Trying after a miscarriage

Hi everyone,
I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks about four weeks ago now. I haven't had another period yet but pregnancy tests are negative so my hormones are apparently levelled out now.
I turn 36 in July with no children yet so really not wanting to delay it any more than we need too.
It was an early miscarriage, so after the initial grief, we got our heads around what happened and we tried to think more positively about the fact that we CAN get pregnant and that it only took two months.. so emotionally we now feel ready to try again.

I would love to know how long you waited before trying to conceive again and any stories you'd like to share.
Many thanks!

I'm so sorry for your loss, @cornishTJ.

The latest research indicates that there is no reason to wait to TTC after a miscarriage, in fact if a baby is conceived quickly the likelihood of another miscarriage is lower:

Not my experience, but I have two very close friends who lost babies prior to 12 week scans and conceived again very quickly (within 3 months)-both have lovely toddlers now.

I wish you luck x
