I got pregnant two months after a m/c. My daughter is now almost 10 months old and thriving. Just try to conceive when you're ready.

I had a D&C on 12/10 (missed miscarriage) and my Doc told me to wait 3 cycles before trying again......As some others mentioned...I think it's more when you and your body feel ready....I feel great....never felt physically bad throughout any of it...so we're going to TTC this month and every month until it happens again!  From what I understand, alot of their reasoning for telling us to wait is due to dating...it makes it easier for them to determine when you conceived, etc. if you've had 3 or more 'normal' cycles.....I say try again when you're ready for it!  Lots of luck to everyone TTC!

They say to wait one cycle... But you can start trying right away if you want to.. It all really depends on your body and your emotions.. After a loss like that you might want to wait.. You might not.. It depends.. Just be in tune with your body.. i just went through a m/c 2 week's ago... And I am already gearing up to try again..... It really depends on your body and if you passed it naturally.. If you passed naturally then you can start right away, but if you had a D&C then it's best to wait...

Make sure you are emotionally ready. And on the physical side, my doctor advised me to wait at least one full cycle, just to make sure the hormones were back to normal levels. If you try right after a mc, you may get false positives when you take a HPT again because the hormones from the mc are still there. We waited one full cycle (mc in mid-November, got period in mid-December, then started ttc after that) because it was right for us. I felt very much back-to-normal physically (thought I never would!) and emotionally steady enough to deal with all the rollercoasters involved with ttc!! No one can answer the question of when to try except yourself - trust yourself to know when it's time. :) And of course, best wishes!

firstly im sorry about your loss.... as for me when i had a missed miscarriage I had to do D&C.... I was advised to wait 6 months to fully recover... however I know and read that most DRs advised after one cycle you can try again conceiving ... specially if you have had a natural miscarriage without a d&c... I would also guess when you are mentally ready to do so.....
