Had a miscarrage 2 weeks ago, how long do I have to wait before I start trying to become pregnant again... I can still see a little bit of dark brown when I wipe.. is it safe to start having sex again or should I wait for another few weeks.

Did you go to the doctor when you had this miscarriage, is that how you knew you were miscarrying? The best advice you can get on this subject is from your doctor. You'll need to be sure that everything has completely passed, and there is nothing left over inside, as this can bring on infection. I think the basic consensus is that (if everything checks out ok) you can start having sex once all the bleeding has stopped and all has passed, however you should use condoms for two months (two normal periods) before trying to conceive again. However, doctors will all have their own opinions on how soon, for sex/conception, depending a lot on your medical history and current status, etc. so your doctor is the best person to consult.

Yes I was told 3 months, but some doctors say wait a month. You need to give your body time to heal reagardless... it was no simple thing that just happened.
