No specific time: The physical pain from a stillbirth normally lasts only a few days to weeks after delivery, so i assume you mean the grieving. Everyone mourns differently but many women won't really feel ok until they have successfully delivered a healthy baby. There is no need to wait more than 3 months to try to get pregnant again unless you have other health concerns.

Stillbirth: The pain will probably never go away. It may fade somewhat over time, but you will always feel the emptiness from the loss. The next pregnancy will be high stress even if everything goes according to plan. So my advice would be to wait until emotionally and pschologically you are ready. For some patients this might be a few months, but for most it will be closer to a year.
