Miscarriages – When to try again


It is true that not all couples are fortunate enough to have first normal conception that they can carry to term. Rather there is more number of women who have miscarriages in first trimester with or without a known reason. Those women often consult a doctor for taking a second or next chance after their initial miscarriage. And it is obviously right to opt for an obstetrician and gynecologist before you take any decision, as each case may vary from the other and therefore, it is better not to depend upon any of your friend’s advice.
Also it is evident from numerous studies that either of the following may be advised to couples trying to conceive after miscarriage:
(1) Leave a gap of 6 months: Especially the woman who undergoes D&C has to wait little longer that those with complete abortion. This is because little more time (4-6 months) may be required for the endometrial lining to replenish after early miscarriage.
(2) No need to wait: Many doctors believe that after miscarriage, the body takes care of the replenishing part pretty soon and till the time woman conceives again, she is fit to carry on pregnancy without any hassles. So, doctors may advise you to start trying earlier.
(3) Let your normal period begin: Well, some doctors believe that when a woman conceives immediately after miscarriage, without having had her period in between, it is difficult to guess exact duration of pregnancy in initial stages. Also, the doctors believe that normal ovulation occurs only after the first normal natural period following miscarriage. Therefore, to conceive healthily it is better to wait till the woman has her first menstrual cycle after miscarriage.
