Here is a great study that was done:

No wait needed for pregnancy after miscarriage


For the best pregnancy outcomes, when should a woman try to conceive again after a miscarriage? The sooner the better, a new study suggests. Scottish researchers looked at data for nearly 31,000 women who became pregnant after an initial miscarriage. Compared to women who conceived 6 to 12 months after their miscarriage, those who became pregnant again within 6 months were 34% less likely to miscarry a second time. They were also less likely to have an ectopic pregnancy, a cesarean or preterm delivery, or a low-birth-weight infant. The highest risks of a second miscarriage and other pregnancy complications were seen among women who conceived more than 24 months after miscarriage. The findings run contrary to current guidelines by the World Health Organization to wait at least half a year to conceive after having a miscarriage, which affects approximately one in five pregnancies.

I got pregnant 1 months after my d&c and we are healthy in our 24th week of pregnancy.

I think it depends on how you feel emotionaly about it, i would also wait for at least 1 cycles so that it is easier for your doc to calculate dates once you do fall pregnant.

My doctor encouraged us to start trying staright away after our d&c...

Was it a natural miscarriage, or d&c. If it was natural, it's fine. A d&c though, you should wait at least 1-3 cycles to allow your uterus time to heal.
