How long should the interval be after a natural miscarriage before trying for a baby?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. How long should I wait after a natural miscarriage before trying to get pregnant again?

Doctor's answer:

Early embryonic arrest or miscarriage is often due to problems with the chromosomes themselves. Therefore, in addition to general physical examinations before pregnancy, blood and urine tests, hepatitis B surface antigen, and tests for some special pathogens such as rubella virus and toxoplasma should also be conducted. If possible, chromosome testing should be performed to avoid hereditary diseases. If a man is exposed to radiation, chemicals, pesticides, or high-temperature work, which may affect reproductive cells, a semen analysis should be done. After an induced abortion, pregnancy should be attempted when both physical and mental health are in a relatively better state, generally about half a year later.
