I had a miscarriage last month and I am pregnant again. It was my first miscarraige. My doctor said since it was only one miscarraige I don't have to wait. This pregnancy will not be affected by my previous miscarriage. Unless you have a condition where you have a lot of miscarriages then you have to wait, but if its one, you can try right away. Like I said I got pregnant two weeks at ovulation after my miscarraige.

My doctor said that waiting 1-3 months to start trying again is "old" advice. Most doctors these days don't say to wait 3 months anymore without a specific reason...most say try again whenever you're ready or wait for 1 cycle. If your pregnancy was fairly early without complications in the miscarriage, usually you can start trying again right away. Doctors used to advise patients to wait because it's harder to date the pregnancy if you haven't had a period since the miscarriage. However, since ultrasound technology is so good these days, they can date the pregnancy pretty accurately anyway.
I would say that it's a good time to start charting your fertility signs (if you're not already) so you can tell when you're back to normal in terms of your temperature going back down and getting a negative hcg test. Also get your doctor to check you out with an internal exam a few weeks after the miscarriage to be sure you're all back to normal. My doctor said that until my body is ready, I won't even become pregnant, so there's nothing to worry about. He said that in terms of physical risk, getting pregnant right away is fine.
And anecdotally, a friend of a friend waited her doctor's recommended 3 months and then had another miscarriage...so even when you wait you can't ensure the outcome. I think your mental readiness is more important than an imposed timeline. Of course, if your body doesn't "feel" ready, don't push it.

I miscarried last year at 14 weeks into my pregnancy and my doctor told me that they usually recommend for you to wait 3-6 months for 2 reasons; First, to make sure that you are emotionally over your loss and second, to better determine the due date. BUT he also told me that its NOT a problem and actually women are VERY VERY VERY fertil up to 4 months after they miscarry. He said if he were to recommend I wait, it would be mainly because my body had a hard miscarry, and that he would want me to heal first BUT since I had an easy miscarriage that i was fine to start trying soon. Hope that helps! and best of luck!

My doctor recommended at least 3-6 months. Your body and mind need time to heal and even though you don't usually feel any affects a month later you can still have hormonal issues. Give the next pregnancy a fair chance and wait at least the 3 months.
Good luck but the best thing would be to ask your doctor!

Actually, yes. My doctors said it was the best time as you are more fertile. The only reason they would want you to wait is because of the emotional aspects. It took me a long time to get over my miscarriage. But then again, the odds are better on getting prego right after so....might as well take your chances

It is wise to wait at least 1 cycle to make sure your body clears of al lthe old tissues from the lost baby. Some Dr.s will tell you to wait 3 - 6 months. Consult your Dr. You have to be physically ready, not just emotionally ready . (yeah I know, it's easy to say that, but so hard to do)
Good Luck!

My wife had a miscarriage back in the 80's. Her gynocologist told us to wait 2 months.
Edit: that is -- 2 months with birth control, not no sex for 2 months. When you make love again is up to you.

I waited for 2 months after mine. Let the uterus heal for at least 2-3 cycles before trying again.

nope. during my first pregnancy, i have a miscarriage and my doctor recommended that me and my husband should avoid any sexual contact for a period of three months to allow the uterus to completely heal.

It is really best to wait several months for your body to get in the best shape to conceive again
