I did post about my Dr putting me on Birth Control because my spotting did not stop after my miscarriage... I did tell my Dr that I did want to TTC also.... But I was curious if someone is on the same boat as me? Anyone was told to start Birth Control for a couple month?

I did not have to go on birthcontrol pills after my m/c. It may be that you needed to perhaps regulate the spotting and as well as your period to get into rythm.

My dr wanted me to go on bc, but I refused telling her I wanted to ttc.

Its pretty common after a m/c to go birth control to get your cycle normal again. I know 2 months seems like a lot, but it will help you get your body ready for a healthy pregnancy again. They also say that when you suspend your ovulation for a couple of months, you increase your chance of conceiving quicker!

Good luck!

After my first miscarriage that dr put me on a very low dose birth control.... for 6 months.
I quit and got my BFP with my only sticky baby that first month.
I have almost thought about trying it again. But I just found out I have PCOS and it could really mess me up.

Sorry but it makes no sense to me to go on birth control just because of the spotting. I would question that.
If you don't stop bleeding/spotting in a reasonable amount of time after the miscarriage, it can be a sign that the miscarriage wasn't complete. Did the dr do an internal ultrasound when you told him you were still spotting?

I have to agree with Judy. Adding hormonal birth control pills when your hormones are perfectly capable of regulating themselves, is just silly. I am certainly no doctor, but I would be questioning any doctor that prescribes BCP to a woman who wants to TTC. It is counterproductive and I believe that the human body was designed, in most cases, to do what it needs to do. Did your doctor follow your HCG down to zero?

[.:Shortcake:.]

BCP can screw up your body and make it hard for you to concieve for awhile or it can make you more fertile so I see this as a double edged sword. My doctor would really have to talk me into it for me to do it.

Hey Servilia,
When I had my mc I did have an internal us and the results showed that everything was clear....
I've actually been spotting for 6 weeks after MC and when I started on the BCP on Fri the spotting has gotten significantly better.... I'm a bit excited about that...

Hi Twoboysmaybemore,
My HCG level is down to zero and the US came out clear.... I was so over spotting for 6 weeks so I agreed to just try for a month (he wanted me to try for 2 months) yikes...
So far so good though....
