My chart is all screwy because of the miscarriage. I miscarried on CD 2. Do you think I have Oed at all?
It looks like I could have on CD 14, but of course FF is not going to put it as ovulation because my pre-O temps were all high.

Is there even a faint possibility that I could have Oed around CD 22? The temp dropped, but not drastically. We had unprotected sex and I'm just concerned that I don't really want to get pregnant this cycle because #1 I need to start taking progesterone immediately and #2 I don't have any way of knowing if I am because I am still getting faint BFPs from the last pregnancy!

I had a tiny bit of brown spotting last night and at first I thought AF was coming, but nope, she is not here. So I thought OMG, what if it was implantation bleeding?

What do you think? Any ideas on when AF might show?

I'm not really sure I know that it took about 7 weeks after my miscarriage before I was normal again. I miscarried in May and had my first period in June after the miscarriage.

First of all, I'm so sorry about your loss.

Secondly, it's perfectly normal for things to be weird after a miscarriage (frustrating, but normal.) Some women do ovulate again right away, and others take a little longer.

However, if you discard that temp on CD21, it looks like you have a thermal shift starting on CD24. The timing of the spotting is a little early to be implantation, but not out of the question either. Have you felt dry since those EWCM days?

Yes, I've been pretty dry ever since. I had maybe some EWCM on CD 23, but it could have just been "leftovers".
Since then, maybe a little creamy CM for a few days, but not much at all.

I've just the tiniest bit of brown spotting today also, so maybe AF is on her way?

It's still making me nervous though that I could have Oed on CD 22-23. Do you think CD 14 is out the question as an O date?

It could be AF, but the timing is more consistent with implantation. I think CD14 is out of the question completely, yes. #1 - all that fertile mucus afterwards makes it nearly impossible to have ovulated on CD14. Progesterone produced after ovulation dries up the CM. #2 - there is no temperature evidence to suspect CD14. If you calculate a thermal shift as 3 temperatures which are higher than the previous 6 - that doesn't happen around CD14 at all. But if you ignore CD21, you totally have that pattern from CD16-23 (6 low temps) and then the shift from CD24-27 (3 high temps). There it is.

Hang in there!

I'm so sorry hon. I know it's hard...and the bad thing is that your cycles tend to get wacky after a m/c. I know mine got a lot longer afterwards.

I hope that this really is IB and not your period starting! I'll be rooting for you! Goooooo sticky bean!
