Conflicting advice...
Hi ladies,
I've just been to my doctors and he says that i should wait three cycles before ttc again! He said you're 2-3 times more likely to miscarry again if you fall pg any sooner!!
I've never heard this before and i've googled it many a time and when i asked the sonographer Friday she didn't mention any medical evidence, just said to wait one cycle just to be safe!
I wanted to get straight back into it! Surely there would not be that more fertile stage if there was a chance of miscarriage. Or why would your cycles go back to normal if your body didn't want to be pg?
Now i'm confused???:\?:\?:\?

There is a lot of conflicting advice. Gussie- I was just wondering with what your dr said-it makes sense but wouldn't that mean you are at increased risk every other month?
We are on our second cycle after mc now and we have TTC this month-I am about 3/4dpo I think. I keep getting really scared when I read the bad stuff ?

Now im going to be googling mad
I waited for my 1st cycle then was ttc and fell preg, sadly i lost that pregnancy too but the MW said it prob had nothing to do with trying again after only one cycle.
Since our 2nd mmc we have rested lots and got ourselves physically and emotionally ready, even though i found it extremely hard each month waiting but this is our first month ttc again since my mmc in september and we have lots of PMA.
Im sure you will be fine, do what feels right for you hun
Sending lots of babydust xxxx
In all fairness, he said there's more chance of mc and when I asked him how much more he just seemed to pluck a figure out the air!
Gussie, if you ov from a dif overy every month would I not ov from a different one this cycle to my last one which was MC?
I'm ovulating now I think you see and I'm not sure whether to BD. We've also upsi'd twice this cycle now?
Argh! You find anything on tinternet babylove?

I was advised to wait one cycle. But when the midwife explained why the tone of her voice gave away the problems they face with dating and worried ladies if you don't at least have 1 period. So it really did seem to me that it was more for their convenience and so we don't worry as much. Realistically I will be worried sick next time I am pregnant regardless if it's this month (we haven't waited for AF) or in 6 months!
If anyone can find some info to back up waiting for reasons of reducing risks please let us know. I have spent hours/days googling!!
Xx

What will be will be, many women have had health babies conceived straight after a MC and others not..... I really believe in fate around this, when it is your turn you will have a healthy nine months and a lovley little one to show for it afterwards, no matter when you start TTC.
I thought about this for the last three months ang got myself all stressed out, which I know does not help with the TTC process, just relax and go with what feels right for you and your OH.:\)
I got pregnant 10 days after the last day of bleeding following a mc at 12 weeks and had no problems whatsoever. I am now nearly 30 weeks pregnant. It was a complete surprise and didn't expect it to happen. The consultant told me that there was no issue with it all after a straight forward spontaneous mc except for dating issues but I just had an early scan to resolve that.
Congratulations on your healthy pregnancies!
I guessed it weren't standard NHS advice given that the sonagrapher didn't say that and that you ladies have gone on to ttc!
We bd'd anyway so fingers crossed
Good luck ladies

I think we are going to start trying straight away again....

I really hope I get my BFP this month so I can go back to my doc and say in your face!! Can't believe he lied to me, you would think that being a doctor the only advice he can give should be factual but apparently not!
Good luck ladies
