Ok to TTC right after M/C?

My husband and I found out 2 weeks ago we were expecting twins, then last Wednesday we learned we had lost one of them. My hCG levels were low last Monday but when repeated on Wednesday had doubled perfected. Christmas morning I woke up and we bleeding bright red, I prayed and it stopped, only to return later that afternoon. I prayed some more but it didn't stop., I went to the ER hoping it was the twin we lost, but alas my levels had dropped to 285 and I was m/c. The doctor was very nice and compassionate and told me it wouldn't happen then but a couple of weeks down the road. WRONG as soon as I got home I was bleeding really bad, had horrible cramps and major clots. I passed both gestational sacs at once.

I am heartbroken, my poor husband doesn't know what to do for me. I want my babies back.

I want to TTC again ASAP. Is it okay to do so or do I need to wait?

I have let my OB know as soon as I test positive with each and every pregnancy. I do not understand why he hasn't done any testing. His office re-opens tomorrow from the holiday and I'm going to call, I tried to today but they were still closed. I want to know why this is happening. There is no rhyme or reason why I should have to keep going through this.

have you talked to your dr about what might be causing your miscarriages? 6 m/c's is really cause for great concern. There can be things the dr can give you to prevent the early m/c's as well. Baby aspirin, progesterone etc. It seems you don't have trouble getting pregnant but keeping the pregnancies. I would definitely folllow up with your dr. Also - the next time you are pregnant - go to the dr asap. The earlier in the pregnancy the better. demand that you see them. if they catch it early enough, meds or early ultrasounds etc can help prevent the m/c.

This is my 6th m/c. It never gets easier. This has been by far THE most painful m/c I have had. I felt like this was my last chance at having a baby and I feel so lost. I am still young, my husband is too and together we have 3 beautiful children, but only one is his and we another chld together so badly. When they told us twins we were overjoyed. To end up ended handed yet again is so devestating. I was so angry last night I put a hole in the bedroom wall. That didn't make things better but got dh's attention that I really am hurting when he thought that it should all be okay. I want these next 2 weeks to go by fast so we can TTC.

you can definitely start to try to conceive right away again. some docs want you to wait one cycle or 3 cycles but I have friends that have m/c and gotten pregnancy the very next cycle. I also had a m/c back in july and it is devastating. I still think about it. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy but i will tell you, the pain gets better.  Hang in there and good luck!

Wuaoo I'm so sorry to hear that :( Unfortunately I can't give you any advise since I'm doing my first IVF now, and don't have much knowledge about it..but what I can tell you is to be hopefull and put it in God's hand. I would say to give your body some time, and then try again. IT WILL HAPPEN, thats for sure! Good luck :)
