I was just wondering what other people have experienced? When should I start opk's and checking for ovulation etc? I know everyone will be different but what have other people experienced?

[Wishing2011]

I OP I have just had the same thing happen. Sorry you are going through this. My midwife told me you can O as soon as 2 weeks after.

[Guest_V's mummy_*]

Thanks wishing.

hey wishing, if you don't mind me asking- was this your #1 or #2 bub?

[Wishing2011]

Oh sorry I didnt realise it was you V's Mummy . I was on my iphone when I replied.. How are you going.. This is our #1 bub.. Been ttc for a long time and thought we FINALLY got it.. Oh well.. We kind of did but lost the poor little thing. hopefully it wont be long before we both have a sticky one are you going to wait before TTC again? We're going to have the U/S and blood tests tomorrow to see how my body is going as I'm still spotting. If all looks good I'm not going to wait cus with my track record its going to take ages before we get a BFP again anyway.

[Guest_V's mummy_*]

We're not waiting either. :-). I really really hope we both get BFP's nice and quick. This is #2 for us. We had numerous bumps TTC DD. imagine my surprise when we fell first go with #2! KNew it was to good to be true. Sigh!

[Wishing2011]

Ooh so your first little one took you a while?

I know how you feel. I was waiting to get past 12 weeks to even go to the shops and look at anything because it just felt so surreal after waiting so long.. Hopefully we'll both be in the next DIG together

There is hope though. My mum told me she was pregnant 6 weeks after her miscarriage. Although I dont think she had problems falling pregnant like I have with either my brother and myself.. We'll see...

[PurpleChicken]

Not what you want to hear, but after I miscarried at 6 weeks a few years ago, it took my body a long time to get back on track. My cycles were up towards the 70 day mark and slowly started cycling back over the next 12 months so I don't think I was ovulation very regularly, if at all.

But I have heard that others have fallen pregnant the next month after their miscarriage. It all depends on how your body reacts.

Did you have a D&C or MC naturally? I often wonder if it makes a difference either way with how quickly your fertility returns as I MC'd naturally.

[Guest_V's mummy_*]

Hi purple chicken! Thanks for sharing- I am going natural because it had already started when I had the scan to confirm so I just figured I would let it do it's thing since it was already doing it. I'll be having a scan next Thursday to make sure there is no tissue left. If there is, I will be getting a D & C. Hopefully it won't take to long for my cycle to get back to normal, but I'm glad to hear it isn't uncommon if it does do I won't worry to much if it takes a couple of months.
Wishing it only took 6 months, but we lost twins and 2 chemical pregnancies in that time. I'm sorry it is taking so long for you. That must be so hard. I don't know how you do it. I really really hope you get your BFP quickly this time. It must be so heart breaking to get pg after all that time and then lose the bub. I'm so sorry!

V's mummy and Wishing2011, looks like I am joining you in this thread rather than Nov DIG. Had u/sound again yesterday. Should have been 8 weeks but, despite gestational sac and yolk growing a little since a fortnight ago still nothing in there - no foetal poles let alone anything with a heartbeat. GS only measured 12.4mm. So frustrating because if it measured 25mm and was empty then they could have categorically stated blighted ovum and organised a D&C straight away, but only 12.4mm so stuck knowing things aren't progressing anywhere like they should be, but unable to have any assistance to hurry this along so we can start again. HCG levels also tested - if they had dropped that would be the confirmation everything is over, but frustratingly they increased, but only from 1917 on 10 March to 5400 on 29 March. Certainly a galaxy away from doubling every 48 hours but because there was a rise they couldn't offer any conclusions. This constant limbo is awful I know things aren't right and can't do anything about it. Another u/sound on Monday - if it shows no progress over 3 days they'll admit me for D&C straight away. I can't work, I can't study (am in my final semester of a law degree and am miles behind due to the constant appointments and worry).

Also our first pregnancy and at 37 years old I just want to move ahead.

Sorry to hijack your thread V's mummy - am interested to follow up with how long it will take to ovulate after all this. We'll all be jumping ummm back in the saddle(!) together.

Hope you're both doing OK. I am sure I will get there once I have some sort of resolution to my current situation (and will try to keep sane btn now and Monday!!!)

[Guest_V's mummy_*]

2puzzled I am so sorry!!! God this sucks big time! If I had to go to work right now, I don't think I would cope. Luckily I am home with my DD still and I feel so lucky for that. I also feel for both of you ladies as it is your first bub. I know losing a baby is terrible which ever number he/she is, but my DD distracts me and I can look at her and remember how lucky I am to even have one. I found it so much harder with our first losses as I was just waiting for a baby! ANY BABY! I am so so so sorry you have to go through this. At least we have each other for support at any rate. I am crossing all my fingers and toes that we have BFP's ASAP!
