TTC after MC--when to have another IUI?

Hey everyone, I'm new here-26 yo and my husband and I have been TTC #1 for a year now. Had first IUI in february, which was successful, but miscarried at 6 weeks. My question for those who have been here before, when did you try the IUI again? MY RE said to wait until after my 2nd normal period, but it seems like some people have tried right after the next normal period. What do you think? I REALLY don't want to wait any longer than I have to...especially since AF just showed today!

thanks!

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. ((HUGS))


It seems like every doctor has a different theory of what's the best amount of time to wait before ttc again.

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I don't know if my RE would do an IUI now, but I'm just wanting to see what everyone has to say. We are dealing with male factor infertility so I don't think I have a problem getting pregnant. I had a natural MC, and started ovulating 2 weeks after and am having a normal AF. I'm thinking about calling my RE and seeing if maybe he'll let me do an IUI sooner. I'm so impatient! =)

My friend uses IUI. She had a misscarriage at 8 weeks and needed a D&C and then used IUI again the following cycle and she got prego again. She is now 13weeks and everything is going great. Her doc had the opinion of, you are more fertile right after a miss.


Good luck!
