Conception and ovulation straight after chemical pregnancy

Hi all,
New to this board ☺️
I’m 32 and myself and DH are trying for number 2 (we have an almost 3YO DD). We just had a chemical pregnancy - AF was due May 18th, already faint pregnancy test lines got fainter on May 19th and disappeared completely on 20th. Started bleeding May 20th and now on a very heavy AF.

We are emotionally ready to just got for it again, my question is have any of you positive experience of getting right after an early Chemical pregnancy and if so did you find you ovulated earlier/later.

For example, I ovulate exactly 14 days after my period starts. As my period was technically 3 days late, do I assume I will just ovulate 14 days after this bleed started? Or do I count 14 days after period was actually due?

Anyone who has just been through the same that wants to join me on this journey please do! X

Welcome everyone!! Got a good little gang going here now!

I did OV strips this cycle too and nothing! So just went with my instinct and hoping it’s ok- have done all I can!

I wonder is there any wisdom to the thinking that you’re more fertile after a CP? Thoughts anyone?

@MountAbora I normally get blank white negative until a few days before ovulation. I definitely ovd last month as my temp rise and it ended up being chemical. 🤞🏻for you

MountAbora · 05/06/2019 18:32

Heya everyone, so me being a POAS addict, Iv done a couple of OPKs and before my CP I would get a faint second line no matter what time of the month I tested however, I haven’t had any hint of a second line since the CP Confused on cycle day 8 so still about a week until I’d expect to ovulate, but anyone else get this? Worried it means I won’t ovulate this month or something !

Abi58 · 05/06/2019 17:26

@LittleRedSocks thank you. Completely agree so glad I've found this thread and all of you lovely ladies! Really sucks that this can happen but it's great to know there is support there. Keeping 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for everyone💕

Of course @Abi58! So sorry you find yourself here but hopefully we can all support each other! It’s so rubbish, and there are no comforting words that can make anything better but hopefully we can keep each other positive! Xx

Hi everyone would you mind if I joined?

Sorry to hear about the losses and congratulations on the BFP's!

Ttc #1

I had a faint positive on an frer last Monday, the lines got a little darker but not much so I was worried went to the drs on Friday they also got a faint positive on their urine test and reassured me that a line is a line. On Saturday night I started spotted, tried not to worry as I know you can bleed a little. Within an hour it was heavier (still only really when wiped but there was a lot there) (my normal af on the pill and only had one off so far so not sure what is normal but it was about 2 days and very light - most the time don't need anything just when I wipe) and then on Sunday morning I noticed clots in the toilet. Couldn't bring myself to do another test but went to the drs on Monday and they confirmed I wasn't pregnant anymore. Devastated as we wanted it so much and got our hopes up but ready to carry on trying.

Currently on cd5 (cd1 as sat when I started bleeding) and still lightly bleeding. 🤞🏻 for this cycle and 🤞🏻 for everyone else still to get their BFP

Ok so I’m on 2dpo according to cervical mucus, but this would be 1dpo according to app...I’m going to go with my body on this one especially right after a CP, I’m not sure how accurate the app will be this cycle! I ran out of those ovulation test strips a couple days ago and never got a positive or even a faint line so just have to trust my instincts...so the wait begins again!! Who’s with me? Xxx

I promised myself that I wouldn't symptom spit or obsess but we all know that is a lie. 😂

I’m CD13, due to ovulate according to app on Tuesday but according to CM it may be sooner! Hopefully we can go on this journey of symptom spotting together over the next few weeks 😂xx

TryingVeryHard2015 · 02/06/2019 15:50

I'm cd12 currently. I will ov today or tomorrow. Cd12/13 is normal for me.

I had a CP last month and I'm right on track to ov as normal according to my symptoms. Here's hoping for us all.

I won't be testing early (she says) Grin This next two weeks will surely be the quickest ever. 🙄

Morningchorus · 02/06/2019 12:34

Hopefully this is a lucky thread! 🤞😊

Morningchorus · 02/06/2019 12:34

I picked up the CF because tests were fading, counted first day of bleed after that as next cycle.
Ovulated 14 days after that, BFP 11dpo.
I said I wouldn’t test early this time because of what happened last month but I have no self restraint...

Congratulations @morningchorus!!! I hope this turns into a very lucky thread! Did you wait for AF after the CP bleed or did you could day one of CP bleed as CD1? Xxx

OP posts:
Morningchorus · 02/06/2019 11:50

So month after chemical I have got a BFP again 😊 keeping my fingers and toes crossed that it’s sticks, will test every day for next fee days to see.
I know I should do it every couple of days but I’m just not that restrained...

SamRwl · 31/05/2019 20:35

@MountAbora thank you so much!! So sorry for you're loss!! Thinking of you! But it hasn't affected anything what so ever for me, love for the future xx

MountAbora · 31/05/2019 20:20

Hello All,
I’m very sorry to hear about your losses but I am glad to find a thread like this. I got a BFP on Weds morning this week but to my complete disappointment I got very bad cramps & started bleeding Weds evening & have been bleeding just like AF since but with a bit more cramps. We just want to try again but had been wondering whether I would ovulate at a similar time as usual.
Seems like I might! I hope everyone is doing well and a massive Congratulations SamRwl on your BFP!

No, not yet! Only finished AF/CP bleeding a few days ago and according to my App I should be ovulating Monday/Tuesday (though should be tomorrow if I am to go by original AF?). Peeing on those IC ovulation strips but nothing yet! What about you?? X
