  It is possible to get pregnant within the next menstrual cycle following a miscarriage. This may be too soon for women to fully recover from the effects of the miscarriage. Therefore, doctors often recommend waiting a little while (one month or so) before trying to get pregnant again.

  Women are often told to wait two or three months before trying to become pregnant after a miscarriage. However, there are no known risks to a pregnancy conceived even 1 month after a miscarriage. If you want to wait, you may resume any form of birth control right away.
  
  The emotional reactions women have after a miscarriage will vary. It is not unusual or abnormal to experience significant grief. Taking time to work through your emotions may be one reason to wait a while before trying again to become pregnant. Women should seek support and assistance as needed from their health care providers as well as family and friends.
