Dr. David Keefe Contributes to TIME Magazine Article About Pregnancy After Miscarriage
August 06, 2010
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists currently has no recommendations for when to conceive after miscarriage, but many obstetricians say they allow women to dictate when they feel ready to start trying again - which in most cases is sooner rather than later. "The guidelines have told us to wait six months, and sometimes even two years. So our heads told us to wait," says Keefe. "But our hearts always told us to get right back in the game." The new data support that instinct, he says, and may help more doctors and hopeful parents feel comfortable about following up a failed pregnancy with another one as soon as possible.
