How long after a miscarriage can you get pregnant?

Patient's question:

I had a previous baby who had some issues with growth and development, and later I had an abortion. How long after an abortion can I get pregnant again?

Doctor's answer:

Most people can consider getting pregnant again one year after giving birth. Before getting pregnant, it is recommended to undergo a full physical examination, including a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the uterus and its appendages, to understand the complete recovery of the uterus. Additionally, a blood test should be conducted to check for anemia. If the body has fully recovered, it may be possible to get pregnant again. Taking folic acid tablets orally for three months before pregnancy can reduce the incidence of fetal malformations.
