How Long After Miscarriage Before You Tried Again?

Hi G.,

My sister-in-law also lost her baby this week. The DR told her she should wait at least 2 to 3 months before she should try again. Just to give the cirvix some time to heal.
I hope this helps,

Hi G., I am sooo very sorry for your loss, no matter what people say, that was your baby, and a part of you feels the loss tremendously.

I don't know what your situation is, whether you have insurance or not, but if you do have insurance, definitly see your ob/gyn - if you don't, go to your local health department clinic.

MY drs said to wait after you have 3 periods, after that your body will be ready to try again.

Best of luck, and look forward to seeing another post from you that a baby is on the way!!! Have a great day.

I am very sorry for your loss. We have miscarried 2 times and now have a healthy beautiful baby girl. It is recommended that you wait at least 3 months before trying. That way your body gets your cycle back to normal. I hope you and your husband have success this next time. Just remember, the baby you lost was so special it got to go straight to God!

My doctor told me after 2 full periods.

Hi G.. I'm really sorry to hear about your loss. I, myself, have suffered from 2 miscarriages, both exactly 3 months apart. I didn't really try again until alittle over a year later and I got twins out of it. Standard time is 3 months...and honestly, I would suggest waiting that long, to not only let your body heal, but your heart as well. I lost my first on 11-12-01 after being pregnant 4 months. I lost my second on 2-13-02 at about a month along. It caused alot of problems in my marriage and in the end, we got divorced. I got pregnant with my twins in 12/03...and they will be celebrating their 3rd birthday in July.

I wish you the best of luck......

Hi there, first of all I am very sorry, I know what it is like. I lost my first at 13 weeks. But we saw it as "it was not meant to be". Our doctor told us we could start trying as early as one month later, but we waited 3 months. Then it took 3 months to get pregnant again. We hnow ave a beautiful, healthy boy (18 months old now) With another on the way.

It's a hard thing to have happen, but that was natures way of saying something was wrong. After I had mine I realized how common miscarriages are. They are very common. Just know that you will get pregnant again. You'll feel a little unsure next time but try not to think about it. If something is going to happen, it is going to happen, there is nothing you can do about it. So it is best to just think positive and be excited about the future.

Good luck!

My first pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage at 11 weeks. Although my doctor told us we had to wait until I had my period 3 times, I felt that if I had gotten it once, everything was obviously working right. We got pregnant almost exactly 6 weeks after the miscarriage and now have a beautiful 13 month old daughter.

I have no information about this topic, your gyno would be the best person to ask, however, I just wanted to let you know that I am so sorry for your loss........

I am very sorry about your lose. I had a miscarriage at about the exact same time when I was first pregnant. (now I have 2 very healthy little girls) I waited a year, but not because I was worried, we just decided we weren't ready for a baby yet and that was kind of our sign. 5 weeks is really early though, so there is really nothing to worry about. If you didn't have pregnancy tests you would probably would have never even known you were pregnant. Remember everything happens for a reason. Good luck!

G.,
First I am so sorry for your loss. I lost mine at 13 weeks. I Had to have a D&C, and at my 2 week check up the Dr told me I could try again after I had one normal period. It took a couple of months for my period to return, but quite honestly I did not feel ready emotionally then. My D&C was at the end of March, and I found out I was pregnant again in August. I had a beautiful little baby boy :) That was my first misscariage, and I had a previous pregnancy (5 yr old boy) My sister had a loss when she was further along and her dr told her to wait until they she had 3 periods, so I think it really depends on the situation. She by the way went on to have a health baby girl :) I quite honestly did not realize how common miscarriage was until it happened to me. I have to share something really strange too. My babies due date was april 28th, and he came 5 weeks early on March 23rd. It was the exact day a year before when I found out I lost my #2 baby. I hope this has helped a little, and again I am sorry for your loss.

I am truly sorry for your loss. I lost my baby in October of 2003, and we decided to just take a break and relax and in January of 2004 I got pregnant and I have a beautiful 2 year old. My doctor recommended a 3 month break after a miscarriage. God Bless you in this time.

So sorry for your loss. I went through it last year. I almost lost my life while i was losing the baby. It was a ruptured ectopic. Anyway, 3 months is the correct time to wait. I am a nurse with 4 years of maternity exposure. The best answer will come from your obgyn, be persistant with asking for the next appt. Good luck and best wishes for a better new year!!!

Standard answer is to wait 3 months - but it really depends on the circumstances and the doctor. You really should try to get in with your doctor to get checked out.

Im very sorry for you loss. I had a miscarriage in September of 2006 and I had to have a d&c done. after that procedure I was told to wait a least 3 months before trying to have another one.I was told once I had a miscarrige it would be really easy to get pregnant again. Exactly 3 months later I was pregnant. Check with your Dr. first everyone is different.

I just want to say that I am sorry for your loss. I also had a miscarriage, I was 9 weeks at the time. I had to have a D&C so I had some recovery time from that, but my doctor told me the standard 3 months to let my body get back to normal, for me it did take the 3 months for my body to get back to a normal cycle.
It took me over a year after that to become pregnant again, but the end result was a very healthy son.
I think it all depends on how you are emotionally and what your doctor has to tell you.
Good luck.

First off, I am so sorry for your loss.......but I'm a believer in this "things happen for a reason". Perhaps there was something wrong with the fetus, or it could have just been spontaneous, who knows. I had two miscarriages before my first child, and had absolutely no problem conceiving thereafter. Mine were both spontaneous, the first at 6weeks, poor implantation in uterus, and the second at 8weeks with an undetermined cause. After the first one we waited six weeks before trying, which was the recommended time by my doctor. Then we became pergnant very soon after, perhaps it was too soon and that is why it did not take. This one was not complete and I had to get a DNC. It took us a while to greive after this one and we waited a few months before trying again, four to be exact and at seven months we were pregnant again. It was probably the easiest pregnancy I've heard of. No morning sickness or anything, I even went past my due date.
Please take time to greive your loss and don't be in a rush to become pregnant right away, it will happen naturally when you are physically ready. For now, please see your doctor asap to make sure your miscarriage was complete you do not want to get an infection or worse. TELL THE RECEPTIONIST WHAT HAPPENED AND THE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SQUEEZE YOU IN, OR GO TO THE ER. Once you know everything is ok, you and your partner can have fun praticing until you feel you are emotionally ready to try again. It will happen much easier if there is no stress about it. Good luck!

When I miscarried I was advised to wait six months. Some people say that you can try again in three months. Even a five week pregnancy needs time for the body to heal from, much like any fullterm pregnancy. I'm so sorry for your loss; miscarriage is like this huge secret - after I lost my baby at 12 weeks, I found out nearly everyone I knew had either miscarried themselves or knew someone personally who had. I did some research and found that when double-blind studies were carried out, the rate of miscarriage was 1 out of 2 pregnancies, completely blasting out of the water the previously held notion that the rate was 1 in 5. Seems that many people are a few days late, have a heavy period and just think it was nothing...everyone who is born is a miracle. Wishing you all the best.

I had a miscarriage almost a year ago and the first thing I wanted to do was try again. But then I started worrying, so I talked to my doctor and he said that I should really wait until I'm 100 percent ready, and he would help me through it to make sure I'm in perfect health, etc. My doctor has been really helpful. I know it's the last place you want to go right now, but trust me, it really can help.

Hello G.,

I would like to offer you condolences about your loss. I also suffered through a miscarraige about 7 years ago. I was told by the doctor to wait at least 6 weeks before trying again.

I know someone who lost her child right before her due date and within...actually right before the year anniversary she gave birth to a healthy baby boy. I think it might just be up to your body.
