How to Get Pregnant Fast

It can be a daunting thing to think about getting pregnant after miscarriage because of the fear of a second recurrence. A miscarriage (called a spontaneous abortion by physicians) is the unintentional loss of pregnancy prior to twenty weeks of gestation. Statistics from the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, miscarriages will happen in around 25 percent of all known pregnancies. This rate will most likely be higher in actuality because miscarriages can happen before a woman is even aware she is pregnant.

What causes a woman to miscarry is still not completely clear. In general miscarriages in the first trimester are attributed to the presence of chromosomal abnormalities in the foetus (which are randomly occurring).

The health and well-being of the mother can also play a part. There are a number of medical conditions which may increase the likelihood of miscarriage, such as some autoimmune diseases, untreated diabetes and any structural problems in the uterus (this can inhibit proper implantation of the egg). A woman’s (and prior to conception, a man’s too) lifestyle choices can also affect the likelihood of miscarriage – things like drug abuse or smoking can play their part. Apart from the above mentioned factors, a large number of miscarriages happen when the egg has been improperly implanted into the uterine lining – this can be remedied by knowing the right times each month for intercourse, which we will come to further on in Part 2.
