Hi all, my name is Amber, and I guess I'll be joining this board soon. I had a D&C on Wednesday and so far, I am doing pretty well. My doctor just said he wanted to see me in a month, and that we could start having sex after a week. My question to all of you, is how long were you told to wait to TTC again? I wasn't told anything yet; he talked to my DH briefly after surgery but I was in recovery so I didn't get to talk to him at all. I just don't have any idea what to expect.

Thanks and I look forward to getting to know you all.
Hugs to all of you here b/c I know you have dealt with losses as well.

Hi Amber,

I'm so sorry for your loss!!!!

Personally, I wasn't told to wait after my loss. I had a natural miscarriage and decided with my husband to wait 3 cycles to try again. Now we've decided to wait until March 2008 to begin trying.

Some ladies are told to wait 3 cycles so that your lining builds up again and you're able to have a sticky baby. Others are told 1 cycle, it all depends on the doctor.

I wish you and your husband nothing but the best!!!

I am very very sorry for your loss.

I was 8 wks 3 days and also had a D&C and was told to wait atleast 3 months for my uterus to heal and regain strength and lining.

Some say wait one cycle, but I think thats more for a natural m/c. not a D&C.

I would stay protected until your follow up appt. Or call your dr. and ask.

Hi Amber!
Welcome to our board. That said I also wanted to say that I am so sorry for your loss. I was 10 weeks when we lost our last little one (Sept 22). My doc told me one cycle. But I also went in know we were going to TTC again and told her I didn't want to wait the 3 cycles I had to with my other M/C. Doctors say different things...usually 1 or 3.

Hi Amber

I am so sorry for you loss

When I m/c at 14weeks (natural followed by a D&C) I was told to wait one cycle. I was told not to have sex for two weeks after the D&C.

I can't wait to get to know you...and I hope you see a BFP soon after you start TTC again.

Hi Amber. I am sorry to hear that you lost your little one.

I personally waited 1 cycle before I started ttc again but I also had a natural m/c.

I look forward to getting to know you better.

Amber-My doctor said to wait 1-2 cycles after my D&C. I have a follow up next week, so I will see what he has to say then, but I am kinda leaning more towards 1...

Thanks everyone. I am looking forward to getting to know you all.

At first I thought I wanted to wait a while to try again, but now I don't want to wait. I want to be pregnant more than ever after experiencing it all again. My DH originally wanted a fall baby, so maybe he'll get his wish after all.

My doctor is very liberal about things. He let me start working out again (very cautiously) only 2 weeks after my c-section. So I'm hoping he'll have the same advice for TTC after my miscarriage. I know you all know how I'm feeling, but I just LONG to have a baby inside me again. I feel so empty right now, and I want so bad to give our son a brother or sister.

I wish you all the best and can't wait to learn more about each of you!

Hi Amber!

I have been thinking about you, and am happy that your d&c went well. My OB told me to wait 2 natural cycles, then try that very next ovulation. That sets us up for end of jan or beginning of feb. But we are also going on clomid and iui that month and had and incomplete d&c with possible infection. As for my personal behavior I might be aiming for the target during my january ovulation. 2wks after your d&c you should be ovulating, check and see. I was surprised that I have ewcm and +opk today (day 12 after my d&c). I thought because of the complications it would be later. I did see on ultrasound this last week a follicle growing on my right. Last preg was from left ovary. I hope that you are successful soon!!!! After all, a scorpio baby would suit me just fine being pisces and all.
