How long should I wait after a first-trimester miscarriage and what tests are needed before trying again?Miscarriage
3 months ago
I had a miscarriage in my first trimester two months ago. Since then, I have been feeling weak both physically and emotionally. How long should I wait before trying to conceive again, and are there any special tests I should undergo before planning the next pregnancy?

After a miscarriage, both the body and mind need time to heal. Physically, most women can start trying again after one or two normal menstrual cycles, but emotionally it is important to wait until you feel ready. Doctors usually say that there is no harm in trying again sooner if you are well recovered, but many couples prefer to wait at least three months for peace of mind. In most cases, no special tests are needed after a single miscarriage, as it is often a one-time event.
If you want reassurance, you can get basic blood tests for thyroid, blood sugar, and hemoglobin, since these can affect pregnancy. A checkup with your doctor before planning again will help you feel more confident and supported.
