TTC after chemical pregnancy

I had a MC this Jan , 6 weeks and 1 day. Then I had a CP last Tuesday, 4 weeks and 6 days. I finally stopped bleeding today. Two pregnancies and two MCs so far.

I would like to know what your ttc experiences were like after CP. I admit I felt so lost when I saw the line getting fainter and I have been feeling very low and anxious for the last 7 days. However it is not healthy and it is time to be positive! So, I will be trying again this month. That is why I decided to start this thread.

Your LH level is increasing gradually!! That is a good sign!!
The CB digital (with the blank circle, flashing/ static smile) - it is better to test it with FMU/SMU in the morning.

Edited

Thank you! That’s when I’ve been using them ☺️ Fingers crossed for the next few days. Hope the TWW isn’t too bad for you, are you holding off testing or going for it?

CD14 and things seem to be happening?!

I have started to test from 1 dpo with LH strips because I'd like to see the line progression. For both BFPs I got in the past, I started to see lines on 10 dpo. Will use CB digital (the one with week indicator) to test it if I see a line.

I have no idea because this is the first cycle I’ve used OPKs 🤷🏼‍♀️ The two times I have been pregnant it was from the ovulation window flo suggested (which is O day tomorrow) Will be interesting to see if the number rises now I guess?

Weird! Keep DTD?

GreenPickle · 05/07/2024 09:08

Still not sure if I’m ill or have ovulated 😂

it lines up with Clearblue giving me a static but OPKs were negative (but the highest they’ve been… unless I missed the peak between 2pm and 9pm on CD17??)

Usually LH surge is above 1 so I am assuming you are about to get your 1st 1 on premom. Test it again this afternoon!😁

OvuSense is 99% accurate based on the internet... I feel like it puts me back to square 1, not that it matters anyway. I have been BD'ing since the end of AF, 21 days of dtd so far, to be precise(tmi)... 😂This second cycle after CP is really dragging based on OvuSense if it is accurate! Will dtd for 5 more days just to be sure I AM NOT LONGER FERTILE this cycle!

If you are still not getting the peak, above 1, that is very likely to be the case, you got the peak on CD17. However it has happened before in your previous cycle, you ovulated later than you expected. I don't knw if it is the case for this cycle however for now, keep dtd every other day to make sure you are no longer in the fertile window.

OP posts:
LucyCL · 05/07/2024 09:23

Is it possible to ovulate 3 days later after you get a LH surge??? If this is the case, I stopped BD'ing after the O day and didn't get a BFP last cycle. I might have ovulated 3 days after the LH surge and missed the window? Am I making sense here?

So I found a photo from my BFP cycle which showed my peak day (ignore the one above it, it was a fake/bad batch of OPKs from a brand that has now vanished).

that was my second strip from that cycle (0.64).

the lighting is so bad on the 1+ stick😂

it looks like if I didn’t test the first time, I would have assumed not a peak?

similar to my cd17 one? I threw everything away from the cycle as didn’t think I’d need it 😂

I don’t think my cd17 is above 1 but I do think it’s darker than the number they gave it!

Hum... The test line on the second strip looks as dark as the control line. Are you going to assume that you've ovulated?
Based on BBT, it is still elevated. As days go by, if it stays like that, that means you ovulated. I'd wait for 4 more days to make sure it is true.

yeah I can only keep testing but I think I’m headed for another long cycle because of the MC. Not sure if I should pick up the CB again as I have some spare tests left or just focus on the OPKs and temping.

Sorry - all those images were from the first cycle where I got my BFP. Premom gave that strip a .6

If it's any consolation, I might be ovulating today based on OvuSense. This second cycle after CP is really dragging for me as well. I don't know what is happening either.
All we can do is to keep monitoring BBT and also LH levels for you. We should still be cautiously hopeful and positive!

I found this ☺️ https://www.reddit.com/r/TFABChartStalkers/comments/11a1lox/comment/jigyk8z/

I think you have already ovulated honestly. This is the thing with so many gadgets predicting your fertile window, they will also say different things!

What does your oral temp have you at?

I do remember on your previous poll about CP, there was a person saying not getting their peak but got pregnant at the end in the cycle after CP. 😀 I really hope this is your case!!!
My oral BBT remains pretty consistent for the past 3 days, around 36.93 degrees.

The joy of having so many gadgets!😂 Yes, we just have to take it day by day!!

what does mira say your PDG is?

my temp is high too which makes me think I have ovulated but like you said, a few more days to come to that conclusion because if it drops, it was more likely it is down to just being ill.

the lady said she had ‘high’ on her CB monitor all month and got pregnant! I think she’s around 13 weeks now so it was a sticky one!

fertility friend has me at 3dpo so I will carry on testing LH but will also probably do a HCG test at about 10dpo but I’m not totally confident yet.

Unfortunately my FMU and SMU were both diluted. So all my figures are super low on Mira chart. I plan to do a Day 21 progesterone test to confirm ovulation. 9/7/24 will be the day to test it.

I think even diluted wee should be ok so maybe you have yet to ovulate? Who knows!

it’s easy getting obsessed with TTC but try not to get in too deep ❤️ lots of gadgets with conflicting info does take its toll!

ultimately, having sex every day/other day throughout the month will max our chances no matter what comes up on LH strips!

I would just keep testing everyday and see what happens!

Yes, those OPKs and gadgets will only help us to predict our fertile windows. We should not be obsessed about the figures and instead we should focus on the trend. What is more important, we still have our life to enjoy!
I will not dwell on this anymore and I am also breaking record for BD'ing every day in a cycle (This is the cycle which I have BD'ed the most in all my cycles😅) Don't look back and keep BD'ing until AF is here. Or a BFP!
Fingers crossed for both of us!!!!!! We can do it!💙
