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

Oh my goodness @Abi58 so exciting. I've got everything crossed for you!!

I'm 7dpo today, first day back at work (hoorah!) and I needed to pee a LOT - like every hour for about 6 hours, I was worried i had a uti or something coming which would be the last thing I need! But seems to have stopped since about 4pm which is good - I'm slow moving still so it was getting a bit awkward how often I was getting up 😂 No boob pains at all though today so I think I was imagining that one yesterday

MountAbora · 24/06/2019 06:23

How exciting @Abi58! Fingers crossed for you! 💕

Abi58 · 24/06/2019 05:37

Morning everyone! So the shadows on ic's might be a sign for me! I think I've got a bfp!! So excited but so scared it won't stick 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Top is at 1 min
Middle at 3 mins
Bottom frer at 5 mins
Bottom ic with the faintest line
I'm in shock!

Ahhhhh it's saying I cant upload any more photos 🙈😩 I'll try again later!

Abi58 · 23/06/2019 21:05

@MountAbora make sure you look after yourself 💕
Aw thank you :) 🤞🏻 for you for July as well!

@satsumasaturday from 7dpo last month my nipples were so painful! So 🤞🏻
Hahai thoughy i did bit now I think I just imagined it. Last month at 7dpo I did an ic that I could almost see a shadow on and when I shone a light behind there was a line (perfectly where it should be) and then 3 days later I got my bfp.
Same again this morning (did a few after cp to check hcg was gone and no matter how long I left it there was no line with or without light) so hopeful but we will have to wait and see.
Frer though I could see a shadow line but now I can't see it 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Even if in the next few days I did get a positive I know I'll just be worried and not be able to enjoy it but. Ow I can't wait so I'm setting myself up to be tortured 🤦🏻‍♀️🙈

satsumasaturday · 23/06/2019 20:51

@Abi58 boobs do sound positive - but as I'm only 6dpo I know it's in my head! Your early test sounds tentatively good - assuming you'll probably be taking another in the morning post a pic if there's a hint of a line - I love a good line eyes post! 😂

MountAbora · 23/06/2019 16:26

Thanks both of you. I’m actually ok, had a wee cry to DP on Friday but just raring to go for July now Smile
My fingers are crossed for the pair of you for BFPs this month, keep me updated! It’s so easy to read into things but it’s sounds like you both have good signs 🤞 x

Abi58 · 23/06/2019 16:02

@MountAbora sorry to hear af has arrived properly 🙁💕
Temping is a bit obsessive (tbh I'd be the same if I didn't but more frustrated I had no idea what was happening 🙈)

It's going slowly. May have caved and tested way too early. Convinced it's a bfn but I can see a little something but don't think it has colour. Last month tested now at 8dpo and was bfn didn't get pos TIL 10dpo so not out but a bit deflated.

@satsumasaturday no 😂🙈 read above 😂

How are you doing? Boobs sound positive! Last month my nipples (only nipples) felt like I'd left them out in the sun in the desert 😂 boobs themselves were fine. Bit upset my nipples are fine as making me think I'm out this month! I also get sore nipples around ov (didn't this month though🤷🏻‍♀️) also has it for about 3 weeks after I stopped the pill 🙈

satsumasaturday · 23/06/2019 11:02

@MountAbora sorry to hear that, but in a way at least now you can draw a line under that seemed like a bit of a messed up cycle and get onto the next.

I feel like I'm getting odd twinges in my boobs this morning. I think in my head, but I remember last month being woken up by a stabbing pain in my boob and then that morning I got my bfp. So obviously I reading into it far too much. Everyone usually says their boobs "ache" though, which mine don't. But then most people also don't describe sensitive nipples at ovulation like me either 😂

MountAbora · 23/06/2019 10:21

AF arrived properly yesterday @satsumasaturday AF arrived yesterday properly tho still with less cramping & mood swings (I can be a right cow for a day or so!) than usual. I’m just impatient for it to be over & to get on with the next cycle now!
Sounds like a good plan to get DH to hide your frers as the struggle is real not to use them!! Grin
Hope your doing okay @Abi58 and @LittleRedSocks

satsumasaturday · 23/06/2019 08:36

Morning! How is everyone doing? @Abi58 are you resisting any super early testing?!

I'm 6dpo now, I ordered some frer which arrived yesterday but I'm going to ask dh to hide them from me until next weekend. I have some ICs to waste in the meantime if I really want to pee on something

@MountAbora DHs head hurt a lot. He has been very sheepish since 😂 Did AF arrive in full force in the end for you or are you still in limbo?

MountAbora · 22/06/2019 15:09

Yeah I think you might be right @satsumasaturday I’m don’t think Iv ovulated this month. Hopefully just my body being a bit confused after the cp and it will be back to normal this cycle.
Hope your DH’s head is okay this morning & you got a better sleep Grin
@Abi58 I came off the mini pill at the beginning of March & cycles have been 25-28 days since then, was pretty regular before going on the pill 3 years ago. Don’t temp but keep an eye on cm & what the rest of my body is doing!
How’s your tww going?

Abi58 · 21/06/2019 22:37

@MountAbora how often have you been testing? Are you tracking temp or anything else?

Are your cycles normally irregular? Is it like normal af bleeding?

@satsumasaturday haha that would definitely be a rare symptom 🙈

satsumasaturday · 21/06/2019 22:15

🤨 I don't know tbh @MountAbora. If they are the strongest lines you've had all cycle then perhaps you haven't actually ovulated and are having a annovulatory cycle (feel like I've got that wrong/spelt it wrong). Very frustrating. Has the bleeding become full af or just spotting?

My OPKs have been messed up this month too as while I've had a positive I have had a slight line most days throughout the cycle, which is unusual for me as before this month I'd have stark whiteness everyday and then a positive, before back to stark whiteness

I'm 4dpo now I think, clear temp rise this morning to much higher than previous days. Don't feel anything different at all though (except nipples have died down thank god 😂). Had a terrible nights sleep last night but only because dh went out on a bender (very unusual for him so I definitely saw the funny side) and didn't roll in until 1am absolutely steaming and spouting nonsense. Before flopping onto bed and snoring very loudly the rest of the night. Not sure that's a pregnancy symptom though...

MountAbora · 21/06/2019 21:02

Ok scrap that, have just started bleeding slightly, not due until weds & no symptoms but oh well....onto the next cycle I guess.
Hope everyone else is doing ok

MountAbora · 21/06/2019 20:35

Heya All. How’s everyone doing?
Im on cycle day 24 and although I know these OPKs are negative they are still the strongest lines I have had all cycle! Could I still be waiting on ovulation?!
Past 2 months before were earlier & cm doesn’t suggest ov. I know you can still get lines during the month, just strange that I have almost completely white lines up until now and now a bit of a line!!

Sorry to hear that @LittleRedSocks take care of yourself WineBrewCake

satsumasaturday · 20/06/2019 07:28

Really sorry to hear that @LittleRedSocks hope you're doing ok Thanks

Abi58 · 19/06/2019 21:47

@LittleRedSocks noooo 😩 I'm so sorry! Has she arrived with full force? Sending hugs 💕

LittleRedSocks · 19/06/2019 20:41

AF looks like she’s arriving I’m afraid 😭😢Xx

Abi58 · 19/06/2019 12:41

@MountAbora that's frustrating not knowing where you are but maybe you'll get a surprise? 😁🤞🏻

I think you get ewcm then after ov it dries and goes more sticky. Yesterday mine was sticky but today (tmi) it's like a white ewcm which is odd!

@LittleRedSocks thank you 😁🤞🏻 I don't really know as last month was my first cycle and first month temping and I had the chemical. It did start to drop so though I was out, maybe that was a bad sign but it rose again then I bled so no idea 😂 🤞🏻

LittleRedSocks · 19/06/2019 12:27

@Abi58 oh well fingers crossed they stay raised for you! When do you notice a dip usually (if you haven’t concieved)? That would be almost like an early pregnancy test!

Thanks @LittleRedSocks I’m honestly just not letting myself think it’s a BFP yet because I’m just so afraid of being devestated again! Will deffo keep you lovely ladies posted though!
@sugartitz sorry for your loss but also congratulations! Also I love your username haha!

MountAbora · 19/06/2019 12:19

Ooo @LittleRedSocks that’s so exciting!! Fingers crossed for you! Keep us updated! If that wasn’t fmu even more promising!

@sugartitz thank you for your success story, lovely to hear.

@Abi58 I’m cycle day 22 and last month I had a positive OPK on cd 20 the month before it was cd 16. I haven’t had a positive this month yet even tho been temping at least twice a day Blush I check my cm & had ewcm last week but it’s been more watery/ creamy since fri/ sat. I’m just a bit confused this month which is frustrating.

Thanks @satsumasaturday. It must be a right pain being laid up, I’m guessing the tww is even longer!! Love that you can tell from your nipples your DPO Grin

Abi58 · 19/06/2019 12:07

@sugartitz so sorry to hear about your losses. It lovely to hear a success story! Hope you're doing well! 😁

sugartitz · 19/06/2019 12:04

I had a chemical last year (I had a miscarriage the month before that as well) and had a positive pregnancy test 6 weeks later!

Abi58 · 19/06/2019 12:01

@LittleRedSocks ooo exciting everything crossed for you!! 😁

Haha don't worry it's an exciting time!! I think it's more they rise after ov and if it stays risen when you should have af it's a high chance you are. Just happy I definitely seem to have ovulated so I'm in with a chance. Had an odd Cm today though and google doesn't seem to be much help (symptom spotting already 😂😁😩)
