Hi,
If you have resumed your normal sexual life without any protection and if you have started menstruating, then, yes, you could be pregnant. You should get a pregnancy test immediately and follow it up with a sonogram and contact your doctor for further care. The cause of the fetal demise in your earlier pregnancy should also be evaluated. Meanwhile you may take prenatal vitamins. Good luck.
