Hello,
Thank you for your query.

Three to six months is the usual wait time advised after a miscarriage/D&C, to try for the next pregnancy.
Your body needs time to recover from the recent loss and your hemoglobin levels need to be normal for you to have a healthy pregnancy.
You uterus and hormone levels should normalize as well.
Emotionally, you need to me to heal from the loss as well.

If you are ready to stray trying again, please talk to you OBGYN to give you a quick exam and a blood test to check for normal hemoglobin & iron levels before conceiving.
This is important as normal values are required to have a normal pregnancy.

Take an iron supplement and folic acid supplement everyday till you conceive. Iron for a minimum of 3 months (or as advised by your doctor).

Hope I've helped. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Wish you good health.
