Why might I have trouble getting pregnant after a miscarriage?
After a miscarriage, it can be harder to get pregnant due to shared causes of infertility and miscarriage, or issues like blood clotting problems.

Explanation
Having trouble getting pregnant after a miscarriage can be due to several reasons. Some causes of infertility and miscarriage are shared, meaning the same problem can lead to both. For example, issues with the uterus or hormones may affect both carrying a pregnancy and getting pregnant in the first place.
Another reason may be related to blood clotting problems. These can cause recurrent miscarriages and also make it hard to conceive. If your body forms clots too easily, it can affect the blood flow needed to support a pregnancy.
Research also suggests that while some women may experience a delay in getting pregnant again after a miscarriage, others do not. Factors like age and overall health can play a role. If you are concerned about having trouble getting pregnant, talking to a healthcare provider can help identify any underlying issues.
