According to my best friend, and a lot of women on this forum, it is very likely to get pg immediately following a m/c.  Meaning your body has the m/c, which you can basically view as your period, then you'll ovulate about 2 weeks later and possibly conceive.

If you feel you are ready to start trying right away, then have sex every other day once you stop bleeding.  If you're late for you next period, take a test!

Good luck!

It actually depends on how far along you are when you miscarry and what kind of miscarriage you had.  If a D & C is needed, doctors usually advise you to wait a few cycles before trying again to allow your body to heal.  Again, I think this is something you should talk to your doctor about.

I m/c my first(had a d&c), waited one cycle and got pg again and now have a 12 wk old boy. It's absolutely possible to have a healthy pg after a m/c. Best of luck to you.

After 3 m/c I am currently 14 weeks pregnant(and keeping my fingers crossed) after my losses my husband and I were told to wait 2 periods and try again. I am not sure about progesterone levels but with this pregnancy my doctor has given me progesterone suppositories, which I use twice a day. Try not to be too concerned im sure when the time is right everything will work out great. keep us posted

Hello All.  I am new to the site.  My husband and I will have been trying to have a baby a year in November.  We did get pregnant at the end of April, but had a miscarriage.  I was only 3-4 weeks along.  Then my doctor told me to wait one cycle before trying again.  We did that, but didn't get pregnant again until July, well I miscarried again at 4 weeks.  
Come to find out my progesterone level was only at a 3.  The doctor says it needs to be at 14 or so.  Now I am supposed to take a vaginal creame every night.  She told me to wait one more cycle, but I haven't started yet and there is only 3 more days in August.  
We are so ready to have a baby we are 25, married for 2 years, but are so ready.  Just wanted to get some feedback about the progesterone levels and getting pregnant after a 2nd miscarriage.  Thanks!

hi am new here too.  to 'pretty girl' who was concerned about the progesterone.  the progesterone will help you to maintain your pregnancy; it can come in cream or suppository form.  b/c when we have a cycle, at first we have the higher level of estrogen that our bodies need for our cycle, then the estorgen drops off and progesterone climbs to prime our bodies for pregnancy.  if not pregnant, progetsterone drops off, if pregnant, it stays for a while to keep baby; in your case, its not climbing as it should and keeping your pregnacy so the synthetic progesterone will help you to maintain your levels.  keep in mind though that it is not a magic recipe incase it doesnt work, but hopefully will give you what you need.  many people try for a while, while a number of pregnancies end in m/c.  all you can do is keep trying, try not to let it take over your lives.... you hear the stories of how people try for a while and cant get pregnant but once they stop trying so hard or adopt, they get pregnant....  I feel there is truth to that.

I just had a m/c after trying for a year, doc said to wait 2-3 cycles to heal after D & E, but ofcourse I dont really want to.  and now am ovulating.  am having the dilemma of what to do.  any suggesstions.  ps, am sorry for all of your losses, is a difficult time, but I try to tell myself things happen for a reason, it meant the pregnancy wasnt right... better now that later.... better than something wrong with the baby....  still doesnt make it okay though!

Hello!!! I am sad to say that I did Miscarry last weekend, but I did pass everything naturally, and the doctor told us to wait at least one cycle, but we want to try now. We are going to wait though because it was heart breaking for me, but after 2 days of crying I am able to smile and move on. I would really like some advice on what I can do to keep this pregnancy next time. My doctors really didn't tell me what caused it, but I'm interesting in taking vitamin supplements for fertility and to make my uterus strong.  What are some good supplements?

[prettygirl626]

Same thing happened to me.  I misscarried twice when I was about 4 weeks.  I passed everything naturally and my doctor told me to wait one cycle before trying again.  It won't hurt anything to start trying right away.  But, I would wait until your first cycle, then you now your body is back to normal.  After my first miscarriage they didn't know exactly what happened, my doctor just said that it happens in 1 and 3 women and that the next time would be better.  Well, I got preg. 3 months later and miscarried again.  At that point we checked my progesterone and it was only at a 3 and it needs to be at least at a 10 in your first trimester. So, go to your doctor and get that checked they just take some blood.  If that is the case, then your doc. can put you on progesterone.  
My best advice is to pray and know that God's timing is always best!
Good Luck

My doc. told me to wait 1 cycle just to make sure my body was back to normal.  So maybe you would haven't to wait as long.  My friend had a miscarriage and then she got preg. 2 weeks later and she had a healthy baby.  It's up to you if you want to try sooner.  If you feel that you are ready, then I would go for it.  Good Luck.
