George asks…
trying to concieve after a miscarriage?
hi, i was 5 weeks pregnant and had a full natural miscarriage last week. this is my first miscarriage after two beautiful healthy babies… so my question is when can i start having sex and trying to conceive?? i ahve heard everything from right away… to waiting for your first period to waiting for 3??? please help!!
i should also add that my hcg level is down … went to the doc today and took a pregnancy test and it is now negative.
when i went into the er when i was bleeding and cramping they did 2 ultrasounds and saw nothing no sac or anything and said it was a full misscarriage… that was last thursday then today i went in and took a pregnancy test and it was negative???
Michelle answers:
So sorry to hear of your m/c. I know how hard it is! You need to wait one cycle. There is no medical reason to wait any longer. My hubby and i waited 3 months just because we were trying for a boy.
After my d n c, i was told no intercourse for a week and do not use tampons until after your first period. I hope this helps! God bless!
David asks…
when should i do a test? advice please!?
me and my partner are ttc, this is our first month 🙂 previous to this, i was on the pill. as they say that your periods take a few months to get into a normal rhythm so i don’t actually know when i am due on. my first and only natural period was 26th – 29th March. i think i ovulated on 8th april. i know it hasn’t been that long since i had the first period (around 3 weeks) but when would i be able to test for pregnancy? i have had a couple of symptoms, such as being very tired, eating loads, feeling sick, wind and i also keep getting headaches. it seems like a lifetime ago since i was last on!
any help would be much appreciated!
thanks in advance! 🙂

I have an addiction to taking pregnancy tests when ttc! I start taking them at 10 DPO as that is when the egg is suppose to implanted into the uterus and high enough amounts of hcg are excreted to register on a HPT. I buy hcg test strips online for cheap and test daily until I either get a BFP or I get my period. With this pregnancy I stopped my birth control pill and had withdrawal bleeding about 2 weeks later. About 2 weeks after that I had my real period. We did not get pregnant that month but the following cycle 4 weeks later I did get pregnant and was able to get a BFP on 12 DPO, it was faint, but it was positive! Best o!f luck to you

I’d test in about 8/9 days. You many be one of the lucky ones and catch straight away, i was on the pill for 3 years and came off it a year ago and only got my periods back every month this jan. (didn’t get my first period till 7 weeks off the pill and then every 6 weeks after that, sometimes 3months!)
Those symptoms could just be the effects of the pill coming out of your system, they say wait a month for every year you were on the pill before ttc. Test again the 23rd, just to be safe and get the clearest reading possible.
If you need help tracking your ovulation try this website, i’ve found it really handy and have given it to a few people.

Hope this helps, wishing you lots of baby dust
