TTC after miscarriage - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

I miscarried 11/8. At least that is when the bleeding started. My doctor told me I could start trying again after my first period. He said it could be 4-6 weeks from the miscarriage. That means I have to wait 6-8 weeks before I ovulate. I hate waiting!!!

Anyone else TTC after a miscarriage?

Blue & Lost, I am so sorry for your losses. I miscarried 10/11. I was told I did not have to wait to start trying again, which of course I wasn't going to do anyway! AF came on the 3rd of this month and I should have ovulated towards the end of last week. AF is due again on Dec 1st. As if miscarrying wasn't enough, my pap also came back abnormal and I am going tomorrow to have a colpo. I'm a little nervous about that b/c I've read that a biopsy should not be peformed if you are pregnant. If we were successful this month, it is definitely too early to know. I just wonder if he sees something, will he take a chance and do the biopsy? Like so many other women, I never imagined it would be so hard to GET pregnant and STAY pregnant!

So sorry for everyone...I miscarried on 10/8. RE told me to wait 3 periods before starting again. I was also told that it could take up to 6 weeks for my period to return. I guess my body was not too traumatized because I had a typical cycle following the m/c.

I know my sister-in-law was also told 3 cycles not only for the physical aspect, but also emotional/mental. Her doctor told her she would less likely have post-partum if she was more emotionally ready.

Best of luck with trying again!

Thanks for sharing! Good luck to all of you.

I didn't ask, but I assumed I was told to wait so that it would be easier to date the pregnancy. My last AF was 9/30. I miscarried at 11/8. If I get pregnant before my next cycle, I think it would be very hard to try and figure out my dates, other than an u/s of course.
