How soon can you be pregnant after a miscarriage?

This is hideously embarrassing because I always thought I was smarter than this, but– since May 17th, my body has been going through some whacky changes. I’ve gained weight (about 4kg), my breasts are constantly aching, as well as just about the rest of my body, I have an illness I can’t shake and I’m hideously tired all the time. I wouldn’t worry myself with these things if it wasn’t for the fact that on May 17th, I’m 98% sure I miscarried. I was, in fact, due for my period (about two days late) at the time, and the bleeding was triggered by sex, and then I found the weirdest little blood sac with a small tail after I cleaned myself up. I didn’t know what to think. The bleeding pretty much ceased the next day and now, it has been 32 days since my last proper <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.eve">Eve</a> documented period. I have been very sexually active since.

I’m just putting this out here first because I am deathly afraid of doctors, and seeing a gyno makes my skin freaking crawl, due to past experiences, it’s not something I willing put myself through unless it’s incredibly necessary. At the end of the day, I’m just seeking some kind of advice- maybe shared experiences! I just don’t want to feel like a freak anymore.
