Hi Jen, so sorry to hear about your loss, I to suffered a miscarriage last April. Like some of the posts every Dr. is different,. For me they told me to wait 3 periods, and I did wait. I found out I pregnant again in August of last yr and I am having a baby boy next week! Emotionally for myself I was not wanting to try right away. I was a little over 9 weeks with no signs of a miscarriage just found out on the ultrasound they baby's heart had stopped 2 days prior to my US, I was devastated as this was going to be our 1st. I did not want to sit around and wait for a m/c to happen and did have a d&c.. and for me waiting was the best. The healing part was hard to do but everyone is different. I wish the very best of luck for you and hope and seed plants! and out comes a beautiful baby!
Please keep us posted!

I had a miscarriage Feb 7, 2008 and got pregnant immediately and Im now 8w5d with no complications so I guess it depends on your bedy and how far along you were, and if your ready....I can say for me that having that miscarriage made me more aware of what I was doing and I changed some things and I think it turned out to be a good thing even though I was devastated at the time..... Good Luck
We are in the same situation. We also have been trying again immediately. I do not how to add to friends but if you do I would like to add you.
I was almost 6 wks when i m/c. I found out i was preg. on like a monday, then on Wed. i started bleeding and ended up with a early m/c. I was really sad, but figure God has plans for everyone. I have quit bleeding already, and feel like eeverything is normal again. If i hadn't taken the preg. test I would have never known I was preg. I would've just figured my period was late. So after thinking it over, I believe I'm gonna go ahead and start right away.
How far along were you? I had a natural miscarriage on March 5th and wanted to try right away. It was so hard being we have been trying for 2 years. Then I found out I was pregnant, same day went to the doctor and that afternoon starting bleeding with a miscarriage. Although I was only 4 weeks and 5 days I somehow wish I hadn't even taken the test.
I miscarried and had my d&c on the 20th of March.
I decided to try again straight away and I think that I'm pregnant.
The only risk is if you haven't finished bleeding, you can contract an infection from the sperm entering your uterus. And if an infection gets bad (in your uterus) then you can go infertile. But it is something that you would notice and get antibiotics for... Its up to you..
Sorry for your loss. It's been 1.5 weeks since my miscarriage/ D&C and I was the same way. I craved sex, emotionally/mentally, afterwards. I was told to wait two weeks or untill the bleeding stopped before having sex because of the D&C. Now that I can/ have had sex again I have mixed feelings about it, and about possibly getting pregnant again. I want a baby so badly, but am terrified at the same time.
Hope everything works out for you!
No problem! Hope you are better soon and you can try it again! Good luck!!
Thanks you guys! I appreciate your advice so much!
First I'm so sorry to hear that! I went through 2 m/c and I know exactly how you feel! Second every Dr. will tell you something different. From what my Dr. has told us it's good to at least have one period to sluff off some of that old stuff on the uterus. My best friend didn't wait for a period and started right after she m/c and is now 17 weeks along. I think it is totally up to the person. You need to be mentally, physical and emotionally ready before you try it again. I personally had 2 periods and am trying this week. I hope that was helpful to you. My Dr. also told me that your most fertile right after a m/c. So good luck to you in what ever decision you make.
if you just had a miscarriage last week i'd say it was too early....you need to let your body heal. I know from experience that after u have a miscarriage you want a baby right away. Jst give it time....i had one in Nov last year and got pregnant in January...so let the body heal a bit...because if u dont it could put you in danger and the baby :) good luck hunnie
