Missed M/C late November. Should we try again??????

[Devon1]

Hi Ladies, went for my 12 week scan in November and was told baby had stopped growing at 9 weeks. Had a D&C 4 days later. Me and DH are ready to try again, but my GP told us to wait 3 months. Im 35 and have a 9 year old and 5 year old, and just want to hurry up and get on with it. It maybe that it could take me 6 months or more, to fall (hopefully not), so why has he told me to wait...

I had the same a couple of years ago and the advice was to wait until after you have a period and then try.
If it makes you feel better, it didn't take me long after that to become pg again.

Someone else on a recent thread was told this too. No idea why. You only need wait for one period for dating purposes.

FWIW I had a mmc in Aug 2005, another one in Feb/March 2006 and my lovely DD in March 2007 (and was 43 at the time).

Thank you all for your messages, it gets to a stage when you feel that time feels to travel so slowly when trying for a baby, before you know it, your another year older... Oh well thanks again. Good luck to you all.

Exactly this happened to me, first before I had my DS and then after him. My friend had just had the same thing happen and we were both told this. We both ignored it. I think if the time is right for your body you will conceive - not trying just made us feel even worse. But some time to heal emotionally may help too, so don't feel you have to try straight away. I was 38 when I had DS, I wrote down my thoughts whenever I was feeling negative about conceiving and would read them instead - they did tend to repeat themselves! Good luck to you, I still read my diary when I come across it from time to time, maybe soon this will be the same for you.

hi, this happened to me too and i was also told to wait three months. Its general medical adviice and is the same if you had a baby and want to have another straight away. One reason is that your body may be lacking in certain nutrients because alot of your body's stores will have have been used for the baby/foetus in the first 12 weeks especially. Another reason is that the baby hormones will remain in your system for 3 months so this may mean that you could be confused if you are pregnant or not. I was 35 when I had my missed m/c . I did wait three months before I started trying then it took me 5 months. I am 36 now and expecting a baby in 3 weeks, I will be 37 in 6 weeks. Its my first and most of my friends are having their first at the same age, so don't worry.

np reason to wait..I had a missed mc in dec 2004 and soon after d+c felt ready to ttc again and concieved 3rd month after witrh dd1. I was told the first 3/4mths after d+c you are more likely to concieve as the womb lining is 'fresher' dont know if thats crap but it worked for me
