I've had a miscarriage. would like some advice

Hey ladies,

I have a few questions and wonder if anyone can help.

Sadly on 9 May we went to our 12 week scan and we were told that the baby had no heartbeat and had stopped developing at around 8 weeks.

My world broke down around me.

I was told to have a think about what I wanted to do next.

I couldn't get my head around it all, so it wasn't until a week later (I had been trying to ignore it) I stared to bleed very slightly (this would now be 5 weeks since my baby had stopped growing). We went to the hospital as I was in agony and after 6 hours I was sent home as they couldn't operate and told to come back in the morning.

That night I had contractions and the pain increased until I couldn't walk. I was taken into hospital in the morning and they operated immediately. Since then I have not had a period (5 weeks tomorrow since the op).

I want to start trying again but I have nothing to go on, no cycle record that's relevant.

Do you recommend using ovulation tests or should I be waiting for my periods to start?

We have been having sex already if this bad?? Also I have pregnancy vitamins (with folic) left over, are these ok to take or do I need to swap to contraceptive vitamins (with folic)

Any advice welcome.
