Most doctors suggest to wait for 3 normal menstrual cycles before you try to conceive again.

If you ask 3 different dr's they'll all say different things.  Since you had a D&C you should wait at least one cycle because during the D&C they scrape out the lining and when you get your period it replaces the lining and gives a nice plush place for a baby to attach to.  If you don't wait you do risk a higher chance of miscarriage (although I can't find or get any numbers on how high).

They say 3 cycles mostly for mental reasons.  I had a D&C and waited till I got AF, then we got pregnant right away, and I'm now 20 weeks.

Good luck!

Well, we had a miscarriage and D&C last month, never had a period so I tested this evening. Positive! So it's possible to get pregnant before AF.

I got pregnant 2 weeks to the day after I started my miscarriage.  I am now 6 weeks and 2 days and due January 14, 2011!  Most docs want you to wait one cycle depending on how far along you were when you miscarried etc., but everyone's situation is different and anything can happen!!  If it's meant to be, it will!
