I am so sorry for your loss, Believe me it does get easier. My husband just told me the other day that i have a lot of anger inside and i am taking it out on him and our daughter who's 7. I didn't even realize how i was acting until he pointed it out to me. It's very hard to deal with but I am very eager to TTC again ASAP, i feel that the pain will start to fade when i know i am pregnant with another baby. "my opinion."
I went to my dr today for a follow up from my D&C and she told me all of these feelings are natural and also take into account that you still have pregnancy hormones in your system that will began to fade. It's ok to grieve, cry, get mad, it's all natural. You wouldn't be normal if you didn't have "any" of these feelings. If you need to talk your are more than welcome to msg me.

I had a D&C on the 23rd.  I lost my baby at 10 weeks and 3 days.  Right now im struggling and I just desperately want to be pregnant again.  Will my pain go away when I get pregnant again?  How do you move on with your life?

Hi.

Sorry for your loss I also had 2 d&c.

You can get pregnant right away usually with in two weeks of the d&c. Some doctors will tell you to wait 3 periods before ttc again. But in my case I could not let 3 months pass and not try. When you first have the d&c your body will be most fertile for the next few months. So, its kinda good to try right away but then again others will argue not too. I guess it really all depend on your mental status and how u feel about ttc again. I wish you all the luck in the world that you will be able t-c soon and u have a healthy pregnancy. Dont give up hope or loose faith.

I am so sorry for your loss. I had a D&C on November 5th, and as of Monday my HCG levels were back to normal so my hubby and I are TTC now even though I haven't gotten AF yet.
Emotionally I am ready, and physically I feel fine, so we will see what happens. I would start trying as soon as you feel ready. I hope you get a BFP soon, if you need to talk or need a baby dust buddy I am here :-)

I have had my DandC 21 OF October after that I was thinking, that I want TTC straight away, but I felt very bad emotionally and we decided to wait till my first af. Now its 6 weeks I am still waiting for af and I understood, that I am ready TTC again, but my body not...Now I would like to give time my body to heal...For my periods come back to normal and then TTC again..
I think its just you can decide when you are ready TTC, because every woman are different and nobody cant tell you when its safe, just to give recommendations...Take care xx

I agree every doctor do say different recommendations.  I do know with myself I miscarried naturally at 14 weeks and when I was in hospital I asked the doctor straight after when I could try again and she said whenever we are ready.

I do think miscarrying naturally and a dnc may have different recommendations.  

My best advice would be to try and heal emotionally before you start trying.  After my miscarriage I desperately wanted to fall pregnant again and my hubby and I didn't start trying but didn't take precautions.  About 5 and a half weeks after my miscarriage I got my first af and then I fell pregnant 2 weeks later.  I really struggled with this pregnancy and still find parts of it hard.  Just take time to heal and listen to yourself :)

HI there.

I have had 2 D&C's.  My OB always told me one cycle was sufficient providing there were no complications and it is a first trimester loss.

Every Dr. seems to have a slightly different recommendation.  Don't hesitate to question your Dr. as to his/her reasons if they tell you longer.

Take care.

Sorry about your loss. My doc told me to wait 3 cycles after my D&C. He said it was to ensure the lining had built back up enough to support a pregnancy.  But I've heard others who only waited one cycle and everything was fine. I'm surprised your doctor didn't give you information about trying again.   Good luck.
