Understanding Pregnancy After a D&C: What to Expect


Question
I had an ultrasound september 9th and I miscarried, and the baby had already been dead for over 2 weeks. I had a D&C september 17th and another september 25th cause there was left over tissue. I just recently took 2 different pregnancy tests that both showed positive results, but the lines were faint. I'm wondering if the pregnancy is too soon cause my body hasn't had the time to heal, plus I'm a high risk. Should I be concerned?

Answer
Hi Nicole,

It isn't too soon, usually I recommend waiting at least one month before trying again. If your body isn't ready to support another pregnancy, you face an increased risk of experiencing a repeat miscarriage. However you shouldn't worry too much about this as many women become pregnant soon after a miscarriage and have healthy pregnancies. Good luck!
