Yes: The risk is minimum and if you keep appt with your doc, you should be fine. It is really worth trying again. Dont gave up:).

Unfortunately yes...: Remember nothing is impossible, but once your OB has ruled out causes that may develop with future pregnancies; try again with careful obstetric care. See a perinatologist if your OB can't address all of your concerns. Stay healthy & follow the guidelines and testing they recommend before and after you conceive. Best wishes to you & i hope you do try again.

Stillbirth: The cause of the first stillbirth would help determine your recurrence risk. In general, there is a 3 - 5% risk of recurrence. Older women however have a greater chance of stillbirth. A consultation with an maternal fetal medicine specialist may help you estimate your recurrence risk and plan your next pregnancy.
