Can A Single Miscarriage Event Affect The Chances Of Future Conception?

Posted on Wed, 10 May 2017

Question: I had a miscarriage 10 days ago, I had an ultrasound scan and they say everything is clear but I have a retroverted uterus. It has always been normal up until getting pregnant. I lost the baby 7 weeks pregnant.
Can my uterus go back to normal given a bit longer after delayed miscarriage or will this cause problems in getting pregnant in the future. If I have conceived naturally before do I need to be worried about fertility and what are the chances of miscarriage happening again.

How long do I have to wait to have intercourse after my miscarriage

Brief Answer:
Miscarriage do not affects future fertility

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Retroverted uterus is normal in many females and it is not at all the cause of miscarriage.
Miscarriage do not affects the future fertility and there is no decreased in the chances of future conception.
The chances of spontaneous miscarriage are not increased after a single miscarriage event.
You can have intercourse 2 weeks after miscarriage and pregnancy should be planned at least 6 weeks after miscarriage.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Nothing to worry

Hi dear,
Inofolic is a combination of folic acid and myoinositol. It is safe and myoinositol increases the chances of conception.
No, retroverted uterus do not cause any problem in conception.
Sometimes, after pregnancy the position changes and it corrects with time.
There is nothing to worry.
