TTC after miscarriage before first period?

I’m going through a miscarriage right now, been bleeding for 7 days straight but I think it’s getting gradually lighter.

I feel pretty empty after this experience and just want to be pregnant again. After a scan today I asked the nurse when I could try again and she said to wait until after my next period but it could take 6 weeks to return. I haven’t finished bleeding yet so it could be a good 8 weeks before we can start trying again.

I’m thinking once the bleeding stops and I get a negative pregnancy test we might be able to start trying, but I’m concerned about further issues if I conceive too soon? On the other hand, part of me also thinks that if I’m ovulating then surely my body is ready to conceive?

Please could anyone share their experience of getting pregnant before their period returned and what the outcome was? Or if anyone thinks it’s best to wait?

PS I do feel like I have had time to process the experience and really do just want to move on, so I don’t feel any need to wait for that reason.

thanks in advance 🙏🏻

I'm going through a MMC currently. I plan on TTC when I ovulate as I can usually tell when it's happening. It means not waiting for a period. I will wait for a negative test first though. How long should I wait to before testing for pregnancy?

I’m so sorry for your loss @WasitacatisaW. It took me two and two days weeks after my surgery to test negative but it will depend on how far along you are and how high your hcg is. Good luck x
