Should I wait

[allalone]

How long should I wait before planning again. The doctor said to wait till I get a few periods. Does this mean that I should be taking precautions during this time? Or should I not use protection and if my body is ready, i will get pregnant? Has anyone else experienced it? After losing my angel, i desperately wnt to be pregannat again fast....

i was told to wait one cycle... that just about killed me!
I think it depends on the miscarriage to reason they may ask you to wait. Prehaps go back and clear it up with them, how many cycles to wait, and why... would would happen if you didn't wait ect.
We used protection in the first month. I have also heard of people falling pg staright away. Good luck it can be a tough wait!

allalone...sorry again for your loss :hugs:

You can start trying whenever you feel you are ready to. They usually recommend you wait at least one cycle to make sure eveything has returned to normal...we started TTC cycle after our m/c.......

good luck and all the best!

I had different doctors tell me different things. One doctor said wait for 3 periods before you start trying and another said you only need to wait for one. I think it depends on you! And also on your age and the amount of time it takes to conceive. For me personally it takes a while to conceive so we only waited for one period. Amazingly it only took 2 months after that to concieve again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A MIRACLE!!!

Thanks Bec...It is hard for me to wait for even one now:) I will wait for one and go for it....:fingerscrossed:

I think if your body is ready it will happen.

I was told to wait a few cycles as well. We didnt bother using any contraception and were pregnant the next month. I now have a beautiful 14 month old.

Only you know you feel but if you are emotionally and physically ready, i would say go for it.

My OB also told me that you are most fertile after a m/c.

Hi guys - I'm a newbie and in the same boat. I had a missed miscarriage, then D&C at the start of August. From what I can tell there's no reason to wait after a D&C but I'm scared that if we rush and the same thing happens we'll feel like we should have waited...

I think I'll be TTC in September. After all, it could take months and months and the dilemma will be answered for me!

And thanks everyone for the posts on here - it's great being able to search for info and other people's stories any time I need answers :kiss:

I feel I am ready and can't wait....if your OB is right, i might be pregnant again soon.:D

I m/c towards the end of last year and was told to wait quite a while before trying again. I waited till I stopped bleeding and then my partner and I tried again. We were not trying to have a baby because at the time i did not want the trauma of another m/c. However, I must be extremely fertile because I fell pregnant almost straight away. My bubs is due in about 10 days:smiliedance: .

I don't want to sound like a doctor, but if you feel ready then you should go for it.

i concieved dd 1 2months after my 2nd mc;)

[Littletreasures]

My GP told me to wait at least 2 months before TTC again so as that my body could get back to normal, and during that 2 months we have been using protection but only for another 10 days :smiliedance:

I'm still waiting for AF after my D&C - it's now six weeks and the wait is killing me!

I'm definitely going to start trying as soon as AF is over.
