need some advice!

Hello Ladies im new to this message board. i have a few questions that im seeking answers to.okay heres my story: i've been pregnant once before. i went to hear my babies heart beat and found out that i had twins but no heartbeat @ 11 weeks...my doctor confirmed that i was having a misscarriage. then a couple days later i started having some cramps and bleeding a little bit. so i had a D&C about a month ago (July 18, 2007)...i still havent gotten my period or any signs of it. my husband and i have had unprotected sex since about two weeks after my D&C...im wondering if any of you know anyone who has gotten pregnant right after a D&C? if so, how soon? im feeling kind of like i did last time i was pregnant. i am starting to get the same kind of headaches that i got when i first became pregnant, im having slight mood swings,im having a bigger appetite, and also a lot of sensitivity to certain smells. i took a pregnancy test yesterday and it showed up positive. im wondering though if since its only been a month since my D&C, could the positive pregnancy test just be a result of my hormone levels not going completely down yet? or would they have already gone all the way down by now? any advise that i could get from you ladies would mean a lot to me.
Thanks

I have never had a m/c, but from what I have read on other boards it can take a couple of cycles for some women to get their period back and you can be more fertile after birth and m/c so it is completely possible that you did conceive again. I do wish you luck though. Have you tried to visit some of the boards that are geared towards m/c? They might be able to help you better.
