Miscarriage Risk: Anyone who has experienced a miscarriage is usually worried about having another. It is an emotional experience. 15-20% of pregnancies will end in miscarriage, depending on your age, so you are far from alone. Fortunately, most women go on to have normal pregnancies after having one. You need to wait the proper amount of time before trying to conceive again--ask you doctor about this.

Take time to prepare: Family or friends will say, "you should try again" and doctors will quote stats. However, a couple must go through a process of grieving for the baby they thought would result and prepare themselves to try again. When they take steps to get healthy, avoid toxins and handle stress, odds of having a successful pregnancy might increase they cannot replace the one lost but can often complete a new one.
