>From a medical standpoint, you can try again anytime; there is no
increase in miscarriage rates whether you wait 2 months or 2 years. What is important is that you are psychologically ready to try again -- and only you will know when that is. After my first miscarriage, I was ready right away. After my second, it was almost a year before I felt strong enough mentally to try.

Best of luck to you.
