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.

@Skl2021 aw I'm sorry, I'm ok, haven't been amazing but plodding on to get to the other side. No tracking at all this month. My brain needs a break

@Doodledeedum yes I had a breakdown Christmas day. Don't know were it came from but just couldn't stop it. Totally caught me off guard. Yes that sounds like a good idea. I wish I could switch off and not track or anything 😩🙈 are you trying this month? Or having a complete break? X

OP posts:
Doodledeedum · 28/12/2021 20:48

@Skl2021 the break only comes in the form of me actively not writing/noting/tracking on any apps, not researching anything and not keeping an eye on my CD. BUT it lingers in the back of my head. I'm not hearing any BDs and just doing what we do. I'm stepping back as much as I can, today is the first day since the mc that I have felt open- with my heart to it all. I know I will still go up and down but it's nice to feel an excitement again.

I'm sorry about Xmas- that's bad timing but maybe it was it being Xmas and how different it is to what your expected. That's what made me cry a lot on the day.

I got a letter to say I still have a pelvic ultrasound booked so I'm going to that in jan. ( doctor said he would cancel it but clearly didn't )

@Doodledeedum that might be just what u need and it sounds like it's working if your feeling like that! Yes we all have ups and downs but it sounds like your making progress!
I read loads of stories about people falling pregnant straight away after miscarriage so I think my hopes where set way to high and It all came crashing down! Then when af arrived Xmas Eve it just got to much the timing couldn't of been worse! I think the disappointment hits so much harder when af arrives now.
What's the ultrasound for? Is it to see if anything is wrong? X

Doodledeedum · 28/12/2021 21:36

@Skl2021 I think that's exactly why I really fell down a hole of grief because I think I was expecting it to all go the way it 'should' and it just wasn't!!

Il recap Smile after my mc my doc sent me for bloods and said a scan can be done too but that's all she could offer after ' only two' MMC .... so bloods came back fine but the doc who called me about them said he looked at my scan from MC and uterus looked as it should so no point in the scan so would cancel it- he obviously didn't but I'm not going to fight it- il go- can only tell me what he told me at best/worst!

@Doodledeedum yes might aswell go for it then hopefully there's nothing wrong. It's such a shame that there's no help until 3 miscarriages it's a horrible thing to go through one time never mind 3. X

Doodledeedum · 28/12/2021 21:43

@Skl2021 exactly and I said my mental health couldn't take trying for a third time with NO answers - when it could be something simple. The doc who called regarding my bloods said it seemed like pure bad luck. Who knows. Nice to feel some hope today. I don't know where it's come from but I'm going to try and embrace it.

@Doodledeedum I don't blame you I don't know how I would handle it happening again. Yes absolutely embrase it! Glad your feeling better and bit more positive that's lovely to hear! Hope your scan goes ok!

Hey @Skl2021 I'm ok. Definitely feeling better and more driven and positive whilst being aware that I could come back down but making the most of this feeling so meditating with it and lots of feeling my affirmations.... I'm on a TWW thread at the moment and been testing like a maniac since 6dpo. I think im 11 today and I tested. Im too scared to post it on the group though as I saw a serious serious squinter this morning and did another with the same FMU to double check but I just about saw a line on that (but I had to move it around a lot )--- so I am now wondering if it's a false positive or a naff test strip or what. I've edited the photo on my photos app and so I can now see the line and it was within 5 mins. I don't know what to think.... shall I show you or do you think from what I've said it's a null and void one? I know I can test tomorrow again but im so scared todays was a false positive that I just want to live in my fantasy land for today....

Sorry for the verbal diarrhoea .... I feel like I can finally spill it!

@Doodledeedum I can see it straight away on the unedited without zooming in 🙊🙌🤞 has it not got darker as it has dried? I don't feel like that's an evap!! 🤞🤞 X

Doodledeedum · 04/01/2022 22:03

@Skl2021 I haven't looked for it... and the second test had nothing on it? Or at least I thought it did but looked nothing like this one did?! It was there for a brief moment

My second pregnancy the day before I got a faint positive I had a line appear and disappear and thought I was going mad...
i dunno
Let me go hunt it down now....

Doodledeedum · 04/01/2022 22:07

@Skl2021 no, it's stark white. I never look after the time in case I get a false positive

Last month when I was testing and told
U, I had a few lines after the five mins but knew it was not a positive as it had passed the mark

Now I really don't know what to think 😞 it's likely a negative.
I've got more strips and a first response...

Skl2021 · 04/01/2022 22:15

@Doodledeedum I can't believe it's disappeared that was a definite line! I understand why people don't test as your hopes are up and down. I dont even know what to say. You will have to test again tomorrow and see? What dpo are you now? Maybe save the frer for now. I'm praying it is positive for you 🙌✨ x

OP posts:
Doodledeedum · 04/01/2022 22:18

I can JUST about see it if I do some strong edits in the lighting with it. BUT like I say I don't trust a line wouldn't appear if you know what I mean?

I think jm 11dpo today ... so I thought a FR would be ok tomorrow... as 12dpo is supposed to be a good day. I feel to live in the bubble till AF appears and at least then il be in my own amazing world until then?
I honestly don't know what to think :( don't know how anyone waits and sort of serves me right for not waiting,
Also my AF symptoms have changed so much - I haven't had sore boobs... unless I am positive... tonight my boobs hurt, 😭 @Skl2021

Doodledeedum · 04/01/2022 22:22

@Skl2021 I mean the photo
Might as well be black 😆

@Doodledeedum yes I wouldn't want to trust it now and they are notorious for evaps! But yours looked different 🤔 yes i think it would show at 12 dpo but depends if you want to waste an expensive test if it is negative? I usually use the expensive one when I have lines on cheapies 🙈 I say stay in your Amazing positive bubble until something happens 🤞 I'm the same I couldn't wait I test stupidly early aswell xx
