Miscarriage

[Abigail103109]

Is it ok to get pregnant after my first normal period after a miscarriage?  I miscarried at 5 weeks and didn't need a D&C.  Thank you!

I had a natural m/c and my doctor told me to wait 3 cycles. I've read anywhere from you can try again right away to 3 cycles, so it probably just depends on the dr. If you think you're ready and want to try agian, check with your dr, but its probably okay.

No wait needed for pregnancy after miscarriage


For the best pregnancy outcomes, when should a woman try to conceive again after a miscarriage? The sooner the better, a new study suggests. Scottish researchers looked at data for nearly 31,000 women who became pregnant after an initial miscarriage. Compared to women who conceived 6 to 12 months after their miscarriage, those who became pregnant again within 6 months were 34% less likely to miscarry a second time. They were also less likely to have an ectopic pregnancy, a cesarean or preterm delivery, or a low-birth-weight infant. The highest risks of a second miscarriage and other pregnancy complications were seen among women who conceived more than 24 months after miscarriage. The findings run contrary to current guidelines by the World Health Organization to wait at least half a year to conceive after having a miscarriage, which affects approximately one in five pregnancies.

If you miscarried naturally then there should be no problems. Good luck TTC!

you should ask your dr about this.  I had a chemical pregnancy recently and my dr told me that I could wait a few cycles or I could right away again.  So yes I'm trying now, lol.  I assume you would be fine. But it takes one call to your dr to ask them for sure.  good luck
