Medical Video: Pregnancy Tips : How to Try to Get Pregnant After a Miscarriage
Maybe you need some time after a miscarriage to recover, organize your life again. Maybe you are confused about when to start again to try to get pregnant again after a miscarriage. However, starting now or later seems like this doesn't matter, depending on your condition.
Research says: the faster the better
Most women may feel unsafe if they get pregnant again after a miscarriage. Many women still feel worried if they want to immediately start trying to get pregnant again. But, believe me it doesn't matter if you want to immediately start trying again after your condition has recovered and you feel ready physically and mentally.
Recent research has also shown that the faster the better it is to try to get pregnant again after experiencing a miscarriage. The study reports that women who were pregnant within 6 months of miscarriage had better pregnancies and lower complications than women who waited longer to get pregnant again.
However, the researchers also reminded that there are several conditions that require women to wait longer before trying to get pregnant again. This condition is like in women who show signs of infection or women who experience a traumatic procedure and need a longer recovery time.
When should you try to get pregnant again after a miscarriage?
Although some experts say the sooner the better it is to try to get pregnant again after a miscarriage, it is different from the WHO recommendations. WHO recommends waiting at least 6 months after a miscarriage. There are also other suggestions that say wait until 18 months.
According to the American Pregnancy Association, waiting for at least two or three menstrual periods seems safe to try to get pregnant again after a miscarriage (if a test or treatment for the cause of a miscarriage is not done). Indeed, when you try to get pregnant again after a miscarriage, you must be in a condition that has completely recovered. If your body is not ready to support pregnancy again, your risk of experiencing a miscarriage again actually increases. Your body needs some time to restore the condition of the uterus and also to strengthen the endometrial layer in the uterus.
Of all these differences of opinion, the point is you can start to try to get pregnant again after a miscarriage when your condition is truly ready physically and mentally. You can immediately try to get pregnant again after waiting a few weeks to several months, depending on your readiness.
Indeed, there is no strong reason to prove you have to wait long to get pregnant again. However, make sure you are in optimal health before becoming pregnant again. Taking prenatal vitamins and folic acid before conception may need to be done in an effort to get a healthy pregnancy.
What are the chances of getting pregnant again after a miscarriage?
Take it easy, if you have had a miscarriage, your chance to get pregnant again until your baby is born is no different from someone who has never had a miscarriage, said Jani Jensen, MD, a reproductive endocrinologist from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, reported from pParents.
Usually women who have had a miscarriage will have a healthy pregnancy afterwards. At least 85% of women who have had a miscarriage once can have a successful pregnancy in the next pregnancy. As many as 75% of women who have had two to three miscarriages can also have a successful pregnancy. The more miscarriages you experience seem to increase your risk of miscarriage again. For this reason, you should prepare yourself (physically and mentally) first before trying to get pregnant again.
