welcome to healthcaremagic
it is advisable not to get pregnant atleast for 6 months after abortion
you can surely wait for 8/9 months for next preg
d/c is not the cause of over weight may be you are not taking enough exercises and not taking healthy balanced diet
there may be some endocrine problem for over weight
please get check up and reduce weight as this reduces the chance of pregnancy
thyroid test must have been done by now ,if not get thyroid function tests

  Hi, 
      Sorry for the incidence.YOu seem to be concious about avoiding the history repeat! good!          Please rember the woman who has conceived once, can conceive again,so no tension please.           Actually a gap of 3 mths following miscarraige,is desirable. It's good for the systemes to come back to normal.IF you wish for a longer gap please start taking oral contraceptives from 5th day of your cycle.the type of oc.is tobe decided by a gynac consultation.Thus you can plan yr pregnancy.it's easier to conceive following oc.          3 mths before the planned mth. tab folic acid 5mg &cap. evion 500mg -once a day -should be started by both the partners.
Overweight can affect conception, pregnancy,delivary. so it's always better to be with proper weight & perfect health for a happy child bearing-so you have enough time,try to reduce!
Thank you.
