Ok I’ve been reading a ton where people have had a M/C and are starting to TTC the next cycle. Is that the norm? The reason I ask is that I have a friend who’s wife M/Ced and she got PG the next cycle, went on to deliver a beautiful little girl and then had SEVERE PPD. Her doctor thought it had to do with not fully recovering (hormonally) from her M/C.

Now before anyone yells at me this was in the UK and they do things differently. It may have been a later M/C not an early one. I am sketchy on details. I figured this would be a good place to ask because it seems like many have already been through this?

After my M/C, my doctor told me to wait until my next normal period. She thought it would be in 6-8 wks. I ended up having these 2 wierd short cycles, so then she revised it until after my first normal cycle. I think there are different ideas about whether or how long to wait.

I m/c in May, and my doctor told me to wait until after my first normal cycle. AF came 31 days later. Personally, I don't think the PPD has anything to do with not recovering hormonally from her m/c. Depression comes from a chemical imbalance in the brain, not a hormone problem.
