Well, I miscarried at 9 weeks back in September. I had a d&c on 9/17. So of course, I have to have the long recovery afterwards. I pretty much ble off and on (it was light and brown) for about 2 months following the d&c. After a vaginal U/S, it looked like there was some old blood that was “stuck” so my doctor prescribed 10mg of Provera for 10 days to induce a period and hopefully flush out whatever was stuck. I took my last pill on 11/18. The next morning, I was using the restroom and felt something drop and it was this big brown thing with little gray strands coming out of it that looked like a clot (it was about the size of a peach’s core). But I don’t think it was a clot b/c it was hard whereas clots are usually soft and jelly (sorry for the odd descriptions). So I was so happy to pass that b/c since passing it, there has been NO brown stuff at all so I’m thinking that’s what they were seeing on the U/S that was “stuck”. So I appear to be back to normal. However, I am on day 10 since taking my last pill of Provera and there is no AF in sight! I can’t even feel the on coming of a period… uughhh.
Now my question is, it has been 2.5 long months of waiting for my body to get back to normal so DH and I can try again. We definitely want to try again now more than ever! However, we are somewhat at a disagreement. I am just so frustrated with waiting and I’ve been back and forth to the doctor and told that everything looks normal blah blah blah so I pretty much just said forget the waiting, let’s just start trying now! However, DH thinks that we should wait til I have a couple periods to make sure everything is ok. Yes, that is nice and caring of him but it’s been almost 3 months post d&c, I should have had a couple periods by now but my body just had to be difficult. I had a period about a week and a half before starting the Provera but after the heavy bleeding and cramps stopped, my body just continued spitting out the brown stuff up until I passed that clot. What do you ladies think? Do you think it’s ok to just go ahead and jump back into trying again? Or should I wait for a couple periods? Is there anything wrong with trying again now?? I’m not saying we have to do the timing and all that, I just said we don’t have to “be careful” and if it happens, it happens. We haven’t been using any protection until I started taking the Provera b/c I know it isnt good to be pregnant while taking that so DH just pulled out. But do you think it’s ok just to go with the flow and see what happens?? :confused:

I would wait until you have another period. that will do a couple things for you... it will show you that your body is over the stress of everything and also it would give you a date to calculate a due date by. I know it is hard waiting to try again i was there to and it was horrible but in the long run if you wait it will be helpfull and hopefully help in carrying to term. Good luck and take care hope this helps!

I was very early when I miscarried and had my levels drop rather quickly. I have been told to wait until after my period and it seems like forever away. It is due in a few weeks. I can't imagine what you are going through having been traumatized both emotionally and physically. I agree with waiting, as well. Good luck to you!

Not sure how wise my fiance and I are then. I had a natural miscarriage starting on 12-12 and ending 12-23 - no bleeing since then, called the doctor and doctor didn't want to see me because bleeding had stopped on its own and I was told we can start having sex again if we wanted. Not that we are exactly trying for a baby right now, but we are having sex - had sex for 3 days striaght now - lol - sorry but it feels good to get back to being somewhat normal. My doctor of course said to wait for at least one normal cycle before falling pregnant, but he did also say he has had lots of women fall pregnant before that time and they all have had healthy babies - he's not opposed to that at this point. I personally don't see why you guys can't at least have sex - even protected sex - mine isn't, but that is just me - and see what happens. I understand what your DH is saying as well, but if your ready to at least start having sex then maybe you can go for it.
Good luck, sending you baby dust anyways.
