How long to wait after miscarriage?

At 10+4 weeks I experienced some slight spotting and had a scan at 11 weeks to see if baby was ok. We were told the devastating news that I’d suffered a missed miscarriage. I chose natural management and exactly a week later at 12 weeks I lost my baby. Me and my other half have decided to start trying again as it took us 4 year to conceive last time and I just wondered how long other people waited until they started trying again after a miscarriage and were you successful or not? I’m thinking of waiting until I’ve had one proper AF but others have told they waited 3 month?

i had a m/c at 5weeks a month ago,i read your more fertile after a m/c so me and hubby went for it,and what do you know...i fell preg straight away,just weeks after my m/c no trouble at all after trying 6months for the first baby....im not 6weeks! i reckon as long as you havent been told differently...to just go for it this month,your chances are much higher than other months!!!!
Leah...I know this may seem like a daft question hun...but if you only m/c last month then how can you be 6weeks??? are they sure you m/c??? xxx

Well thats what my thoughts were because alot of people have said your most fertile straight after and ive heard alot of success stories but also alot of bad ones. Going to make a doc appointment tomorrow and see what they think i just have little faith in my doctors at the moment as they seem to lack the ability to listen! thanks girls x

I suggest you ask the advice of your GP as they will be able to check you over first and will know your full medical history...what works for one may not work for all xxx your GP will tell you what is best for you and your baby...although in my opinion one proper AF isn't enough for our body to get back to normal xxx hope this helps xxx
