After a miscarriage, when can I start herbal medicine?

We start after the bleeding has lessened. It is safest after obstetrics has confirmed there is no retained tissue.

My period has not come back.

It usually returns within four to eight weeks. Later than that and we check the hormonal side.

When can I start preparing for the next pregnancy?

We judge together with the obstetric findings. We do not set the timing on our judgement alone.

I have had two or more miscarriages.

Recurrent miscarriage means investigation of the cause comes first. We approach it as going together with the testing.

I had surgery for a missed miscarriage — do I need recovery care?

We regard it as similar to after childbirth. A recovery period is needed.

Since the miscarriage my mood has stayed low.

This is a common reaction. You do not have to get through it alone.

How long do I need to take herbal medicine?

It differs by your state of recovery. We usually start with two to four weeks and see the course.
