when to start again

[madhouse49]

Hi ladies
I was just wondering when you started to try again after a MC
My MC was on the 6th Feb and feel ready to try now
I did a test the other day and got a bfn so know theres nothing left of my MC and my hormones are back to normal
so when to start again

I have never been in this situation but I think the time is right when you feel comfortable and DP/DH are happy to try again. xx

So sorry to hear your news.

I have unfortunately been in this situation, and to be honest my answer would be whenever it feels right for you and your partner.

After my 1st, I waited 6 months because I wanted my body to recover completely, and I felt emotionally drained and upset. After my 2nd, I waited 3 years as the thought of mc again was just too hard to bear.

If you can wait a month or so longer, just to give your body a chance to get back yo normal, I would - but, if you feel ready then go for it. Only you know if it feels right for you. And I'm unaware of a medical need for giving your body a break - just my choice.

Good luck x

I wanted to try again right away, my body din't allow me. My friend fell pregnant within 8 weeks and miscarried again and is still having problems passing clots etc 5 months later. My advice would be listen to the experts and give your body at least 3 cycles to recover and get rid of old blood etc. It's really hard to accept this is best but it's only a short time compared to the rest of your life.

I had an MC in August. We tried again the middle of the month after unsuccessfully and then conceived the month after that: BFP in October. I was told there was no medical reason for us to wait once the MC had concluded and I am now 24 weeks. I am glad we tried again straight away so I think whenever you feel ready is the right answer! Good luck. MC is an awful experience but it doesn't mean the same thing will happen next time x

I had a MC in May last year and according to my obstetric consultant the advice has changed, you can start trying as soon as you've had a BFN, you don't even need to wait for your AF. That's unless you've been told otherwise (e.g. when they're doing tests to find out why it happened). I got pregnant in the next cycle and am now 38 weeks.

The consultant told me that the most important thing was to do what you feel is right. Only you know if you're emotionally ready, if you're physically not ready your body won't let it happen.

I would recommend the ttc boards, there are a few threads for people ttc after mc. They were a great source of comfort and support for me.

I had a mmc in august at 18weeks and was advised to wait for my results before trying again. I was desperate to be pregnant and results were slow to come through so we tried two months later in oct. I got a faint bfp but af arrived 6 days late so maybe I wasn't physically ready. I was disappointed but less frustrated than the previous month when I felt we were wasting an opportunity. (time is a factor I'm 41)

In the three months I ate loads of super foods, took my vitamins and the highest strength manuka honey. I finally got my results the day after my late af, no reason found for my mmc. We seriously tried that month and I am now 17 weeks. Good luck.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I think trust your instincts on when to try again but also be aware that your body may have it's own ideas.

I had a MMC at 13 weeks last year, and I was desperate to try again quickly, but it took nearly 10 weeks for my AF to come back again and then I didn't ovulate for the first cycle. I am PG again, but it has been a bit emotional because of what happened last time, and I've realised that I would have struggled to cope had I fallen PG again any sooner. My body knew what it was doing after all.

Again, sorry for your loss - and the painful losses of others on this thread - I wish you all the best as you try again.
