Afraid of being pregnant again TOO soon despite wanting to try again

So I had a mmc mid-march, miscarriage completed about 3 weeks later. I was told to wait 2-3 months because of the blood loss I suffered.

I continued to bleed for about a week after the miscarriage finally happened and honestly my biggest focus was finally being able to DTD with DH again. I was on pelvic rest throughout most of the pregnancy so it had been a full 2 months and I really missed it for many reasons.

So finally when I stopped bleeding and got the all clear from my OB we DTD on last Wednesday and Friday. Problem is.....I wasn't really paying attention to how long it had been since the onset of my miscarriage as tracking ovulation was the furthest thing from my mind. We want to try again but it's not something that's a focus right now.

On Thursday I felt VERY distinct ovulation and it really surprised me. DH and I didn't use protection because, in my mind at the time, it was so soon after the miscarriage that I didn't think I was close to ovulation. Well, on Saturday it sunk in that I very well could have just ovulated because I was 2 weeks to the day past the miscarriage.

I'm now having MANY of the same symptoms I had back when I got my BFP with my most recent baby, Peyton. I'm really afraid that I am possibly pregnant TOO soon as we were told to wait. Do any of you know what the risks are from becoming pregnant TOO quickly after a miscarriage?? I'm really not in the mood for more trauma/issues that are pregnancy related so soon after losing Peyton.
 
I would think the only risk to you would be due to the blood loss you sustained back in March. I had a D&C for a 14 week miscarriage in July, had one AF, got pg again in August but miscarried a blighted ovum end of Sept/early Oct. I got my bfp for my current pregnancy 5 weeks after that last miscarriage and my former doctor was certain I'd miscarry as I'd gotten pregnant not only once but twice 'too fast'. (We were preventing but obviously it didn't work either time and she didn't believe me.) I did the only sensible thing and switched doctors. My current doctor said I obviously was ready to get pg since my body did just that. He gave me the number for the nurses station direct so I can call anytime I have a question or concern and has done his best to get me in for scans or appts when I've needed reassurance and that's helped me the most. He's been so encouraging and never once said anything negative about my getting pg so fast since he knows we weren't actively ttc. It just happens sometimes. I know there's lots of ladies on here who get pg right after a m/c and go to term.
