Q&A: I recently had a miscarriage, but want to start exercising again.

by Dr. Gerard M. DiLeo

I just had a miscarriage after eight weeks of pregnancy. I was active before and during my pregancy. How long should I wait before I can resume exercising? Also, how long a lapse do you recommend before trying to conceive again?

I think two weeks is all you need to wait before starting to exercise again. For conceiving attempts, in my practice I recommend that my patients wait at least three cycles, just to get them established.
