: : Hello, This was my first pregnancy and I had a miscarriage about 3 weeks ago. It is a painful experience , physical and emotional, in my case i was very illusioned with the baby.

: : I want to try again. I dont know how long i suppose to wait. I do not really want to experiment a second experience like the last one.

: : A friend of mine says that the womb is weak and the body needs to recover its normal way. I want to prepare myself and I want know somebody could help me and share with me a similar experience.

: : if anybody knows about it , please answer my question.

: : thank you.

: :I had a miscarriage as well about 18 months ago and am about 8 weeks pregnant now. My doctor told me that we should probably wait a few months to try again but I don't remember his reasoning. Others told me that you are very fertile right after a miscarriage and can try again right away. I personally, am scared to death that this pregnancy will end as the other did. Miscarriage was a terrible thing to go through emotionally and physically. Good luck to you.

I too miscarried, at 9 wks. The Ob/Gyn on duty at the time told me I only had to wait one period. 2 months later I got pregnant and now have a healthy 13 month old baby girl. The "new" thinking is just wait one period, although I know of friends who have been told to wait 3 months by old time practitioners.
