Is this an early loss for you? Most of the time they say to wait a cycle for dating purposes if you happen to get pregnant again right away or for your emotional health if needed. I have never had a d&c so maybe someone else has better insight for you with that. I did have a loss at 6 weeks, we didn't wait a cycle and got pregnant right away but ended up being a chemical and we chose not to wait a cycle again and got pregnant the next month and so far everything has been going well. I don't know what was the cause of the losses.. Bad luck or something else. The month we got pregnant that stuck this time, I did take Maca (the whole month and up until 7-8 weeks although I took it down to one a day from two once I got a bfp) and also red raspberry leaf capsules (they help thicken the uterus lining and heal but has to be stopped when you get a bfp) and also started baby aspirin when I got the bfp.
I am so so sorry for your loss and I really hope you are blessed with your rainbow baby soon

I think there are possible reasons to wait but on the whole there often isnt a need to. I had a very early loss and got pregnant only two weeks later. She is 2.5 year old now and we have an 11 month old boy too. My recent loss, baby made it to 9 weeks. I hemorrhaged badly and ended up very anemic so have to get my levels up a bit higher before TTC is a good idea otherwise I wouldnt wait. In my case I'm a bit older so I feel like waiting longer than needed is only adding risks.
One of the most convincing reasons that might make me consider waiting is that sometimes there is a small amount of tissue left which will likely pass naturally with your next period. From what I understand it is quite unlikely that there is anything left if your bleeding stops and you get a BFN in a normal amount of time but it can happen. If you got pregnant before it could potentially cause problems. You can get a scan to check also.
Often doctors recomend it for dating purposes but you can always use OPKs and these days doctors mostly go by dating scans rather than LMP anyway.
There is the general thought that your body and emotions need time to recover. Unless you have a specific problem like an infection, or in my case being anemic, there doesnt seem to be much evidence that you need to wait just to give your body a break. My first period was super heavy so maybe that is a sign things are not back to normal? What is best for you emotionally I think is a personal thing.
