If you're trying to have a baby, you may have heard that after enduring a miscarriage, your body is more fertile. Unfortunately, according to a recent article in The New York Times this is just a rumor.

With so many of my girlfriends getting married and starting families, I definitely have babies on the brain. While I've been told that it's better to wait three months to tell everyone, when I finally do have a bun in the oven I think I'll be too excited to keep it a secret.

Dear Sugar,
I have been having an off-and-on affair with a married man. I know that it's wrong, and we've been trying to stop, but I recently had a miscarriage — I didn't even know that I was pregnant — and he is the only man that I've been sleeping with. My emotions are completely mixed up. 
Having a baby is one of the most exciting times in your life, but unfortunately, pregnancy is not always a happy time for everyone. The risk of miscarriage is always a possibility. If you've never had to support a friend who has suffered from one, here are some tips to keep in mind. 
Dear Sugar--
Last year I unexpectedly got pregnant while on birth control. At the time I had been dating the father of my baby for over five years, and he beamed with pride when he saw the first ultrasound, but I was very young (22) and wasn't sure how to tell my conservative family. When I was only 7 weeks pregnant, I had a miscarriage.
