How soon after D&C would you try for another?

[JeanieJ]

I just had a miscarriage 2 weeks ago, which was incomplete, so needed a D&C. I was 11 weeks 😢.

I'm really devastated as it took 20 months to conceive and I'm scared it won't happen again.

Today I did an OPK - it's nearly positive & I also did a pregnancy test (faint positive, but I'm not pregnant - it's just the hormone leaving my body). I've got all the other ovulation symptoms.

I feel like TTC again in this cycle, but I don't know if it's too soon? I just feel like trying again will help me feel like I can do something about our miscarriage- even though our baby is gone.

I haven't told DH because I know he'll think I'm mad to not even wait for my first period after miscarriage.

What do people usually do?

My OB GYN asked me to wait until the first cycle after my first period. I thought it was to do with dating but he said if you've had a D&C, which I had, then the body needs time to build up a proper uterine lining and he was worried if I conceived before that that it could be a risk for a future miscarriage. So we waited a cycle to start trying again.

I got pregnant 3 months after my miscarriage. I didn't try for the first months because I was too upset.
