Help - Advice TTC after miscarriage

Hello - new on here but wondering if others can help/shed light on this. Had a miscarriage and ERPC end of May. I was about 11 weeks. Since then we've been TTC the whole time through. It's now like 41 days since the ERPC and still no AF and it's driving me mad as to whether I've even ovulated or whether I might be pregnant or not and whether AF is just going to appear. I have been doing OPK throughout this cycle but not from the very beginning as I had not thought of using them. They have always shown negative until last weekend when a faint second line was there. Pregnancy tests show negative. I just want to know. Confused

snowcloud, hcg level of 1 means you are definitely not pregnant, and are very unlikely to have anything retained from your miscarriage. Anything under 5 is 'not pregnant'. Anything over 25 is. You have a clean slate! Any positive pg tests you get from now on are true positives.
I am a poster on the metallers thread, for people ttc or pregnant after mc. We call what you have been through the WTF cycle, because it can be so weird and unpredictable! Your body can take a few cycles to get back to normal post mc, but the first is usually the worst.
Are you taking any vitamins? Would recommend a good pregnancy or conception vitamin that has lots of B vitamins in, they are meant to help you get your cycle back on track. Lots of good food, sleep, and nice things too to help you feel better.
I'm very sorry for your loss, and for all you have been through. X

Thank you so much for your replies it really helps. Yep I'm back on with the ovulation sticks now and feel like I understand what my body is doing a bit more now than before. I'm tracking everything and trying to chart too so I can see what's happening. Has anyone used Evening Primrose Oil tablets to help?
