I seriously have baby fever...I was so estatic to find I was pregnant on June 17th, but then devastated when I woke up with severe bleeding and cramping on July 6th. I want a baby sooooo bad and to just be a mother! I had my DR appt tomorrow to check on my miscarriage and doc said my hcg levels were 76, my thyroid was ok (he checked that too) and that everything was looking like it was going down.

He advised waiting 3 months before trying..but I am ready now. I know lots of people who got pregnant 1-3 months after a miscarriage, so I am going to start trying again once the bleeding is done. I was just curious if its true you are more fertile after a miscarriage and how long it took everyone to get pregnant again????

I got pregnant right after losing Avery....well, two months afterward.
(I was afraid of sex for the longest time!!!)
I miscarried that baby on Christmas and another one in April.
I waited a while this time and hope to get my BFP next week!

I'm sorry for your loss and want to encourage you to keep you head up.
We never know what God has in store for us!!!!

I was just lurking and had to give some input.

I had a m/c last month after 10 months of trying for #2 I was 5 weeks 6 days. My doctor said that I could try again right away because it was early and I didn't need a D&C or anything, so DH and I BD'ed like rabbits this month because I was more determined than ever!!

and I got my BFP yesterday!!!!!

so it is possible to get pregnant again right away apparently, I don't know if that is true for everyone that you are more fertile after a m/c but I am VERY thankful that it was for me.

I would not go against your doctors advice though, he/she may have a reason that they think you should wait a couple months, I am not sure of your exact situation but maybe you could call your doctor and ask if there are any specific health risks assosciated with you getting pg again right away. He may have a specific reason or he may just think that it would be best for you to wait. I say if there is not a specific reason not to I would try if you really want to. It is a personal choice and if you are comfortable with the risks than by all means get to BD'ing!!!!!

I understand your frustration... I didn't even want to wait one month. My Dr. told me to wait until AF showed after the m/c. And then start trying again that cycle. I don't think I ovulated that month anyways. I know for sure I Oed last month...but it was a BFN

I hope you get a BFP as soon as you start TTC again.

First off, I am SO sorry to hear about your loss, this is the first im reading about it...DH and I got our first bfp on our one year wedding anniversary on April 30th of this year, I was already 5 weeks along...one week later (6 weeks along) I had a m/c...my doctor also told us to wait at least 3 cycles (everyones doctor tends to says that) and I think for people who had early losses like us and that had a natural m/c (w/o a d&c) the reason they say to wait is for emotional reasons and to let the lining of your uterus build back up, as long as you dont bleed too long, and your first post-m/c AF comes in in a decent amount of time (mine came 4 weeks later) than you should be ok....DH and I waited till I got my first post-m/c AF and than started ttc again, we wanted to give my body some time to get itself back on track...havent gotten my bfp yet, but am hoping to get one real soon, and I hope you do too and that the babies will be healthy!!

P.S. I have heard that you are more fertile right after a m/c....

We had out 1st m/c July 30, 2004 at almost 6w. We waited a month and got pg with DD in Sept 04. She was born h&h and full term.

I agree too - but I had a natural miscarriage. Started bleeding Friday (7/6) and today the bleeding has stopped (7/11). So I don't think it was too long for bleeding. He didn't say I have anything wrong, just that it gives the uterus time to build up, emotional preparation etc. He said they suggest to every couple to wait 3 months. I love BD too much to give it up!! LOL My husband just got home from Iraq the end of April, and we just got married last April 2006 and only had a month together before he left for deployment. So we have a lot of catching up to do...(hope thats not tmi) I have no problem with BDing everyday! ha! Thanks for your advice though!

Lurking here.. I had my first m/c at 6 1/2 weeks in November. Our doctor said to wait 3 cycles so we did. I got pregnant again the first cycle we really tried and then had an early m/c in March. We did some testing so I had to wait a cycle for that and the next cycle we tried again (with clomid b/c I found out I have a luteal phase defect) and I got pregnant again. I'm 11 weeks right now, but I had to be put on progesterone b/c my numbers were so low. That's probably the reason for my 2 losses also.

My first m/c it was 8 months. It is best to wait three months. Just to let your body heal, I am in the same "baby wanting stage" as you right now. I m/ced on July 4th and all I want is a baby. So I do understand where you are coming from, but I just want to make sure my body is ready and healed before I try again, I don't want anything to go wrong this time around.

I had a m/c in March that required a D&C. My doc told me to wait one normal cycle. So, we did, and started trying after that. My surgery was on March 15th, and I got a postive pregnancy test on June 10th, so it only took about 3 months. I know it seems like forever now, but the time does go by fairly fast. One doc told me there was no reason to wait, although I just had to because I knew if I had another m/c, I would blame myself for not waiting even if that wasn't the reason for the loss. I mostly say go with your heart. You know what is right for yourself.
I don't think I ovulated in the month following my m/c, I definitely O'd the next cycle, but it still wasn't quite "normal" very short, but then the next cycle, everything fell into place perfectly!

Sorry for your loss, but good luck ttc again!

After my chemical it took me 12 months to concieve again and i think i only got pregnant then because i was taking clomid..i wish i had known sooner thats what i needed...it was a LONG year

Then i miscarried that baby as well...it turned out to be a blighted ovum...i went to an RE..got lots of chromosomal tests run on both dh and i, got on clomid to regulate me, got the HSG and 6 months after the BO i was pregnant again

also, i was on high levels of folic acid because my dr.s thought that i may have had tube defects and a baby aspirin each day for any possible clotting issues..it can't hurt to ask your ob about it..i swear it played a roll in my baby sticking

It took us 9 months of trying after we lost a baby in May of 07. Every month I started my period was so disappointing! My doc recommended I try acupuncture, and after just 4 sessions, we conceived! I then continued acupuncture for the 1st trimester to help "hold the baby" and to reduce the morning sickness. I've just started my third trimester and have an active, healthy baby growing in my big belly

Acupuncture has a well-documented success rate for supporting conception and preventing miscarriage. Many insurance companies even cover it.

Maybe it was just our time - but the acupuncture was the only thing I did differently that cycle. I truly believe it helped.

Good luck to you all. Hang in there, relax and take good care of yourselves.

We had a m/c in December and we waited until the middle of January to try again. We have been trying ever since but my progesterone level is so low I need a lot of help so I'm on Clomid (3rd cycle) and progesterone suppositories (what fun). But I think it comes down to a matter of timing so if you are BD-ing every day you should be good We are hoping for our BFP in August.
