I´m 40 years old and started miscarrying (my first one) my second pregnancy (I have a 2 year old son - normal pregnancy) about 10 days ago. I'm still bleeding but had a scan today and they told me I've expelled everything and the bleeding should start to taper off soon.
I was advised to wait 2 periods before we try to get pregnant again. (I live in Spain and I expected a conservation recommendation. I've read that there doesn't seem to really be any physical reason to wait. I have read that one important reason to wait is based mainly on the emotional effects of miscarriage. Emotionally I feel okay and accept what's happened as quite natural, though of course we are both disappointed.
I would like to start trying again as soon as I stop bleeding. Would there be any risks to a potential pregnancy in doing this? I would greatly appreciate any comments, experiences or advice out there.
Thanks very much.
