Re: if you got pregnant after a mc...
I had a d&c in late July and got AF again for the first time in the beginning of September. Honestly, we started bd'ing again 2 weeks after the procedure. We kind of took a "lets see what happens" approach. (Dr had said to wait 2 cycles though)
After the 2 cycles, I used an OPK and got pregnant.
Good luck!!! I hope AF comes soon for you!!

We didnt. When the doctor had told me to wait 2 cycles, I specifically asked if getting pregnant before 2 cycles would increase the risk on another m/c and she said it wouldnt but that the pregnancy would be hard to date.
After the d&c, they said not to BD for 2 weeks because of risk of infection. After my follow up, when they cleared me, Dh and I started BD'ing like normal again and we didnt use protection. You m/c naturally right? I dont think you need to worry about infection.
I think you should be OK but Im not a doctor so maybe you want to check with them.

Re: if you got pregnant after a mc...
I had my M/c at the beginning of sept and got AF mid sept. Dr. told me to wait two cycles. I just got PG last month. My cycles were super short so it was four cycles until I got PG again.

Re: if you got pregnant after a mc...
I m/c in early October. I had one cycle with AF and we were kind of trying, but then we really tried this cycle- currently I'm 5 weeks pregnant 
Good luck!!

Re: if you got pregnant after a mc...
My doctor told me to wait 2 cycles...I did use protection during those 2 cycles. I was super, super, super lucky and got pg the next cycle after that. I hope AF shows soon! Good luck!

Re: if you got pregnant after a mc...
I think if you got pg before waiting it would just be very hard to date the pregnancy...
My neighbor got pg before getting AF again and she has a healthy baby boy.
I didn't use protection but didn't "try" either right after. I was like Lisa and did the what will be will be approach...

Re: if you got pregnant after a mc...
after my first d&c we started trying about 2-3 weeks after and got pg right away but that baby never developed. after the second d&c we waited 2 cycles and i am now 14w1d!!
I would wait at least the 2 cycles especially if advised by your doc...your body needs time to heal.

Re: if you got pregnant after a mc...
MC #1 - tried before even getting AF, got PG and had MC#2 almost immediately
MC#2 - waited until I got AF twice
MC#3 - started after getting AF once (which dr said was OK) and got PG that cycle (that one stuck... im 15 weeks!  )

Re: if you got pregnant after a mc...
I truly do believe that waiting ONE cycle is enough. I wouldn't 'try' to become pregnant before at least that first period.. just to be safe.
For me, I had gotten pregnant 2 cycles after my first M/C and then lost it at almost 6 wks. This time we were going to just wait one, but due to the Holidays and such, i think I'd prefer just waiting until January (that would be 2 cycles, like last time)

yes, I heard that's the reason too. So I have to think that it wouldn't be 'dangerous' to get pregnant before that first cycle, but I think it can cause a lot of unnecessary stress. Like if you go to the doctor thinking your 8 weeks along, but really your only 6 weeks, and then you freak out because they can't hear the HB yet. Yeah... just doesn't seem worth it to me (as i freak out so easily. lol). I would just wait the full cycle

Re: if you got pregnant after a mc...
I miscarried naturally, we were told to wait one cycle, and basically we had to anyway because I didn't ovulate that month. We then tried the following month, and got pregnant our 3rd month after the M/C, and our 2nd month of trying.
Goodluck!

Re: if you got pregnant after a mc...
I didn't have a mc, but lost a baby at 20 weeks. I was told to wait 3 months. When I questioned it, I asked if we did happen to start trying right away, would it be a bad thing. The doctor smiled and said no, not at all.
So we tried right after I got AF (and after I stopped bleeding), and wound up PG with DS.
