Ovulation after chemical pregnancy? VERY LOW LH

Hey all! Sadly I had a chemical pregnancy a few weeks back in late July. I bled for 9 and cramped for days. Once the bleeding had stopped completely, I started ttc again as per the go ahead from the doctor. I've not used ovulation tests before, but wanted to try now to see where my cycle is at so I would know when the best chance of 'getting lucky' would be.

I haven't peaked or surged or whatever they call it and Flo and PreMom both got my fertile window and O day wrong, so I'm lost. I've noticed that my LH is very low - on other posts people mention 20 and 50 and I've literally not even hit 1. Am I using different tests or am I well and truly broken after this loss? Oh. Also the numbers fluctuate up and down throughout the day and week, is that normal?

Can't post my photo for some reason so here's the LH results. They're all negative, obviously.

CD13 evening - 0.34
CD15 morning - 0.08
CD16 morning - 0.18
CD18 morning - 0.09
CD19 morning- 0.10
CD19 afternoon- 0.20
CD20 morning - 0.13
CD20 afternoon - 0.05
CD21 morning - 0.24
CD21 evening - 0.27
CD22 morning - 0.58
CD22 afternoon - 0.27
CD22 evening - 0.30

Feeling very lost and confused. Any help and advice will be most appreciated. Sending sticky baby dust to you all.

In my experience of these, I would say you haven't ovulated yet. As you have just had a chemical pregnancy (and I'm very sorry to hear that) your body could be out of sync and just needs more time to get back to your regular pattern. I don't think I ovulated the month after my miscarriage if I remember correctly.

Did you ovulate regularly on day 14 of a 28 day(ish) cycle before?

I have a friend who was struggling to conceive turns out she didn't get her LH surge until day 30 as she was having 60 days cycles. Are your cycles usually on the longer side?

Likewise, I've used these in the past when TTC and some months, randomly, I'd ovulate early say day 11 or so. Were you checking before day 13? Perhaps you've missed the LH surge.

Please try not to panic, if your period comes before your surge just try to catch it again next month. You've got this.

Sending lots if positivity your way xx
