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

@Abi58 not yet but I can feel it coming :(

Abi58 · 09/07/2019 07:09

@Larrydavid any sign this morning?

Larrydavid · 09/07/2019 00:14

@Abi58 I think it will be here in the morning. I've been having cramps all evening.

@MountAbora the end of tww is the worst! But cocktails are always the silver lining 🍹

@MummyMilla welcome! Sorry about your loss. Fingers crossed for this cycle!

@satsumasaturday I totally get that - I think I'd be the same. But I'm sure the little bean is doing just fine - morning sickness or not 😊

Abi58 · 08/07/2019 22:32

@Larrydavid any sign? How are you feeling?

@satsumasaturday proud of you getting the forms filled and a huge milestone for you 💕my skin is ridiculously oily shiny and spotty 😩🙈 also not as hungry as normal

@MountAbora thank you 😁 I bought sea bands and seem to help but also a bit painful after a while and as people tend to know what they are I can't risk wearing them out at work or with anyone that doesn't know yet 🙈

@MummyMilla welcome and sorry for your loss 💕 I'm a summer baby and it's not too bad 😁 means I was never at school on my birthday

MountAbora · 08/07/2019 22:04

Heya @MummyMilla so sorry about your cp. fingers crossed for you this cycle !
You’re a few days ahead of me on the tww so we can hopefully keep each other company. I’m ttc #1

MummyMilla · 08/07/2019 19:01

hi can I join you all? CP last cycle (altho hadn't got so far as testing, just had the symptoms and then a bleed 4 days before AF due).

I am 5DPO and my boobs have been sore since OV last Wed. A few twinges in the old ovary department and so I am keeping everything crossed that this is going to be my month. Now to hold off testing for another week at least!

BTW, I am 38 and we're TTC #3. Our youngest is nearly 6 and we're on cycle 6 I think? Really really want it to happen this month as it'll mean their birthday would be a month before eldest. As awful as it sounds, I don't want another summer baby knowing that it can be tougher for them at school...

MountAbora · 08/07/2019 18:23

@Abi58 oh dear! 🤞 the sickness stays away as long as possible! Sounds a bit rough.
@Larrydavid that sucks. If AF still isn’t here your not out yet but the thought of those cocktails sounds like a silver lining if she does arrive. That’s good you have a holiday booked next week, enjoy!
I’m usually ok for the 1st few days if the tww but from the weekend il be itching to test even tho I know it’s waaay too early.
@satsumasaturday that sounds like a fair few symptoms. It is scary getting the forms given what you went through last time but it’s also very exciting! 😊 and thanks, hopefully the timing was ok, I’m pleased I got a very definite OPK this month, il just have to wait it out now, which is so much easier said than done!

satsumasaturday · 08/07/2019 16:28

I'm good thanks @Larrydavid still not having obvious pregnancy symptoms - I'd say the main thing I've noticed is that I don't seem to be able to sleep through the night without weeing (never a problem before), my skin has got very oily, and I don't seem to be as hungry (but possibly because I'm always so hot!). The sickness hasn't set in though which I'm sure I should be grateful for but I would like to feel sick for some reassurance... I realize that sounds mad!

I went to the doctors earlier to fill in my forms for the midwife to collect- I've been putting it off because as soon as I got back last time was when the bleeding started so I didn't want to jinx it. I sound mad again 🙈

Larrydavid · 08/07/2019 14:12

@satsumasaturday yeah I think 13dpo today. It's been a cruel cycle - have been nauseous on and off for the last week - thought it might be pg related but think it's my AF lead up. How are you??

satsumasaturday · 08/07/2019 13:17

@MountAbora that's a very well timed DTD I think - hopefully you ovulate today but even if you ovulated yesterday then Friday's swimmers will have still be ready to pounce! 🤞

@Larrydavid are you 13 DPO today? Hoping af doesn't arrive for you 😊

Larrydavid · 08/07/2019 10:42

@MountAbora fingers crossed this tww goes quickly!! Do you have much planned?
I'm due today/ tomorrow and have period pains so am waiting for it to arrive. Really don't want it to but will be happy to move on to the next cycle. I have a holiday next week so at least it means I'll be fee to have some cocktails!

Abi58 · 08/07/2019 10:13

@MountAbora 🤞🏻 thank you!

Thought I was going to be sick this morning but managed to hold back 😂🙈

MountAbora · 08/07/2019 09:42

Thanks @Abi58 fingers crossed!
Hope your doing well 😊

Abi58 · 08/07/2019 09:39

@MountAbora yay!! Definitely in with a chance 😁🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

MountAbora · 08/07/2019 08:50

Hope everyone is doing ok for a Monday 😊So I had my blazing positive OPK yesterday morning & had positives again last night & this morning, DP wasn’t feeling well at all yesterday so didn’t manage to dtd then but did this morning, hopefully I am still in with a chance dtd Friday & today if I’m still getting positive OPKs this morning. And now the wait begins.....
@Larrydavid how are you doing, as your AF is due soon isn’t it?

Abi58 · 06/07/2019 22:12

@MountAbora 🤞🏻 for you! Definitely try and jump him in the morning😁

Larrydavid · 06/07/2019 20:56

@MountAbora yeah I'll wait until my period is due if it doesn't come, I'll test again. I got a very faint positive at 12dpo last month which disappeared so I'd rather wait (esp after this morning's test!) also, defs jump him in the morning!

MountAbora · 06/07/2019 20:21

Thanks @satsumasaturday and @Larrydavid il try to hold off! Will maybe jump DP tomorrow morning just in case 😂
@Larrydavid you still have a few days it could definitely change, for every early BFP story there are also later BFP stories so you could still be in with a chance. The wait is so difficult so I feel for you.
Will you test at some point next week if AF doesn’t come?

Larrydavid · 06/07/2019 19:28

@Abi58 thanks! You're right but I'm not going to test again!

@MountAbora I know you're right but you also read about so many people testing positive early that it does feel a teeny bit disappointing. I think I'm due on mon/Tuesday. Fingers crossed it changes but we'll see! I agree with @satsumasaturday - hold out for a day. I think trying to time it the day before ov is your best bet if you guys aren't at it like rabbits this month.

satsumasaturday · 06/07/2019 19:14

@MountAbora I'd hold off, especially if dh won't be up for it, I ovulate either the day after or two days after my LH surge. But it does depend on how quickly you ovulate once the surge starts - the first couple of months I was too keen too soon and we got tired out by the time I got my peak days, then the two months I held off were the months I got BFPs.

MountAbora · 06/07/2019 18:53

@Larrydavid when is AF due? As Abi58 said your not out until it arrives & some people don’t get their BFPs until days after it’s due, fingers crossed for you.
My OPK is nearly positive, given that my DP is unlikely to feel up to dtd today & tomorrow are my chances better if I do it today before I ov or tomorrow when il hopefully get a positive OPK? Might be able to get him to dtd Monday too depending on how he’s doing🤞!

Abi58 · 06/07/2019 17:42

@Larrydavid you're not out til af arrived 🤞🏻 for you

Larrydavid · 06/07/2019 17:21

@Abi58 I tested today and it was negative so I'll wait now to see if period is late!

Abi58 · 06/07/2019 09:21

@Larrydavid 😁
When are you planning to test?

Larrydavid · 06/07/2019 06:33

@MountAbora yeah I think I'm 11dpo today. I swear I've been feeling a bit nauseous for a few days but am also very aware that my body hasn't had hormones flying about for years so it's just as likely to be that! Great that you're near ov and that you managed to DTD!

@satsumasaturday milestones are good! I'm sure this month is going to go well for you!

@Abi58 yay for scan! Not long now!
