What are the risks?

[patsfan013]

Hi ladies.  I have a question or two.  I just had a miscarriage November 10th.  It was quite early in the pregnancy and I did not have a D&C.  My hCG level as of last Wednesday (Nov. 19th) was 11.  The OB said she thought I probably wouldn't have a period "on time," but I have to say I feel like I'm going to ovulate soon.  I'm going to be 40 in a couple of months and don't want to wait to ttc again if I don't have to.  The OB said to wait one cycle to "let my body get back to normal," but didn't tell me (and I didn't think to ask at the time) what the risks are if I was to get pregnant right away.  Can anyone help me out here?   Are there any risks if I was to get pg right away?  If so, what are they?  Has anyone gotten pg right after a m/c?  Did you have a healthy baby?  Thanks!

My first son was conceived right after my second miscarriage at age 39.  I didn't wait and did not have a period in between (only the miscarriage bleeding).  I had a completely uncomplicated pregnancy and delivery.  My son is now a very healthy 2 year old.  I don't believe there are risks involved with getting pregnant right away.  I believe they tell you to wait for your own emotional healing and to be able to know dates (when you ovulated, last menstrual period, etc.)  I say - GO FOR IT!!

You dont have to wait. They just say to so you make sure your ok after the loss. I didnt wait to get pregnant after my last miscarriage in July we didnt realyy try to get pregnant either but Im now just about 23 weeks pregnant with a baby boy. Do what feels right for you. Just make she you have stopped bleeding from the miscarriage before trying again.
