Hi
I am sorry for your loss.  I miscarried at 14 weeks and the doctor at the hospital told me I could try straight away.  I had one period and the next month I was pregnant.  My daughter just turned 4 in February.  As much as you would like to be pregnant again my best advice would be to wait and grieve your loss.  After my daughter was born I went into a severe depression because I didn't grieve the son I lost.  I hope everything works out for you.

I miscarried in Aug and my Dr. Said I can try right after I got my next period. The body has a natural way of heeling on its own and I'm glad we did try BC he was right.

Sorry for your loss. I miscarried last July at 8 weeks. My doctor said to wait 3-4 months before trying for another baby and I got pregnant 3 months after my miscarriage. Now I'm 30 weeks with a baby girl:) wait a few months and let your body heal then try when you're ready.

Sorry for your loss. I've been there. I lost my first pregnancy at 8 weeks. It took me awhile to go back to my normal cycle. They wanted to make sure my hcg level went down to 5. It took 2 months to go down. Then about 3 months later, I got pregnant again. I'm 37 turning 38. 40 I'd still young and as my ob said to me, since you were pregnant once, you can get pregnant again. Good luck

Sorry for your loss, I just miscarried last week at 8 weeks. So I feel your pain and wanting to try again. My ob likes me to wait at least two cycles so my body has some time to heal.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It is a very hard thing to go through. It's so hard to have an answer when you'll conceive again. It depends on how long it took U to get prego this time... I'm not sure if you've seen a dr for this last pregnancy. Some drs want U to wait a cycle (1month) before trying again. Others say try right away while ovolating. Get ovulation strips so U know when you are ready. My girlfriend w both her pregnancies 1st miscarried then got pregnant again. 1st time she was prego 2 months later, this second time she didn't get prego for 5 months after the last miscarriage. Every1 is so different it's hard to pinpoint a
