anyone having trouble getting pregnant after a d&c??

hello just wondering if anyone had a d&c and tried to conceive again and it took longer? ive had 3 miscarriages in 9 months, the first 2 i miscarried naturally, and i conceived again within a month of trying right after. the last miscarriage i had was in febuary and i had to have a d&c. we waited until i got 2 periods and started ttc right after and i still havent become pregnant. its never taken me longer than a month to get pregnant and now im going on 3 months.. does this have to do with having a d&c??

Sorry for your lose, I hope we all get pregnant soon with healthy babies.
Got pregnant (July 2012) after 2 months after going off BC.
Lost the baby somewhere between 9-11 weeks. And had a D&C at September 25, 2012 after a missed miscarriage. TTC ever since, I used to have cycles of 29-31 days. Since the D&C had irregular cycles of around 36-42 days (even on of 72 days).
Progesterone level last two cycles is very low. During pregnancy it was 18, which now i think to be pretty low also (maybe it was a sign).
Going to see fertility specialist next week.... Really want to have a baby.
What is out there to boost my ovulation?

I've had a d&c last year June (8 weeks pregnant), and haven't gotten pregnant since.  We started trying two months after miscarriage and nothing.  The first time I got pregnant, it took only 3 months of trying.  Now I'm worried and frustrated.  I got checked and doc seems to think everything is ok, just stress related.  Hopefully will happen soon.  :-/

my 3rd miscarriage, the one that I had the dnc with and finally got testing done was also due to triploidy 69! Its been over a year since that happened and we quit trying to get pregnant in febuary so I can deal with some other health issues right now.  Sorry for everyone who has been going thru this its awful and no one deserves it. just hang in there and everyone is in my prayers!

Reading all these comments make me wonder whether there is something wrong with me. I have been trying to get pregnant after my D&C in November 2012. I have had irregular periods, it used to be 28 days now its ranging from 29 days to 30 days. Anyway, i am trying not to stress too much but i went to see a chinese herbal doctor and he porked my stomach and he said i might be having remnants of the miscarriage left behind. Can this happen? And has given me herbs to cleanse it.. Can This be right?

Hi

After my 1st D&C in Jan 2012, I did fall pregnant the month after replying on this month as I was stressed about my 40 day cycle on 1 particular month. It took me 5 months to fall pregnant but sadly I lost the baby to Triploidy. The baby had 69 Chromsomes instead of 46.

I am getting some testing done and will try again in March.

I tried the Clear Blue Digital Moniter and it worked on the 1st attempt. Check it out on Amazon and read the reviews.

Love Rachel

o and dont ever give up. this is my 7th pregnancy and only one child so far, ive had m/c's one d&c, one ectopic, twins at 21 1/2 weeks, and etc not in that order but i had 3 losses before this pregnancy. all losing them around 7-8 weeks also have your dr run blood work. i take progesterone supplements once i find out im pregnant i also found out i had a blood clotting issues so i take lovenox for entire pregnancy, progesterone until 12=14 weeks, and folic acid bc it was low. good luck and it will happen when its ment to happen.

wow im not the only one.  next month will be a year since my D&C and still not pregnant.  Gyno said that Im not ovulating thats why my cycles are soo irregular.  I was going 50-60 days without a period when my normal cycle would be every 30 days.  Gyno put me on an over the counter supplement called PREGNITUDE to get me to ovulate.  lilbit no i never took anything before to get pregnant it just always happened when we tried to conceive, just always ended up in miscarriage ALWAYS at 7-8 weeks pregnant.  Scared we will never have a baby together, cant afford IVF.

We had our D&C in July and have been having a hard time TTC. We are using ovulation kits but doesn't seem to be working out. Thinking a call to the doctor will happen soon.

I've have 4 miscarriages, with my last one I had a D&C in Oct. I just found out that I'm about 4 weeks pregnant, holding off on the celebration until I find out if it's viable....too worried to get excited yet. Currently going thru the implantation bleeding and trying to stay calm relaxed. We quit trying in March, so this is a surprise!

Yeah I was 32 days like clock-work before my miscarriage, so not overly too happy! I am just remainly calm and totally stress free now. This i feel will make my cycle more regular, as I kept getting seriously depressed and stress effects your hormones and this delays ovalation, which makes my cycle longer. I am taking evening Primrose oil starting from 1 day to 14 of my cycle, this balances the hormones. Moderate exercise 3-4 times per week also helps to make ur cycl more regular, and a healthy diet.

Hi

I had a missed miscarriage in Jan 2012 ( 1st pregancy) and I had the D&C, but for 4 months trying and am still not pregant.

My cycles have been different lenght and on 2 of them I believe I missed my ovalation days, especially on my last one which was a shocking 40 days day cycle.I was really stressed and I believe this caused the delay. My normal cycle lenght before my miscarriage was 32 day cycle.

This has not helped at all, so now I have to cover my bases from day 12 to days 27 days to cover a 28 day cycle, 30, 34 and through to 40 days, it's flippen annoying now. Knowing my luck my next cycle will be 50 days cycle and will miss ovalation again, LOL.

Well I am now using my clear blue moniter and am still covering my bases from day 12 to 28-28 days, just in case the moniter is incorrect, so i really hope in the next few months I will acheive pregancy. ( 1st pregancy conceived aftee 2 months)

I have paid privately and got myself checked out. I had a ultrasound and my overies and uterus was all healthy and fine. So that's a relief. I am going going to have the progrestrone test to see if my hormones levels are ok and normal.

If I don't fall pregant in the next 6 months, then I will take clomide as the last resort and this will be tracked too, so hopefully that might help me achieve a pregancy, if all eles fails :-)

I try and remain positive and will see what happens :-)
