hi everyone,

i found out i was pg w/ my first on 7/15/03. i found out it was a blighted ovum on 7/29/03. i went for a f/u u/s on 8/5/03 and i had a d&c on 8/6/03. i was lucky to have gone for an early u/s b/c of confusion w/ my dates.

i want to get as much info as i can about the best time to ttc after a d&c.

my doctors told me to wait one cycle and then go for it again. other docs recommend waiting 2 cycles. i have a friend who is an ob and she told me that there haven't been any studies published which say when the best time is. so therefore, the doctors don't really know and they just go by their own experience.

have any of you guys been through this? if so, what was your doctor's advice?

any success stories? i'd love to hear them.

I miscarried and had a DNC in March. My doctor said to wait one cycle which she thought would be 6-8weeks. Well, I got AF two weeks later, and then another 2 weeks after that. My doctor told me to wait for a normal cycle, my next one was 31 days, and then we started TTC again. No success story from me yet, but I'm charting, using OPKs, drinking V8 splash, eating carrots and raisons, and I bought that special Pre-seed stuff. I hope so much it will happen soon. Good luck to you.
