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 have a question about ovulation. I had a miscarriage the beginning of Sept. 08, metho shot Sept. 17th, and finally HCG levels bottoming out on or before Oct. 6th and bleeding one more time for about three days. I just had my first period, which was about 29 days from when I bled starting Oct. 3rd-5th. My question is will I ovulate around day 14-15 with this cycle, or could I still be very irregular with my periods for the months to come? Could I ovulate sooner than that or later? As of now I believe my cycles are on track (every 28-29 days, but not for sure). I was pretty regular before I had the miscarriage. We would like to try again as soon as possible. Any advice would be great!

You are more fertile, I had a M/C at 10 weeks after trying for a year and  a month of loosing the baby i fell pregnant again, this time i have a healthy 3 month baby boy, my partner and i are now trying for a girl as i have 4 boys! they say to have intercouse 3 days leading up to ovulation and stop 24 hours before you ovulate, is that right?

Well, I understand a Miscarrage can be a stressful thing. I had one and I was devasted. I wouldn't worry about a Moler pregnancy though. They don't happen every offen. and even less women get cancer from them. There are some women who have them. But I woundn't worry about it. Just make sure and keep you doctors appointments. And just let it happen naturely. when feel like you want to have sex again just go ahead and see how everything turns out. Don't stess its the worst thing you can do.

i went through an mc at 4 months at the end of june. being this far, it was the most painful  thing in my life i have ever or will ever go through. I had no forewarning, no bleeding, no pains, and the day of my ultra sound i took my 3 year old step daughter with me so she could see her new baby brother...they had no idea what happened, no theories, no assumptions, nothing at all. all i got was "these things happen are you going to get dressed?" i was a pile of emotion on that stupid bed and still know nothing more of why the mc occured. all that is to say, i started birth control but stayed on it not even a couple of weeks. im still not pregnant and am curious if anyone might have the slightest idea....is something completely wrong with my body? after my d n c ihad all my follow ups, everything was fine and normal, and no irregular bleeding occured...do i just have all the bad luck?
