Just plain sucks. :heart:<br /> @blackbird: This is an excellent point. I am leaning more toward preventing next month just to be safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1854133 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 21:44:21 +0000 simplyfelicity 1854133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@singingbee: I cannot even imagine your loss. Thank you for your advice. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1854129 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 21:42:54 +0000 simplyfelicity 1854129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: Please let me know. I don't want to wait if it is unnecessary but definitely don't want a third miscarriage in a row. Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1854054 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 20:08:55 +0000 78h2o 1854054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I am pretty sure my sister just waited one cycle after her D&amp;C, but I will check with her in case it was 2. She got pregnant that cycle and had a successful pregnancy. She had been trying for maybe 8 months before the 1st pregnancy/D&amp;C. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1854051 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 20:06:26 +0000 singingbee 1854051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: my dr told me to wait two cycles after our loss, but I also had to recover from delivery since it was a 20 week loss. We waited three and then it took us 7 cycles to get pregnant. She is now 11 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1854047 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 20:01:43 +0000 simplyfelicity 1854047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: Yay!!! As much as I want to NTNP next cycle I probably need to wait longer due to the D &amp; C. Fingers crossed for you! :goodluck: :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853895 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 17:43:58 +0000 Jess1483 1853895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: no, it was natural. OB said after first AF. Hooray! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853817 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 16:37:51 +0000 dolphin 1853817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor advised waiting after our first cycle. We did and got a BFP right away, but that ended up being a chemical pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853807 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 16:29:09 +0000 simplyfelicity 1853807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: Please do! I do not want to try right now as it seems super risky, but I feel like after my first AF should be good. You had a d &amp; c, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853757 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 15:53:59 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1853757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine advised not to TTC during the m/c cycle. He said the next cycle insures everything is flushed out of the system. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853586 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 14:06:56 +0000 Jess1483 1853586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for asking this question! I'll update with what my OB says today, but she'd have to be mighty convincing for me not to try after my first normal period (which should hopefully start very soon). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853572 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 13:59:54 +0000 blackbird 1853572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: A D&amp;C scrapes your uterus, which thins it out. It makes sense to me that you would need a few cycles to recover from the D&amp;C versus a natural mc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853570 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 13:59:27 +0000 bushelandapeck 1853570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I guess it was the first cycle post m/c. I bled for 7.5 weeks, stopped, then had a normal period a couple of weeks later and got pregnant that cycle. I avoided trying until the bleeding finally stopped for a couple of weeks. We were very lucky though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853532 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 13:45:09 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1853532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my losses were very early, so my various doctors only ever suggested a month. I complained after my first loss, but the reasoning was good since I was starting a new supplement that needed to get absorbed for a while first (folate). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853509 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 13:32:50 +0000 simplyfelicity 1853509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GoGoSnoGirl: Thank you and best of luck to you, too! :goodluck: :heart:<br /> @mrs.shinerbock: That must have been so hard. :sad:<br /> @Leialou: Same here. I probably won't be pregnant before my first due date (end of December) but I am really hoping for my second in March. Wishing you all the best with the embryo adoption, I have learned so much from you! :goodluck: :heart:<br /> @Mama Bird: I am 4 weeks out today and have been having some cramps...I really, really hope this is it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853500 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 13:29:19 +0000 simplyfelicity 1853500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: So, the cycle between your m/c and first period? That's amazing! Congrats!<br /> @lilteacherbee: @MaryM: @78h2o: @blackbird: @Anya: @imbali: @runnerd: Thank you all for your insights and I am sorry your losses. I read that you really just need to wait until the cycle after your first AF, so I am glad you have confirmed that. My doctor told me to wait two cycles so that I don't miscarry again because it is too soon. That seems like pretty antiquated advice but I am not sure if it is different with a D &amp; C. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853183 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 11:18:51 +0000 lilteacherbee 1853183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I waited one cycle, until after I had my first period after the m/c. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853178 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 11:17:51 +0000 78h2o 1853178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor told me to wait one cycle after my natural mc @ 7.5 weeks (mainly so that they would know it was a new pregnancy and not a remnant of the miscarriage and also for dating purposes...which makes sense in retrospect because my cycle with the mc was about a week longer than usual). We waited until I had gotten AF to TTC again. I got pregnant that cycle and had a successful pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853170 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 11:14:59 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1853170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I'm sorry for your loss. My OB said we didn't have any reason to wait, especially given that I'm older. It was an early loss (6 wks) &amp; likely due to chromosomal abnormalities, so since my cycle returned to normal after m/c bleeding (which also didn't last long), we started trying again the 1st normal cycle. Not pregnant again, yet, though, 3 cycles post m/c... :goodluck: :heart: to you when you are ready to begin again. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853162 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 11:13:11 +0000 blackbird 1853162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine told me 1 month. You finish the bleed from your mc, then wait for your next period to come. Then you can TTC. That's what i went off of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853067 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 10:37:50 +0000 Mama Bird 1853067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Three cycles... which seems reasonable in hindsight because that's how long it took to get back to normal periods anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853055 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 10:29:47 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1853055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My RE didn't give me a time but she did tell me not to rush. It will be at least 7 post after the loss before we are going through a new treatment cycle. I really hope I'm pregnant again before my would have been due date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853054 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 10:27:44 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1853054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because my mc was a partial molar pregnancy and there is an increased chance of uterine cancer, my dr had us wait for 1 year and had monthly blood tests done. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853039 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 10:17:27 +0000 MaryM 1853039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor said it had more to do with how we felt emotionally than waiting a certain number of cycles. They said to definitely wait until the bleeding stopped, but after that, to consider if we were both physically and emotionally ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853037 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 10:16:23 +0000 Anya 1853037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted no wait, but really I had to wait until my beta went down to 0, which happened to be before I ovulated, so it wasn't a full cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853030 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 10:11:08 +0000 mlm2934 1853030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor said 3 months initially, but when I pressed her on it her reasoning was for emotional healing rather than physical </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853027 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 10:04:55 +0000 imbali 1853027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sitation is a bit different b/c I gave birth to a 20 week old but my OB said wait one cycle before trying again. It took us five cycles to conceive again after our loss. hugs to you :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-ob-tell-you-to-wait-to-ttc-after-mc#post-1853014 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 09:54:39 +0000 bushelandapeck 1853014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took me 7.5 weeks to get my period after my m/c. We tried that cycle and got pregnant. My OB had just said to wait until I had one normal period, which that one was. I'm almost 36w along now :) </p>
