There is no perfect amount of time to wait before trying to conceive again, but many healthcare providers encourage woman to wait at least a few months to strengthen the chance of a healthy pregnancy. If a woman's body isn't ready to support a pregnancy by the time that she conceives again, she faces an increased risk of experiencing a repeat miscarriage. It takes time for the uterus to recover and for the endometrial lining to become strong and healthy again.
Medically, it is safe to conceive after two or three normal menstrual periods if tests or treatments for the cause of the miscarriage are not being done. Some physicians routinely recommend that couples wait six months to a year before attempting another pregnancy in order to come to terms with their loss, whereas other physicians feel there is no compelling reason to wait so long.
What are the chances of having another miscarriage?
Many couples who experience a miscarriage worry that it will happen again. Fortunately, at least 85% of women who have had one loss will go on to have a successful pregnancy the next time, as will 75% of those who have experienced two or three losses.
When should a specialist be consulted before attempting to conceive again?
Your health care provider can refer you to the appropriate specialist in maternal-fetal medicine, genetics, or reproductive endocrinology who can help you have the best treatment to increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy. You may want to consider seeking help if you:
Have had two or more miscarriages
Are over age 35
Have an illness that may affect your pregnancy (such as diabetes)
Have or had fertility problems

Some women have gotten pregnant soon after a m/c and went on to have a healthy baby. I had a m/c in Dec of 03 and I waited 6 months to get pregnant again. But I think since it is so close it maybe a higher risk of you m/c again. Talk with a doctor as soon as possible. Good luck to you

Yes, and consult your doctor, a miscarriage can be understood by a professional, if you want to kept the baby.
Personally I talked to my parents and that is some what they said.

what do you mean you think you might have gotten pregnant again. you need to wait until you miss your period and have a + pregnancy test to be sure of it. i dont think it would be bad on your body to be pregnant. if you are you need to see your doctor right a way to make sure everything is ok.

I'm sure that you are still grieving for your baby. That may make this pregnancy more difficult for you. However, don't go overboard on the concern. Just relax............ take it easy & don't get yourself stressed out....... that's the best way to ensure the health of your new baby!!!
