I had a miscarriage on July 1st, I was 2 months pregnants when the baby died.. I went thru D&C. WHen is the time to conceive after it? I have my period now, and to be honest, we wont have protection. Is it bad to get pregnant at this stage? We really want a baby.
Appreciate your answers.
sorry for your loss
have a least two periods before trying again
I would say 2 monthes after so you are okay
I am sorry to hear about your loss! It was about the same time as mine, at about the same fetal age. I had a missed m/c and then a D&C on June 29th. My doctor checked me out 2 weeks later and said that everything was back to normal, and told us that we could try again as soon as we felt ready. He said that the advice used to be to wait past one normal period, but that was so that the dating could be established since you don’t necessarily ovulate on time after a m/c. But now that ultrasound is so accurate, it’s easy to date a pregnancy anyway.
We did try the whole 5 weeks after the m/c until I ovulated, and I just got my first AF on Friday. That was disappointing, but I think it reaffirms that if your body isn’t ready to be pregnant again yet, it won’t happen. Good luck, and maybe we can both move to the "pregnancy" forum really soon.
i’m sorry for your loss.
i just suffered one myself on july 31st.
we found the baby had died at my ultrasound on july 30th, and we had a d&c on july 31st.
this having been my 3rd, my doctor wants us to start as soon as we medically can.
my doctor’s instructions were this:
no sex for 2 weeks after the d&c.
you have already well passed that stage..
then he told me to make sure to wear protection until i get my next period.
after that.. try away!
as long as you have 1 normal period in between the 2 you are ready to go!!
as a plus, i work with my doctor, and we see miscarriages frequently, unfortunately.
i can tell you that while it hurts and it’s hard to deal with, a d&c helps your chances.
it cleans the lining of your uterus and gives you a better chance of the next pregnancy "sticking".
and most importantly, listen to your body!
your body will tell you if it’s not the right time.
hope this helps and good luck with conceiving!

i’ll be right behind you trying again after i get my period!!
