Princess yes, you have posted here before. You can probably try again as soon as you feel ready. The only reason some doctors tell you to wait a cycle is it can make it difficult to date a pregnancy after a miscarriage as your cycle can be different after one. Sometimes doctors will tell you to wait if you have other underlying health problems that could cause issues if you conceive again, but in most cases you don't need to wait, particularly if the miscarriage was an early one.
One thing though, if you do try straight away as I did, make sure you get a blood test first to make sure your HCG is back to zero. You don't want to go through what I've seen happen a few times on BB where ladies thought they were pregnant again but their HCG levels had not dropped back down yet so it was a disappointing false alarm for them. The time that this takes to happen can vary heaps by a few days to several weeks depending on how far along you were and how high your levels were prior to the m/c. I think that's also part of the reason doctors often ask you to wait for your next AF as you will not ordinarily get another one until after you ovulate and you will only ovulate once your HCG levels have dropped.... that's why some women take lots of weeks after a m/c to get their AF. My AF came 29 days after my last m/c but I was only 5w4d so my HCG was back to zero within a few days so I went straight back to normal. I hope this info helps you.
