We went with good ole fashioned pull and pray (been nearly a decade since we used a condom - couldn't imagine doing it now). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-birth-control-after-your-miscarriage#post-1482370 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 21:24:09 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1482370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-birth-control-after-your-miscarriage#post-1482369 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 21:23:30 +0000 Weagle 1482369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. My doctor told us that she likes to advise patients to wait for emotional reasons, but there is no medical evidence to support needing to wait even one cycle post-mc. So we didn't try during the next couple of months, but we didn't prevent in any way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-birth-control-after-your-miscarriage#post-1482352 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 21:14:16 +0000 singingbee 1482352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just used condoms. I had to wait 6 weeks before he would okay anything because I delivered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-birth-control-after-your-miscarriage#post-1482348 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 21:09:27 +0000 chibee 1482348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ob told me to go for it after the 2 week checkup after my D&amp;C - but i waited until AF returned, because I bled for almost a month straight. That cycle was a bust but i got my bfp the cycle after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-birth-control-after-your-miscarriage#post-1482346 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 21:09:08 +0000 blackbird 1482346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just abstained. Honestly I didn't want to have sex and I bled for about two months so it's not like we were doing it anyways </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-birth-control-after-your-miscarriage#post-1482339 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 21:06:42 +0000 LovelyPlum 1482339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just used abstinence and charting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-birth-control-after-your-miscarriage#post-1482316 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 20:52:47 +0000 swedishfish 1482316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: we made an appointment with our RE for early April. We were planning on a FET in May or June before all of this but he thinks it might be better to try on our own for a few cycles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-birth-control-after-your-miscarriage#post-1482313 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 20:50:51 +0000 swedishfish 1482313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah, sorry I should've been clearer. I meant any form of birth control. I'm never going back on BC pills ever, haha. DH wants to use condoms but he's always been uncomfortable with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-birth-control-after-your-miscarriage#post-1482305 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 20:46:54 +0000 Tidybee 1482305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doc said to wait 3 cycles because of a higher risk of miscarriage. I don't want to wait but I don't want to rush and have another m/c. So torn. But I'm not going on the pill. Will probably do mix of abstaining during middle of the cycle and pull n pray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-birth-control-after-your-miscarriage#post-1482272 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 20:34:13 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1482272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No we just abstained and used condoms. I didn't want to have to come off hormones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-birth-control-after-your-miscarriage#post-1482266 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 20:33:21 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1482266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did after my second. We were told to hold off TTC for a few cycles, and going back on the pill made theost sense. </p> <p>It also regulated my cycle so we had a set start-date with my RE instead of hoping I'd get a period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-birth-control-after-your-miscarriage#post-1482262 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 20:32:06 +0000 Torchwood 1482262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We chose not to wait to start trying again, because in my research it looked like the only reason for that recommendation is for emotional healing. In my case the last thing I needed was to wait and just sit around focusing on how I wasn't pregnant anymore. After my second, the maternal-fetal specialist said to wait just one extra cycle, to give my uterine lining time to recover because I had two in such quick succession (less than 3 months apart). We just went back to the pull-out method for that time (it's worked for us for 8 years). I wouldn't go on the pill or anything, if I were you, because you probably don't want to be making your hormones any more crazy than they already are.</p> <p>I'm really sorry you're going through this. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-birth-control-after-your-miscarriage#post-1482215 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 20:22:10 +0000 wonderstruck 1482215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Although I haven't personally experienced it (and I'm so sorry you're dealing with this), I would follow your doctor's advice. Your body needs to heal, and I'd give it that time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-birth-control-after-your-miscarriage#post-1482204 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 20:20:39 +0000 swedishfish 1482204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OBGYN said to wait one cycle before TTC if we choose to do so. Did you use birth control in the meantime? What did your doctor tell you? </p>
