Possibly: Typically after a misscarraige the body takes some time to recover. Most docs recommend waiting at least three months before attempting pregnancy again. It appears that you desire pregnancy so in that even is suggest you take a home pregnancy test. It may be positive this early. If negative wait and repeat after you miss your normal cycle. If you continue to spot, see your gyn for evaluation.
