Charting after MC?

Did any of you ladies chart the first cycle after a miscarriage? I am so frustrated. I always heard that you were more fertile after a m/c. Doesn't seem to be true in my case though because it doesn't look like I am Oing this time. How common is that?

*BTW* Because my loss was so early the doc said I could start TTC again immediately, which was why I have been charting this cycle.

You can check out my charts in my siggy. I charted after both m/c's and I honestly don't think I was ready to TTC right after but everyone is different. It is nice to chart right away I find because it helps you see what's going on with your body. It is common not to O the first cycle after m/c. I am sure some of the girls here will tell you about their cycles after.

I didn't chart, but I am pretty sure I didn't O the cycle after m/c. I am not sure I even Oed the cycle after that either. I wonder why so many people think you are more fertile after m/c? Has a study ever been done? HMMMM I will have to look that up! LOL

I think you should because I think it is a load of crap!

I personally had heard that, but assumed it must be true because my step sister had a miscarriage in high school, and a month and a half later found out she was pregnant with TRIPLETS! no fertility drugs either. She ended up miscarrying one of the triplets, but went on to have two healthy boys.

I just had to ask because, I wasn't charting after my first. After my second, I did chart, and did O. Both of those times I had a regular cycle immediately. this time.... I should have been expecting AF within the next few days but instead, I am still sitting here waiting to O!
