Hi. Me and my husband have been trying to get pregnant since september. We were successful in January and at 9 weeks I had a miscarrage. I am an athlete and I have really took a step back with working out. I am a vegetarian but eat fish, and I do like to drink wine on occasion usually with dinner. I am getting frustrated with trying every month and learning that I am once again unsuccessful with getting pregnant. So my question is does it take longer to get pregnant after a miscarriage? And do you have any advice on what else I could do.
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion there are good scopes of getting pregnancy. Because you had already got previous pregnancy spontaneously. But the cause for miscarriage should be evaluated and should be prevented from repeating in further pregnancy. The various causes for pregnancy loss in 1st trimester are genetic anomalies, hormonal abnormalities like thyroid abnormalities, progesterone insufficiency, diabetes,any infections, any uterine anomalies etc. The above causes can be ruled out by necessary investigations like thyroid profile, blood sugars, ultrasound etc. Also practicing of intercourse daily increase the conception chances. Avoidance of stress and anxiety regarding pregnancy are most important as they are also one of the causes of infertility. So relax. Hope this helps. Best regards...
