Are You More Fertile After Miscarriage? True or False

Hey ladies... I recently had a miscarriage and DH and I are looking to try again.  I've heard that you are more fertile after a miscarriage- does anyone know if this is true or just rumor for someone who would really like that to be true (me)?!  The bleeding has pretty much stopped, though it picks up a bit after sex but then stops again, so I think my body is done getting rid of everything...  Has anyone else had a m/c and conceived shortly after?  I'd love some stories that would envoke hope :)  Thanks!

I found out at almost 13 weeks that my baby no longer had a heartbeat and had stopped growing at 9 weeks.  I ended up having to have a d and c on march 6th 2012.  we both want a baby more than anything else.  After waiting for one cycle, as advised,  We have started trying again.  My period is due in a week but im hoping and praying that it never comes!  Good luck to everyone and I'm so sorry that we have all been through such a traumatic time x

I had a late miscarriage at 22 weeks with my first pregnancy, i went in to hospital on a tuesday, with mild bleeding to be sent home again, and then was still bleeding on the wednesday and was admitted due to having high blood pressure and suspected pre eclampsia, throughout wednesday night i slept well despite being woken for blood pressure checks etc. but had no pain whatso ever. by the thursday morning they could not find a heart beat.i had a US that confirmed my baby had died. i was so devestated as i was hoping i was in the right place and everything would be ok. early friday morining i gave birth to a baby boy, the pain was minimal due to them giving me morphine. i am so eager to try for another baby again but i cant due to still having high BP and taking tablets, they have also discovered that i possibly have a thyroid problem. things just seem to be getting worse!! My partner doesnt seem to really be able to cope with what has happendend and dismisses any conversation i have about when we plan to try again. reading your stories has given me hope for the future and comfort knowing that i am not alone in wanting to try again straight away. i hope you all get to be blessed with a baby again. x

I just recently had a D & E (Dilation and Evacuation) about a week ago.. I was 16 weeks pregnant with a baby girl. I didn't miscarry and I had absolutely no warning signs. No spotting, no extreme pain. But the week before I had my ultrasound to find out the gender I felt sick and just felt like I was going to puke all day but I couldn't vomit. I thought I was just dehydrated because I had gotten WAY too much sun the day before. When I went in for my ultrasound the obgyn told me there wasn't a heart beat.. and it died the day I was feeling sick. The reason why I lost the baby is because the father and I both share the same mutated gene which my doctor called it trans location. The next day I had to get a D & E and now I'm just feeling so empty and lost. I really want to try again. I would love nothing more than to have that feeling back. Is there a way to get pregnant within weeks after? The doctor also told me there is a 1/4 chance that if I try and conceive again this might happen to me again. I REALLY want to try again but I am terrified at loosing another child. Can anyone help?

Hope I can get an answer or advice some how. I been trying for years to get pregnant. I finally got pregnant and found out on Feb 24,2012 I had some brownish spotting went straight into the hospital they didnt say much besides the baby looks fine and to check up with my OBYGN 3weeks later I had an appoinment cuz I was 8 1/2 weeks prego and should be able to see the heart beat by then atleast. Well I didnt get good news at all. I got told with in those 3weeks nothing has changed meaning the baby and the sack was still same size and messured to 6 weeks so it was dead :( my body was not misscarage at all so i had to go into surgery and get a D&C done on March 29,2012 I go in on Thursday this week to get cleared !
My question to others is there anyone who has tried to get pregnant or has gotten pregnant like weeks after they had a misscarage or a D&C surgery done? This is my first pregnancy in my life and I am scared to death to go threw this again if I get pregnant after this I never thought i would have to go threw this. I am sorry to others who has lost there lil ones. I really want a bundle of joy!
