@Zbug: I'm sorry for your loss. I don't have any advice since it sounds like you have some specific details you're already getting care for. After my loss (@6w) we ntnp for one cycle before ttc again & got pg in 3 ttc cycles & are now cuddling our 4wk old rainbow baby. I'd just like to say best of luck to you & definitely keep working with your naturopath\Dr since you are bf'g & were on meds for your lp.

So very sorry to hear about your loss I don't have answers to the specific questions you have, I just know how incredibly difficult this time is. Your story is similar to mine - heartbeat at 8 weeks, lost at 9 weeks, d&c at 10 weeks. We had the fetus tested and it ended up being due to a chromosomal abnormality. Our ob recommended waiting one cycle if we wanted to, but didn't insist upon and said that it's the typical recommendation so that it makes dating easier, as most go by your LMP. We chose not to wait and NTNP instead. We ended being pregnant again before my period came back (about 2 maths later) and I am now almost 16 weeks pregnant. I'm still highly anxious and the truth is, i still struggle with the miscarriage. Thinking of you and hoping you'll have your rainbow baby soon feel free to pm me if you'd like!

@Zbug: Thank you! In regards to waiting, I felt much more comfortable waiting one cycle to build up a lining. Its hard to know how much lining is left after a D&C. Plus, I needed that time to heal more emotionally.

@Zbug: I definitely read that as well, and I think in the end, it's what you and your partner feel comfortable with. DH and I were okay with NTNP and felt emotionally ready. We were willing to accept the risks that may have come with it and are certainly grateful that so far, things are working out. Wishing you nothing but the best!!

@Zbug: I just wanted to express how sorry I am for your loss. My husband's and my first pregnancy ended very similarly, with a "missed m/c" and D+C. I would definitely wait for one "normal" period (which may be delayed while your HCG levels drop and you build a new lining), but especially if that's all your doctor recommends, I don't think there's any reason to wait longer unless you feel you need to from an emotional standpoint. I also don't think this kind of loss should have anything to do with your progesterone levels (although breastfeeding may affect progesterone levels?). Anyway, hopefully that helps. Wishing you the best going forward!
