BBT After Missed Miscarriage

[LauraT94]

Hi all!

Just after some advice from those who chart their BBT as I'm really confused with what my chart is doing!

I had a missed miscarriage and had an MVA to end the Pregnancy on 14th January (I was 9.5 weeks pregnant).

Been trying to catch ovulation ever since but my temps have been so up and down!

FF has now given me solid crosshairs for CD23 but the temps after that point are low for me for luteal phase so that worries me. It also gives me dotted crosshairs for CD20 if I mark CD23 as an anomaly (not sure if I slept with mouth open).

OPKs haven't given me any concrete results - I've been keeping really well hydrated and my urines so clear I think it's too diluted and skewing the results!

I'm half tempted to say I've still not actually ovulated yet... Anyone have any advice or insight into BBT after miscarriage please?

Just thought I'd update in case anyone else comes across this!

I got my period finally!

I also treated myself to FF premium and added in my RHR. Seems to show that I actually ovulated CD19! Which means I Ovulated whilst still getting positive pregnancy tests. No idea why my LP temps were so low, but I'm guessing it's just a post-MC thing!

@LauraT94 hi hun sorry for your loss. Had a mc a few weeks ago at 11 wks. Hopefully we can have our special baby. What an experience. I'm ttc. But havent seen my period yet however pregnancy test is now negative. How long did it take you to get your period.
Are you looking to ttc asap or are you going to wait awhile?
What app do you use and do you just wee on the stick closer to when the app say you are due? Thanks

@Lizbb aw thank you. I'm sorry for your loss too!

It took 4 weeks and 1 day from my MVA for my period to arrive. So I think I was quite lucky not to have a really long wait. My period came about a week after I got my negative pregnancy tests.

We're definitely trying again. We're going to DTD every other day from my period finishing to after I've confirmed ovulation. We were lucky enough to fall first month trying last time so I have my fingers crossed!

I use Femometer to track OPKs and Fertility Friend to track BBT and everything else :)

@LauraT94 thanks hun. Let's remain positive and hopeful. I had a bit of blood this morning. Fingers crossed my period comes soon. Do you know about preseed or clear plus. Wanna try get one as sometimes I have to use baby oil when I get dry but saw positive and scientific reviews on both? Thanks in advance x

@LauraT94 also sorry what do you think about waiting for a few months after our period to try again. My epu said for me to do this so I don't get confused about testing etc. I've read some reviews where some women say its important to have the lining heal while some have gone on to have kids. Nit sure ttc asap or wait.

@Lizbb ooh yes maybe AF is on its way!

I used preseed this cycle but I've heard good reviews about both! Have half a tube of the preseed left so will definitely use it again this cycle. But OH and I used to use KY Jelly and that's what we conceived with last time! 🤷🏼‍♀️

I think waiting Vs trying straight away is definitely just a personal choice unless your Dr has strictly forbidden it! I was keen to try again straight away but I'm almost glad I've had a period now to kind of have a 'clear out' if that makes sense?! Like I'll now have a fresh and fluffy lining ready for a baby to grow!

I'm feeling so positive and optimistic about this cycle. ❤️

@LauraT94 yea I pray for you and me both. Also read a high percentage of when u mc u are likely to go on to have a full term baby. Amen to that lol.
Hopefully my period comes soon so I can start recording ovulation etc. Gonna order preseed now. Anything to help. I'm getting some come but not sure if ovulation as I dont understand all these things lol.

@Lizbb definitely recommend BBT if you can! It's the easiest and most obvious way to see what your cycles doing. It won't necessarily tell you when ovulation is coming but it will be able to help confirm after ovulation has happened!

I've got this thermometer and it's actually on offer at mo!
