Generally, we recommend scheduling a follow-up appointment 2-6 weeks after your miscarriage, depending on your individual circumstances. This allows your body time to recover physically whilst ensuring we can monitor your healing properly.

During this appointment, we'll gently check that your body is healing well, discuss any concerns you might have, and talk about your emotional wellbeing. We'll also address questions about when it might be safe to try to conceive again, if that's something you're considering.

However, please don't wait for a scheduled appointment if you experience heavy bleeding, severe pain, fever, or signs of infection. These need immediate attention, and you can always contact us.

There's no rush to think about "next steps" if you're not ready. This appointment is about your healing - both physical and emotional - and we'll move at whatever pace feels right for you.

Your recovery matters, and we're here to support you through every part of this journey.

Sperm health runs deeper than what we see. DNA fragmentation can influence fertility and pregnancy outcomes.

If you're asking yourself this question, please hear us clearly: No. You did not cause your miscarriage.

Not from that workout you did, or the stress you felt, or the moment you lifted something heavy. Not from that glass of wine before you knew you were pregnant, or because you didn't take prenatal vitamins soon enough.

Most miscarriages happen because of random chromosomal abnormalities - nature's way of preventing pregnancies that wouldn't develop healthily. It's biological, not personal.

We know logic doesn't always soothe a grieving heart, but please be gentle with yourself. The guilt you feel is part of grief, but it's not based in truth.

Your body tried. You tried. Sometimes biology makes decisions beyond our control, and that's not a reflection of anything you did wrong.

Whether your loss was early or late, whether others knew about your pregnancy or it was your secret hope, your baby's life mattered. Your grief matters. Your love matters.

If you're lighting a candle tonight, you're not alone. Parents across the globe will be holding space for the children they carry in their hearts instead of their arms.

If this day feels too difficult, that's okay too. Grief has no schedule, and healing has no deadline.

To every parent reading this: your love created life, even if that life was brief. That love doesn't disappear - it transforms, it honours, it remembers.
We're thinking of you today and always.

🎥 Dr Thato Maoto explains

Losing a pregnancy is always painful. But there’s an important medical difference between a single pregnancy loss and recurrent pregnancy loss (two or more consecutive miscarriages).

👉 A single loss is sadly common and often doesn’t mean there’s an underlying condition.
👉 Recurrent loss, however, may signal an underlying fertility or health concern that needs further investigation and care.

At Femicare Fertility, we provide gentle, specialised support and testing to understand the cause and guide you toward the best treatment options. You don’t have to face it alone. 💙

Whether you've experienced early miscarriage, later loss, stillbirth, or the end of an IVF cycle, your grief is valid and your baby mattered.

There's no "right" way to feel, and there's no timeline for healing.

We want you to know that pregnancy loss is sadly common - affecting 1 in 4 pregnancies - and it's never, ever your fault. Sometimes our bodies make difficult decisions for reasons we may never fully understand.

This month, we'll be sharing gentle information and support for anyone walking this path. You are not broken. You are not alone. And your hope for the future, whatever that looks like, is precious.

If you need support, we're here with compassionate care and understanding.
