Can you Conceive After a Miscarriage?

Conceiving after a miscarriage will depend on a number of factors. For starters, it will depend on what caused the miscarriage in the first place. Most of the time, a miscarriage is simply something that happened and there is no specific reason that it occurred.

In other situations, medical issues and other problems might be to blame for the miscarriage. For example, women who are extremely underweight or who have a sexually transmitted disease could be at risk for having a miscarriage. Usually, treating these problems are ways to prevent miscarriages in the future.

Unfortunately, some women simply are not able to carry a pregnancy to term. Usually, this will be determined when the woman has several miscarriages in a row. If this is the case, it is possible that the woman will not be able to become pregnant at all in the future.

How Long to Wait

If you are a woman who is able to try again, it is important to listen to the instructions of your doctor. Usually, your doctor will instruct you to wait about a year before you become pregnant again. This gives you time to treat whatever caused the first miscarriage and hopefully prevent future ones from occurring.

However, it is actually possible to become pregnant as soon as your period starts again. Usually, this takes place about a month after the miscarriage. If your doctor approves, you can begin tracking your ovulation cycle immediately and be able to determine when you are ovulating fairly quickly after a miscarriage.

Along with waiting for your body to heal, you should also give your heart and mind time to heal as well. The emotional toll that you go through after a miscarriage is pretty significant. Sometimes it is best to wait until you have healed from your loss before you move on to another pregnancy.

Since every woman is different, it is difficult to determine exactly when you can begin trying again. For this reason, you should discuss your options with your doctor and evaluate your feelings and mental state before you decide that you are ready to begin trying for another pregnancy.
