When can you get pregnant after a miscarriage?

Answer 1

There are actually cases in which a woman has miscarried one twin and carried the other to term. There is no rule -- either medically or biologically. You may become pregnant days after a miscarriage, if your body is producing ova.

If your miscarriage has caused you emotional trauma, and a subsequent miscarriage would aggrevate that trauma, it would be sensible to wait a couple of months until your body is back on a regular cycle to improve the chances of carrying to term.

Remember that a huge percentage of pregnancies end in miscarriage, commonly at or around the 12th week. Some estimates are as high as 75 percent. We only know about this high rate because improvements in pregnancy testing enable us to know within days whether or not a pregnancy has occurred. Thirty years ago, women didn't even know they were pregnant until after that 12-week mark.

For the first twelve weeks, you can pretty much assume you'll probably miscarry -- statistically speaking. It's just the way the human body works. Once you pass the twelve-week mark, celebrate. You're gonna have a baby!
