How long does it take to conceive after a D&C?

Question

The first time it took me 5 months, i lost my baby at 11 weeks.

The D&C was 3 1/2 weeks ago and still no period...do you think it will take 5 months to conceive again like the first time?

also everyone says that your more fertile after a D&C, does that mean you can even get pregnant if you have just a little bit stress?

Answer 1

My doctor told me to have a dnc done but I ended up miscarrying on my own before I had a dnc done. My doctor told me that I could start having s*x 4 weeks after the dnc. My doctor also told me that I would be more fertile after the dnc but I don't know. I just had my miscarriage last week so I haven't tried to get pregnant again.

Answer 2

I've always heard that it is easier to get pregnant  after you have been pregnant before. I've also heard that it is really easy to get pregnant after a D&C also. Best of luck to you and lots of baby dust!

Answer 3

My doc told us to wait 6 weeks after the d&c before having s*x.  I can't remember how long it took to get my period again but I don't menstruate super-regularly so I'm not one to judge by.

I conceived four months after my second d&c and carried my beautiful baby to term.

Good luck and baby dust to you.

Answer 4

I don't have an answer but I do want to say how sorry I am for your loss.  Good luck.  I have been trying for over a year since my miscarriage with the help of fertility treatments and no success.

Answer 5

i recently had d&c and i ovulated about 25 days after the d&c  and im pregnant again my dr said it was ok for me as long as my mental state was ready goodluck to you !!

Answer 6

You can get pregnant within weeks of a D&C.  Doctors tell you to wait but it is more so they can have a last period date to calculate a due date than anything else.  It doesn't mean it will take 5 months again.  It could be right away or it could be later.

Answer 7

So sorry to hear of your loss. I too had a mc at 11 1/2 weeks. I had a dnc in March 07. I was told to have one normal period then start trying again. Got period 2 weeks later. We waited til July to try and got pregant.

Best of luck.
