Should I TTC before period after MMC?

Hello I had a missed miscarriage which was resolved via d&c surgery on 01 March. I lost baby at 9w2d but it stopped growing at 7w3d. I stopped bleeding on 09 March and have been been tracking using OPK for the last 5 days since my pregnancy tests started getting extremely faint to the point of having to really hold them to the light to see a shadow of a pregnancy line. I haven’t had a period since my d&c surgery. It’s been 24 days since surgery (16 days since bleeding stopped.) Today I noticed my OPK getting darker so took another this evening and it’s peak/high. I guess my question is, would you TTC before having a period? Attached is the pic. First test is yesterday. Second test is this morning 10am Third test this afternoon about 4pm Fourth test 8:30pm which is as dark as control line IMO.

I had a mmc/ectopic in January and conceived again immediately after. Like you, I waited until my Hcg was negative (blood test though) and my bleeding had been over for two weeks. I never had a period, but I ovulated so we tried for 3 days and I am currently almost 9w pregnant with my rainbow. 🌈 My Dr said that it was perfectly safe to conceive again before having a cycle and that if my body wasn’t ready, I just wouldn’t get pregnant yet so no harm in trying if we were ready. The reason they like you to do a cycle first is so it’s easier to track the pregnancy (first day of last menstrual cycle being start of pregnancy). There’s no “medical” reason to wait it you mc in the first 12 weeks from what I understand. I had no issues tracking my pregnancy based off ovulation- I was only 2 days off at my viability scan at 6w.

That’s amazing news. My partner is a bit nervous of ttc so close to the MC as he thinks my body won’t be ready for a viable pregnancy but your story is so reassuring! So happy for your rainbow! 🌈 xxxx

I had a miscarriage on February 18th last month lost baby at 8 weeks 6 days and conceived right away! I ovulated about 3 weeks later and had BFP I’m currently 4 weeks with my rainbow baby 🌈like above they only tell you wait for your next period for dating reasons.. otherwise your body recovers and heals very quickly (unless you have no other medical reasons) So as long as you and your partner are emotionally ready!

I get the concern, I was nervous about it too which is why I asked. I’ve also done some research and it turns out that typically you’re actually more fertile after a loss bc your body is actually already ready. It’s been prepping for a baby for however long you were pregnant, so your uterine lining and all that is already ideal for a healthy pregnancy.

I just met with my Dr today and was told as long as I've stopped bleed it was ok to try again. She's having me redo blood work every week until my hcg levels are back to normal. Otherwise she said it's just a matter of being emotional ready, but the first 3 month after chances are a bit better to conceive again.

Not sure where you live, but I’m from England and was advised to wait until after my first period so my uterus lining is fresh and body has gone back to normal pre pregnancy hormones. However I have read of lots of women who have successfully conceived without the period, so if you’re ready go for it. It’s your body and you know it better than anyone!
