Hi ladies, can I join your thread?

Here's my story:

Sadly, I miscarried on Tuesday of this week, 22 May. I was 5 weeks and 5 days. It was our very first month of TTC.

We saw our GP on Monday, was sent for a blood test to confirm and she called me later to tell me my HCG was only 13 when it should be in the 100's. I'm having another BT on Monday to check my HCG again to ensure it gets back down to 0.

I've told my boss my whole sad sorry story and he has given me the rest of the week off work, he is wonderful.

My GP has suggested we leave TTC until AF returns next cycle. I am trying to be positive but feel sad at the same time.

In the space of a week we have experienced incredible highs and incredible lows. DH has been wonderful, this is a shared experience and although bad, has brought us even closer than before.

I guess the good thing is that we know we can get pregnant. It just wans't meant to be this time.

I called my FS also and the nurse also told me to take precautions this month and then have a HyCoSy next cycle, we will also start BT's for ovulation tracking again.

So my question is: I don't think I'll need a D&C, so how long until AF should return? Also, I've read that some GP's and FS's say you can TTC as soon as you finishing miscarrying, yet my directions are to wait until AF returns?
