How long until I can try again?


It use to be that you shouldn't try to get pregnant for at least three months after a miscarriage, but obstetricians now say that a woman only needs to wait until she has had one normal menstrual period. Some women get pregnant quickly after a miscarriage and newer studies prove this does not lead to a higher incidence of another miscarriage. By waiting until at least one mentstrual period, your obstetrician can determine when the baby was conceived more accurately. Your blood tests and other tests will be more precise this way. If you've had more than one miscarriage or are undergoing a medical evaluation or treatment, you'll need to consult your physician as to when it is safe to begin trying again.
