To Wait or not to Wait

I still haven't gotten my period yet after the m/c, my midwife says she advises waiting 2 cycles before trying to conceive again, although she said it is up to us what we want to do. The only study I can find on it says their is no need to wait and the study showed that conceiving wihin 6 months of a miscarriage gives you better odds to go on and have a healthy pregnancy when you get pregnant again. A friend who also had a m/c at the same time said her doctor said she can try again whenever she wants. It has been 5 weeks since the miscarriage and I am fairly certain I have not ovulated yet, so if we wait 2 cycles that is a long time. Plus our midwife takes off the month of February so in about 4 months we will have to take a month off from trying because we dont want a different midwife, also it is not ideal to have a spring baby because the husband works super long hours in the spring and often 7 days a week. I am not sure if we will try to avoid trying for a spring baby or not this year.  A healthy baby is of course the most important thing, however since we are still young and not too worried yet about not being able to have a baby we can be a little more picky if we want to be. It would be awesome to have a fall baby because the husband has all winter off and gets up super early anyways so would be a lot easier for me with a newborn and being able to take naps

I guess only time will tell how long it will take.
