I am so so sorry for your loss. I lost my little one on Thursday as well, and know exactly what you mean about feeling empty. Everyone here is very understanding and knows how difficult this experience is. I will be keeping you in my prayers.
As far as your question, I will tell you right now that there is no definitive answer. After my first m/c, the "physician's assistant" said we should wait two cycles before we started TTC again. After my second m/c, I went to the same office, but I saw an actual OB this time, and she said there is absolutely no physical reason to wait. She said what they mean by 'two months' is that you shouldn't consider the first two cycles as actively trying, because your cycle might not be back to normal yet. But she told me there is absolutely no higher risk of having problems in a subsequent pregnancy if you DO conceive before getting another period. She said the typical recommendations to wait a cycle stem from times when they used the date of your period to determine the gestational age. Now, ultrasounds are far more accurate at determining that anyway. But like I said, there are still people who would say to wait a cycle, some say two, some even say three. For the most part, all the research I've done (and trust me, that's a LOT) has said that trying again right away is fine.
All that being said, I believe you should only start trying again when you are emotionally ready. That is the biggest issue in your decision. I know for me, it feels like I will only feel less empty when I get pregnant again, as scary as it will be. So sorry again that you are going through this. Praying that you will have a healthy little baby very soon.
