pregnancy after miscarriage

I've just recently had a miscarriage..... this was my first pregnancy and first miscarriage. I was a little upset and gutted by this news that I was miscarrying but had to stay strong for myself and carry on. I was wondering does it take a while to get pregnant after a miscarriage and any advice on if I should wait a while until I do anything with my partner or if I'm fine to carry on like normal. Do I have an increased risk of another miscarriage or would I carry a full pregnancy with no problems? any help would appreciated

I do believe that their is hope aswell last yr in DEC I had a miscarriage when I didn't even know I was pregnant and then this Year in may I got pregnant again and had another miscarriage that time it really affected me because it happened two times in a row and I started to believe I couldn't have anymore children I have one daughter at this appoint and time after the two miscarriages I got pregnant AGAIN a month later and I didn't know until I was rushed to the emergency due to a horrible pain in my ovaries come to find out it was a ECTOPIC pregnancy after that I was completely done mentally with having children because it was just horrible experiences over and over and over, BUT when me and my boyfriend finally stopped trying I got pregnant AGAIN 1 month in a half after the ectopic pregnancy and it was a SUCCESS now im 5 MONTHS pregnant with a Baby boy and so far everything has been great so I say keep trying because it is possible and I defiantly think he's a blessing for us because we went thru a lot having 4 failed pregnancies in less then a yr and then on the 5th a success

Hello I happily had a healthy child a year to the date after miscarriage.  Good luck you'll be fine I don't even think about it anymore but at the time it was devastating

I got pregnant again even though my doc warned against it after my first MMC and I lost that one also, this time I waited the 3 mths he advised me to wait and I now have a healthy 4week old baby, it works out for some ppl and for some it doesn't, but I am glad I waited the second time around

I agree with Amy. If your body feels good (no pain or strange problems hanging around since the miscarriage-these are common), then trying again is perfectly fine. You have about the same chance as anyone else in reference to carrying a healthy baby to term. Miscarriages are very common and most women go on to have plenty of children...

They say after a miscarriage you are more fertile. It is recommended to wait for your first menstral cycle before trying again. That is just a suggestion though for dating purposes. If you feel physically and emotionally ready go ahead. I am so very sorry for your loss but someone who has one miscarriage has just as good of chances carrying to term the 2nd time around as someone who has never had one. With all that being said, unless your dr has told you otherwise i think you're good to go :) best wishes to you.
