Clarification on the wait "one normal cycle" recommendation?

I have posted on here before but I suppose since this is my first question I should intro myself. My name is Kristie. I have 2 earth angels in blue and 2 angels in heaven, one boy and one girl. I will be 32 this year and hubby and I decided to was time to complete our family before we got much older so we decided to TTC. We got preg unbelievably fast, which was a major shock as I have always struggled to get pregnant, taking months and years to get pregnant with each of my previous pregnancies. Unfortunately, I we lost our little girl recently and I had a D&C on the 7th of this month. Though we a heartbroken by her loss, we are eager to TTC again (not getting any younger, who knows how long it will take to get preg again, etc.). This is of course assuming it is an option as we are awaiting chromosome analysis results
on Hubby and I to see if our chromosomes caused our most recent loss and if so, waiting to learn what it means for future attempts prognosis.

Assuming our little girl just drew the short straw in the genetic lottery and that the flaw wasn't derived from Hubby and/or myself, I have a question, or actually more of a clarification request. I see my doc Tuesday, but he told me before we had to wait one "normal" cycle. My question is this: does "one normal cycle" mean A. Ovulation and menses after D&C, meaning we can TTC after next AF? or B. The remainder of this cycle AND another cycle after that, meaning I still have a minimum of 2 months (HCG still in my system according to HPTs) before we can TTC? Do any of you know? I will definitely be asking my OB next week but it is a question that keeps bugging me and I am hoping one you all can answer.  I looked online but everywhere it says to wait "X" normal cycles with no clarification on what *exactly* that means. TIA and
((HUGS)) to all for the losses you've suffered.

I am under the impression that one normal cycle means you can start trying again after your first AF.  I had a D&C April 3rd and got AF May 15th (6wks post-op), we will begin trying this month.

I had my d&c may 8 and my followup was today. My doctor said one cycle which he meant after one AF we cam try again. Good luck!!

One cycle is After the first AF. For example I had a d&c 4/24, just ovulated a few days ago on cd28 and expecting AF around cd 40-42. After that would be when to ttc. We were told we didn't have to wait though so we have been going for it now.
