Q: Should I try again this cycle?

I miscarried last month at 12 weeks and just started ovulating. My doctor told me I can start trying again as soon as I wanted. My husband thinks we should wait until next month but I'm on the fence. I hate to miss an opportunity to be pregnant again. Part of me wants to be smart about it too and give my body one cycle. I laid awake all night with major anxiety over this.....any advice?

I would say to wait at least 1 or 2 cycles. This will give your body a chance to recuperate. Your emotions are extremely high right now. If you got pregnant this cycle, how would you feel? Happy, yes, but because you haven't have enough time to grieve and recoup, your stress level will be through the roof. It is all still very fresh for your mind, body and emotions. Plus your uterus needs a chance to heal. I think it would be too much stress on it if you went 12 weeks, then m/c then put it through 40 weeks right afterward. That is a lot of time to be pregnant. Those are my thoughts anyway. Best of luck to you in your journey.

I had lost twins last year at 15 weeks and my doctor said to wait 3 cycles. Have you had a period in between? I would wait at least one full cycle before trying again, especially since you were 12 weeks when you miscarried.

It's a hard decision to make. With my 1st pregnancy I m/c in September 2009 at 13 weeks and it was in November or December 09 we tried again and in January 2010 I found out I was pregnant with my son. If you feel it's the right time for you to try again then go for it. I've heard your extra fertile around the time of m/c. Good luck with whatever you decide and if you need someone to chat to I'm just a message away.
