I'm very sorry for your loss. With the help of my RE and fertility drugs I was able to conceive. I carried until 8 weeks 3 days, and had a m/c... RE said I could start again with my next "normal" cycle.... on the 2nd cycle got pregnant again... sadly at 10 weeks m/c again. Neither required d&c. I am on my 2nd cycle since my last m/c and praying for another BFP. All I can say is make sure you are ready emotionally. For me, even though I m/c, I took time to mourn and then jumped back in. I felt I had to! After the bleeding from the m/c stops, wait for the next cycle and go for it. The main reason dr's suggest waiting (according to my RE) is for the woman's emotional state and they don't believe the uterus lining is prepared enough... all I know is my heart feels empty when we aren't trying! I am saying a prayer for you tonight and feel free to message me anytime you need to talk. Good luck and tons of baby dust!

I'm really sorry for your loss Gogoldgoldie :( Its really hard isn't it.
When I miscarried in April, I went through ups and downs of wondering whether or not to try straight away or wait, the Midwife said wait one cycle.
It took appx 8 weeks for my first period to return after miscarriage.
We never used protection, but we never really tried to conceive either, we were just leaving it in the universe's hands :)
I've now had 2 cycles since that miscarriage (appx 30 days each), and am actively trying now to conceive this time round, but it took me a while to work out whether that was a good idea or not.
It can be such an emotional rollercoaster, and also when your body is recovering from a mc you can be quite run down.
Just do what works for you, you'll know when you're ready :)
Goodluck with whatever happens, and stay positive :)

I also waited for my fist cycle to end after I miscarried in may at 6/7weeks, first cycle was very heavy though, Gyn put me on tablets to stop the bleeding, had it non stop for 10days. So then in the cycle after that we tried to conceive again, and we managed to, I got a positive HPT on 12DPO but on 15DPO started to bleed like my period but only for 3 days then after that negative HPT, so I think was very early miscarriage. So my advice is to wait a cycle or 2 before trying again, maybe your body needs time to adjust and will be good for your emotional wellbeing as well. Good Luck...xx

So very sorry for your loss. I have been there twice before and it hurts every time. Last time, I was 9 weeks, so close to where you were. We waited one normal cycle before trying again. We ended up trying for a few months before being put on Clomid. After three months of Clomid (2 at 50mg and 1 at 100 mg) we finally got pregnant and I am now 18 weeks. As long as you have had a normal cycle, it should be fine to start trying. Good luck and baby dust to you!

Hello, sorry for your loss. Before you start make sure you are ready physically and emotionally.
I had a early scan at 9 weeks last month and it showed I had a missed miscarriage (blighted ovum). We both knew we wanted to try again straight after i've recovered. Today is the first time my hpt's have come back negative, strange wanting tests to come back negative when we wait ages for a bfp. This now means i'll be waiting for my af to show, I hope shes not going to be ages. My consultant advised to wait until i've had a period before we try again. Everyone is different and how they feel after miscarriages, there is no hard and fast rule when you want to try again. I think preparation is good, get some opks and hpts in stock, and also prenatals in so when you are ready you have them. I continued to track my bbt as I wanted to know what my body is up to, i'm also exercising and eating healthy and preparing my body again, and also pampering myself in the process. Good luck hun. xx

Hello gogoldgoldie,
My thoughts are with you on your loss, I too am just getting over a missed miscarriage and my thoughts were the same, I was told there was no real reason other than they like you to have a period after the miscarriage only for accurate dating for when you next get pregnant and possible emotional reasons. we both feel emotionally strong to start again so for that reason alone we are starting to TTC as soon as i get a negative hpt. But as every woman is different so are opinions and you must do what feels right for you and your partner.

I wish you the best of luck on your journey <3
