Lori,

That's good news. Actually you know you can be pregnant easily. That's the only point you have to remember. Miscarriage is very frequent, very frequent. I understand you are upset, but the main point is there: you are fertile, and your husband too. Every woman in her life has at least one miscarriage, known or unknown, and there are still pregnancies and births, aren't there? There is no need to wait before trying to get pregnant again as soon as you want to.
