How long did you wait after you miscarriage to try again? How long did it take to get pregnant again? And how long did it take for AF to return?
I had Gabriel almost a month ago and I was 15 weeks along. AF still hasn't returned and I understand it can take a while. We want to TTC right away, but I'm so scared of this happening again. My doctor said most suggest waiting two months and I'm one month out, so I figure I'll wait on cycle provided AF returns soon. She said that should be fine, but I wanted some BTDT advice.

How long did you wait after you miscarriage to try again?
Until the doctor said go ahead, which was when my levels reached 0 and I thought my period started. This was about 4 weeks after.
How long did it take to get pregnant again?
Unknown
And how long did it take for AF to return?
Also sort of unknown, see my rant in a separate thread. I think I am having it now, about 7 weeks after my MC. It's very odd though, so who knows what this is.

We will be trying after my levels reach under 5, before my first AF because the dr said we could. I ended up needing 2 D&C's but when the first one was over she said to just wait one cycle. My AF still hasn't returned so I can't answer the other two questions. good luck!

How long did you wait after you miscarriage to try again?
I have tried right away after all my losses
How long did it take to get pregnant again?
Different amounts of time after each loss, as little as not even getting AF and as many months as 11
And how long did it take for AF to return?
After my D&C I had to have medicine to get AF to return. It was past 8 weeks and she was no where to be seen. After my natural ones it took around 6 weeks.

I didn't have a miscarriage, I had a full-term birth. There were complications and he passed away five days later. We started trying again right away.
How long did it take to get pregnant again?
It hasn't happened yet, so I don't know. Soon, hopefully  It took us a year after coming off birth control pills to get pregnant with Drew, although 2 or 3 of those cycles we were actively preventing. This is our second official cycle trying.
And how long did it take for AF to return?
Seven weeks.

I'm so sorry for your loss 
It took 11 weeks for AF to return after my loss/D&C. We had planned to wait one cycle, but ended up giving in and trying right away. I haven't gotten pregnant since my loss.
I hope you get your sticky BFP very soon!

With my loss at 22 weeks I started to try as soon as I got AF back, which was a month later...I got pregnant on my 2nd cycle...I then had a loss at 15 weeks in April, and got pregnant in June, on my first cycle trying...This time I didn't try right away, I took a break for testing and i'm now on my 4th cycle...Hopefully your AF will start soon...After both of my miscarriages it took almost 2 months for my AF to return.

- After AF came.
How long did it take to get pregnant again?
- we were lucky on the first cycle.
And how long did it take for AF to return?
- I had a natural m/c and AF returned just over 4 weeks after.

With my first loss (a natural mc), we started trying again right away. I was charting, so I know that I ovulated on cd 24 (my usual ovulation is on cd 17), and got AF 38 days after my loss.
We got pregnant again the first cycle after AF returned. I then lost that pregnancy at 6.5 wks. I haven't had AF yet from that loss. I'm not charting now, so I'm not sure if/when I ovulated. I'm pretty sure I probably already ovulated based on cm.
As far as when to start trying again, everything I've read (there's not much scientific research) doesn't show any reason to wait a cycle. However, I'm now being a little paranoid since I had another loss. We are NTNP until April or May, but I think I would be happy if we got pg again before then (although terrified at the same time, naturally).
