Yep - I was very lucky that AF returned 28 days after my curette. God I was happy!!
We tried that month, and no luck, but the next month was the winner - so I had my curette at the start of Jan, and end of March/beg April got a positive result.
Trying again was really, really stressful. We were at it hammer and tong as if we could replace what we had lost. DP ended up with "performance" issues, but dont let him know I told you!
I think it would have broken my heart again if I had lost this one.
For 2 months I had all the thoughts going through my head - what if they damaged something during the curette, and what if I can't get pregnant again. BUt we must be pretty fertile as I fell pregnant twice breastfeeding, and each time its only taken 2-4 months. So all good there.
I personally think its a good idea to wait one cycle. My first AF was very, very heavy and clotty after the curette, and it certainly felt like my body had cleaned itself out. I dont know why, but I would have felt like I wasn't providing a clean slate for the next baby if I hadn't waited for that. Does that make sense?
I was crying before when I typed my post about the recovery, and DP came through and asked me what was wrong. He hasn't seen tears about the m/c for a while, so I guess he was a little shocked. Its amazing how much it still hurts - even months down the track and with another baby growing healthily inside. I maintain, if you haven't been through this, its hard to know how devastating it really is.
