Ovulation after miscarriage?

183 replies

Skl2021 · 31/10/2021 20:36

I had a MMC nearly two weeks ago. Miscarried naturally. Took a pregnancy test today which is negative however my opks is positive. Does this mean I'm ovulating already as theres no HCG now for it to pick up?! I'm also still spotting on and off. Any help would be great.

@Doodledeedum I got some pains was convinced I was coming on but no nothing yet I'm only 4 weeks post miscarriage next week. So could be any time after then! IV been using opks and they have been dark past few days so I might be ovulating?! So if that's the case I won't be due on yet xx

@Skl2021 I've never used OPKs and feel like getting them just to see if I can understand what is going on but I'm worried il get obsessed with them

@Doodledeedum I used them as my periods and ovulation were all over the shop so wanted to try and pin point ovulation as I couldn't be arsed having sex regularly all month 🤣🤦 but yes I do get obsessed 🙈 just wanted to see if anything was happening. If I am ovulating now I should expect af in around 12 days if my body is back to normalish. Just wanted an idea when af would arrive so I'm not guessing but it might not work that way 🤣 x

@Skl2021 yes! I had some reddish wet wipes after visiting the loo yesterday but i tried not to get too excited and then by the time I was going to bed it was starting.
I feel two things:
One -
Omg I hate seeing it because all I can think of is what it meant the last time I saw this
Two: thank god my body is doing what it should and I can begin the journey of time moving on physically and if and when im ready I know im having cycles....

@Doodledeedum yes I know what u mean but I'm glad your getting somewhere now. You can move on a bit and hopefully start trying again when your ready ✨ I'm hoping mine starts in the next week or so 🤞 I need to move on.

@Skl2021 I think you will. A friend of mine MC at same time as me and had D&C - her negatives didn't come till about a week after me and she's still waiting.
But your OPKs are giving you some signs too. I don't think I ovulated this month at all

@Doodledeedum yes I just want to see a negative! I'm hoping I don't have anything retained. They are very faint like squinters so I'm hoping that's ok. Yes I'm hoping there reliable and I have ovulated. Stick of being stuck In limbo. Just want af to arrive get through it and try again. Hopefully my body agrees 🤞😩

@Doodledeedum how are you? X

@Skl2021 hey, I'm ok. I had a very wobbly Sunday night and Monday I was seriously down... have a few things going outside of the MC which could be distracting but also an added worry. But I am slowly feeling a bit better. Period has been heavy but easing off
Definitely heavier for longer last time for me. This MC I did lose a lot of blood on the day of so I don't know if that has meant next cycle wouldn't be drastically bad.....

How are you ?? X

@Doodledeedum sorry your having a rough time. Hope things get better soon for you 💕 glad it's not to bad for you! Are you trying again this cycle? I'm doing ok I'm loosing my mind a bit waiting around for something to happen 🤦🤪 I just want to get going again. I'm not the most patient person x

Doodledeedum · 17/11/2021 09:43

@Skl2021 I'm not sure. I feel like I'm not ready to... but if I start getting towards when I think il
Ovulate or see any CM I may gear up for it .... currently I'm thinking not and I just need a BREAK and I mean that in TTC and life way lol.
Then the devil on my shoulder opens his big mouth and tells me I'm getting older and I can't wait / or 'what if that's why you keep losing them?' The little prick....

You know what it is?? I'm ready to try and I'm ready to be a mum.... I'm just not ready or prepared for another loss ( not that anyone ever is but last time I felt like ' ok let's do this, I'm ready for come what may, il handle it'

Argh I'm sorry- any signs of the tests showing less HCG? How are the OPKs looking? Because I know you thought you might be ovulating so it could be a week or so left to go now?? X

@Doodledeedum yes I know what u mean. When I think I ovulated over the weekend it was so hard not to try again. My body was like screaming at me to do it but we both agreed to wait so it was torture. I feel like iv missed out on a chance if u know what I mean then if I don't fall pregnant I keep thinking what it id of tried and not waited. It's such a head fuck 😩 Yes I can't even think about what if I lose another it would destroy me but if we don't try we will never know! Yes if I ovulated and my.body is kinda back to normal I would expect af next week 🤞 I'm just so sick of waiting I want this done so I can move on. Feel like my period Wil signal a fresh start if u get me. X

Doodledeedum · 17/11/2021 10:31

@Skl2021 I completely get you! It's a new cycle and start for everything, a fresher beginning....
Even if you can't and don't get over these losses it means moving forward in some way....
I hope you're get that light soon.

Il probably chew your ear off if I see I'm ovulating again about what to do....
my app says ( and I don't listen to it much) I'm due to ovulate around Xmas so I'm hoping I'll be to preoccupied/tired and wanting to have some drinks to actually try. I was due with my first just before Xmas too... so I think Il be in a vulnerable state of mind come closer to the time. I don't know what to expect

@Doodledeedum yes exactly I feel like this miscarriage is just going on and on until I get that fresh start. It's draining to be stuck in limbo. Aww yes that would be good timing as u will be pre occupied with other things. Do u use opks? Oh I'm sorry it will be a difficult time for you. Sometimes I think the milestone moments are harder. I'm still thinking oh this week should of been this and that. It's hard. You can chew my ear of don't worry it's nice to have someone to talk too!! X

@Doodledeedum I'm a bit all over the place. I have started my period today. So I did ovulate last week as expected. How are you doing xx

OP posts:
Doodledeedum · 25/11/2021 15:17

I know that feeling! I'm ok.... getting close to ovulating I think and getting that 'head fuck' you talked about where I know I should wait because I'm not emotionally ready yet but I keep thinking 'what if!'
I'm busy with work this week and so exhausted that even if we do the deed it will be forced and I don't want that. Trying the 'what will be will be' mode as much as I can for now
The news on new guidelines with progesterone has made me feel all sorts of ways too....

So the fresh start is here for you .... I know it's crap and prob triggering but what are your plans from here? X
Would feel good to hand hold through this!

@Doodledeedum I totally understand I'm sat here thinking I could of been pregnant now if we didn't skip the last ovulation. But we said we would wait. Do you not think the news is good then? I don't really know alot about progesterone but I'm glad it could help people after 1 loss now instead of 3. We are definitely trying again this month just need to see if ovulation happens or when it decides to arrive. I think I have my hopes set too high on falling pregnant straight away which I know I shouldn't do but I don't know how else to get through this pain. X

OP posts:
Doodledeedum · 25/11/2021 16:15

@Skl2021 can totally relate to that too 😞 and each time I've 'given up' or had a break it's happened.
I'm happy they've bought in the new guidelines but both my MC have been missed and bleeding started after the loss so I don't know that progesterone would help me if that's what I'm prone to .... and I'm scared il have to fight for it from the off..... so that's why I don't know what to think.

Skl2021 · 25/11/2021 16:23

@Doodledeedum yes usually is the way isn't it. Oh yes I understand what u mean. I had bleeding this time from about 7 weeks and IV never bled in previous pregnancies so I knew something was wrong. I stil think people will have to fight for it even with the guidelines it's hard to get any help as it is. Do u feel ready to try again then or is your head still not in it? Xx

OP posts:
Doodledeedum · 25/11/2021 17:01

@Skl2021 I agree it is hard and I feel
Lucky just to have gotten the blood tests
My head is ready and looking for all the signs and being logical. My heart can not take it right now.
Im ready to be a mummy but im not ready for another loss ( never ready but was prepared enough to give it another go last time)
Im wondering if I see a few cycles if il get fed up of just expecting a period and want to give it a go..... I say this now. Il see what happens in the next few days 😂 🤦🏽‍♀️ 🤦🏽‍♀️

Doodledeedum · 25/11/2021 17:50

Argh @Skl2021 guess who just went loo and spotted EWCM 😢
My head is all over the place and already googled how soon I need to do the the deed if I want to get it in before the window closes...... argh argh argh
