This is one question most women around the world would want an answer to.
Most women have received conflicting advise about how long they should wait to conceive after a miscarriage. While some are told to wait three months, others are told to wait for six months while some are asked to wait one full cycle before trying again.
The World Health Organization recommends waiting at least six months after a miscarriage before trying to get pregnant again but other research has found no evidence to support delaying conception.
A study published in the journal BMJ revealed that the sooner a woman conceives again after a miscarriage, the better her chances of having a healthy pregnancy.
The study also revealed that women who conceive within six months after a miscarriage are less likely to miscarry again or experience other pregnancy-related complications when compared with women who wait for longer periods of time.
However in a Telegraph report, Ruth Bender Atik from the Miscarriage Association said:
“There are some situations where it is important or advisable to wait: after treatment with methotrexate (for ectopic pregnancy); after a molar pregnancy; if taking medication for infection; while having investigations for recurrent miscarriage”.
So it’s obvious there isn’t really any set time to try again after miscarriage if the woman has no complications.
So after a little research on women and their experience with miscarriage, I would be safe to say while some women are not willing to have sex for some time after a miscarriage, others crave intimacy with them desiring to have sex with their partner.
So since there isn’t any definite time for trying again after a miscarriage, the decision to wait or not comes down to the woman after seeking advice from a doctor (she won’t be advised to make that decision alone).
