When to TTC after DNC?

[lulu24]

Hello.
I am 24 years old and I just lost my baby May 6th. I went for regular check up. I supposed to be 13 weeks but the u/s showed that my baby died at 8 weeks. I had no since...no bleeding, nothing. It is horrible to know that you have death baby in you for so long. My world just crashed. I was so sad. One day you are pregnant and end of the same day you are not. I had DNC same day. I was crying all the time but with my husband's support I am little better now and I am willing to start TTC again.

I don't want to wait 3 months. I think, I can't deal with it. I want the baby so much. Can somebody tell me, if it is safe to try after first cycle after DNC? I am desperate to try again. Please, let me know, if somebody had same experience.

Thank you so much.

I'm so sorry to hear that. You must be so upset.
Did they tell you to wait 3 months?

I guess all situations are different, they told my friend to have a period then she could try again after her D&C, this was because the lining of your womb isn't good/thick enough after a D&C to sustain the egg if it fertilises. Maybe you can ask a doc if it would be ok for you to do the same? At least you know you can get pregnant now.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost a baby when I was 16 weeks pregnant---I went in for a normal routine checkup and found out the baby had died. The Dr thought it had been dead for a couple weeks.I had a D&C three days later.

I was like you...I didn't want to wait to get pregnant again. The only way to get over my sadness to a large degree, was to get pregnant again. To focus on new life instead of the loss.
I am hearing more and more that Drs no longer tell you to wait 3 months. I didn't wait at all. We started TTC right away. It still took us four tries though. My personal belief is, that if your body is not ready to get pregnant again, you won't. If it is, you will!
Looking back, I know my body needed a few months to regulate. And, on the other hand, there are many who get pregnant again immediately.Some without even having a period!
SO listen to your heart, and your gut.I was desperate like you.I know just what youre feeling. Everyone hurts a little differently, and if getting pregnant is what helps you, then go for it. I KNOW it was the right thing for me.

"If" your doctor advised you to wait 3 months, then that is what you should do - they are trained, know YOUR personal situation and are best to advise you.  Aside from emotional considerations, in  some cases serious complications can result if you conceive to soon after a MC - it is important to follow any guidelines a trained professional gave you regarding this.

Thank  you so much. I feel like it is good for me. I want baby so much and it is so hard to deal with it. Like you said, I want to focus on new life even I never forget my what happened.
