    Is it too soon to start trying again?

    I had my MC on Oct 2 and I finished bleeding a week ago. I passed everything through on my own.( No D&C required. Physically I am healthy and my Doc encouraged me to go ahead but emotionally I am not so sure. I still haven't had AF yet but it should come soon. My husband is 100% ready and he thinks I should be onboard too. Any advise?

    I say it is up to you when you are ready, although fertility is typically really high after a miscarriage or birth. I miscarried February 28th, 2008, got my BFP April 20th, 2008 and my son is 10 months old today. I had one cycle almost exactly 4 weeks after my miscarriage then got pregnant. Mine was a natural miscarriage, too. Everyone is different. If you feel you aren't ready emotionally, your husband has to understand that a loss is usually harder on a woman.

    It's completely your call. It is true that you're more likely to conceive in the first ovulation after a M/C because of all the leftover pregnancy hormone still in your system. If your doctor gave you the go ahead, and your husband is all for it, it really comes down to whether or not you're ready. After my last m/c I was not ready, having had 2 losses in procession, so we waited about a year to try again, and now have our beautiful 17 month old son out of it. If you need grieving time, don't let anyone push you out of it. However, for some women, grieving is made easier, by the thought of being proactive, and not letting the loss get you down! Trying for another pregnancy can be good therapy. Good luck with whatever you choose!

    Thank you for your input. I am going in to see my OB/Gyne for a followup internal and get some feedback from him. My family doc said I can start soon and I am thinking now I want to try again.
