You'll get different answers from different doctors, but generally after an early miscarriage you can start trying to conceive again after one normal period. Sometimes women with PCOS have low progesterone which can cause miscarriage, next time you get pregnant you can request that your doctor check your progesterone level and supplement it if it is low. (Generally, you want your progesterone to be over 20 in pregnancy.) Another simple thing some women do to prevent miscarriage is to take 1 low dose (81 mg) aspirin per day. It is thought to reduce the risk of blood clotting which can cause miscarriage. Also, a lot of women swear that the drug metformin reduces the risk of miscarriage in PCOS, not sure if you are on met, but it also may help you concieve if you aren't already on it. There is testing and treatment for more complicated causes of miscarriage, but generally doctors don't like to do any testing until you have had at least 2 or more miscarriages. Good luck to you, I hope your next pregnancy is a sticky one!
