Babymiracles - I'm sorry that the IVF messed you around so much, and even more sorry that your little miracle was not destined to be born into your arms. I had to have a D&C when I lost my angel, but thankfully the staff at the hospital were fantastic. I don't know how I would have gotten through the day if I had had an experience like yours. My obstetrician told me to wait 2-3 cycles before trying to conceive again, but at my post op visit 6 weeks later I told him we started trying again once I ovulated the first time. He then fessed up that the main reason they say to wait is so that if you fall pregnant it can be dated easier, and for emotional reasons. He said that he's had many patients that have had successful pregnancies after falling straight after a loss. He also mentioned a slightly increased chance of miscarriage though, due to the lining of the uterus possibly not being thick enough. He did mention not to have intercourse or use tampons for at least two weeks because there is a risk of infection due to them manually opening the cervix. Oh, and the time it takes until you ovulate is generally determined by the amount of hcg that is still in your system. For me it took between 3-4 weeks before I began to ovulated again.
The most important thing at the moment though is for you to allow yourself to grieve the loss of your baby. Do what feels right for you, because there is no right or wrong way to grieve. You have come to a great place for support, and I wish you all the best in yout TTC journey. PS. Like your username says... "baby miracles" DO happen!
Tam - How annoying about the ultrasound lady! You would expect that they would at least be able to tell you something in your own language! And to not know what a septum was when that's what she should be looking at! I hope you FS has some better answers for you!
