Answer 1

your health after miscarriage

HCG Levels
Most women can expect their levels to return to a non-pregnant range about 4 - 6 weeks after a pregnancy loss has occurred. This can differentiate by how the loss occurred (spontaneous miscarriage, D&C procedure, abortion, natural delivery), and how high the levels were at the time of the loss.
Health care providers usually will continue to test HCG levels after a pregnancy loss to ensure they return back to 5.0.

tiredness
It is normal to feel emotionally and physically drained following a miscarriage. If possible take a few days off work, and if you can't, make sure you get to bed early, plan rests where possible and postpone anything that isn't urgent.
Make yourself your first priority.

bleeding
If your miscarriage is complete, you can expect your bleeding to taper off rapidly, i.e. over the next week it should get lighter and lighter and stop. All bleeding and spotting should have stopped by seven days. If it persists or is heavier than a normal period, this indicates something is wrong, see your doctor. While you are still bleeding it is important that you shower, not bath, and that you do not swim in public pools because of the risk of contracting an infection.

pain
When the miscarriage is complete, or after a D&C all pain should cease. Again, see your doctor if you have continuing pain.

temperature
Temperature indicates infection which can result in infertility. If you have one see your doctor urgently. You will be treated with antibiotics and possibly a D&C (or repeat D&C).

discharge
If you are having an offensive discharge this could also indicate infection so get checked out.

lactation
This is normal if the pregnancy has lasted longer than 12 weeks and will stop by itself.

menstrual cycle
Ovulation can occur 14 days after a miscarriage with the next period 28 days after the miscarriage, but there is great personal variation. It may take a few cycles before your regular pattern is re-established. This means that you can become pregnant 14 days after a miscarriage if you resume a normal cycle immediately, but there is a great personal variation. It can take up to 6 or 7 weeks for your next period to come if you had "natural" miscarriage (i.e. no D&C or tablets).

sex
Sexual intercourse should be avoided until bleeding has stopped to prevent the risk of infection. Even though your cervix will be closed again, sperm can travel up through it and introduce infection into the uterus, which is still healing.

contraception
If you do not wish to become pregnant immediately, you should start using contraception straight after the miscarriage. Note: The pill should be commenced at the time of the miscarriage. You will not be safe until you have taken the tablets for 14 days.

the physical symptoms of grief
Many women find they experience physical symptoms of grief as well as the emotional aspects. These vary greatly from person to person, and include:
disturbed sleep and eating patterns
unexplainable tiredness
unexpected tears
disturbing dreams and mental confusion

Be gentle and patient with yourself during this time and take comfort in knowing that these symptoms are normal.

Answer 3

All I could say that I had a miscarriage not so long ago and I still hope I could get pregnant but my doctor told that I have to wait at least 3 week and for my next period time just have hope and wait you will get pregnant again because I never loose hope and I hope you the best god bless you ill be praying for you.

Answer 4

I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I hope you are finding love and support from your family and friends.

You can become pregnant the next time you ovulate. That's probaby a month or two months after you lost the baby. Your OB-GYN can help you determine when you start ovulating again, or you can just wait for your period to start again.

Best of luck to you, and God bless.

Answer 5

I know it seems trite, but a lot of becoming pregnant after a miscarriage has to do with your state of mind. It took me a year and a half to become pregnant again because of how devastated I was. I am now expecting in December, though, so it will happen. Just relax, and let nature take its course!! God will do the rest.

Answer 6

If you had a miscarriage, I am sorry for you. As far as how soon you can get pregnant, really it affects nothing. You could be pregnant with tripplets as soon as you want to be. Very sorry to hear of your loss, and good luck with a healthy happy full family, ahead.

Answer 7

I think your chances of getting pregnant now are the same as before you lost your baby. I don't think being "open down there" is why you get pregnant so quickly after giving birth, I think that has to do with your hormone levels.
Anyways, I am sorry for your loss and hope you are pregnant again soon! Good luck!

Answer 8

I would think if the doc gave you the ok, then everything will be alright for you to try again. I miscarried at 6 weeks, and got pregnant again in less than three months. I miscarried that baby, too, and got pregnant again after 4 months. That last pregnancy resulted in my lovely youngest daughter!! Good luck, and you hang in there! It'll happen if it's meant to happen!

Answer 9

My 2nd preg was a miscarriage, and my doc told me I should wait 6 months. I think I was preg again about 4 months after, but I did have some problems and almost lost that one. Luckily, I rested and prayed, and he was fine. Sorry for your loss. Please take care of yourself and get health back before trying again. Good luck and God bless!

Answer 10

You are *not* more fertile after giving birth. In fact, you are typically infertile for 6 months or longer. (Note that I said *typically*--not *every* woman!) After a miscarriage, you will be just as fertile as you were before the pregnancy, minus a bit for having aged...
