My wife and I also m/c and are devastated. We've read all sorts of things regarding WHEN it's safe to TTC. So we are confused. We've read this: 1) wait until after your next ovulation 2) there is no need to wait as there is no data backing up that getting preg immediately after m/c increases chances of another m/c 3) there is research backing up why you should wait (although I have yet to see it online....people just mention there is research) As far as I know, as long as your hcg levels are at zero, you can try. Can anyone shed some light on this and provide links or something substantiating a physical need to wait one cycle?

Totally sorry man,
My girlfriend and I were in a car accident and we lost our baby too. Totally feel your pain.
As for ttc again, before the DR found internal bleeding and decided to give her an emerg. hysto. he said to wait 1 cycle before trying again. I would listen to whatever the DR says.
Sorry again.

Hi there I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I know it can be hard waiting to try to conceive but I do think it's best in the long run. As for the medical/physical reasons...our doctor let us know that it was best to wait because there is a greater chance of some tissues from pregnancy still in the uterus after a miscarriage. These kinds of "leftover" tissues can very much interfere with a future pregnancy, and miscarriage percentage is highter when this has occurred. Waiting a cycle or two increases the chance that those possible leftover tissues have been shed. Also, she told us that in the case of a problem with the uterus/ovaries...this could present itself more clearly in a normal cycle than in a pregnancy. Those problems could also be ruled out or dealt with before another pregnancy loss. Basically...waiting is the best choice to avoid an unnecessary repeat miscarriage. Not that it happens to everyone...but it can happen, and waiting just gets rid of those chances of it happening to you again. Besides those physical reasons...even if you and your partner feel emotionally ready to try again, or feel the need to conceive again driving you...sometimes those feelings can be masking the deeper pain that needs a greater healing than mere replacement pregnancy. Not that I know your situation...but just want to suggest that you examine how much healing you both have done from the loss, and I hope you have found a peace about it apart from wanting to try again. At least from the female perspective, I know it can come back to bite you in the ass when you are least expecting it... Well, I wish you both a recovery both mentally and emotionally, and good luck in your endeavors. Kelly

I miscarried in June. My dr. said to wait two cycles for the reasons HannahMom wrote above. I had my first cycle and did find that I passed some tissue (which really surprised me). I also think it is a good idea to wait so that when you do become pregnant you can let your dr. know when the date of last menstrual period was and dr. can be sure that hcg levels and ultrasound results agree with the date of last menstrual period regarding conception/due dates. I knew something was wrong with my pregnancy when my due dates based on last menstrual period and US measurements differed by a month. Best wishes.
