Abstaining from vaginal intercourse for one to two weeks after complete passage of pregnancy tissue generally is recommended to reduce the risk of infection, but this is not an evidence-based recommendation.
Because older women are at higher risk of recurrent miscarriage, age is an essential factor that should be considered when deciding how long to wait. The ability to become pregnant starts declining after age 30, so it may take a bit longer to get pregnant. Not everyone should jump back into pregnancy after a miscarriage.
Aside from the emotional toll of a miscarriage, there may be physical reasons to hold off. During fertilization, a problem with the embryo can cause a noncancerous tumor to grow around it instead of a placenta.
Because this growth is not able to support a healthy fetus, miscarriage results. To reduce the chances of a recurrent molar pregnancy, most doctors advise waiting one year before getting pregnant again. During this time, your levels of human growth hormone hCG can be monitored monthly to ensure that the issue has completely cleared up before you undertake another pregnancy. Some doctors advise waiting at least three months before trying to conceive if the miscarriage occurred during the second trimester.
The belief is that waiting three months gives your uterus and hormones some time to heal and return to baseline before you attempt another pregnancy. While most women heal within a few days of the procedure, possible complications include the risk of infection during intercourse. Depending on the circumstances of your miscarriage, your doctor may encourage you to give it some time before trying again.
For instance, if you suffered significant blood loss, you may feel it's best to give your body time to heal and build back up your iron stores. Additionally, hCG levels remain high for a period of time following a miscarriage. If you take a pregnancy test shortly after miscarrying, elevated levels from your previous pregnancy can trigger a positive urine test, causing distress and disappointment. Each situation is unique, so it's important to communicate your plans to your doctor and engage in a dialogue that will offer the best opportunity to reach your desired outcome.
Even if you start trying again right away, another pregnancy might take time. Although it can be frustrating when you are eager to be pregnant, this doesn't mean there's anything wrong. About nine out of every 10 couples will achieve a pregnancy within a year, assuming they are timing intercourse to the fertile period of the menstrual cycle.
If you're older than 35 and not pregnant within six months of trying, you may wish to speak with a fertility specialist. Having a miscarriage is a traumatic experience. This thinking goes against recommendations from very big organizations. The World Health Organization, for one, recommends that couples wait up to six months after a miscarriage before trying again.
The reasoning here is mostly psychological. It is fair to say that extreme emotional distress is not healthy for pregnant people or their developing babies. Bereavement during pregnancy has been linked with an increased risk of stillbirth. And depression during pregnancy is associated with a greater risk of sleep and mental health problems for their children later in life. In contrast, a review of studies that included more than one million women found that getting pregnant within six months after a miscarriage led to a lower risk of another miscarriage and of preterm birth.
Trolice suspects that couples who conceive right away might be more likely to make the health and lifestyle adjustments needed for a healthy pregnancy. For instance, women who waited longer to get pregnant after a miscarriage had higher rates of obesity compared to women who tried to get pregnant right away.
As more and more parents opt to have children later in life, advancing age has put many pregnant people at an increased risk of miscarriage. You may find it helpful to read our leaflet Thinking about another pregnancy. Miscarriage can be a very unhappy and frightening experience. Even some time later you may still be coping with feelings of shock and great sadness. You may also be feeling anxious about the future — especially about trying again.
For many people who have experienced miscarriage, ectopic or molar pregnancy, finding out they are pregnant again can bring with it a mixture of hope and anxiety. We hope this leaflet will help people through. A single miscarriage can be very distressing; and it can be devastating if the next pregnancy fails too Meaning, okay, now you can take the time to plan it.
Of course, if the miscarriage just met with a sigh of relief, you shouldn't just jump in and get pregnant again. Contraception and planning for your pregnancy and postponing another one until you're ready would be the right thing. Now, some women have significant medical problems that are in adequately treated. When they seek medical care for the miscarriage, the underlying medical problem is recognized and it may take time to treat before becoming pregnant again. The prime example, of course, is diabetes.
Uncontrolled diabetes can have a very significant adverse effects on a pregnancy including birth defects, and it may have even caused the miscarriage. Taking several months to get blood sugar under control and evaluate if there are other problems caused by diabetes might be a concern in the pregnancy.
And there are many other diseases that might be under control or be diagnosed at the time of the miscarriage that really needs a little time to check it out, work it up, get it under control before you get pregnant. Now, some miscarriages are caused by a structural abnormality in the uterus such as a wall in the middle of the uterus that a woman might have had since birth or a fibroid in the uterus.
If the evaluation of the miscarriage makes the clinician suspect that the uterus might not be healthy for a pregnancy, you should wait, meaning really wait. Use contraception until the uterus is evaluated and possible surgical correction of the problem considered so you don't have miscarriage after miscarriage after miscarriage.
