“Is it harder to get pregnant after a miscarriage?”
I am a 34 year old female. I want to know if it is harder to get pregnant after a miscarriage?

Not in most cases. The most common reason for a miscarriage is a problem with the fetal chromosomes that comes from either the egg or the sperm. This is not a problem with the parents but just that particular pregnancy. There are other problems that cause miscarriage but they are rare.

Not necessarily, it depends on each person’s history. In general, we recommend couples try to conceive as soon as they feel ready to try after a miscarriage as there is evidence that there is a shorter time to conception in couples that try within the first 3 months after a loss compared to those that wait 3-6 months before trying again.
