Just Miscarried - How Long to Wait to Conceive Again?

Sorry to hear about your ordeal. I know from my personal experience last summer, when I had a miscarraige, my OB said to wait at least 3 cycles (months)! But I also didnt miscarry on my own, had to go in and have a DNC. But i did conceive at exactly 3 months after!

M...I am really sorry about both of your losses.I just wanted to let you know that I had a miscarraige in oct of 06, and got pg again in dec. Neither pg was planned but there was no ill effects on my body getting pg so soon after the pg. Good luck~K.

The advice I was given (15 years ago) was 4 months. I also lost a pregnancy at 6 months. You sound amazingly mentally healthy, good for you. (I ignored the adivce and started trying at about 3 months, I couldn't wait, but it took 6 months before my body was ready to go again, things happen when they are meant to.) Relax, and enjoy your family.

If I remember right we were supposed to wait about 6-8 months - I was worried about the spacing between our kids - but I love it now!

Don't rush it - It is all in God's Plan.

Sorry for what you went through - I know how you feel - it didn't get me emotional, either - I was at about 2 months - but had the horrible experience of bleeding those gushes for 2 months until the doctor finally said this is enough. I had a D and C. Doctor said that my body still thought it was pregnant. That was why the bleeding went on so long.

have a great day!

i had a miscarriage and conceived 2 weeks later. i wasnt trying to get pregnant again but it happened. (really fertile after a miscarriage) my daughter is now 9 years old and doing fine. i dont know what the doctors recommend but my pregnancy went fine with no complications. i would say whenever you are ready to "go for it". Good Luck

Hi M.,

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I was reading some of the advice other women have posted already. I also had two back-to-back miscarriages as some have stated. My first one was at 14 weeks and the second was at 9 weeks. I was advised by my OB/GYN to wait through two cycles after each miscarriage before trying again. I found out that I have MTHFR (a blood-clotting disorder) which prevents oxygen and nutrients from reaching the baby. I am happy to say that it is treatable and I am now pregnant again and have reached week 17.

Take care of yourself and have fun trying again.

I think it's real important that you see your Doctor on this one. most likey everything is fine, but you need to be sure. Also if you're looking for some supplemental income and still be home with your kids, let me know. Our company also has a health savings plan!

I think it varries on how far you wre in the pregnancy. You obviously were not very far. I had two misscarrages early on as well. After my first miscarraige, my doctor said wait 1 cycle. I did, got pregnant right away, and misscarried that one. Well, I just wasnt up for D&C #3 yet. Doctor said wait 1 cycle again. Really encouraged me to get going again. I waited I think 5 months. That turned out to be my son who is sleeping in my arms right now.

I too had a miscarriage at 14 weeks in June of 06. I had to have a DNC, and my OB told me to wait at least one cycle before trying again. I chose to wait 8 months and became preggers again in Feb of 07. I did deliver a very sick baby boy, but he is gaining strength day by day, and I have no regrets. Good luck in whatever you do.

i had a miscarriege at 8 weeks with my second pregancy. it was devestating for me, becuase we'd seen teh heartbeat and then a weeka nd a half later i had a gush of blood after work and went to the doc the next day and then there was no heartbeat. i'm so sorry you had to go through 6 months of pregnancy and deliver a still born. I can't imagine the emotional strain that must have casued. I hope things turn out better this time. after my miscarriage/dnc, my ob/gyn said wait 2 cycles before trying again, but i actually got pregnant after my 1st cycle...i am now 13 weeks and things are going fine. best of luck to you and God bless.
