Miscarriage at 8 weeks but no baby on ultrasound

Good morning--
On July 26th, my husband and I found out we were pregnant! From the beginning, it had been a very rocky road. The doctor first believed it was an ectopic pregnancy, then it was not, then my counts were not doubling like they should, then a gestational sac appeared, then last Friday I began spotting. The doctor did not want me to come in for a week, so on Friday I found out I was miscarrying. Deep down, I knew I was and I think finding out this Friday made things a tad easier. I had a week to be at home and realize what was going on with my body before the Doctor told me we were loosing the pregnancy. After going to the doctor and having an ultra sound done, there was still no baby-- just the sac. Obviously, there should have been a baby at 8 weeks and a heartbeat.
I am still upset and heartbroken, but I feel some relief in knowing there was no baby. That I am miscarrying the sac instead of our precious baby. I have prayed and prayed and wondered why and I think knowing a baby had not formed, has made things a tad easier. I guess my issue with writing this post is, my husband and I want to try again, we want a baby so badly. My issue is i am not depressed but hopeful.
Has anyone else felt this way? Did anyone else want to try to have a baby as soon as possible after a miscarriage?
