Couple that I can think of: you may still have some HCG on board which could interfere with follicle development and your endometrium may not develop properly.

Maybe Dr Lovely, our resident RE fellow, will see this post and give us her expert opinion.

Older studies have also shown a higher miscarriage rate with conceptions soon after a miscarriage, but more recent studies have not shown any increase in miscarriages regardless of when the next pregnancy occurs.
