It has been over 2 years since I had a chemical and we were not trying back then anyway. Heck, back then we were not even boyfriend/Girlfriend just hanging out. Look at us now, he got smart and married me 
My pregnancy tests started getting lighter over the weekend and I started to bleed yesterday. So yesterday is CD1, correct? Will this month be a regular cycle or can I expect it to be out of wack like after my losses? Will I O around the same time or not at all?
Sorry for so many questions, you would think with 2 years in here I would know all the answers by now!
Thanks

With my chemicals, it was just like a regular period, maybe just a day or 2 longer. Things usually go right back to normal, and I've always been more fertile after each chemical and got pg again the next month.

I am happy to see you are not leaving us and will continue to ttc ! I don't really have any advice bc I haven't experienced a chemical pregnancy however I am sure it is possible you might ovulate a little later than normal.

Missy, I am so sorry you are going through this. Although the questions you are asking are some of the same questions I have been having. I don't know if my loss this month was a chemical or blighted ovum. All what I know is my hcg never went above 285 and before Christmas it was back down to 0.

I would count as day 1, AF was heavier for me and I had clots that I don't usually have. I did get pregnant the cycle immediately after too. I want tracking my o day at that time so I'm not sure of that was off.

He hasn't totally agreed to TTC again... Just NTNP. However if I keep my obsessing to myself (and you girls) he won't mind if we get pregnant and have a baby

LOL. He obviously prefers to have you handle it...which we all KNOW you can do 
With my chemicals (three), I counted the first day of bleeding as day 1, whenever that was. And then I O'ed on days 16-18, even though I usually do on day 14. I was not sure if that was to do with the miscarriage/D/C right before those chemicals or if that was to do with the chemical itself. I have concluded it was the chemicals, since I have not been pregnant the past two months and have O'ed on day 14 each time.
Oh, I am also very glad you are still hanging here with us. I always look forward to stalking your TWWs.

MISSY!!!! YAY! I'm so glad your going to continue on. I WILL be cheering you on with your BFP I just know it. With my chemicals my AF was a little bit heavier but I O'd around the same time and had a pretty normal cycle. Hoping that's the case for you!

Hey. It really warms my heart that you are going to continue to ttc/ntnp
I was honestly thinking in my head before reading all of what u wrote is I hope she will still try, not give up and that your next pregnancy is a sticky one. I had a chemical nov 16th. then my af came right on time in dec. and then i decided to use an opk and i O'd my normal cd 13.
also Ive been wanting to tell you since I saw one of your post on the aip board that I LOVE your siggy!!! I hope your cycles stay fertile so that you know what is going on @ all times.

With my miscarriage in October, I knew my beta levels were going down even before the actual miscarriage bleeding started. Even though I knew I was going to miscarry (based on my beta results) on October 7th, and I spotted a little the night of the 8th, I didn't start obvious bleeding (with clots) until the 9th, so I counted the 9th as CD 1 and the day of my miscarriage. Except for the first day, the bleeding wasn't any heavier than my normal AF.
I'm also glad you (or, more specifically, your dh) have not given up trying again in the future.

I don't have any experience with a chemical, but I just wanted to say I'm so happy you're staying! It's un-selfish gals like you that help us in our time of need and keep everyone sane.

Hey Missy...hope you don't mind me stalking you. With my 2 chemicals I counted the day I started to bleed as CD1 and yes it was like a regular cycle. But I never O'd on cd14, it was usually more around cd9-cd10.
Good luck. I really really hope that next time will be it!!!!

Ok girlie...this is what happened with my chemical. I got those nice but faint bfp's at 10 dpo. Then a week later I took a test and it was much more faint than my original bfp. (Back then I wasn't a poas addict...) A day later I started to bleed. I counted that as cd 1. I tracked myself and I geared up to ovulate, but never did. That cyle was the same as most of my cycles and I started the next cycle 28 days later...right on track. That next month I got pregnant....just saying. Glad to see my happy postive sweet Missy back. Love you....
