I had my post d&c checkup with my doc today and she said everything looks healed, which is good news. She asked about our plans for trying again and I realized I hadn't really thought about it or talked about it with DH.
I know there is not one right answer for everyone but just curious about what worked for you and why? Thanks!

Both of my losses were natural, and very early. After my first, I wanted to start trying right away, even though I was advised to wait a month. After the second, I wanted to wait at least a month to do some testing and heal mentally. We thought about waiting 2 months, but we were ready to go again after 1 since all test results were in and some protocol changes were made.

Our doctor advised to wait 2 cycles (not for medical reasons, just emotional healing). That's what we did and got pregnant with LO on the first try.

I didn't have a d&c, but we didn't wait to try at all, just waited long enough for my bleeding to stop and me to feel comfortable having sex. We got pregnant on our third try after our m/c.
So sorry for your loss!!

I had a natural missed miscarriage in October and still haven't seen a sign of AF yet - however, we're ready to get back on the bandwagon. We will be trying as soon as I'm ovulating! 
So sorry for your loss, and I wish you and your DH a happy and healthy pregnancy in the future.

Sorry for your loss! We waited three months, I needed some time to decompress and heal.

I had a very early miscarriage and my ob told us to wait 6 weeks to try again. I ovulated at the 6 week mark on the dot and got pregnant again. I've heard fertility is increased immediately following a miscarriage, but I'm not sure how true that is.

I miscarried last year in September and we didn't wait to try. I got pregnant in November which was 2 cycles after the mc. I feel very fortunate I was able to get pregnant quickly.

I skipped one cycle post miscarriage, tried again the next cycle and got pregnant with my daughter. I'm really glad I took that month off to heal physically and emotionally.

Both of my miscarriages were natural and pretty early. We didn't wait at all after the first, and I got pregnant again right away. After the second, we waited a month before TTC again. Hoping that you can back to TTC soon!

I've had 3 miscarriages, 2 were D&Cs and we waited/are waiting a few months to start trying again. My natural miscarriage, I waited until I stopped bleeding and we tried again after a month. I got pregnant with my son that time around.
I find waiting helps me to heal. I'm so sorry for your loss!

@Crystal: Yes. I had a D&C and only had light spotting after it. It took about 3 months to have 2 cycles. We weren't actively not trying during that time, but we were being a bit more careful than before.

We are waiting until the bleeding has stopped then we will start trying again. Mine was a medically managed missed miscarriage.

Both times I have waited a cycle. Meaning, let the m/c bleeding stop, wait for AF to return naturally, and then start trying again. I think my first few cycles may be annovulatory anyway.

I miscarried naturally and was told to wait 2 cycles before ttc again. So we did. It took us 3 or 4 cycles after that to get pregnant.

Thanks ladies! My OB encouraged us to wait a cycle but I was unsure if she meant wait until I get my period back this month, or wait until the one after that. We are leaning toward sooner rather than later for a variety of reasons and have not been using protection, so we will see what happens...

I just waited until AF came back after the D&C - at the 2 week follow up appt, my dr gave us the ok to ttc again right away if we wanted to, but we waited until AF came back. I think the only way i could have moved on from the miscarriage was to be able to try right away again. I'm in my 2nd cycle post-D&C.

@mfa_lady: thank you for the good wishes!
@chibee: I think we are on a similar track, although I am 3 wks post d&c tomorrow and we have not used protection for the last week...oops! I doubt I am KU but I can't believe I didn't think it through! Good luck ttc for you!
