tips for conceiving quickly after miscarriage?

I am very heartbroken since finding out I was losing our first baby on the 26th, and finished miscarrying naturally a few days ago. Although we are still hurting so bad we would love to get pregnant again as soon as possible,  as we don't feel that waiting would ease the pain of our loss at all. Does anyone have any by tips for conceiving after miscarriage? I'm still taking prenatal vitamins, and steering clear of those foods we're supposed to avoid during pregnancy including caffeine.  My obgyn cleared us to begin trying again as soon as my cycle returns. Thanks in advance!!

I Had a miscarriage in October It was so hurtful to lose a baby even if your not far along!! But im pregnant again i just found out yesterday and im scared because i dont want to miscarry this one.. So my advice to you is give yourself some time to let your heart heal and when your ready go for it and if you become pregnant again try not thinking about miscarriage! Although its always a rick in the first trimester! Have a blessed day!(:

I had a miscarriage last year in February and like you, we wanted to try again :) we weren't trying to replace our baby! I didn't conceive until 2 months after that happened. And I've just tried to reduce stress and keep a healthy diet that isn't full of sugars ;) haha but now I'm 29 weeks almost 30 with a healthy beautiful baby boy :) he's very healthy but he might be diagnosed with spina bifida so we have to go down to the Iowa city hospital to can an ultrasound for who knows how long :\ I'm just glad he's healthy otherwise! :) good luck to you! :)

I know it doesn't make it easier but your body is an amazing machine. Sometimes miscarriages are due to the body rejecting the baby for a reason like maybe he or she would have been sickly.  All in time if it's meant to be it will.

hab63380 why would you say that you need to grieve and give your body time i think putting your body threw that again after so soon lossing 1 its pretty self if you get pregnant again its more likely happen again and infections aswell your body needs to get back to its normal way before trying again its a lot of strain on your body and lossing babys is horrible and yes its hard but you know you need to be patient and let it happen on its own when youve had 3cycles then maybe try again but its not fun and games when it comes to getting pregnant and carrying it and stuff and just because you have a period it doesnt mean your bodys ready it just means that your bodys getting back to normal trust me wait as long as possible the longer you wait the better good luck

Thanks ladies for sharing your stories! It gives me hope that there is a baby in our (hopefully not so distant) future!  And @hab63380 I agree! The pain never goes away no matter how long you wait! But I guess some people do benefit from taking some time off from trying after the loss. Which is totally understand able.  Every one is different :)

My dr okayed it after i had my first period too .. he actually put me on medication to help speed up the process even though ir very fertile after took 3 mos and i was preg again i was terrified the whole lreg that something was gonna happen but he came out healthy as could be and now 30 wks w our 2nd when i got preg w my son after mc when i got to the month i got preg i pretty much was to the point i didnt think i was ever gonna get preg again then when i least expected it morning sickness hit and 2days before missed period found out i was preg ! Good luck ! Its a very tuff sit to go through idk y ppl say to give urself time to grieve its been two alil over 2 yrs since i miscarried and im still not over it but God def has his own plans i realised that even more when my son was born exactly one yr to the day that i had found out i had lost my precious Angel! He didnt make my pain go away but he made that day alittle easier ... Prayers ur way i hope u concieve soon and all goes well!

Give your body time to heal. Trying too soon after can result in another loss. I was unfortunate enough to learn from personal experience.

I know exactly how you feel.. I went through what you are going through in May. I didn't do anything special and we weren't exactly trying our hardest to have another baby, but I got pregnant about three months after my miscarriage.

Thanks for your advice and I'm not trying to replace my baby. I love him/Her very much and will always mourn our loss but I know my heart and it will not make a difference if I wait or not emotionally.  My dr. Said it doesn't matter if you wait once your period comes back it's your body's way of saying it's ready. I don't feel we are rushing it I just mean I'd like to have a baby sooner rather than later because it took us so long to conceive.  I'm so sorry for your losses and I hope your pregnancy ends well this time around!

Give your self time to heal and to grieve pregnancy isnt easy i tell you and espeacially if your rushing to get pregnant so soon after you miscarried as you are more at risk of getting infections and loosing the baby again you cant rush these things and ive lost 3 baby 1 missed miscarriage and I lost 2 prem girl born 23 weeks first baby and my 3rd pregnancy my baby girl came at 21weeks and 6days and both of them passed away so if i were you give yourself to get better and think bout other things instead of thinking bout getting pregnant so soon it breaks you after loosing a baby and if it happens again its worser and more painful good luck and please wait a couple of mouths

That's pretty much our philosophy to begin with. When we started "trying" before,  we just had sex when we felt like it, and didn't do anything extra because I think it's better to let it happen when it happens :)
