Getting pregnant after a miscarriage.... & how long does it take to show positive pregnancy test?
I just had a miscarriage last week... (worst experience in my life)... I want a baby so bad and me and my boyfriend (fiance now) of 3 years have been trying so hard for about 2 years so this was devastating.... We do not live together just yet so we only see each other once or twice a week for now.... Is it ok to have sex if I am not bleeding and it doesn't hurt?
Would it be bad to get pregnant right away? Because me and him don't use protection and I kind of feel if it happens it does if not we'll try extra hard after I get my next regular period... I know getting pregnant again will not replace my baby I just lost but I do think it would help with my grieving... everybody is different and that's how I feel about it but I just want people's opinion on if they think it'd be bad for me if I don't use condoms and get pregnant before my first regular period...
Also if I were to take awhile for my period to come like say it doesn't come within a month from when i had my miscarriage would I be able to tell if I got pregnant with a home pregnancy test or not? Please no rude comments... This has been the worst time of my life and I have had some very bad times in my life but I feel the only way to feel somewhat of some comfort is by actually having a baby!

I just had a miscarriage in January (5 weeks, 3 days. It was natural (didn't need a d&c). Toward the end of the miscarriage, I got an ultrasound and an exam to make sure that it was done. My midwife then told me that it was ok to have sex as soon as I was finished bleeding, but did advise me that my cycle could be off and that if I did get pregnant before my next period, it may be difficult to date the pregnancy. She said that the just because I miscarried this once, does not mean that I will miscarry again just because I had this miscarriage, even if I get pregnant right away. Sometimes doctors tell their patients that just to "scare" them so that they will wait to get pregnant for more accurate dating. I haven't had a period since my miscarriage, yet and I haven't taken a pregnancy test yet...going to try a pregnancy test on Valentines day, hoping it's good news. I am so sorry for your loss!!! I know how you feel!!! Good Luck and lots of Baby Dust to you!!!

Firstly let me say so sorry for your loss!
As for when you can conceive well everyone is different.
I lost a baby on the 4th of December, had regular period first day was 29th December, am now 6 weeks and a few days pregnant, confirmed as "viable" yesterday yey!!
All that along with a move of house and stress with pending court case, so far this one is definitely a stayer.
I think the main thing is relaxing and just letting things happen, with the miscarriage previously I was only 5 or so weeks so there was no need to wait before trying again.
You need to be mentally ready again before you start to try, while i was very upset I talked it out with my husband and was at peace with what had happened before we said ok lets give it a go.
I wish you all the best.

you need to be very careful, if you misscarry then get pregnant soon after you have an increased chance of it happening again so you should leave it at least 4 months before planning again.
and i would recomend before having a baby you should see you partner more then 2 times a week and perhaps live together. only my opinion no offence tended
