I've always been told to wait approximately three months to start trying again. Is this your first pregnancy? I'm not saying a miscarriage is for the best but with my second child I started bleeding heavily around 10 weeks. I did the bedrest thing for a week and all seemed fine. At 20 weeks I found out he had severe birth defects. The doctors told me that in some pregnancies that end in early miscarriage the odds are good that the reason is a birth defect. Their presumption was that my body tried to abort early on but wasn't successful (because he was a tough little boy I always say).

Let your body rest a few months and let nature (and sex life) take it's course. I would also consult with an obgyn. They not only deal with pregnant women but women who are trying to concieve as well. They will help you prepare your body for an up-coming pregnancy such as folic acid, pre-natal vitamins (always good when planning a pregnancy), general health (i found out I had no immunity for german measles while pregnant and couldn't be near anyone who had so much as the chicken pox) plus they can help you predict ovulation schedules and advise you on when the best time to have sex would be and how often you shouod have sex. Best of luck and keep us informed. I look forward to hearing your wonderful news.

But take it from a mother of three... Cherish your non-mother time. Once a mother; always a mother. The job never ends. Best of luck!!!
