I never got a positive OPK, though. I got my period and started ovulating regularly after that. We conceived on the 2nd cycle after my D&amp;C, but lost that one at 5 weeks. 6 LONG cycles after that we conceived DS. I don't think it typically takes that long for people, at least from the tons of message boards I read.... Wishing things happen quickly for you!! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2260958 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 13:50:15 +0000 chibee 2260958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry - i had a D&amp;C and my doctor told me i could try as soon as i felt ready. I waited for my period anyway, and didn't conceive that cycle but i conceived my son the cycle after! I hear a lot of stories of conceiving soon after a mc, so i hope that is the case for you as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2260785 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 11:28:21 +0000 Keybee 2260785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry for your loss! I hope you get pregnant with a sticky baby again real quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2260536 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 07:08:46 +0000 JoJoGirl 2260536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: If it helps, I had a D&amp;C and my doctor said we could try again as soon as my period came back. I can't even have any sex for most of this 'cycle' because of chance of infection, so I'm guess my first cycle back trying will be around mid-September. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2260474 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 00:24:05 +0000 Honeygold89 2260474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry for your loss. </p> <p>With my first mc the doctor I seen at the time told me to wait at least 3 normal cycles but I was very impatient so after my first cycle we try again and conceived my son. That was only 6 weeks after my mc. Good luck it is very possible to have a very healthy pregnancy after a loss </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2260379 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 21:20:09 +0000 cookiemomster 2260379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First of all I'm so sorry for your loss :crying: </p> <p>Secondly, shes not a close enough friend to get the full details from, but a woman I know had a miscarriage, wanted to wait the one cycle, but ended up accidently pregnant on her next cycle. I know she was initially concerned, but she had a fairly easy pregnancy and her daughter was born the same day as mine :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2260364 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 21:06:47 +0000 simplyfelicity 2260364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a doctor but I would probably feel more comfortable waiting one cycle since your body may have expelled more lining from the misoprostal. I know how much it sucks to wait after a loss and you are just ready to be out of this stage. :sad: I waited the one month and got pregnant the next with my son. I bet you won't be waiting long at all. Again, so sorry for your loss. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2260343 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 20:55:32 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2260343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I took misoprostal to speed along the inevitable. So I think that's more similar to a natural miscarriage, but I'm not sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2260342 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 20:55:24 +0000 Nutella 2260342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: My OB also said to wait a cycle &amp; then we were good to try again. But in my foggy haze, didn't think to ask why exactly. But I think I echo @MrsKoala when I think I'll just wait out a whole cycle before getting back on the TTC. But I don't think I'm emotionally quite ready to try anyway...everyone is pretty different I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2260338 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 20:50:20 +0000 simplyfelicity 2260338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it makes a difference whether or not you had,a D&amp;C vs natural miscarriage. With a D&amp;C, it's possible to have lining too thin for implantation. My OB suggested waiting three cycles but we waited til after my first natural AF after lots of research. I had a D&amp;C, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2260317 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 20:33:18 +0000 Torchwood 2260317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time the doctor said to wait but only cited emotional reasons. The second time we were told to wait an extra couple cycles, because I had had two in such quick succession. I was like you, wanted to start right away, so we always started as quickly as we were allowed. I personally wouldn't wait in your shoes, though I can't say if it's medically wise.</p> <p>I'm very sorry for your loss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2260275 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 19:49:20 +0000 Tidybee 2260275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got pregnant the month after my second D&amp;C, before my period came back, and it resulted in a CP. When I talked to my doc about it, he encouraged me to give my body a little bit of time to heal. We took the next month off, and then got pregnant with my now 4 week old daughter the next month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2260081 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 15:49:58 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2260081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: sure! </p> <p>@MrsKoala: sorry you're in this too :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2260073 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 15:41:10 +0000 MrsKoala 2260073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor told me to wait a month. I know that we don't technically have to but honestly, I'm too afraid of going through another loss so I'll wait even though there is no evidence that suggests otherwise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2260070 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 15:40:05 +0000 babycanuck 2260070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we tried right away and it worked right away. my friend tried right away, took two cycles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2260065 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 15:34:32 +0000 LibbyLou 2260065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: my friend just delivered her baby that was conceived immediately following her MC. Their due dates were exactly 2mos apart. I'm starting CD 1 after my ectopic and we are trying again. I couldn't pinpoint O while waiting for my period to return or I would have tried harder.<br /> Good luck! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2260061 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 15:30:33 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2260061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone :) </p> <p>We might try this month if I think I'm actually ovulating at some point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2259984 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 13:22:06 +0000 Alivoo01 2259984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry for your loss.</p> <p>My OB recommended we wait 2 cycles (at least 1 though) before trying so that my uterus had time to rebuild its lining since I had a D&amp;C. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2259983 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 13:21:37 +0000 JoJoGirl 2259983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi! Sorry again, mama. Wanna start a TTC after loss thread with me? :) I think there are a few of us on here... sorry to threadjack... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2259979 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 13:20:22 +0000 yerpie110 2259979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ob was ok with us trying right away, if we felt emotionally ready, which we did. According to her, waiting the one cycle is really just to make dating easier. We did end up getting pregnant before my period returned (about 10 weeks after my MC). We would have considered waiting once cycle had my period returned earlier. Best of luck and hoping you get your rainbow baby soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2259969 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 13:10:46 +0000 mfa_lady 2259969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only reason our midwife recommended waiting was for dating purposes--not medical ones. Thinking of you, lady, and hope the road from here on out is a smooth one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2259960 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 13:03:54 +0000 Anya 2259960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, my doctor just advised not to start trying until my beta levels were all the way down (ectopic). I must have ovulated within a few days of the 0 beta so I never got a period. I've heard of some doctors saying to wait a cycle in between, but mine didn't so I didn't see any reason not to try to catch the next egg. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2259958 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 13:03:38 +0000 hilsy85 2259958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor was also fine with us trying right away, before I got my first post m/c period. I did start trying right away, because I felt like I needed to DO something, instead of more waiting. I didn't end up getting pregnant that cycle anyway, but it felt good to focus on something new rather than dwelling on not being pregnant.</p> <p>ETA that there is no medical evidence (I asked my OB and did my own research) that getting pregnant before getting your first period post m/c increases your chances of m/c again at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2259950 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 12:59:40 +0000 MaryM 2259950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry you had to go through that. </p> <p>My doctor said the main reason most doctors suggest waiting is for mental health, not physical health. Your body is unlikely to allow itself to get pregnant if you're not physically recovered. </p> <p>I started after my first period (and he was right, it WAS super emotional!). But just a warning, it took 4-6 months before my cycles were very regular, so try to keep that in mind. My hormones were WAY out of whack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2259947 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 12:58:57 +0000 sslm 2259947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had 2 and didn't wait to try at all, one was at almost 9 weeks, the other was at 5w. I didn't great pregnant either time directly following the mc. </p> <p>I really believe it's a personal decision, we felt comfortable just going for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2259945 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 12:58:24 +0000 juli7 2259945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor was fine with us trying right away. She said that if we got pregnant before I got my period, she would just date the pregnancy by ultrasound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2259937 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 12:55:30 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2259937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have much advice as we always waited at least a cycle after our miscarriages, but just wanted to say that I'm sorry for your loss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trying-after-miscarriage#post-2259935 Mon, 10 Aug 2015 12:53:47 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2259935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I miscarried almost 2 weeks ago. I should have been 10 weeks at the time and was only measuring 6. </p> <p>We want to try again ASAP. </p> <p>Did anyone not wait to get their period and start trying right away? How did that work? Did your doctor say it was ok? </p>
