I had the glimmer of glimmers of a line and period was about 3 days late the month before I got pregnant w/LO#1 - I've never been 100% if that was a chemical or not, but I didn't wait and wouldn't have DS1 if I had!

I don't think there is any reason at all to wait personally.

I waited, but also needed that time emotionally to heal

I've had several. Twice I waited and other times I did not.

I'm sorry for your loss

I'm so sorry. I was only told to wait after my D&C to allow the lining to build up again.

@Iced Tea: I'm sorry per my OB's instruction, I waited a full cycle after my D&C for an 8-week m/m, and got pregnant again. That second pregnancy never really took off and I miscarried naturally at 6 weeks. They told me to wait *another* full cycle. I didn't, and got pregnant a third, finally successful, time--I'm now 32 weeks with a boy. I also wanted to know what the reason was to wait, and I gathered it was mostly for their timing/dating records, which I didn't think was a good reason (I was charting/impatient). I also heard from a lot of women on HB who miscarried naturally and didn't wait, and got pregnant the next cycle, like some of the pp's here.

I'm sorry for your loss. I had a chemical on dpo14 or 15 and my OB's office said I could try again right away. They only asked me to wait a cycle after my later losses.

I had very little bleeding and no cramping with my chemical. I was about 5 weeks along. Doctor OKed TTC and we got pregnant again the next cycle. That baby is 8 months old now and perfectly happy.

It did lead to some minor confusion at the OB office as my file didn't have the miscarriage listed correctly (or the providers missed it a few times) so sometimes the staff thought I was 4-5 weeks further along than I was.

I was thinking along the same lines you were, after I miscarried at 6 weeks. None of the reasons for waiting a cycle really seemed legit to me at all. So I didn't wait. We didn't get pregnant that cycle but I'm glad we didn't wait. It was the right choice for me, emotionally.

I waited (not by my choice though, my DH wanted a break). I'm glad I did in some ways. I was sad and it took a while to feel better but I think it was good for me to wait. I think it really just depends on whether getting pregnant again right away might help you emotionally.

I am currently in the middle of a CP. It was our first month TTC so we were surprised to get pregnant so quickly, and the loss was just as unexpected.

So now I'm on CD3 I guess. We will be trying again this cycle for sure. Although last month was our first TTC, we'd been trying since Christmas but I hadn't had my period until the end of June! Encouraging to see many women can get pregnant the cycle straight after a CP. Baby dust.
