When did you start to try again after miscarriage?
when did you start to ovulate?
how soon did you become pregnant?

I got pregnant last Christmas and miscarried 4th Jan and didn't ovulate again until start of Feb. Tried whole year but just couldn't seem to get pregnant again so we had ivf and I'm currently 11 weeks

hi Christmasmistletoe.
i had a MMC at 9 weeks 5 days, found out at my 12w scan back at end of November 23. Didn’t ovulate at all after it and got AF on Christmas Day for 5 days then finally got my peak on Friday/Saturday. After my loss all I wanted was to be pregnant, so was testing on OPKS everyday up until Christmas Eve, only had faint lines from the stopping bleeding from the MC until AF came, I know it’s frustrating and it’s hard, but keep testing, hopefully you’ll get your peak and BPF very soon! Xx

Mmc end of March this year. Started trying again ASAP. Like within a few days of bleeding stopping. I knew it was futile but wanted to keep the habit of regular trying going!

Pregnant again in May.

I was using the Premom opk sticks and app to track ovulation.
I missed April's as I read the hcg can stay in your body for many weeks after a mc, so my readings were positive for ovulation for about 5 or 6 weeks after. So wasn't really 100% sure on ovulation in April. But once I got a negative I knew it was a clean slate for May.

Took 2.5 years to get pregnant in the first place, so wasn't keen on waiting!

I read that you're 'more fertile' for several months after a mc. Studies are not clear on this however, my personal opinion is this. If your body is clever enough to realise a foetus isn't 100% well or has abnormalities, and causes a mc, it is also clever enough to realise "hey, this person is trying to get pregnant" so I feel like the following eggs that are released are the best they can be.
Stupid theory but I do feel we don't give our bodies credit.

Sorry you've had to go through a mc.
From what (extensive and obsessive) reading up I did, it's far more common than spoken about and generally speaking, fertility issues aside, is not likely to happen again.

I had 2 miscarriages and each time I had 1 period and then conceived. My period came 4 weeks after the miscarriage so no gap in my cycle. I now have a chubby little 7 week old sat on my lap!
