Pregnancy after Miscarriage


Your pregnancy was suddenly interrupted by a miscarriage that simply crushed all the dreams that you had about your baby. Although the wound is deep, especially emotionally, you'll inevitably wonder how soon you can get pregnant again and what are the risks of another miscarriage.

A miscarriage is a tough challenge in a couple. Most tend to recover from their loss or to "treat" themselves by trying to conceive another baby as soon as possible. There are a number of rules that a woman, who went through the experience of a miscarriage must respect and there are certain steps that she must follow before the next pregnancy.

Finding the cause of miscarriage may be the key to success for the next pregnancy

First of all, the woman needs to go to the doctor for medical investigations on the causes that led to the abortion. A definite cause that produces this type of abortion has not yet discovered, as many anomalies are present regarding the circumstances in which it occurs. Post-abortion tests are necessary precisely to eliminate any cause of psychological nature.

They are multiple tests to be done. The woman needs a lot of patience in order to go through them all, especially since they have to be done immediately after the trauma. The most important of them are as follows:

How long after a miscarriage can I get pregnant?

A miscarriage does not eliminate the chances of a woman to carry a pregnancy to term in good conditions. Conversely, if you eliminate the problem that caused the first miscarriage, the chances of bearing a pregnancy to full term are greatly increased.

The best time to conceive a baby depends on the recovery of each body. The natural restoration of the body after a miscarriage is generally very fast. On average, the appearance of menses occurs at about six weeks after the occurrence of the unfortunate event, plus or minus a few days. However, doctors are cautious and recommend a resting period of approximately three months until the next attempt to conceive a child is made. This recovery period is extremely useful both for the woman's emotional recovery as well as for the complete regeneration of the endometrium (uterine lining).

Healthy women can have miscarriages too!

Every woman should be aware that a miscarriage does not necessarily occur on a pathological background. The risk of spontaneous abortion exists for any pregnant woman, the percentage of women, who were in good health and yet suffered from a miscarriage is between 15% -20%. Depending on the age and other features, the percentage may increase or decrease.

Women, who have gone through a miscarriage more than once, wonder what the statistical chances are that it may recur in the future pregnancy. If there is a history of clinical miscarriage, a woman's chances of this nightmare happening again are 25%.
