Is it possible to ovulate with hcg still in your system?

[Lucieblue]

I miscarried at 7 weeks 2 days, 2 weeks ago and stopped bleeding about 6 days ago, I'm still testing positive for hcg, and I thought I should start testing for ovulation now too just so that I don't miss it, I know the advice is to wait, but I really want to start as soon as possible!

Yesterday and today I've had positive ovulation tests, just checked on a pregnancy test and that's still positive so I'm doubting the ovulation tests now.
Thank you for any help.

@Lucieblue hey sorry to hear about your loss. I lost 4 weeks 1 day ago. It took about 2 and 1/2 weeks to stop positive pregnancy tests. I was testing really high LH at the time too. I have been trying again too, trying keep to every second day, as I cannot trust any of the tests at the moment. I’ve only started logging my LH tests this week, and it is declining. I have no idea where I am in my cycle, if I am even ovulating or when my periods due , but on the off chance I wouldn’t want to miss trying so DTD I think is the only sure way you can know. 🤦‍♀️not that it’s a bad thing. 😂I’ll attach a pic of last few days LH tests but I just don’t know what is going on, it’s so hard and I know how desperate you feel as I did too. It’s starting to ease off a little now though times the best healer. X

Ooh, sorry for your loss too 😔

I know the advice is to wait until hcg stops, but that's so hard..
It's frustrating not knowing what's going on in our body.
I guess you're right- it's just going to take some time to heal and also figure it all out..
I'm going to just keep dtd and hoping for the best 👀
Hmm, that does look like your tests are getting lighter- I wonder if that does mean you ovulated?! Aaah so very confusing!!

I hope we both get our 🌈 baby very soon xx

@Lucieblue ❤️I think it’s the only reliable thing is DTD at the moment as we have no idea when our period will come. Thing is I’ve never had a peak apart from when I was still testing positive for being pregnant, so I don’t think I could’ve ovulated. Unless the tests are just rubbish. I’ve read some people test all month and never get a peak but become pregnant , so miss the testing window or the tests haven’t worked. It’s all so confusing. We weren’t even trying before, so it’s ironic that I’ve now turned into an obsessive maniac trying to work what’s going on out. I just hope that if all the trying we’ve done since the loss hasn’t worked, that my period comes soon, so at least it will hopefully reset and can then start again. Good luck with trying I hope we get those BFP’s soon. ❤️xx

Oh! Gosh, can't even rely on the strips then 😩 I've read that temping is a reliable method, once you get your period, you could try that!

Oh, bless you.. I am sort of the same.. I was just leaving it to fate before and now I'm obsessed.. got so use to the idea of being a mama..

I think I'm going to focus on the gym and eating right for a while..
Virtual hugs! 😊🙏🏼 positive thoughts ⭐✨🌈

@Lucieblue I will keep you posted on any updates if any…. Waiting for AF to turn up any day now… so you can at least know what to expect. Good luck on the meantime. Take it easy and I think you’re def in the right place getting back to gym etc. I’ve not been back since the mc and I really should as it makes you feel so much better, considering I was a 4-5 times a week gym goer it’s quite unlike me . Xx

Sorry for your losses. I don’t do LH tests but track BBT and ovulated while still having a positive PT (and a small amount of retained tissue from the MMC). So yeah, pretty sure it’s possible to ovulate, although idk if it’s possible to actually get pregnant (in my case the positive test was due to the retained tissue, and the sonography said that would probably prevent a new pregnancy, but I didn’t get any more detail than that)

Oh, please do .. 🙏🏼✨ praying for something positive

I'll keep you posted also ☺️

Yes, the gym is a good place to forget what's troubling you, if you feel ready to return I hope it helps you... it can feel like taking a bit of control of your body and life, for me the last few days.. that's been very helpful ☺️

Oh, I'm sorry for your loss also :( I hope you're coping ok.

Oh, I see! I haven't used a thermometer but I think that would be the better way to test in these situations if the LH strips can show positive for hcg

Thank you for your reply ☺️
