When is the Best Time for Pregnancy After Miscarriage?

Before attempting to conceive after a miscarriage, it is recommended to wait for at least one menstrual cycle for the body to heal and return to normalcy. 

Physical recovery from miscarriage in most cases will take only a few hours to a couple of days. Your periods will likely return within four to six weeks, and it's possible to become pregnant during the menstrual cycle immediately after a miscarriage.

Keep in mind, however, that miscarriage can cause intense feelings of loss. You and your partner might also experience a wide range of emotions, such as anger, sadness or guilt. Don't rush the grieving process.
