I feel stupid even asking this... V new to this - TTC for 2nd month now. No children. (And 1st time posting on Mumsnet!)... but...
Is it possible to have had a chemical pregnancy and miscarriage after only 8 days? Have had a freaky month.
Started taking BBT last month. On day after temp first rose was expecting another higher temp to confirm if ovulated, but had a fever temp of 38C. Ended up being v ill with some sort of stomach bug, so didn't take temp for rest of cycle so didn't get full month's data.
On 8th day after estimated ovulation (and DTD) AF started. I have irregular cycles - ranged between 20 and 35 days over the years, but recently hovers about 24 days. This was day 21 so bit earlier than usual. Then flow was different to usual pattern, lasted 6 days (usually 4 to 5) followed by 4 days of spotting (and still going on - usually get 1 or 2 at most).
It seems a coincidence that I get an earlier and different period just after starting TTC. Or could it just be my body's gone haywire from being ill? (Also big coincidence that got fever on day temp should have gone up anyway, but I'm assuming that really IS a coincidence!)
I read that if you've had a chemical pregnancy you should leave it a month before trying again. Keen not to lose a month - I'm 37, so now we've finally decided to go for it, after years of indecision, every month seems precious!
