Yes, you are, wait for one normal menstrual cycle and menses, then start trying again.

Hello,

Yes, there are some studies that reveal an increased risk for miscarriage if you get pregnant within 3 months of a previous miscarriage. Obviously, this does not always happen, but it is the reason we recommend waiting 3 months to get pregnant after a miscarriage.
I hope that this helps.
