Hi can anyone help me with some advice. I fell pregnant in feb this year but unfortunately in march I suffered a miscarriage. My gyna then put me back on to the pill to protect me long enough to give time to heal. He said I should take 3 months off from trying to have another baby which I did. I stop taking the pill a little more than a month ago. Have been trying since then. Anybody have some advice for me?

It sounds simple, but just keep trying. Most couples will become pregnant within the first year of trying. If you were trying before, do the same... pay attention to changes you might notice around the time of ovulation, or try to have sex every other day or so throughout each cycle, with maybe a few more tries when you think you are most fertile.
Be sure to take care of yourself... partner as well, eating well, being aware of lifestyle choices that can be harmful, taking a prenatal or multivitamin, etc..
Try not to let sex become a chore that is so choreographed according to the date on the calendar. Keep it fun and enjoy some spontaneity too.

It also takes a bit for your body to recover from taking the pill. Usually the doctors will tell you it takes about 1 to 2 months for your body to be in full pregnancy mode.
Ovulation kits are very handy as well. They can show you your 2 most fertile days to conceive. Doesn't mean you can't get pregnant any other day too though. Just have fun with it and stay relaxed.
