Ovulation after pregnancy loss

Hi everyone
I sadly had a mc which started with bleeding on 1st Jan and I believe I miscarried completely on 2nd Jan this year. It was confirmed as a complete miscarriage on 4th Jan with a scan. I bled until Saturday 7th and I have been taking hcg tests everyday which are getting lighter - as of today, they are basically squinters. I was 6weeks 2 days and things happened quickly and with little pain.
I'd like to try again ASAP as my husband works away and it's difficult to plan these things.
I have a very regular cycle - usually 27 or 28 days but I've not really tracked ovulation before so not sure when I typically ovulate - I guess probably around day 13 but not sure.
I am wondering if people can share when they ovulated after their mc? I've become confused by reading online as some have said 2 weeks later but was this 2 weeks after bleeding started or 2 weeks after bleeding stopped?
Or am I unlikely to ovulate until 2 weeks after HCG has fully gone? I am getting myself confused. I can only see ranges online but not sure if the range is smaller for your next period if the mc was early.
I'm going to track BBT and use OPKs too but I'm just interested in others experiences. Could this happen as early as this Sunday as this was 2 weeks from the start of the MC?
Also, I already have one ds who is 18 months and I'm still breastfeeding. No idea if this has any bearing on things but it was a straight forward pregnancy and birth with him.
Thanks so much in advance!

Congratulations on your rainbow babies!! My little boy arrived at 39 weeks a little unexpectedly - was convinced I’d go to 41 or 42 weeks but nope. Waters broke and out he came!

hes 3 weeks old now and can’t believe it

Hi everyone. I’ve been reading this whole post from start to finish for the last hour and a half 🙈.
I‘m 34, found out on Monday that I’d had a missed miscarriage, thought I was 8 weeks, baby only measured 6 weeks, first baby 😔.
I had medical management on Wednesday, still bleeding quite a lot but hoping that’s normal.
I’ve bought all my ovulation tracking kits ready to use in about 2 weeks?! as desperate to start trying again, praying the medical management has worked properly.
Just wanted to say how much hope your posts have given me 💖. I’ve felt so so empty and thinking so negatively but your posts have given me so much hope 🥺 x

Congrats @OhGodIAmTired! I was convinced I'd go over and she came over 2 weeks early!

Congrats to you too @LMM91x - enjoy all the cuddles 🥰

@Holly0609 I am so sorry that you had to experience this and hope you are doing okay. There are many of us on the thread who have gone on to have rainbow babies after loss and hopefully that will be you soon enough! Please be kind to yourself and please do comment here if you want to talk!
