>From what I hear, and have experienced myself, it is not uncommon to be
more fertile right after a miscarriage. I myself miscarried, and immediately became pregnant again. You may find it hard to believe, but I actually conceived the same week of the miscarriage. Strange, I know! I would think the pill would throw things way out of whack. It takes about 3 cycles for your body to adjust to the pill in the first place, and then a couple more months to regulate after stopping it. This route just doesnt seem logical to me.
