Check with you doctor; if he says it's OK to start trying again, then go for it. Make sure of what caused your last miscarriage; your doctor should be able to answer your questions.

your health after miscarriage
HCG Levels
Most women can expect their levels to return to a non-pregnant range about 4 - 6 weeks after a pregnancy loss has occurred. This can differentiate by how the loss occurred (spontaneous miscarriage, D&C procedure, abortion, natural delivery), and how high the levels were at the time of the loss.
Health care providers usually will continue to test HCG levels after a pregnancy loss to ensure they return back to 5.0.
tiredness
It is normal to feel emotionally and physically drained following a miscarriage. If possible take a few days off work, and if you can't, make sure you get to bed early, plan rests where possible and postpone anything that isn't urgent.
Make yourself your first priority.
bleeding
If your miscarriage is complete, you can expect your bleeding to taper off rapidly, i.e. over the next week it should get lighter and lighter and stop. All bleeding and spotting should have stopped by seven days. If it persists or is heavier than a normal period, this indicates something is wrong, see your doctor. While you are still bleeding it is important that you shower, not bath, and that you do not swim in public pools because of the risk of contracting an infection.
pain
When the miscarriage is complete, or after a D&C all pain should cease. Again, see your doctor if you have continuing pain.
temperature
Temperature indicates infection which can result in infertility. If you have one see your doctor urgently. You will be treated with antibiotics and possibly a D&C (or repeat D&C).
discharge
If you are having an offensive discharge this could also indicate infection so get checked out.
lactation
This is normal if the pregnancy has lasted longer than 12 weeks and will stop by itself.
menstrual cycle
Ovulation can occur 14 days after a miscarriage with the next period 28 days after the miscarriage, but there is great personal variation. It may take a few cycles before your regular pattern is re-established. This means that you can become pregnant 14 days after a miscarriage if you resume a normal cycle immediately, but there is a great personal variation. It can take up to 6 or 7 weeks for your next period to come if you had "natural" miscarriage (i.e. no D&C or tablets).
sex
Sexual intercourse should be avoided until bleeding has stopped to prevent the risk of infection. Even though your cervix will be closed again, sperm can travel up through it and introduce infection into the uterus, which is still healing.
contraception
If you do not wish to become pregnant immediately, you should start using contraception straight after the miscarriage. Note: The pill should be commenced at the time of the miscarriage. You will not be safe until you have taken the tablets for 14 days.
the physical symptoms of grief
Many women find they experience physical symptoms of grief as well as the emotional aspects. These vary greatly from person to person, and include:
disturbed sleep and eating patterns
unexplainable tiredness
unexpected tears
disturbing dreams and mental confusion
Be gentle and patient with yourself during this time and take comfort in knowing that these symptoms are normal.
You can become pregnant again very soon after having a miscarriage.

I think most doctors advise to have two or three periods before trying again...at least my doctor did. Not that it will increase your chances of having another miscarriage if you don't, but I think they want to see that you can have a regular cycle for a while after your first miscarriage.
Having had two miscarriages myself, my heart goes out to you. Good luck and I hope things work out the way you want them to.

I understand your pain, and want for you to take your time and wait a while. Its so your mind and body can be ready for a second pregnancy. Dependant upon how long ago you had a miscarriage you may have to wait longer. Do you know why you miscarried? Would it have permitted you from subsequent prenancies?
Does that help you?

i know how you feel its best to want about 3 months before trying again your your body needs the time to cope and if you get pregnant sooner your changes of miscarrying again are higher and the longer you wait the less of a change of another miscarry

How long ago did you have it? You need to have two periods before trying again. This gives your body time to heal.

there is no way to avoid a miscarrige, that is true. But if you get pregnant a second time (like normal) everything could be ok this time.
