Hi ladies

I had a 7 week early loss nearly two weeks ago. Getting a very faint lines on the pregnancy tests so I think HcG very low. I was wondering how long after HcG had left people tended to ovulate? When should I start LH testing again?

Thanks

I am in the same boat and not far ahead of you so haven't ovulated yet, but I just wanted to share that I had negative hcg tests from last Friday and I started lh testing yesterday. My levels are very low. Mc bleeding started 16 days ago, mc itself was 12 days ago.
Interested in any responses from people who have tracked ovulation immediately after an mc.
I'm sorry for your loss op x

You too @Hankthehonk

I got a negative HcG today so will start LH testing tomorrow. My online research has not given a clear answer but I'm expecting to ovulate in the next 7 - 10 days. Here's to hoping for our 🌈🌈

I had a MMC in December and O'd exactly three weeks after the surgery. I still had faintly positive tests at the time too so you don't necessarily need a negative to ovulate.

So sorry to hear of your losses. I miscarried in January and bled for 3 weeks, I started tracking ovulation as soon as the bleeding stopped, expecting it to take weeks to come back as most advice was that it would take 6-8 weeks, but I actually ovulated really early, just a few days after so less than 4 weeks after the miscarriage itself. Really glad I had started testing early.

Hello! I am in a similar boat to you ladies, and I am so sorry for your losses!

I tested positive (first time ever) on a digital test on the 7th after 2 months TTC but then started bleeding on the 9th, ultimately testing negative on another digital test on the 11th. I should have been about 5 weeks when I had a blood test taken at my local clinic which came back low hCG and my doctor confirmed that it was a chemical pregnancy. My bleeding stopped after 5 days and I started LH testing a week later on the 20th, and I received peak on my digital kit on the 23rd with no high recording in between, so I believe I ovulated a day later than predicted but it was still a relief. I am around 6 DPO now and this morning my fiance's cat has been crawling all over me constantly, I woke up to her sleeping on my back (I sleep on my stomach), climbed up on my lap while I was eating lunch and also now while I am sitting down to put my shoes on for work, so I am hoping it is good news in a week's time!

I hope you all get some good news soon! I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you!

Best of luck to you! I have my fingers and toes crossed for you too, please do keep us updated if you're happy to share - some good news would be appreciated with all the bad floating around at the moment x

Hello ladies! How are you all doing? Checking in for your updates and also here to update you also?!

So, currently I am 12 DPO and I have been tackling a pretty nasty head cold (considering I haven't taken anything except small doses of paracetamol) since 8 DPO.

Today I took a digital test in the early morning but it came back negative. I read that the line tests are more sensitive so I POAS an hour ago and it has a very faint second line on it!

I am filled with so much excitement and so much anxiety at the same time. My period isn't due for another 2 days and I am nervous that it will be a repeat of last time.

Fingers crossed for us all~

omg that's exciting! I have my fingers crossed for you and hope you get stronger lines as the days go on. Thanks so much for the update xx

Hey guys. I hope you are all very close to getting your positives back now! I look forward to hearing all about them!

I did a digital test on the 6th which said "Pregnant - 1-2 Weeks" so I was pretty excited to get a digital confirmation since the stick test the morning before on the 5th was a little faint.

However, it is also with much sadness that I must say that I began bleeding quite heavily within a few hours of starting this afternoon (3 days overdue) and so I believe I have had another chemical pregnancy. I will be meeting with my GP on the 13th to discuss my options with him going forward and to also get some bloods taken again.

@arisufawkes So so sorry to read this post, couldn't read it without replying. Sending strength and I hope the GP appointment is useful and helps you move forward. What a rollercoaster of emotions you must have been through.
