First normal cycle

[.hopeful.one.]

I miscarried jan 21, finally got my first period march 22 and now I think it's time to get back to trying. My doctor told us to wait until I have had 2 normal cycles but the wait is driving my crazy. I think we are going to go ahead and try this cycle. I feel like I'm ready physically and emotionally but I'm worried about going against the drs orders.

Am I out of my mind for not listening?? I feel like if it's meant to happen it will and if it's not then we will just keep trying.

We started first cycle after d&c and weren't successful... Second cycle now and hoping this is our month. Every doctor tells you something different... A lot of it is because of emotional issues and they want to give you time to grieve and heal. We are ready, we want a baby and waiting won't help us get to that!

Thanks for your reply. I'm completely with you. I feel like I'm in a good place mentally now and I'm ready. We will see what happens.
Sending lots of baby dust your way!

I've heard that a lot of doctors say that for dating purposes as well, since we might be irregular at first. My doctor told us we could after my 2nd period. I got my first period last week and I think we're going to go ahead and see what happens anyhow. I really want to be pregnant again asap, but am also not looking forward to being fearful when I do. Good luck!

I think your approach is the right one Hopeful.

I was induced Feb 7 and this is our first month of trying too, after af showed up late March.

Initially the perintologist told me to wait 2-3 cycles but after reading so much conflicting information about how long to wait I asked her if my situation was unique or if that's what she told everyone. She said that's what she tells everyone but that since I'd recovered well to go ahead and try after one normal cycle.

I've also heard that waiting one cycle is for dating purposes. I didn't know my dates last time since we weren't trying and found it stressful and want to know the next time, so that was my biggest reason for waiting a cycle before trying.

Good luck Hopeful, hope this is your month! With any luck we'll end up on the same due date board again, but this time with a couple of sticky rainbows!!

I think you should do what works for you. It's been 2 months since your mc, and af came when your body was ready.

I had my second mc in January (13th) with a d&c on the 20. My first af came on February 10, and I got pregnant that cycle with a bfp one month later (March 10), so omly 2 months since my mc. It's possible! And I did the same thing, it was a NTNP month where it was meant to be.

I say go for it, whatever happens will happen. Good luck!

EPAC here advice 1 cycle for dating purposes and whenever you feel ready emotionally. I found out bubs had no hb on 30th Jan and had D&C 13th Feb, AF arrived 16th March (30-34day cycle normal for me). Im pretty sure Ive ovulated late (CD 19-21) so expect AF could be later but weve definitely not prevented pregnancy this montg and would be delighted witg a BFP! Go for it if you feel emotionally ready and good luck x
