6 weeks for me - I had a d and c Jan 2, first AF Jan 31, conceived around mid Feb and got a BFP Feb 28. Prior to that it had taken more than a year to conceive. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I was lucky in that I concieved straight away (does your head in a little bit though) but I figure I had to wait 8mth for the first one so it was the least my body could do for me.
I decided to start Ov testing and just lucked out that I guessed the right time to start testing - 4 weeks after the MC. I've got a stack of ov tests at home that I've been holding onto until I got an all clear at my 12 week scan, if all goes well this afternoon would you like them? (free to a good and happy home, cos I hope I don't see myself TTC again before october 2010) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We waited one cycle and then got pregnant on the next cycle. My body treated the m/c like a period and I ov the same time I normally would have. (I get ov pains) and my next period turned up on day 26 just like normal.
My doc told me that it can take up to 6 weeks to get your period back so that's something for you to keep in mind. Have my fingers crossed for you that you get a sticky one soon. -------------

I was told to wait for two months, after that I got preggy straight away. I wasn't sure when I ov, and I actually thought I'd missed the window of opportunity but I hadn't - so was very lucky to get a nice surprise. The line on the preggy test was much stronger than with the m/c pregnancy.
Best of luck and lots of positive baby dust vibes sent your way

| Twins run in mine (both Mum and Dad's sides) but not DH's....it's quite funny, because my ob was saying the other day that he sees a lot of twin mums who have conceived their twins straight after a m/c - they're investigating it at the moment, but there is no actual evidence yet to support the theory that twins are more likely after m/c.... |

I m/c last Oct and still haven't conceived...bought some ov sticks last month and thought we would def conceive this cycle, but doesn't appear to have happened 
I think stress def doesn't help, we tried for 6 months last year, then booked a trip to the US and thought we'd leave the baby plans until we got back - and conceived that month. Think may have to see a fertility specialist soon though - can anyone recommend a good one? |

it took me 9 months to conceive after my m/c (which ended up with a D&C) and that was with me charting my temps and using OPKs every month too - I had a pretty stressful time at work while we were TTC so I think that played a big part of it - and when we did finally conceive again it was while both DH and I were on holiday, all relaxed without any stress from our workplaces!
If we hadn't conceived that month, we were going to the doctor to be referred to a specialist - but obviously didnt need to! Oh - and I had also just begun acupuncture treatment just before we fell pregnant! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  DD#1 Sept 08 DD#2 Oct 09 |

Thanks Emachan - good to know. I've been v. stressed at work lately so perhaps that is not helping!
Got a holiday coming up at Easter - and all the dates line up - yay, fingers crossed! |

| Wow really Flutterby...I think a lot of it for me, is probably due to being completely traumatised by the m/c process...it may be unconciously hindering our conceiving! |

Yep, I was completely traumatised and heart broken, I wanted a baby so much. I even buried her (alone, my partner of the time didn't hang around while I was a bit nuts). I just couldn't get over it for a while, then I wanted a child desperately, and then when I decided that I wanted to forget and move overseas and work for a year or two and have a baby after that, I got my BFP. ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

| I just found out that I miscarried about a week ago. The Dr. told me to wait 2 months until we ttc again and to making sure we use contraception. Otherwise he said I may just miscarry again. But I see that lots of you didn't do that. Do you recon I should wait???? |

Its probably best to go with what you've been told (if you can).
I wasn't given a time frame after mine and when I spoke to my GP about my BFP she said it was totally fine to be preg again so quickly. But I guess I had a by the book MC so there were no complications. Alot of old school drs like to tell you to wait to make dating a new pregnancy easier - but there are scans for all that sort of thing now. I think if I'd had a more complicated MC I would have taken a TTC break. Also getting pregnant again quickly kinda does your head in a wee bit - but then I'm sure its heartbreaking to have your first AF afterwards as well. HUGS!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi KatieAnn
I've had 2 m/cs - the first was fairly traumatic and we had to wait 3 months before TTC again and when we did, we got a BFP straight away. The second was pretty straight forward and our Obstetrician said he is happy for us to TTC again as soon as we felt ready - so we are. According to him there is little medical research to support the theory that if you got pregnant before you'd one cycle it increases your risk of miscarriage and he also said if we did conceive straight away, that he viewed it as my body's way of saying it was ready. At the end of the day though, it comes down to when you think you are ready. Everyone is different |

| Thanks heaps for the advice. I think we'll just kind of see what happens....Won't use any contraception but won't really try hard out. Hopefully what is meant to happen will happen!!!! |

| I also don't know what to do. The ob said to wait a couple of months but I was too dazed to ask why. Seems like most of you guys haven't done too much waiting...We'll see, I'll do a bit of reading. I like the potential link to twins...I would love to have twins... |
Posted By: KatieAnn
Date Posted: 09 April 2009 at 8:40am
| Haha...I was thinking the same thing! Twins would mean lots of work and probably even more changes....but the thought of it excites me. I would be so happy with that outcome, however I would be completely happy for just one to sick it out with me!!!!! |

Just to let everyone know, I started this thread after my MC last month and now I am BFP again!! This one feels so much more positive.........the symptoms are stronger and i got a BFP 8DPO, whereas my other i only got a positive 15DPO.
Im really scared to tell you the truth cos i dont know how well i would handle another MC.........although im pretty sure this one is fine!! |

| So I think I am preg again!!!! Hasn't even been quite 4 weeks yet since my mc but I woke up 2 nights ago with really sore boobs. I decided I would do a test just to see if anything would show. It didn't...the test was negative but am guessing its just too soon to know. So I'll just be playing the waiting game! |

That's great news KatieAnn, my fingers and toes are crossed for you!!
Just out of curiousity, did you have a "natural" miscarriage or a D&C? I had a natural miscarriage on the 9th of April and we are currently trying again also. |

| I just had a natural miscarriage. Good luck with trying again. Hope it is a short phase for you. :) |

| False alarm for me...not sure why all of a sudden I had sore boobs, but not pregnant again! Not yet! Fingers crossed for next month! |
