Told by nurse after ttc for 3 yrs that i needed to wait 6 months after loss of 1st pregnancy to try again, is there a medical reason to wait so long?

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Simply, no: Simple answer: no, there is no generic medical reason to wait 6 months. There may be reasons to wait, but that is not any medical standard of care. Many things to consider to answer this question: feel free to ask specifics, or certainly talking with your doctor about pros/cons would be a good idea. Best wishes.
