HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Fetal hydrops can be caused by fetal anemia in some cases, this may have been the cause for you and your wife.
If she is still having regular normal periods then it is possible that she should be able to conceive but you should consider waiting only 6 months of trying naturally.
If this does not occur, then the assistance of a fertility specialist may be needed.
I hope this helps
