Ok, so DH and I have had 2 m/c Last month and this month. Would you just keep trying or take a break and try next month?

We had 2 m/c's last year, one in June and one in October. After the one in June I needed a break so I didnt try from July-August. In September I was ready and we began trying without opks or anything else, we did not get pg, then in October we used opks and got pg, but then lost that one very soon after my first beta. We were NTNP for November and December, and the started opks again in January and didnt get pg then and so we used opks again this cycle and now in the tww. I waited because I needed that emotional break, mainly with the one in June, after the one in October I was ready to try again right away so thats why we just did the NTNP. My Dr told me to wait 3 months after my October loss, even though it was an early loss, I didnt wait the three months, but I didnt get pg either. You have to see how you feel about trying again, do you feel ready? I think as long as you feel ready it should be okay, if you dont mind me asking were your losses early?

Physically I don't think there is any reason why you would have to. Emotionally, it's up to you. I know the first month after my loss we waited because the Dr. told us to. The second month I just still wasn't up for it mentally.

I agree with the other ladies. The doctor told us to take three months off but I did not really want to do that. In my case though the doctor was right. I was not emotionally ready to start ttc again right away.

I would probably go ahead and try again if you are mentally ready. However, I do think it is best to wait until you have a period so you can date the pregnancy better.

I second that dating recommendation. After my first loss we tried again right away, but after my 2nd loss I realized I needed an emotional break from ttc. We ultimately decided to ntnp for a few months; we didn't want to totally prevent because I'm getting up in age at 36. However, now I'm in a state of limbo because I got another positive test and I'm only somewhat positive that it's new, and since I wasn't charting I have no idea how far along I am if it is real. I am surpringly ok with that, but it is a bit stressful. My recommendation is that if you are going to wait and don't want to have uncertainty, use protection the first cycle.

I agree physically it shouldn't be a problem BUT emotionally you might not be ready. Every person is different. If you feel ready then I say go for it  HUGS!

I really don't know, with my loss I couldn't wait to keep trying but had it been my 2nd or more loss I really don't know how i'd feel. I'd say go off your own emotional state.
