TTC after 26 week loss

Seeking Advice or Support

My husband and I recently lost our daughter due to an extremely rare severe genetic condition. I had a D & E at 26 weeks.

We’ve been getting varying info on when we can try again and have heard anywhere from right after my first cycle up to waiting 12/18 months.

It sounds like a D & E has a quicker time for recovery than labor and delivery? I am looking for people’s experiences with TTC again that went through a similar late loss. We desperately want to take home a baby, but also don’t want to face another tragedy if trying too early has much more risk.
