Hi ladies. I'm so confused and not sure where to turn except for people who've been there before. I miscarried two weeks ago tomorrow (Oct. 25). Everything with the m/c went normal (if you can call any m/c normal). I stopped bleeding within a week, and my levels were down to 36 in a week, which I know means they were zero shortly after because I took a HPT the next day and nothing came up. (I have a blood test just to verify tomorrow) Anyway...10-11 days past the start of my miscarriage I had A LOT of EWCM and it lasted until yesterday which made it about 3 days. I also have had positive OPK's for the past 3 days as well, however they are internet cheapies and I'm not sure I can trust them. I guess what it boils down to is I was wondering if I'm really O'ing or if my body is just playing some mean tricks on me. I've read so much about people getting pregnant within two weeks of a miscarriage and obviously I would so like to be one of them. (We were given no restrictions on trying again right away.) I know there is obviously no way of someone telling you for sure, but it would be helpful to hear some of your own personal experiences with this. My husband and I have been BD'ing since my EWCM showed up. We will do so again for another day or two and then just do it every other day for the rest of my cycle to try to cover all of our bases in case my body is playing tricks on me and I O later.

Sorry for the long post. I'm just driving myself CRAZY! Thanks for any input.

Sorry about your loss but welcome. It's totally normal to O a few weeks after your levels are negative. I O'd 2 weeks after my test was negative (used OPKs) but didn't end up pg that cycle. It sounds really promising. I hope you catch that eggie on the first try.

I had a d&c and ovulated two weeks after the procedure. It sure sounds like you O'd! I too hope you catch that eggie!

I also O'ed after my miscarriage, although it was a few days later than normal for me (I chart), and I had tons of EWCM as well. Your m/c sounds very similar to mine as far as the bleeding and beta levels go. Hopefully you will catch the eggy!!

Thanks for your replies everyone. I didn't think I was completely crazy. :0) It just seemed weird to me to O within a week of the bleeding stopping. I guess it's not so abnormal though. I'm trying SOOOO hard not to get my hopes up, but it's so hard, as I'm sure you all know. Another reason why it's hard is because we were extremely blessed with getting pregnant on both tries the first time. I'm just praying that it's this way again.

Any other input I would be happy to hear. I'll keep everyone updated.... I love this board. All the other ones that I've been on on other sites that aren't specifically for our situations just seem so out of tune and not really knowing what is going on. This is really great.
