Hey! We just had another miscarriage. Last time we waited for the first cycle and then started trying again. I soooo don't want to wait this time even one cycle. There are mixed opinions out there. What do you guys all feel/know. I'm concerned about the unterine lining being too thin. Would it be? I had a blighted ovum around 7 weeks, and then finally miscarried using misoprostol last sunday, I was almost 12 weeks.
What do you all think? I took a hpt today and there was the faintest line so (yay!) my hormones are almost down to nil again.
Let me know! Thanks guys!!

I'm so sorry for your loss... That's heartbreaking.
DH and I didn't wait. We jumped right in. (well we were NTNP for a while before we actually decided to try)

My doctor said the only reason to wait one cycle was for dating purposes. She said if my body wasn't ready to get pregnant I wouldn't. Good luck ttc! I am so sorry you had to go through another loss!

I agree that your body won't get pregnant if it's not ready. DH and I started trying right away after Drew was born, even before my first cycle came (that happened about 7.5 weeks post-partum), and my midwife didn't have a problem with that. It all depends on you, really, and your comfort level. Some ladies feel more comfortable waiting a cycle, they feel "cleared out," while others jump right in. Unless your doc gave you a very specific reason to wait, it's really more up to you than him/her  Not sure how the mistopropol plays into that though, maybe someone else can help you more specifically considering you took a med to help the process along. Sorry about your losses

I'm so sorry for your losses! I agree with the others. Unless there is a medical reason, the decision is really up to you and what you feel you are ready for. Good luck and keep us posted!

Ditto to the other ladies. I always disagree with the dating reason, because I track when I O, so LMP isn't that vital. Doctors just want to keep it all nice and tidy.

I am so sorry for your loss. I think it is okay to go ahead and jump back in when you feel emotionally ready.

Not sure about the meds you used, I would ask your dr. how long it stays in your blood and if it could effect a new pregnancy. With that said, your body will know when its ready again, so trying right away wont hurt any and may make your healing process better knowing you are trying. Good luck and Im so sorry for yet another loss....

Just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. My doctor agrees with what everyone else has said - that if you are emotionally ready, then you can go right on ahead and try.

I'm sorry for your loss.
We had our second loss in January, and I was so upset that we decided to NTNP for a few months. I was even sort-of preventing the first cycle, but I ovulated sooner than I expected, and surprise I got pregnant again. I'm now almost 13 weeks with this baby that was conceived less than 3 weeks after my loss, and so far everything is looking good (knock on wood). I hope you get your sticky baby soon, when you are ready.
