You should wait for the amount of time your doctor prescribed, DEFINITELY. The reason is that the pregnancy hormone, HCG, is the same hormone that is elevated in molar pregnancy. If you get pregnant too soon, then the doctors cannot follow your molar pregnancy to make sure you are out of the woods.

You should be taking a multivitamin with folic acid.

There is no need for fertility medications.

I am sure you will have a family soon!
