I just had a d&c yesterday. I should have been almost 10 weeks, but the baby stopped growing at 8 weeks (a week after we saw a strong heartbeat). I had a sch but the thought it that the loss was probably due to chromosome issues as the sch looked to have dissolved this week.

Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions for getting preggo again after a loss? My dr told us to wait one cycle before starting again.

It seems like many people are put on progrsterone for their next pregnancy. Is this a just in case measure? My progesterone was fine the one time they checked it.

Has anyone used vitex to regulate their cycles after a loss? I was actually taking vitex this time to lengthen my luteal phase (I'm still breastfeeding, which is what likely caused the shorter LP). I stopped taking it once we found out the baby had died, but I'm wondering if I should start again. I'm discussing this with a natropath this week, but I would love if hear if anyone has any insight.

Anything else I should do or know about?

Thank you all so much.
