Testing after miscarriage

[Masha31]

I had D&C on 25th May after a missed miscarriage. DH and I are eager to start trying again but I have no idea when ovulation will be (I've been having twinges that I usually get with ovulation today and yesterday but not sure if that's things just still healing and getting back to 'normal'). I have bought some ovulation kits but have no experience using them and they baffle me a bit...I think we'd be best off just having sex every other day or so. I suppose my question is should I just do pregnancy test 2 weeks after we start having sex again? Just interested to hear other people's experiences on TTC after a loss. Thanks

Hi @Masha31 sorry to hear about your loss. I miscarried on may 23rd so can imagine the rollercoaster of emotions you're feeling now, I'm still bleeding a bit three weeks on which is pretty miserable!

There's a really helpful TTC after miscarriage thread, I'm not sure how to link to it but will see if I can.....

Sorry for your loss.

You need to have a negative test before you should start trying again. It's also better to let your body have one complete cycle to allow you to manage your ovulation and know when exactly to test.

Good luck ❤️

Ovulation really varies after a MMC. I had surgery for my MMC on April 18th and I ovulated for the first time since on June 3rd - exactly a week after getting my first negative pregnancy test

You need a negative pregnancy test before you start trying again. It took me 7 weeks to ovulate after my miscarriage. I personally wouldn't do pregnancy tests starting from 2 weeks after you have sex, it could just lead to a lot of heartbreak.

I personally have quite clear ovulation symptoms, so I waited until a couple of weeks after I felt I had ovulated to test.
