How long did you wait after miscarriage before ttc?

Hello all, I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks, the hospital said that after 2 weeks if a pregnancy test is negative then it's fine to start ttc again because ovulation will happen again before 1st period.

So at first I thought that was good hopefully not to have to wait too long but then I went onto Google and have read such conflicting advice about waiting for 3 months before trying to get womb fully healed being safer and then other articles saying you are most fertile the 3 months after so that's when to try.

I have no experience or knowledge of this one way or another so I wanted to ask any ladies what you did? How long you waited before ttc and conceiving and was everything ok?

Thank you

Tried immediately, got pregnant but resulted in miscarriage. Then waited a couple of months and the same happened again. Waited nearly a year then was successful.

I tried immediately and was successful, it's perfectly safe according to my midwife, as long as there was no reason you had a miscarriage instead first case.
Good luck!

About 2 weeks! Got pregnant immediately afterwards and I’m now 21 weeks 🤞

The nurse at the hospital told me to wait a year to allow myself to grieve for my loss. I was nearly 42 and didn't feel that I had time on my side for that, I was already panicking that the miscarried pregnancy was my last chance. Started trying straight away and conceived four months later. My rainbow baby is now 3 years old. There were no problems with the pregnancy.

I tried immediately after my 11 week miscarriage. I got pregnant next cycle which I’m grateful for but it was kind of rough being pregnant for a whole year more or less. With hindsight it might have been healthier to wait a bit

I waited 3 months because I personally needed that time to recover. Conceived right away when started trying again.

I was advised to wait until after my first period by the staff at epu, I didn’t do that but didn’t concieve that cycle anyway, it was a weird cycle don’t think I even ovulated. Fell pregnant on the 3rd cycle of trying, good luck☺️

Tried straight after first period and got pregnant but unfortunately another mc.

Been trying since 2nd mc and 6 months in no bfp.

Thank you for all of your replies and I am sorry for all of your losses.

The hospital told me there was no increased chance of a second miscarriage after having one but obviously it is a worry and I wonder how true that is and worry about rushing into this and it happening again because my body wasn't ready, but at the same time I feel I really want to be preg again as soon as I can.

So sorry you had this twice in a row @Anewhoo and i'm sorry you are still waiting @potogold, hoping this fresh new year brings you a healthy bfp 💗

I wanted to try immediately after but realised I am just too sad and needed time to recollect myself.

My doctor told me to wait one cycle to give my body a restart and also because It is easier for tracking pregnancy if I know when my last period was (as miscarriages doesn't count). At the time I realised that if I wanted to do it immediately, I can just track ovulation which will help with the pregnancy math.

I conceived 4 months later.
