Trying to conceive after D&C

I had surgical management on 23rd Aug - I was told to wait for my period before trying again

I was advised to wait 3 months, though I’d had 2 D&Cs within 4 weeks of each other due to the first not working. I fell pregnant immediately after waiting the 3 months!

I also got told this, but have been told its purely for dates not for medical reasons, so very intrigued to hear other opinions

They advise to wait at least one full cycle,to let your body heal and also then if you do fall again straight away, it’s much easier to date the pregnancy

I was told to wait until my bleeding had stopped, but they said I didn’t have to wait for my next period - so I ended up waiting around 8 days before starting to try again x

My dr. had suggested to wait a cycle. Besides that you can start whenever your ready. I needed a few months to emotionally heal

At least 1 cycle I heard.. I'm 3 months post surgical now

did you take ovulation tests to see if you was ovulating?

I’m interested to know if they only tell you to wait until 1 cycle to make it easier for them dating the next pregnancy if you conceive straight away x

yes, I believe you can get pregnant earlier. If you are having a period then you already ovulated. Not sure if they want to confirm you are ovulating and no issues with surgery, like scar tissue or purely just so they can date your next pregnancy since it’s based off last pregnancy. My dr. told me to wait a few weeks just to heal physically from surgery, maybe 2 weeks before having sex again. I had bleeding from my D&C for probably about 2-3 weeks then had a period after 6 weeks from surgery.

yes I am still bleeding which is expected as my surgery was only a week ago also still have positive pregnancy test. I have bled for a month now almost in total and the thought of waiting to bleed again before trying is building me with dread as desperately wanted another baby asap x

I get it. You do feel like your bleeding for awhile. As long as your dr. gives you the ok for sex then you can start trying whenever.

I did take ovulation tests - I didn’t ovulate between my D&C and my first period, but then I have issues with low progesterone and not ovulating so it’s not surprising x

I had surgery 17th March, told to wait for one cycle before ttc again but when I questioned the gynaecologist further, this seemed to be purely for dating purposes and nothing to do with recovery or needing to wait to have a better chance of a successful pregnancy etc.
I chose not to wait after doing some research. I ovulated 2 weeks after my bleeding stopped from the surgery and found out on 30th April we had conceived again. I’m 23 weeks now with our healthy rainbow baby.

hi same questions I have I miscarried on 6th this September and desperately want to try again for a baby . My miscarriage happens naturally at 13 weeks … it’s been one week already but I have still little bit bleeding .. when should I try again or should I wait or test for ovulation

I’m sorry for your loss, I understand the heartbreak and the desperation.
I was still testing faintly positive whilst bleeding and because of positives on PTs my ovulation tests were also unreliable and coming back as positives. As soon as my bleeding stopped I tested negative (may have tested negative earlier but didn’t check) and my OPKs were also then back to being negative- but that’s when I knew to keep testing because if I saw them change to positive I knew it would be ovulation rather than a false positive. I started trying when my bleeding had stopped.
Can’t advise you on when to try again, only when you feel ready to or following the medical advice you were given. I hope you get your rainbow baby soon c
