Q: I am 33 years old and my wife is 30 years. We have a 5 years old daughter. My wife was pregnant but last month she had a miscarriage and finally a D&C was done the same day. She wants to become pregnant again next month. Should she become pregnant so soon after a D&C. Please advise if we should we wait for some time or go ahead. If we need to wait; how long should it be?

A:Ideally speaking, you should wait atleast 3 months for any infections to ease out if they were the cause of her last miscarriage.
