Miscarriage at 10 weeks - when will I ovulate

[Itwillbeok86]

I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks last week and feeling pretty wobbly still. I heard a heartbeat at 8 weeks and it appears to have stopped growing at 9 weeks. Its so devastating but you have to focus on the future and staying hopeful and focusing on all the good things in your life. I am feeling physically fine now, and have stopped bleeding and know i have had a full miscarriage as had a scan to confirm (natural because it all happened quickly ahead of D&C). So I need to do a pregnancy test to confirm no more hcg, and then is it true you can ovulate pretty soon after that? Is there anyway of finding out why I miscarried? Was it low progestrone I am wondering? Or was it just on of those things?
Thanks ladies! xx

Sorry for your loss, OP. You would normally count the MC as if it was your period, so you'd expect to ovulate about 2 weeks after it began. No guarantees but that is what normally happens. You are usually advised to wait until you have your next period, then you can start TTC again if you want to.

Thanks Birdie. I know of some people who got pregnant 2 weeks after miscarriage- do you know why this is ill advised? Is there a worry that tissue may be left inside uterus?

I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks last summer and was told by the consultant to wait 2 months before TTC again. He said my uterus would be weaker and if I got pregnant again in that time the risk of miscarriage would be higher. I waited and conceived in October and am now 20 weeks

I’m in a similar situation so sending hugs.
I’d expect to ovulate around two weeks after HCG gets to zero.
Some people say you’re super fertile straight after, some people say your uterus needs tone to rest and rebalance. I’m not sure who’s right but you’ll hear arguments both ways.
Medics prefer you to have had a proper period for dating purposes rather than anything else.
I’m IVF so have been told wait for the mc bleed, have a normal period and then try again the second period (will be April). Clinic won’t let me try sooner die to wanting body to get back to optimum health. If I was doing it via sex tbh I’d be having lots of it, as soon as I’d stopped bleeding.

So sorry for your loss.
I was told to wait a month.

they say wait until you have had a period, but its only for dating.
Some people ovulate 2 weeks after the bleed like a normal cycle and others take a lot longer.
I mc in feb last year, took another month to get pregnant, mc again and then fell pregnant for the fourth time 2-3 weeks after that!
Currently 40+3 but that's going by a mix of dating from my last bleed (the mc) and measurements

I've heard people say that you've higher fertility right after a mc, and other say worse fertility

Thanks all!

Echomama- did you find out why you miscarried 3 times?
Its so hard to know whether to wait or not.. i feel good in myself and my miscarriage was over in 2hrs.. but I have a large ovarian cyst and wonder if I should get that removed / wait for it shrink down first? it doesnt effect preganncy apparently..

Sorry to read about your miscarriage. I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks at the beginning of February.

Ovia took the bleed as my period and predicted ovulation 2 weeks after that (I have a 28 day cycle). I’m pretty sure I ovulated 10 days into my ‘cycle’ instead of 14. But to be honest I don’t know what is going on with my body at the moment so who knows! I think I may have caught again but still a bfn but hormones are definitely doing funky things so time will tell!

As for the should you wait or not. The scientific evidence I read said the only reason they say to wait is for dating purposes, and that physically your body is able to cope, and seems more fertile, post miscarriage during the 1st trimester. My GP and a midwife (family member) certainly weren’t concerned we were going to TTC straight away, as long as mentally I was okay to.

Just two miscarriages. But nope, just one of those things I guess. Had to make my peace that it wasn't meant to be and not viable for life.
I'd say if the cyst isn't bothering anything and you're eager to try again ASAP then don't worry with it, but if you wanted it gone for peace of mind then try to get it sorted 😊

Sorry about your loss

I got pregnant the month after my MC but it didn't stick. Started bleeding literally the day after my positive test. That probably doesn't mean anything but it couldn't hurt to wait a little bit

Thank you everyone for this brilliant advise! Mumsnet is great! :)
I did a pregnancy test this morning and it says 1-2 weeks pregnant so HCG levels are clearly droppping, just need to wait a few more days to clear out I suspect. I think I'll start trying as soon as I ovulate again as I feel strong in my body.. will let you all know how I get on!
Sending love to you all
