I know that it's normal to have this consuming feeling to be pregnant again. I'm just wondering if anyone here has NOT waited one full cycle to try again? I've read a bunch of stories of people getting PG before their first AF after MC. I'm torn, part of me says what the hell just do it, the other tells me I'm being selfish.
Anyone try this before?

DH and I have tried it before. I know there are lots of ladies that have and have gone on to have healthy babies and not have even gotten AF.

Yes I have tried before... the only time I did end up pregnant it ended up being an ectopic.
I recomend waiting one cycle just to be 100% sure on your dates but that is just my personal opinon since I had a bad experiance with not waiting. Many other ladies have done it and gone onto have healty babys.

My doctor told me to wait so we decided to wait. I know what you mean by having this desire to be pregnant again quickly. I feel the same way.

well, i don't know the outcome yet...since I am in the 2ww. but I decided not to wait. i think it depends on a lot of things. mine was very early on, natural m/c. I did ovulate on time exactly 14 days after, so my dh and I decided that my body has decided it was back on track, and I said I would let my body decide if it were ready. I read a lot of stuff online about "the uterine lining not having time to build back up" but that is kind of silly because every month when AF comes....that is the result of our body shedding the uterine lining when we didn't get pregnant! anyways, that is just my two cents. there seems to be no real evidence one way or the other. my dr. said you should wait one cycle and when I said why, it was mostly to be sure on your dates. well...my dh is deployed and I met him for the weekend, so I am pretty darn sure of the date if i get a bfp! Oh....but before you decide, make sure your HCG went back to zero, or a negative hpt otherwise you won't know if it is leftover hcg. good luck!

Ditto getting a negative HPT to make sure a future BFP is real and not just leftover HCG. We started trying after I had Drew before my first AF ever came, but I don't think I ever ovulated... And I had an early, natural miscarriage, and am in the cycle following it (no "normal" AF in between, just the mc) and DH and I are trying right now. I see no sense in waiting if it was early and natural, especially if you know your dates. Not sure what the standing advice is for when meds or a D&C were used though.

My doctor advised me to wait 3 cycles after my m/c. I totally ignored that because there was no way I was going to wait that long to start trying. I did wait until I got my post-m/c AF though...I figured I'd compromise and wanted to give my body a chance to recover just in case. I agree with the others though, that the main reason why doctors ask you to wait a cycle is so they can accurately date it. BUT, if you are charting your cycles and know when you ovulate, then the dating is easy.

We didn't wait one full cycle after our second loss, and got DD. It's definitely possible to have a healthy baby after not waiting. Dating the pregnancy wasn't real hard because I used my CBEFM to tell me when I was ovulating.

With my first loss one this round of ttc. I didn't wait, and did get pregnant that cycle. I did lose that baby, but it was not related to not waiting by any means.

I'm in my first cycle after my loss and while we're not "trying" we're not preventing either. So far I haven't ovulated, but I figure that when my body is ready I'll get pregnant again. I also had a natural m/c and my body recovered quickly... From what I've read/heard/been told by mw, it's mostly a matter of when you and your partner are ready emotionally.
