me. your body will not do something it's not ready to do. we waited one cycle for many reasons. good luck and i'm sorry for your loss!!

My doctor told me to wait one cycle and I had a DnC done, but everyone else has told me there is no medical reason to wait it just easier for dating. Let your body tell you when your ready and it will all work out.

Thanks everyone! My husband was worried to go 'against' the doc's recommended 4 cycle wait, and I said I didn't think we needed to wait more than 1 or 2 cycles. She is generally an over-cautious OB so I thought it was a bit extreme. I think if I feel emotionally ready by November, we will start trying again.

I think if you asked 10 Drs that question you would get 10 different responses. Personally (and I'm not a Dr.) I think you should wait until you feel that you are ready to TTC again.

Good luck.

my midwife told me to wait 1 cycle, just to give my hormones time to get back to normal, and for me to *emotionally* feel somewhat better... but she also said that if we wanted to try straight away, that there was no *real* reason not to

it's more for emotional reasons to wait and the dr. wants you to wait at least 1 cycle so that they can date the pregnancy better. But I know quite a few mommas who got pregnant right after a loss. Good luck to you!

Hi there Kelsue...

I had posted an article that I had found about this suject some time back, it stated that in a study conducted there was no real medical reason to wait it was primarily for emotional reasons. However, you have to give yourself at least a couple weeks to a month to ward AGAINST infections & for your lining to "clean up the house" so to speak.

Basically your body won't get pg if it's not ready, but sometimes there can be implantation problems due to the lining being different all over.... so my new doc says.
