Here is from the National Institutes for Health:

"After treatment, serum hCG levels will be followed. It is important to avoid pregnancy and to use a reliable contraceptive for 6 - 12 months after treatment for a molar pregnancy. This allows for accurate testing to be sure that the abnormal tissue does not return. Women who get pregnant too soon after a molar pregnancy have a greater risk of having another one."

I'd be worried about getting pregnant if the molar pregnancy was less than a year ago.  There are medical reasons (having to do with cancer, I think) not to try until a year has gone by.
