How long to wait after miscarriage?

Hi all,

Wondering if I could get some opinions/advice on how soon to begin TTC again after early miscarrage....

I had a chemical pregnancy in February of this year, and an early miscarriage almost 2 weeks ago at 6+3. The bleeding has now stopped and pregnancy test is negative, I think I will probably ovulate this weekend. Is it too soon to try again then, are there risks to getting pregnant again that soon?

When I went to the EPU for my scan after miscarriage she said to ring them immediately when I get my next positive pregnancy test and they will offer me early scans and to see a consultant who may put me on progesterone and aspirin. I feel a bit reasurred that extra support will be offered, I am also waiting to hear back from the GP with results of bloods that were taken during my pregnancy.

I've read online but research seems to be mixed on how long to wait and if its safe to try again immediately.

Grateful for any advice!

@Janeykat first of all I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I would say if you feel ready to try again then go for it. There are no medical reasons for you not to, doctors usually advise waiting until after one period so it's easier to date the pregnancy and it might be too soon mentally for some people. I also have had a MMC 4 weeks ago and we have already started trying again so we are currently waiting to see if it's AF or BFP this month. Just do whatever is right for you 😊

Hey, sorry for your loss. 💖 I had my first ovulation on 18th june since my mmc in may and I tried straight away... Though I don't think it's worked and in hindsight kind of wish I'd have waited til I'd had one period first because of the worry it's caused me the past 10 days symptom watching etc. But whatever feels right for you... I've seen some women have conceived again before their first period 🤞
