| I unfortunately have to have a D and C. I am still grieving and I am scared of the procedure. How long should I wait until I start the next cycle? I haven't started stims yet. We are doing the blood work. My doctor says there is no need to wait until after I get my period, but I think my body should heal for at least two cycles. Thoughts? |

| Sorry to hear this, OP. I've been there and it's HARD. My RE said to wait one cycle (basically, wait to get a period) before trying naturally, and two cycles before trying for another FET. |

| I'm sorry OP. I just had a D&C recently. OB told me to wait one full cycle to try naturally in order to give the uterine lining time to build back up. It's been 4 weeks and no period yet. |

| Thank you. Were you able to get pregnant after a D and C? Or have a successful transfer? |

| Both times I've been able to get pregnant and have it stick (IUI, IVF) it was immediately after the first period after a D&C following a missed miscarriage. Good luck, OP! |

| There's no reason to wait. I'm pregnant again after a miscarriage, and I never got my period in between. Pregnancy is going fine so far! |

So sorry Op,
After my office D&C procedure. I could not get pregnant for over a year or so. Thinking back it was probably a way my own body needed to heal. But I would say, wait three months TBH or whatever you feel okay. Best of luck with everything. |

| My dr said to wait 1-2 cycles. So I’m using condoms right now and will stop preventing after I get my period (which should be any day now according to my PMS symptoms). |

| 10:37 here- three D&Cs and three healthy pregnancies. Doesn’t make it easier, but doctor said sometimes D&Cs can kind of give you a fresh start. |

| If you don't have a period it can be trickier to date the pregnancy. DH was pulled out early due to incorrect ultrasound and this |
