I have had four misscarriages in a row. My doctors did not tell me to wait before trying again; thus all the misscarriages. I went to see a fertility specialist in New Orleans and was told, like you, to wait between three to six months to try again. He said the LH hormone (which is the hormone that tells the egg when to release) gets confused and the eggs go crazy resulting in the misscarriages. (Of course all of this is in lay man's terms)

After following his advice I am now four months pregnant. My doctor is watching me close and the baby is strong doing fine. I wish you the best.
