Just looking for advice... honesty is welcome!

So I had a miscarriage on October 15th at 9 weeks. Hubby and I waited the 2 weeks before having sex again (so 1 week ago). We aren't trying to have another baby right away, we're just getting back to the way things used to be. We haven't been using condoms because I'm under the impression that I have to get my period again before we can even think about conceiving.

Except that last night I had some super uncomfortable cramping and tonight I have some light pink spotting. I'm nervous because those were both signs from my previous pregnancy before I took the positive test.

Can anyone give me advice regarding the truth about needing to get my period first before conceiving again? Obviously I'd be ecstatic if I am pregnant again, but right now it seems so impossible to me. Thank you in advance!
