How long do you have to wait?

[LadyRaven]

So it doesn't strengthen the uterus to wait or anything? It all bounces back super quick?

Someone told me the other day one of the easiest times to fall pregnant is just after you have been pregnant. I dont know how true that is so dont quote me, but apparently your body is still in the baby making frame of mind.

After my mc I was told to wait 3 months, but after speaking to my doc last week she said it doesnt make much of a difference, if I was to fall pregnant now I should be fine. Its just giving yourself time to heal emotionally I think. However you should have a good talk to your doctor about it just to see what he/she thinks.

There are varying opinions (as usual ) Some believe it is better to wait to allow a normal cycle to recommence. Others believe you can try as soon as you are emotionally ready. Some say it increases the risk of miscarriage to fall pregnant immediately. Others say there is no difference whatsoever. Some sat to wait 1/3/6 months

Unfortunately, as with any pregnancy, there are no guarantees You may fall pregnant immediately and have a normal, uncomplicated pregnancy or you may not. It is impossible to say. At 15 weeks, you are a second trimester loss which should be discussed with your OB. There may need to be additional tests to determine if there is a why to your loss which may impact on your next pregnancy. This may make you consider alternatives of when to TTC.

I had a talk to the dr about bubs, I described him and that there was a pool of blood under the skin at the back of the brain, they think its a clot or a haemorage or that it didn't develop properly and that is probably the reason. With a already healthy child they said there is no reason I can't TTC as normal and I didn't need any tests at this stage but they didn't say if I should wait or not and I was very drowsy and slow witted so forgot to ask.

I have heard /read so too.
My Doc says soon as i was emotionally stable thats what we are going with

[LadyRaven]

ty for the kind words, i will wait till the bleeding stops and give myself a cycle to recover then talk to DP about it. he's very scared if we try again next time they wont b able to save my life but he is also male and will ravage me nonetheless lol so we will see how we go now i know i dont have to stress and avoid the prospect for months etc its ok if it happens straight away it wont be bad for me

I was told that the further along you are, the later it can take your cycle to go back to normal.
But after losing ours at 12 weeks, I am back to normal already, not even 4 weeks later.

But definitely make sure you are emotionally ready. I know I wanted to just think of trying again straight away initially. But now that I'm not allowed to, it's given me time to relax a bit and go through it all, and I think it's helping me cope. And it's certainly like having a second chance to be ready for pregnancy.

Ty snuggle, sorry I haven't replied to your PM again yet I've been a bit scattered and trying to catch up with uni work (who gives a bleep about bleeping politics, hate it at the best of times let alone now gah). How are you feeling? Have any tests come back?

Does anyone know how long you should bleed for after a D&C, I'm still bleeding but only a very light period watery sort of bleed, no clots or anything. I couldn't get a dr appointment for a follow up till next week.

Before I m/c naturally, I was scheduled to have a D&C if I were to need it. When I had my surgical consult with the doc, she told me bleeding typically lasts for about 10-14 days. I'm still having light bleeding after m/c naturally last Thursday. I really wish it would stop! I feel like I won't be back to normal until this is over and DH and I can start trying again.
