hey all , when one suffers a miscarriage how long does it take generally for the body to go back to its pre-pregnancy state. also how does it effect the body.
I have many family members who are doctors but i dont feel comfortable discussing such things with them.
Re: Losing a baby
When I had a miscarriage, my doctor said I could try to get pregnant again in 6 months, but she said better to wait a year. I guess it depends on your personal health, at what stage you had the miscarriage, etc.
Re: Losing a baby
Niksik, thats a long time! When i had my miscarriage, my doc said we could start trying right away but it was better to wait atleast 3 cycles to make sure the hcg was out of my system. I have read about several people online who tried and got pregnant the very next cycle and were able to carry to term successfully.
Mehreen i am so sorry for your loss! I am not sure what info exactly are you looking for but i remember in my case, i felt very weak for about a month after. I would get tired after working in the kitchen for just 15 mins. Luckily my Ammi was able to come and stay with me for a week to help out and hubby was also patient with me, Alhamdulillah. The cycles can be screwy for a while though, i think my doc said it takes upto 6 months for the cycles to regulate.
Re: Losing a baby
I think I was asked to wait that long because I had become pregnant right after I delivered my first baby. I had hardly recovered then and here I was pregnant again...but miscarried after 3 months. They had to perform a D&C. Maybe that's why?
I had my second daughter 3 years later. Alhamdulilah. A very smooth pregnancy.

I was one of them. But keep this in mind that my miscarriage was spontaneous and no D&C was needed.
Re: Losing a baby
i guess there isnt any exact answer to it...it depends on your health, age and on the time when u had lost your baby (means, 1st/2nd /3rd trimester)i had D&C done but was not asked to wait Only if I am comfortable to try again... i did after my 2 cycles and had very smooth pregnancy Alhumdollilah
Re: Losing a baby
I think it affects everyone in different ways...
You have to consider the physical recovery as well as the mental/psychological recovery....
Personally for me it took about 4-5 years to recover physically from my last miscarriage...and psychologically/mentally I still don't feel over it, and at the end of May it'll be 6 years since the last miscarriage where Pregnancy was confirmed..
May Allah SWT protect us all and grant us all naik children with long lifes...ameen
Re: Losing a baby
i fell pregnant by accident but was very exited but then miscarried . it took me three months to recover i became anemic and generally sore. i was in the second trimester . Its been five months and i dont intend to try for a baby for another year as emotionally i felt and still feel drained. i dont think i have the emotional strength to deal with it. The problem i am having is that my monthly cycle has become so so painful that i dread having it .
did anyone have terrible pain during there period after the miscarriage and fater how long did it settle

The first few months after the miscarriage I had heavy bleeding but the pain wasn't bad. After a few months though although I didn't have pain EVERY month, some months it was excruciating and I even had to take days off work as the pain was intolerable and the bleeding was so heavy.
I was always told though that it was a sign that my body was working properly as the uterus contracts during your period
HTH's?
