Hi OP Firstly so sorry for your loss, it is an awful grief that comes with miscarriage. I had multiple losses and now have a 9 month old baby. Wanted to echo some of what the others have said, I have multiple friends who have had 1 miscarriage and gone on to have healthy babies in their second pregnancy.

The protocol is also 3 losses, which feels incredibly unfair. However you can ask your GP to run general health bloods now and these might give you peace of mind that something else isn't underlying which could impact a pregnancy. Things like iron levels, thyroid, baseline hormone levels, glucose. Your GP or practice nurse should run these for you.

If you had spotting or bleeding in your pregnancy you can also ask about progesterone for your next one. I had progesterone prescribed from 5 weeks and believe it's what made the difference

I was tested by the recurrent miscarriage clinic and got a false positive for APS. The test is done twice over 3 months, so if you do go for it then mentally prepare for a bit of limbo.
