Anyone TTC after having a D&C?
I finally got my on Oct. 22, 2014
On Dec 23 I had my first ultrasound appointment at 12 week of pregnancy. Excited to see my baby for the first time when I got the worst news ever. The baby had no heart beat and had not lived pass 9 weeks 1 day. So many emotions ran through me. I was taken completely by surprise because there was no signs of a miscarriage. No heavy bleeding, no pain, nothing. I decided to go through with the D&C which was performed the day after Xmas. 3 days later I was in so much pain. I thought it was normal. They felt just like contractions. The next day I couldn't take the pain anymore and decided to go to the ER. They did a ultrasound to find out that I was still pregnant and that's why I was having painful contractions. They also explained that sometimes this happens and they would have to do another D&C. I did the 2nd surgery on Jan 2nd.
One question is, How long did you wait to try to conceive after having a D&C?
2 different doctors gave me 2 different answers. One said I could wait after my first period, another doctor said wait 2 months

Sayoddy I'm so sorry for you lost. I know first hand how heart breaking that is. I hope you are resting and have a speedy recover from your surgery. Best thing you did was cut out social media. Give yourself time to grieve your lost. First give yourself time to heal. I personally waited for 2 cycles before we started to TTC again. I would also recommend that you stay on prenatal vitamins. If not prenatal then definitely get folic acid.

I was told after my D&C in February that I should wait until I have one period before trying again. Not sure if that's so that your uterine lining can get back to normal or if it's just for dating purposes.
After I had a natural early MC last November, my doctor said I could try again as soon as I wanted
