If miscarriage occurs due to any reason during pregnancy, then this situation completely shakes any woman at both physical and mental levels. Women become emotionally devastated when such a sudden tragic turn occurs after the joy of pregnancy. Along with recovering from this pain, many serious questions about the future also arise in her mind – like will she ever be able to become a mother again? Will it be possible to conceive naturally in the future or will we have to resort to expensive medicines and doctors for this? Among these questions, there is also a belief that does the fertility of women suddenly increase after miscarriage?
Senior Consultant Gynecologist Dr. Divya Goswami (Kailash Hospital, Dehradun) has spoken in detail to share accurate, scientific information on this very sensitive and important topic. Let us know through experts how much truth is there in this claim.
Does fertility really increase after miscarriage?
Dr. Divya Goswami tells that in OPD, patients often ask us this question whether the ability to conceive increases after miscarriage. There is a lot of confusion and old misconceptions spread in the society regarding this subject, hence it is very important to know its true medical truth. According to medical science, the fertility of the body never increases automatically after miscarriage. However, this does not at all mean that your chances of conceiving again in the future are reduced.
If a woman’s miscarriage occurs in the early weeks of pregnancy (first trimester) and there is no serious chronic disease behind it, then the fertility of most women remains completely normal. In many cases, after recovery, the woman’s body starts ovulation (the process of producing eggs) again within a few weeks (about 2 to 4 weeks), making pregnancy possible again very soon. This is the main reason why people often get the misconception that fertility has suddenly increased after a miscarriage, whereas in reality the woman’s body is simply returning to its normal and natural reproductive process.
Know the main reasons for miscarriage
According to experts, it is also very important to understand that every woman’s body structure and the reason for miscarriage can be completely different. Generally these are the main reasons behind abortion:
-
Chromosomal Abnormalities: Disturbances in chromosomes occur during fetal development, which is a natural process.
-
hormonal imbalance: Sudden decrease in the level of hormones (such as progesterone) that support pregnancy in the body.
-
Thyroid and Diabetes: Uncontrolled thyroid gland or increased sugar level.
-
Position of the uterus: Any congenital defect in the structure of the uterus or problems like fibroids.
Since there can be so many medical reasons behind it, no general or final conclusion can be drawn about a woman’s fertility just by looking at one miscarriage.
Take special care of these things before conceiving again
Dr. Divya Goswami advises that after a miscarriage, any woman should give her body and mind enough time to fully recover before planning pregnancy again. For this it is important to follow these things:
-
Physical and mental rest: Mere physical healing of wounds is not enough, the woman needs full emotional support of the family to come out of mental stress and sorrow.
-
Balanced and nutritious diet: To overcome weakness and anemia in the body, take a diet rich in protein, iron and folic acid.
-
Planning under doctor’s supervision: Before doing family planning again, get a routine checkup done from your gynecologist.
If a woman is facing the problem of recurrent miscarriage or is facing difficulty in conceiving again even after trying for a long time, then without any delay, she should consult a fertility specialist and get the real reasons thoroughly investigated.
In short, the claim of sudden increase in fertility after miscarriage is not completely medically correct. But the good thing is that with proper care at the right time, excellent health management and the right advice from the doctor, most women can still have a very successful, safe and healthy pregnancy.
