Hello ladies
This is going to be a bit rambly!
I sadly had a miscarriage on 29/11/11. I was about 5/6 weeks. Dr said that some women wait until periods have returned before TTC again but there was no real medical reason to do so. Impatient old me got straight back on board. I've always been quite regular 28/29 days. No sign of my period yet - 28 days was Tuesday. I guess my cycle may take a while to get back to normal but I was hoping not given that I was only early days and the actual miscarriage was only 24 hours. What experience do other people have of getting back to normal?
I know I could and probably should do a test but the emotional rollercoaster of that is making me avoid it at the moment. With it being Christmas and all that I have mentally decided to wait until the New Year to do a test but now my impatience has kicked in, and there are two bottles of bubbles in the fridge with my name all over them!
I don't feel like I did when I was pregnant last time - but then given the outcome that's no bad thing. The whole time between finding out and miscarrying I felt terrible, was beginning to wonder whether this was going to be longest 9 months of my life!
Any words of wisdom for little old me!
I only have my OH to bounce this off as we didn't tell anyone, it's first time for both of us so Dr Google has been our friend, although he can be a bit doom and gloom!

Sorry to hear about your mc. I've been in a similar position - 4 times!! In the last 8 months or so I have had 4 positive pregnancy tests and yep, you've guesssed it, 4 mc's !! 
All very early ones - between 4-6 weeks.
Only for the first one did I go to the docs as obviously didnt know I was going to mc or how I would feel physically and emotoinally.
With mc's 2-4, after the positive tests, I just didnt get my hopes up at all. Which proved wise.
Saying that, my cycle has always gone back to 'normal' relatively quickly and we have ttc every month. I've already said that next time, even if I feel pregnant and my period is late, I'm not going to test until I've missed another period as cant go through the whole thing of being uber excited then coming crashing down.
Besides, from my experience you dont need to do a test, your body 'tells' you if you're pregnant. I had the common symptoms of weeing more, feeling tired and feeling sick.
Its sooooo tricky - so hard not to test when you think you are pregnant and then so hard not to get excited about it!!
Do what you think is best for you and what will make you feel better - I just wanted to share my experience.
Good Luck!! 
do the test, then if you're not at least you can have the bubbly . don't mean to make light of this, I know how you feel as I've had two miscarriages since July. After the first, my period came back as normal, after 28 days. Similar after the second, period after roughly 4 Weeks but harder to work out this exactly this time. as everyone is different, only a test can give you the answer, there's no point putting it off really.
Good luck anyway, we'll be trying again fron this month on. hope it works out for you.
Thanks for your advice - I have actually been back to the docs since the last MC and have now been put on the waiting list for further investigation at the specialist clinic. The doc did say though that it could just be bad luck and that in the grand scheme of things, we havent been trying that long (though it seems it to me!).
Oh well, enjoy the bubbly everyone - if you're allowed!!
