Getting pregnant after D

I just had a D&C yest.  I hear different dates as to how long to wait to  try again.  Anyone have any advice?  I also heard you are more fertile immediately after a D&C.  Is this true?  Anyone who has been through this I appreciate the feedback.

My first appointment was december 21. I was very excited and nervous to see my first baby. I got an ultrasound and got to see my little fetus inside me. But no heartbeat... I felt like my world was crashing down on me. Depressed and crying everyday. I had a d&c The very next day and suffered from pain and bleeding for over a week and then it slowed down. I really would love to try again for a baby but I'm terrified that I will miscarry again. How long after the d&c can you get pregnant and what r the chances of me miscarrying again. I don't think I can handle it again. But I'd love to have a baby more than anything in the world. Comments please , thank you.

I just had a d/c on December 17Th. I was suppose to be 11 weeks,but the ultrasound showed i was only 6 or 7 weeks. When i went into my appointment on the 16th,i was bleeding pretty bad,but had been spotting all week. The doctor did a ultrasound and there was no heartbeat. We were devastated. He did antibiotic for me before and after the surgery. And Gave me stuff to help with bleeding. i only bled the day of surgery and  spot bled afterwards. He told us that we could start trying in 3 weeks....I have a follow up with him on the 20th...I'm just ready to start trying again,because i want to give our daughter a brother or sister.

I found out on the 31 October that i was pregnant.We have a daughter that is 6 years old and we were both excited.Took blood test and we were 2 weeks pregnant. I was overjoyed and we started to tell our families. My mom even told me that she dreamed that it would be a boy and he would look just like me and that his name should be David. On my hubbies birthday the 23 November we went for a scan.I was looking forward to it as it would be a great surprise for his to see his child on his birthday.The doctor told me that he is only see a sac but no fetal pole and that he will send me for blood test.We went for the blood test and it only went up by a 1000.We went to see him again on the Friday and he told me that it should have been in the 10 000 already by know and that he is just preparing me that if he sees nothing on the ultrasound the next Tuesday then their is no hope. i started to bleed that same Friday and was taken to the hospital.The doctor on duty told me that my cervix is still closed and they sent me for a ultrasound the next day.The scan showed exactly the same that their was only a sac but nothing else.My heart just stopped. I was praying and asking GOD that he must show me that he will do a miracle. I even promised GOD that i will call him David and that he will make a way their seems to be no way. We went back to the gyne on the tues and i didn't want to look at the screen and I just kept on praying Lord let your will be done. The doc gave me the sad news that my pregnancy must be ended.It is either that my pregnancy developed to early or it is a blighted ovum.He told me that he will be giving me cycotec that i must take and come back to him the following day.While he was taking i was thinking by myself that this is  not happening.I took the tablets and started having cramps and bled.I was up most of the evening and was passing cloths of blood.The next day went back to the gyne and again nothing had come down.Was given the same tablets to take. I was asking GOD why is this happening to me.Again i went through a horrible evening and the next day still nothing.The gyne gave me the option of either taking the tablets again for the last day or go to D&c.I opted for the tablet. Another evening of bleeding and i couldn't even move. Went back on the 2/12/2011 and the doctor told me that nothing has happened and that he must send me for a d&c. It went okay and I could go home at 3pm.My husband was wonderful but he couldn't experience what I was going through.I felt numb inside. Then another blow.I spoke to my friend the Saturday and then she gives me her news that she is pregnant. i congratulate her but inside of me i am dying allover again.It has been 2 weeks since my d&c it is still heart sore to see other women in the malls being pregnant and Im not and it is also difficult to take to friends and family who knew that we were expecting because all they can say is that they are sorry and perhaps i am wrong but i dont want to hear it. looking forward to falling pregnant again as I want to give my daughter a little brother or sister. Im just praying that GOD will give me the desire of my heart

My friend was telling me about her problem and I don't know how to help her so thought I would get on here and ask...... She is staying with her boyfriend and there is another girl living there with them... Well everyone knows if 2 girls are in the house together they are going to have their peirods together... Well a week later this other girl who is always there starts hers and my friends body tries to start hers again but don't..... Can you get pregnant if your body does that??????
