Miscarriages are usually emotionally and psychologically depressing for a couple. Some couples recover sooner while some take a longer time to heal from the experience. Nevertheless, couples would be happy to know that miscarriages do not generally cause infertility and so there are still chances of getting pregnant after a miscarriage. In fact, a miscarriage generally do not have an effect on how long it takes for you to conceive, unless there are some other medical problems involved.
After overcoming the grief of a miscarriage, the next question would be the suitable time to try getting pregnant again. The answer to this varies depending on different individuals because it takes into account one's physical and emotional conditions such as the health, the psychological form after the loss and the relationship with your partner.
Physically, you need to allow your body to recover from the strain of the miscarriage; for example to ensure that the bleeding stops and also to allow your body's natural hormone levels to return to normal. It is best to avoid sexual intercourse when you are waiting for the bleeding to stop as it might cause infections. Once the bleeding stops, it is advisable to use contraptions while waiting for the hormones to return to their normal levels. Usually your body's natural hormone levels will revert to normal after four to six weeks. Ovulation after miscarriage can occur after two weeks and your periods may return as soon as 28 days after your miscarriage.
When trying to conceive again after a miscarriage, it is normal to feel like you are riding a roller coaster ride of emotions which involves you feeling stress and anxious sometimes, while at others, feeling over the top and optimistic. Thus, the most important thing is to constantly discuss and share how you are feeling with your partner.
Normal women who have suffered one miscarriage have an 80 per cent chance of a successful pregnancy. However, if your miscarriage was due to a medical condition, your odds of conceiving again might be different. It would help if you can identify what caused the previous miscarriage so that you can prevent it from happening again. You can do so by talking to your General Practitioner or doctor who treats you. Find out also from your doctor any other possible concerns regarding your ongoing risk of having another miscarriage.
However, one general rule one must adhere to in order to get pregnant again after a miscarriage is to get healthy and stay healthy. This means watching your diet as well as practicing exercises and workouts to keep a healthy weight. In addition, avoid bad habits such as smoking (this include being around second hand smoke too) and drinking alcohol and caffeine consumption. Remember also to always be happy, minimize your stress level as much as you can and continue to have sex at the suitable time of your cycle. Follow these rules of thumb and you'll be on your way to a successful pregnancy after your miscarriage.
