I'm new here- recent MC

hello my name is Jessie
I'm new here as you can see. Recently I was informed I had a miscarriage... And this was my first pregnancy. Not the news I was wanting to hear. The last time I had the baby measured it looked only 6 weeks which surprised the doctors because judging by my last period, I was suppose to be a little further along so the doc told me that she cannot verify I was having a "normal pregnancy". They gave me an appointment for two weeks later to check the development. About a week after that appointment I went to the ER because of mild cramps and a little blood that was turning from brown to red. They gave me an ultra sound and the ER doctor told me the embryo is still there but hasn't developed at all since my last visit and he could see clots. They put me on bed rest for a week until my obgyn appointment. From there I bled a lot at home passing clots. At that point I knew what was happening. Yesterday at the appointment they checked and verified that I have lost the embryo but there's still some blood there. I have an appointment in 5 weeks so they can check with another US to see if everything else has passed. It was and still is the worst experience in my life... And I want to get pregnant again ASAP.. I know usually doctors say wait for at least a full cycle until you should start trying again but I looked it up and I didn't find anything that proves getting pregnant right after a mc increases the chance of another one. I just want an opinion from someone with experience. Should I start right away or wait?
Sorry if this is really long, I just wanted to fit everything so someone can understand my situation.. And thank you. No expecting mother should have to go through this ever.

At least I know I'm not the only one going through this... It's tough as as much as I know I should wait but I've seen a lot of success stories on the second time around.

First, I'm very sorry for your loss. We had an early m/c on March 3rd, then got pregnant the next cycle with twins. We were it told to wait as the first loss was so early. Unfortunately we lost both & I had to have a D&C. I've had one doctor tell me to definitely wait and another tell me no one knows. I'm sorry I cannot be of any help but I can tell you that back to back losses are very difficult. Good luck for your rainbow!

I had a my doctor tell me to wait a week, and we were good to go. I had a natural miscarriage and he said I had a couple clots and to just wait a week to start trying again. I think it depends on your doctor and what kind of miscarriage you have. We are trying again, we waited three days but that's my decision to make I couldn't stand to wait a whole week.

Sorry for the losses. And it's been a little crazy for me, I'm stationed overseas in the military so I have make appointments at a foreign hospital. They speak English and are good but I've been having a hard time seeing the same doctor, it's always someone different :-/ and all they did was give me a one month prescription for contraceptive pills. They gave me birth control... And they said I could take it if I chose to. I almost did but after research I did I don't want to be on birth control. I don't know if they do different things over here but I guess it's suppose to help stop the miscarriage bleeding early and help regulate my period. But I don't know... It just seems all up in the air right now.
