trying to get pregnant

about almost 4 years ago i got pregnant at the end of 2006 it ended up in an abortion, then in may 2006 i got pregnant again and that also ended in an abortion that i didn't want.(long story) after that i got on birth control pills then i tryed the depo provera birth control shot and i didn't like that at all. my periods weren't regular after that. then this year in febuary 2010 i found out i was pregnant and immediatly planned on keeping the baby i was about 6 weeks when i found out and i quickly changed my life around for this baby (health wise), i had my first sonogram at 7 weeks then i had a miscarriage in my 9th week. even though i wasn't pregnant for that long i was very excited and very determined to give my baby the best life so when i went through that miscarriage it was one of the worst things my heart has ever experienced. now in november me and my boyfriend of 4 years feel maybe its time to try again, but i was scared and wasn't sure if this pregnancy would succeed. what is everyones thoughts?

Here is a new pregnancy study that I recently read that may help you:

New Pregnancy Study
Research Briefs from The Parent Review
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.
