Fertility after miscarriage

[Chantelle89]

Hi Ladies, I hope you’re well and had a lovely Christmas - or as good as one as you could have! I just wanted to know what advice people had about ‘trying’ again for a baby after miscarriage.

My friend was told to try straight away after she miscarried but the guidance on the NHS reads different. Just wanted to seek some other opinions!

I am also really aware that me getting pregnant is a big IF - my husbands sperm count was so low - so I am still prepared that we may not be lucky enough to have another.

Thanks in advance ❤️

I was told at the EPU where my miscarriage was confirmed that we were fine to try again from the following month. She said women are more fertile in the 3 months following. I’m sorry for your loss 💜 xx

hi hun, so sorry to hear you had a miscarriage and had to go through that.

I think it is a personal choice to be honest. The guidance is also based on giving you some space to mentally grief before trying again but everyone is different. Might also depend how far along you were when you miscarried and maybe giving yourself a break. They do say women seem to be more fertile directly after so if you are feeling in a good space, I don’t think there is any harm in trying to get pregnant. Especially if you feel chances are low due to your partners sperm count.

Before we had to go IVF due to ectopic pregnancies I fell pregnant straight after an ectopic pregnancy which also ended up an early miscarriage sadly but I don’t think that was because of the loss before. And for us it felt nice to just continue trying and see what happened.

Do what feels right and who knows what can happen. Good luck but do take time to grief though! ❤️

Im so sorry for your loss. I think the advice is to wait for one proper period to allow your body to readjust.
