Hello! I miscarried in April and had a d&c. Periods were all over the place at first, but seemed like I had a normal one from 7/1-7/7. I've been charting and using an OPK (actually used two brands because I wanted to see if the cheapie a from the Internet really worked - I know, I'm crazy). OPK from Target was positive on 7/18 and both were positive on 7/19. My temp dipped 7/18 and then rose the next two days, and spiked up today. We'd BD every other day on leading up to the pos. OPK and then BD on 7/18 & 7/19. We probably should have yesterday, too, but I just could summon the energy or enthusiasm (plus, I was a little annoyed at DH about other things). I hope i didn't mess up our chances for this cycle. Just looking for support & ideas for how to get through TWW without going crazy!

@poppygirl15: I don't have any advice, but I want to wish you good luck!
I had a d&c a few weeks ago, so I will be in your position soon. if you don't mind me asking, did you start trying before this month? We are going to start again after AF, but I'm a little worried about how long it will take my cycle to regulate.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I had my D&C in March and started TTC in May. For me, just keeping busy helped pass the TWW. Maybe pickup a new hobby or if you're a reader, a new book? Good luck!

I'm in the same boat. Miscarried naturally on 6/23 at 7 weeks and got the clear from my doctor's office within a couple weeks. I haven't actually gotten my first AF post-miscarriage but am already trying again and it looks like I ovulated on 7/13. I know I shouldn't have high hopes for the post-miscarriage cycle but I've been cramping on and off yesterday and today (7 and 8 dpo). I was doing ok not thinking about the TWW until the cramping hit. I've been googling the difference between corpus luteum cyst pain and implantation cramping all afternoon.

@Zbug: Hi Zbug, sorry to hear of your loss. This is our first month trying. Our first dr. said we should wait 2 cycles, but everything was so weird, I don't know if we really did that. The dr. I'm seeing now said we could start after 1 "normal" cycle, which is I guess what I've had. About 5 weeks after my d&c, I had a week of spotting. Two weeks later, I had a heavy period for two weeks. I think I ovulated 1 week later, but then another period came 1 week after that. But, that period was normal (re: 7 days & not too heavy). So, I guess I've had two periods, even though they weren't both normal in length and the second period started only 2 weeks after the first. Since getting that second period, though, my cycles been acting more normal. I usually have longish cycles, so I think it was normal for me to ovulate as late as I did. At least I hope it is! I hope that helps. And, I hope everything regulates for you soon! I find it so hard for everything to be out of whack because it's just a reminder of the miscarriage.
Thanks @avioll01 - I'm about to finish my current book and I think diving into a new one is a good idea.
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you, @shantuck! I have totally gotten sucked into the googling thing and am trying my darndest not to do that this time. It's so hard!

@poppygirl15: thanks! All of that is good to know. Hope it all works out for you soon!
