how long does it take to get pregnant after 2 misscariges?
Answers:
Is it important to wait before trying for another baby?
Some couples decide that they want to begin trying for another pregnancy right away; others feel that they need time to get over their loss. It's up to you.
Many health professionals suggest that you should wait between three and six months after a miscarriage before trying to get pregnant again - most recommend that you have at least one normal period. Research suggests that the risk of miscarriage in the next pregnancy is about one and a half times higher if you don't allow yourself one normal cycle before you try again.
However, don't worry if you find yourself pregnant again before you have a period.
The risk of further miscarriages
Having a miscarriage does not necessarily mean that you have a fertility problem. Most women go on to have healthy pregnancies later. Even after repeated miscarriages (three or more in a row) you still have a 70-80% chance of carrying another pregnancy to term.
Unfortunately, if you had a miscarriage that was associated with an ectopic pregnancy, there is a 20% risk that a further pregnancy could become ectopic and this may affect your fertility.
How to prepare for pregnancy after a miscarriage
Take regular exercise
Eat a healthy diet
Try to keep your weight within reasonable limits
Lower your alcohol intake
Reduce your intake of high-caffeine drinks, such as coffee
Stop smoking
Take folic acid to help the development of your baby's nervous system
Avoid any unnecessary medication
Rest as much as possible during the first few weeks of pregnancy
Easier said than done - but try not to get over anxious
Stress is known to release certain chemicals in the brain that can interfere with the production of your normal pregnancy hormones. If you're worried, talking to others who have had similar problems does help, so log on to our message board and share your feelings.
Above all, try to remember that most couples that have a miscarriage go on to have a healthy baby.
Most cases of early miscarriages, likely well over 60%-70%, are due to chromosomal anomalies. Doing a chromosome count on the fetus can help you better identify the cause. Unfortunately, many doctors do not do this test, so it's impossible to know exactly what happened. And if this was the only miscarriage, you chances having a healthy baby after the next pregnancy are excellent.
When to try again after a miscarriage
When is it safe to try again? This is one of the most common questions couples face after a miscarriage. While some not ready to think about trying again for a long while, others find comfort in continuing to try to conceive again without delay -- especially those couples who were already trying to get pregnant. Either reaction is perfectly normal.
If you are one of those who are anxious to try again right away, it can be difficult to get a straight answer on when it's safe to keep trying. Ask three different doctors and you'll likely get three different answers...likely the following:
Three to six months
This is the most common response. Being the traditional, by-the-book answer, some doctors will often give this advice for all patients following a miscarriage without adjusting it to suit individual circumstances. In some cases, it may make sense to wait for a few months after a loss. If the pregnancy was further along, it could be that your body does need some time to replenish lost nutrients. If you had a D&C, your doctor may feel it's best to wait in order to be sure your uterine lining properly replenishes itself.
However, in cases such as a very early "chemical" pregnancy or a loss at 5-6 weeks, it is hard to make a case that the body truly needs three months to recover when in many of these cases, a woman might not even know she had miscarried if she was not actively trying for a baby at that point.
After your first normal period
Some doctors feel it is safe to try again without a long waiting period after a loss, but they recommend waiting one cycle for the first normal menstrual period. The reasoning behind this is that they have an easier time dating a pregnancy with a last menstrual period as a reference. Since ovulation may not occur on a normal schedule after bleeding from a miscarriage, they feel waiting for a normal period will help date a pregnancy should it occur right away.
Right away...if you feel ready
Some doctors believe that, for most women, there is no medical reason to wait at all. According to this school of thought, once the bleeding ceases, it's fine to continue trying. These doctors do not worry overly about the problem of dating the pregnancy since ultrasound can be used if the dates are uncertain.
How to know what to do
Obviously, it is best to have your doctor's stamp of approval on your plans to try again, since you will need to seek prenatal care when you do get pregnant again. If your doctor recommends a long wait and you prefer not to wait, ask for a thorough explanation on why he or she is recommending that course of action. Find out if there are specific reasons in your medical situation why your doctor feels it is best to wait. If there are no specific reasons, ask if your doctor feels there is any major risk to trying again right away. Often, the answer may be no.
Be sure to give yourself the time you need to grieve, however. Do not discount your feelings of loss, and be sure to examine whether you really do need some time before jumping back into the ups and downs of trying to conceive. No matter what any doctor says about your physical readiness, only you and your partner truly know how long you need before you are emotionally ready.
Other Answers:
as long as it takes for you to start ovulating again. You sound as if you have had a difficult time, but if you conceived normally before then you should do so again, but sometimes getting stressed about it doesn't help.
I too, suffered a distressing miscarriage and was desperate to be pregnant again. It was only when I came to terms with perhaps not getting pregnant, that it happened.
I do wish you well.
Take care.
Thats probably bad. I don't know but I suggest you should have sex with a condom
