Hellobee Boards

I'm so sorry for your loss. If the hcg is not pit of your system you won't ovulate. Your body still thinks you're pregnant so ovulation won't happen until hcg goes to zero. So even though based on the length of previous cycles you should be in a fertile window this cucle will likely be quite a bit longer than a normal cycle. We waited until I had one period after my miscarriage and then got pregnant right away. For me, I needed that cycle off for my mind and my body to get a rest. If I had gotten pregnant without skipping a cycle and then something happened I would have blamed myself so I didn't want to take that risk.

Hi @MrsK -- I don't have any advice but am in the same boat. Early miscarriage 2 weeks ago and we're ready to try again. I'm getting my HGC levels drawn still and last week I was at 14. I'm 15 DPO and no signs of O yet (I'm temping and checking CM). I'm guessing that this cycle will be longer than previous (27-31) just because of the remaining HGC in the system. Not really sure if or when I'll ovulate so we're doing more of a NTNP than active TTC this month. Hoping once things regulate for a quick sticky BFP -- wishing you a quick sticky baby too! Thanks for starting this thread, I'm interested to hear what others have to say.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I miscarried at 9 weeks, had a D&C, and I also wanted to start trying right away. I took hpts til negative, then did opks. The opks came back looking positive for several days in a row, but i never got ewcm. I got my first period almost exactly 28 days after the D&C. I don't think I ever ovulated before that first period After that, I ovulated like clockwork (used opks) & things went back to normal. I conceived 2nd cycle after MC, but it was an early loss/chemical. 7 long cycles later, I conceived again & I'm now 14 weeks Actually my cycles were short, 25-26 days, but it definitely felt like forever! I hope this helps? I searched like crazy for success after mc stories so I know how you feel. Hoping for the best for you.

I mc'd at 8.5 weeks and it took 8 weeks for my hcg to go to zero at which point I promptly ovulated. It's so different for everyone!

So sorry for your loss

I'm very sorry for your loss. It's also my understanding that your body won't ovulate if you still have HCG in your system. I waited 2 months after my first miscarriage and a month after my second miscarriage just to be sure my body had time to right itself after the losses.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I miscarried at 7w and like you, was hoping to start trying again right away - after going through infertility I didn't want to waste any time. But I didn't ovulate that cycle and it took 3 weeks to get a beta under 5. FWIW, I was getting negative HPTs and OPKs for quite a while before my betas were actually negative. Hoping for a sticky baby for you as soon as your soul and body are ready for it.

How are you ladies doing?

I'm 25 days post early miscarriage. Last week HGC was down to 9. I'm tired of getting blood drawn so I think I'll skip this week. FF had me ovulating at CD17 but just bumped it back to CD22 so not entirely sure if/when I've O (I don't use OPKS, so just based on temp/CM). I don't think I've ever looked forward to getting AF, except for this month!

Hope everyone is doing well!

@norcalwayfarer - I can't believe I'm looking forward to AF, as well! I'm just anxious to figure out what is going on with my body. I'm 14 days post early MC. I haven't been to the Dr. yet, but I'm going next week.

@mrsk - I know how you feel. It's tough hearing about pregnancies, when we were just feeling that same excitement.

I missed this the first time around.

I conceived S right after a miscarriage, with no period in between.

When I was talking to the back up OB for my midwife at my 36 week appointment, the topic came up and she said that it doesn't make much difference if you had a natural miscarriage, and it's more for dating purposes than anything. Since they use ultrasounds, now, for dating scans, she said that it shouldn't make a difference, if you're mentally ready for it.

I'm hoping that AF shows up today too so we can get back at it! Good luck

@Mrsk: yay for AF!

@Beebug: Congrats and thank you for sharing -- it's always reassuring and so happy to hear stories like yours.

AFM, I'm on CD 29 and FF keeps switching EOD from 17 to 22, so who knows. I'm just anxiously waiting for AF at this point!

Yay finally got AF FF switched me back to EOD on CD17 so that is a little more normal for me than it would have been at CD22, so I'm feeling like things are getting back on track! Ready to try for a May baby now!

@Beebug: Thanks! A little disappointed we're not preggers, but glad to be "hitting the reset button" as others have said.

@Mrs.Someone: How are you doing?

@Mrsk: I am so so so sorry about your loss and so happy AF arrived. Sending hugs and baby dust.
