Physically 2 weeks later you can ovulate and get pregnant, more fertile than also but doctors prefer if you wait until after 1 period. Let the body recover and more importantly let you grieve your loss

My doctor said if I was emotionally ready I could start trying once my period regulated it’s self. I had two full periods and was even trying. My rainbow baby arrived in September.

Truthfully when I miscarried my first ever pregnancy and was advised to give it some time to allow myself to heal emotionally, I just knew that if I stopped trying to get pregnant I may never have the strength to start the process again. I remember reading that you’re more likely to get pregnant after being pregnant…I am very grateful / blessed to say I got pregnant several weeks later (I had no period in between) and my son will be 14 on the 24th of this month :blue_heart:
I know many people will think I was wrong and criticise my decision to just keep trying and not give my body, mind and heart time time to process my loss. However it was the right thing for me. I grieved for my child, had an informal funeral / ceremony - that loss and love is something I will carry within me always.

I wish you so much love and best wishes with whatever you decide. I would do whatever feels right for you :heart:

I had to have 2 good periods before trying again. Did just that and now I have a healthy 17 yr old

Technically I think it’s once you’ve had 1 period after then you can easily conceive again. Mentally though it’s however long you need :heart:

Its easier to conceive after a miscarriage than any other time. No one agrees on the time

I honestly got pregnant the next cycle by accident after mine. It was an early miscarriage though.

I got pregnant the month after. Miscarried end of October got pregnant in the beginning of december.

Wrong most doctors recommend a year because you need that time to heal physically and psychologically

A year to give your body test and reset itself

Most Doctors recommend 6 months

I waited 4 months to morn my loss

I miscarried on July 14th (only 6-8 weeks) and got pregnant again August 8th. Positive test August 20th and had a healthy baby girl the following April.

My doctor preferred a 6 months to a year to let ur body heal rite

Used to tell you three months. Now I know many who didn’t wait at all and had no problem

Can you? Instantly. Should you? Depends on several factors.

Well I had two that I got pregnant right away again…I didn’t even know I was pregnant as I was waiting for my period to come! I have three healthy daughters :wink:

My son was conceived the same month. The doctors didn’t believe I was pregnant. They thought it was just still showing from the miscarriage. I had to come back twice to see if the pregnancy hormone was going up or down before they took me seriously. He’s 9 now :hugs:

After your next scheduled period there will be new lining, your body naturally sheds every month when the egg is not used and it gives your body time to heal and renew the tissue for the next cycle

I lost my baby and wanted to be close to my husband afterwards. I believe I was pregnant 2 weeks later. But he was born early not a miscarriage, so I don’t know if it’s considered the same.

I had a miscarriage like the last week in May back in 2012 and then found out I was pregnant again the second week of June. So it took me two weeks.

I got pregnant night after my d n c. The baby couldnt attach due to just having d n c so it died also.

“Can” get pregnant immediately but “should” allow your body to heal.

I had a miscarriage at the end of September n have been trying to get pregnant since. I was told by my Dr. to wait 3 months before trying.

My dr told me to try again right after bleeding stopped I was pregnant before my next cycle.

I think it’s right away. If you’re wanting to

after first cycle or 4 weeks

Does it really matter
Once you and your partner want it. I conceived 3 weeks after

I was told to wait three mos

:person_shrugging: I miscarried in August 2019… Still not pregnant :sob:

My Dr had me wait 30 days. Let my hormones go back to normal.

Why is this all about pregnancy now

Good grief
