NOT OVULATING 5 MONTHS AFTER MISCARRIAGE?!

Hi,

I fell pregnant in May after my first AF after coming off the pill at the end of March. I have wanted a baby for so long and my husband only came round to the idea at the start of this year so felt over the moon to be pregnant so soon.
When I fell pregnant I expected it to take a few months so wasn't temping or looking for signs. I did use a opk.
I had a miscarriage when I was 6 weeks. It then took 3 long months for me to have a period. During that time I kept using opks but they were all over the place.
After I got my period I was so happy as it meant my body was back to normal. I am now on cycle day 33 and I dont think I am ovulating. My temperatures are up and down, I was using opks but have given up as they kept getting several positives weeks apart. I have not had much cm but I keep getting sore boobs and breaking out in spots.
I am devastated to think there might be something wrong with me, and if I am not ovulating I won't be able to get pregnant again. I know the doctors won't do anything until we have been trying for a year and will just tell me to wait. But it consumes my life so much, it's all I can think about and everyone around me is either pregnant or already got children.
I would love to hear from anyone in the same boat or a similar story or with anyone with a success story after a miscarriage.
Please say hello ??

Hi Honeybee - it's a horrible feeling, wanting something so badly and not knowing what's going on. But the fact that you got pregnant once means you have a good chance of getting pregnant again - and in fact I was told by my doctor that statistically, a pregnancy after a miscarriage is more likely to be successful.

Miscarriages are really common - this is scary, but it also means that most women go on to have successful pregnancies after them. I had a miscarrage at 6 weeks and went on to have a successful pregnancy afterwards. I wasn't charting my cycles then, but I remember it took a while to settle down afterwards.

Good luck and hope things settle down soon.

Hi Artioo2 thank you so much for your reply. That's what my husband said to me but I keep googling too much and reading stories about people that have had miscarriages and still haven't conceived 3 years later which send me into a panic as I'm nearly 32.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! This gives me hope. I'm seeing the doctor next week but don't hold out much hope for them doing anything yet. I guess it's just a waiting game but hopefully one day I will get my bfp.

I know how you feel, I had a miscarriage in February and my periods are still out of whack coming every 49-52 days I do still ovulate though between days 37-40 so because your having a long cycle doesn't mean your not ovulating you could just be ovulating later in ur cycle like I do, it's frustrating but hopefully one day your cycles will go bk to how they used to be x

This happened to me. I took clomid for a few months. The specialist said, a miscarriage can often send hormones haywire for a bit.

Hi Honeybee, sorry to hear about your troubles. This happened to me too: a miscarriage at around ten weeks, no period for almost three months, haywire cycles after. I ended going to an acupuncturist to help regulate my cycle - expensive but it worked. I think there is a Chinese proverb about how having a miscarriage is more confusing for your body than giving birth a hundred times over. It can take a long time for things back to normal, try to be patient with your body completely fails to take own advice and I hope that you get that much wanted bfp soon
