Conception and ovulation straight after chemical pregnancy

[LittleRedSocks]

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

I had that around cd6 after CP too and apparently, so not sure why it happened but I deffo wasn’t ovulating! Xx

Have you taken a pregnancy test too to make sure totally negative? Xxx

@LittleRedSocks
Happened as well yesterday, just a bit odd. I'm cd 6 today as well.
The dr had a faint positive on their test Friday last week and negative Monday.

@LittleRedSocks just done a test to make 100% sure and as negative as can be.

@Abi58 did you do an Ov test today? How was it? Hope your DTD just in case! X

@tryingveryhard did you ov and if yes what dpo are you now? I’m either 4dpo or 6dpo...don’t know exactly! But lots of sharp pinching pelvic twinges ...has similar last time so I’m hoping that it’s a move in right direction?

@LittleRedSocks still a line a bit fainter I think! Yes we have but surely I can't be ov yet. Only time will tell!

It’s so confusing - body does strange things after mc/cp though so you never know!!! Fingers crossed for you xx

It does seem to! So I just checked and I have the start of ewcm stretchy but still a bit cloudy. How strange! Hopefully if I do ov early it will have enough to stick to! I'll keep you posted!

How is everyone getting on?

Heya,
Iv still to get a positive OPK, getting quite worried Iv either missed it or I’m not ovulating this month!! Frustrating. Also everyone around me seems to be getting pregnant....equal measures pleased for them and jealous! Ttc can be tough.

Hope everyone else is getting on okay.
How are you getting on Abi58?

Oh no! Has your CM changed at all? It could be that the OV sticks just aren’t working properly? Are they the internet ones? I gave up on mine!

Other than that I’m 8/9dpo - I honestly feel I’ve so many symptoms. But so afraid to think that it’s worked. Did a FRER today and it was a blazing BFN. I know ur not out till AF shows though so going to keep some (blind) optimism! X

@MountAbora it can be quite easy to miss the surge are you tracking anything else like your Cm or temp that might help?

Hang in there! We're here if you need to vent or talk! We will get there!

I'm ok thanks. Still a bit down about the whole thing. Not sure what's going on seemed to be getting lines on opks when they are normally blank (still negative but lines showing) and then faded then thismornings was a bit stronger again (last month I got my positive opk on cd12 which is today.l) this evening did one and barely visible! No idea what's going on! Temp is a lot lower this month as well which is odd. Had a small amount of slightly cloudy ewcm the other day but not it's just watery - sorry tmi - not like pouring but just wet on my fingers if that makes sense.

@LittleRedSocks that's very early as well so probably wouldn't have shown anyway. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Abi58 apparently watery CM is also fertile! So just keep DTD just in case! I hope you’re ok, it is definitely really draining trying, waiting, wondering.

Thanks guys, appreciate it. I have been monitoring my cm & had some ewcm but also a bit watery & creamy at times so completely confused!! I have felt pretty down this week about it all. Your right that it does drain you. Doesn’t help that DP has a bit of a health issue recently which means he doesn’t feel like DTD very often

Sounds positive Abi58. I think the the cp can mess with your cycle a bit so your maybe just going to ov a little later. Fingers crossed for you. I haven’t been tracking my temps just using the internet OPK strips, would you recommend doing temps?

Hope your doing ok LittleRedSocks. The tww is the longest but most especially after a loss. It is early so every chance you could still get your BFP. I really hope you do.

@LittleRedSocks im making sure if it 😁

@MountAbora 🤞🏻 for you! It really is!
Hoping it is later worried it might not even happen this month. It's effort you have to do it every day first thing in the morning but you do get a rise after ovulation so it can help confirm it so it's good for that. My temps are all a lot lower this month for some reason

Yay so I've been using cheap ic opks and I also thought I'd try the clear blue one (got it on offer!) and I have just got a flashing smiley face which means I'm having a rise but not yet my surge so getting there it seems! 😁 will try an ic later to see what that says

Yay! #Abi58 thats great! Time to get busy then it sounds like
I still have no luck with a positive OPK, but boobs are a bit tender & have had a sharp pain in my side which I tend to get around ovulation so my fingers are crossed for this weekend.

@littleredsocks - I can only assume I ovulated as I don't track other than my own body symptoms. I'm 10/11 dpo today and have had tender boobs and mild but persistent cramp since 6ish dpo. It's different to last month though which I don't know whether to take as a positive or negative. I might test on Sunday but I'd rather wait for Monday.

@TryingVery I wish I had your self restraint! I have a bag of IC’s and 2 FRER’s and just want to use the FRER’s but going to try hols off and satisfy myself with the IC’s until (if) I get some form of line...

I think deffo take anything new as a good sign! But then we never ever know do we?
boobs were sore the last two days but woke up today and not sore unless I really squeeze. Have had lots of pelvic stabs,shocks and twinges since say 6dpo but they have eased off a lot so I’m just not feeling so hopeful! I think educated guess AF is due Tuesday so we’ll see...xx

@MountAbora thanks!! Oh definitely (don't need an excuse but happy to have one hehe)
Just keep getting busy 😁😁 that should cover it!

@TryingVeryHard2015 last month I had cramps right from ov so 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for you 😁

@LittleRedSocks i need some restraint as well I haven't ovulated yet and I did an ic test this morning 😂😂 in fairness to myself it was because I've been having shoulder pain and I was freaking myself out so I did a test just to make 10000% sure there was no hcg left in my system (also so I know when I next test that a line is new 😁)
When are you planning to test?

Don't get me wrong, there's 2x frer and 2x cb digital under my bed (hiding them from my 4year old) . We'll see whether I cave.

Symptom spotting is taking over my life again this month. Google needs a break. 😂

Can I join? I got my BFP on 15th May

Oops posted too soon. BFP on 15th May, lines got fainter and fainter until AF showed on 20th. I'm currently 10dpo and BFN on. FRER this morning. Feel so low. It's worse this month I think after having a BFP last month.

@TryingVeryHard2015 are you guessing dpo from an app or length of cycle?
Know when af is due?

Welcome @Whyhaveidonethis sorry to hear that 🙁 10dpo is still early, how are you feeling? I'm dreading the wait this month I'm going to have to distract myself from testing early I don't want to go through that again :(

On the plus side I got my flashing smiley on cb opk and just got this on a cheapy (nearly there 😁)
