My name is Julie. DH (Brian) and I have been ttc our first child together for a year. We finally got our BFP last month, but I miscarried a week ago at 6 weeks. I am curious. How long did you all wait to start ttc after your loss? I was able to pass everything naturally, so no d&c was required. My doctor suggested waiting 3 months, but also said there's no data to support that. He just feels that a good amount of time to allow my body to heal.

im sorry for your loss. we had one doctor tell us two cycles, and my current doctor told us after first AF. he said its more about us being ready, as our bodies can heal faster than we can emotionally

Welcome to the board. I am very sorry for your loss. Different doctors will tell you different things. Any where from wait one cycle to wait 3 cycles is the usual. My doctor wanted us to wait 1 cycle after our first loss to date another pregnancy but we didn't. They also said that if my body was not ready I wouldn't get pregnant so we tried right away. I hope you get a BFP quickly and if you need anything please don't hesitate to PM me

I've heard everything too, from 1 to 3 months. Then my peri told me after my last loss, that it really doesn't matter. If your body isn't ready it won't get pregnant.
I've gotten pregnant immediately following an early natural loss. Sometimes the wait time they give you is suppose to be 'emotional healing' time.

Ditto to what the others said. I think the "wait" time might be more for emotional healing than anything. Your body won't get pregnant unless it's ready. Good luck and I am sorry for your loss...

Thank you all. When it first happened I was completely ok with waiting 3 months. I didn't feel I would be emotionally ready until then anyway. However, it's amazing how quickly that feeling has gone away. I don't know if I would be able to get DH on board yet, but I was just curious.

Julie, I am sorry for your loss. I feel the same way! I thought I would need to wait 2-3 months to feel emotionally ready again. We started our grieving process 2 weeks before my D&C so I think in a way, the D&C was our "new beginning". It has been 6 weeks and I just got my first period. I really want to start trying again. My dr. said 2 months but I made an appt with her for this Thursday to ask if we can start trying this cycle.

My husband also thinks we should wait the 2 months because that is what the Dr. said!

I'm so sorry for your loss I agree with the other ladies- it is more about waiting until you feel ready to TTC again.

Welcome to the board. I'm so sorry for your loss.
We started trying right away after my first loss, and got pregnant again the second cycle. We then had another loss and were planning on ntnp for a few cycles while I emotionally recovered, but I find myself pregnant again after the 6.5 week loss in early January. Personally, I think you should try again whenever you are ready.

Hi Julie! I was going to tell you to come over here once you felt like it! My doctor told us as well to wait three months. I was not okay with it at first. We actually waited two months then found out that I had to have the lap done and then they found the endo. So I think it is completely what you are ready for.

I am so sorry for your loss. My DH and I had also been TTC for over a year when I got pregnant....I know how hard it is to try for that long and then have a loss.

Since your loss was fairly early, I would think you could start trying as soon as you are ready. I have a friend who had a loss at 6 weeks and got pregnant with her son just a couple of weeks later, so you never know. My loss was at just shy of 5 weeks and we started TTC right away again, but my first cycle was kind of messed up and I ended up with just a 9 day luteal phase, so things can be a bit "off" for awhile. But I figured it was worth a shot.
