Does having one miscarriage mean I'm likely to miscarry again?
No. Although you're likely to be worried about the possibility of another miscarriage, fertility experts don't consider a single early pregnancy loss to be a sign that there's anything wrong with you or your partner.

Some practitioners will order special blood and genetic tests to try to find out what's going wrong after two miscarriages in a row, particularly if you're 35 or older or have certain medical conditions. Others will wait until you've had three consecutive losses. In certain situations, such as if you had a second trimester miscarriage or an early third trimester premature birth from a weakened cervix, you might be referred to a high-risk specialist after a single loss so she can carefully manage your pregnancy.

When can I try to conceive again?
You may have to wait a bit. Whether you miscarry spontaneously or have the tissue removed, you'll generally get your period again in four to six weeks.

Some practitioners say you can start trying to conceive again after this period, but others recommend that you wait until you've been through another menstrual cycle so that you have more time to recover physically and emotionally. (You'll need to use birth control to prevent conception during this time, because you may ovulate as early as two weeks after you miscarry.)

Answer 3

I agree with one of the other answerers, think positively - always!!

Your chances of miscarriage are no higher than they were. Just because you miscarried once does NOT mean it will happen again. (This is assuming you didn't miscarry because of a specific problem with your body)

If the miscarriage was for any other reason, don't worry, stay as relaxed as possible, put your feet up!

I had "The Perfect Pregnancy" with my first, I had no sickness, bleeding, discomfort etc... However, a few years later I miscarried. The next pregnancy was going fine (although with quite bad nausea!), but then I woke up bleeding one night - I was 4 months. The doctors at the hospital thought I was miscarrying, but my baby girl held on in there, and I'm now 30 weeks!

Keep your eyes open for any signs, but don't spend your whole pregnancy worrying you may lose your baby, stress can bring on a miscarriage too!

Good luck, and congrats!!

Answer 4

There are many reasons for miscarriage. Some can cause repeat miscarriages and some do not.

One reason for repeated miscarriage that I am personally familiar w/ is anticadiolipin antibodies (also known as antiphospholipid antibodies). It is probably more common that ppl know but is fairly easy to treat. I take baby aspirin and twice daily injections of heparin when pregnant.

Low progesterone can be another cause as can Fragile X syndrome. I was recently reading that women who have used barrier methods of contraception prior to conceiving can have a higher risk of miscarriage b/c of an immune response.

Many other causes of miscarriage DO NOT reoccur. Hang in there. It can be so scary when you are pregnant and worried for the baby, especially if you've had tragedy before. If it would put your mind at ease, you can be checked for anticardiolipin antibodies (maybe self-pay if necessary).

Answer 5

With any pregnancy you go through their is risk of miscarriage. First pregnancies are common to have miscarriages. Up to 30% of first pregnancies result in it.

I wouldnt say your risks higher then someone who hasnt had a miscarriage, unless of course their is something medically wrong with you, your uterus is incompetent or other factors in the body that could affect pregnancy

It may of just been a one time unfortunate experience

I know of women that have had 5-6-7 miscarriages but it is because something was going on with them medically most of the time. Some women just cannot carry full term


I wish you the best of luck! Everything will be fine

Answer 6

this depends on the reason you miscarried the first time. but since you have a history of miscarraige keep in close contact with your healthcare provider. They will be able to direct you with the correct plan of care so you can carry your baby full term. Take care of yourself and your baby.

Answer 7

I've heard that its not unusual to miscarry on your first pregnancy, my friend did and she subsequently went on to carry 2 more children without any problems. My sister in law carried her first baby without any problems, but then went on to have 6 miscarriages, the problem then turned out to be that she needed to take medication to give her a lower clotting factor, and when taking the meds she carried her baby fine.
I'm sure you'll be perfectly alright, but thats something to ask docs about if you do have any problems. I think its terrible though that they wont do any investigations until a woman has miscarried 3 times.
Congratulations and all the best!!! xx

Answer 8

You have a slightly higher risk of another but dont think of it that way. Miscarriages happen for a reason, and there is nothing to say that this time round that reason is present. Just try and relax, take it easy, eat healthily, dont smoke, drink, maybe even lay of sex for a while until you are past the danger period.

Good luck

Answer 9

First of all, ignore your first answer. He obviously just wants to cause trouble. Just because you suffered a miscarriage before does not mean you will again. I have a friend who miscarried at 3 months, and went on to have a healthy baby girl less than a year later. Talk to your doctor about it, and hopefully he/she can ease your worries.

Good luck!

Answer 10

The first person who commented is an idiot, it is not certain you will have another one. Alot of people have miscarriages then the second time around they have healthy babies. Your chances do increase, but it is not certain youwill lose this baby. I'm sorry for your loss and congrats on this baby. Just think positive and I'm sure the dr. wil be monitoring you more closely. Good Luck!!

Answer 11

I've heard that when you miscarry, it's because your body is rejecting the baby .. there was probably some kind of defect with the baby .. it's natures way of weeding it out. Your body wants perfection. So, your chances of having a miscarriage isn't anymore likely than someone who's never had one!
(unless there is some kind of medical condition that you have .. which is unlikely the case).

good luck! God bless!
