A woman who has had one miscarriage does not have an increased risk of a miscarriage with the next pregnancy, although her fear will certainly increase. A woman who has had two or more miscarriages in a row may have an increased risk and some testing may be indicated.

We would like to see you wait at least one full, normal cycle before attempting another pregnancy. This will allow your menstrual cycle to re-establish itself and make sure the uterus has healed. More importantly, it will allow you time to emotionally recover from this loss and be ready for the next pregnancy.

Understandably, you will be anxious with the next pregnancy. Call us as soon as you think you are pregnant. We will try to see you early in the pregnancy. Often an ultrasound will confirm a fetal heart beat and help to reassure you that all is well! (We will discuss this further at your follow-up visit).
