Qs about ovulating after M/C..

SkyBaby · #1 September 23rd, 2009, 07:49 AM

I just tested. Looks bfn. I tested with fmu on a frer. That's what I get for being impatient. AF is due this saturday. I'm testing then if the witch doesn't sign up. If I Od only a couple days after my latest AF, I would have gotten a BFP by now or just missed the egg

. Assuming I Od 10 days ago, it's too early to know huh? I had no idea when I Od when I got pregnant the first time. I checked my CM from time to time but I didn't really get much ewcm at any point in my cycle. I don't know what that means. Is it possible not to ovulate at all for the first cycle or two after a m/c? I think I tested too early. I'm going hold off on testing again if AF is late. If I'm not pregnant, I'd rather af show up now rather than later.

Sorry for your loss (((HUGS))))

It is possible to have one or two anovluatory cycles after m/c from what I've read. Are you charting your temps at all? I think that's the only way you would know if and when you O'd.

Sorry for your loss hun. Yes it is possible to not O after a m/c. If you think that is the case you might want to make an appt with the doctor and see if they could draw some blood to see if you did O

I haven't been charting my temps. What kind of change would I be looking for if I did start charting? I'm very confused on charting on FF. I'll start charting next cycle then if I'm not pregnant and see what I get. Thanks for the advice!

I hope I did O. I will just wait and see if AF comes this cycle and next cycle start charting my temps. Thanks for the advice!

I agree with what everyone else has said. I wasn't charting after my first m/c this year, but I believe they were annovulatory. I finally started charting and loved it. I am just now going through another m/c and I've started my temping again to see what's going on with my body. You'll look for a temp shift. When I temp I usually have a temp dip and then it rises. The dip is normally when I O. The tutorials can explain it better than I can. The FF tutorials are great and it also helped me to stalk other people to see what their temps looked like pre/post O. It's really a wonderful tool. Good luck!

I will start temping next cycle then and see where that gets me. In the mean time, I'm just gonna sit around and wait for this cycle to finish, assuming I'm not pregnant. It's probably just too early to tell though.

I really hope it is 'just' too early, hon! I know you're not feeling very hopeful about this cycle, but I wanted to shower you with baby cooties anyway

Thank you so much. You're right.. I'm not real hopeful this cycle. I'm going to start temping next cycle if I'm not pregnant so I can see if/when I O.

SkyBaby anything is possible, it could be that you just O'd later than you think because the cycles after a mc can be rather wacky and not the same length each month or as they were prior to... hang in there and I'd wait several days before trying to test again. (I'm one to talk tho as I have definitly POAS toooooo early too!!!)

FF says even 12dpo is even too early as the vast majority of women do NOT get a positive until the day of or after af is due... so hang in there, all hope is not lost until the

flies

As previous posters mentioned, FF has good tutorials but it's really pretty simple. Just take your temp with a Basal Body Thermometer at the same time every morning as soon as you wake up and input the data into FF. When the program sees an increase of about 0.2-0.5 degrees for three days in a row, it will draw a line on your chart showing the day you ovulated. There's a bit more to it than that, but that's the quick and dirty explanation.

You can click on my chart ticker in my signature to look at my chart and see what I'm talking about. I am also in the first cycle after m/c and I didn't ovulate until LATE but you can see by the red lines when it was.

I hope you get your

though, and don't need this information! I hope we both get BFPs this cycle!!

I hope so. I'm going to pretty much be dragging DH to the bedroom every evening until either the witch shows or I get that

.

I'm going to wait until after AF is due to test again. DH is trying to talk me into waiting a whole week, but I don't know if I have that kind of control in me since I have already waited 2 weeks.

I'll start on the tutorials in a little bit when I'm done with house work. I hope I will O if I haven't already.

My boobs hurt and I have head aches and I've got some mild AF like cramps. That's unusual. Maybe this is it for both of us!! Thanks for the advice!
