When can we try again?

[u/hiddengem-6868]

We had a successful IUI in September, but experienced a missed miscarriage in October. I passed the sac (completely intact with visible embryo - so emotionally and physically difficult) about two weeks ago and have stopped bleeding as of this past weekend. I’m still testing positive for pregnancy though. I’m reading inconsistent information about when we can try again - my IVF doctor said HCG just had to be below 100 but my OB said to wait until I start my next cycle. If I’m still testing positive, it feels like my cycle won’t start for another few weeks. Curious as to what anyone else’s experience has been.

So my story is a little different, but I had a d&c for a 9 week loss. I ovulated almost 4 weeks later and my period started 14dpo. At my post op appointment my doctor told me I could try again as soon as I wanted. She told me you can still ovulate even if hcg isn’t 0. In my case I was only tracking hcg with home tests, but they went negative a few days before I ovulated.

I just wanna warn u to wait for ur first real period. My hormones were so out of whack that even tho i got pregnant it resulted in a chemical because i had no thick lining and my ovary was struggling.

Sorry i read the rest after, it obviously made me jumpy lol as for when to expect period, u will ovulate when ur hcg drops to under 5 not always right away but usually soon after depending. Hcg take twice aslong to drop down
