Can you ovulate earlier than normal after a chemical?

[susan_1981]

I had a chemical pregnancy last month. Got my BFP on 22 December and started spotting on 27 December which then turned into something like a period. Not as heavy as normal though but I did pass 2 large clots of blood (sorry for TMI) so I'm sure that I'm not pregnant anymore as my tests are negative now. But I did an ovulation test yesterday and the line was quite dark. Thought maybe it was some left over hormones from the chemical but then I did one this morning and it's even darker (but not quite positive yet) so I'm assuming this isn't the case. I'm only on CD8 which is way too early for ovulation with me, but if I didn't have the chemical and had my normal 27 day cycle, now would work out roughly around the time I would ovulate. So do you think that I could be ov'ing earlier this cycle because of my chemical?

Hi Ya,

It is very possible hun. A good friend of mine ovulated in the first week after her loss and now she is 13 weeks pregnant! The doc worked out her dates and she defo must of ov'd the first week after the M/C. I was laughing with her saying wow girl you didnt waste any time getting back to bd'ing! ha ha.

Good luck, id get bd'ing anyway, just to be on the safe side.

Im so sorry to hear about your loss too, I hope your ok and im sending lots of baby dust to you xx

Thanks girls. I feel fine. I had a miscarriage last December which I found out at my 12 week scan, baby died at 7 weeks. So we'd been trying for a year and I was on my 13th cycle so I was starting to wonder if it was a complete fluke that we got pregnant in the first place as I know some couples don't "match". But it happened again and I'm happy about that. Funnily enough, found out my husband has a lower than normal sperm count - he is a smoker and loves a beer - so we got him on the vitamins and he cut down on the smoking and drinking (stopped smoking for 2 weeks before xmas which I told him was pointless cos that's the worse time to give up with all the nights out and I was right, he started again) and I know it takes 3 months for the vits to have any effect on sperm and 3 months after he started taking them, I got my BFP. But he's stopped smoking again now which is good and we are on a month booze ban. So I think the vits have worked so I'm hoping there's no problem with me and I'm looking at my chemical as a practice run. I'm just glad that I actually fell pregnant again. And may be horrible to say, but I actually got more upset with each period that arrived than when I started bleeding with my chemical. It's just given me fresh hope so hopefully I'll be back with a bfp this cycle.

But I only stopped bleeding yesterday so obviously we haven't had sex so I'll need to nab him when he gets in from work tonight xxxx

Ive heard so many MC at 7 wks. There must be something about that time in the babies development where something can go wrong! I have 4 friends who have MC at 7 weeks, some were natural and some were m/mc like yours was.

This TTC business is all very hard and can be so frustrating. It does really get me down sometimes so I know how you feel. And your right to feel the way you do, id feel exactly the same.

Good luck for your next cycle and let us know how you get on.

Hi susan, im the exact same as you :S we got pregnant without trying, m/c at 9 weeks.. then nothing for year & half, then a chemical 2 months ago.. strange lol. but the chemical was a month after he'd started taking vits.. lets hope the vits work for us i ovulated 4 days earlier than normal.. but as other post say it kinds of depends on the person.

Hi I had a chemical 11 Dec 09, I dont chart so not sure exactly when I ovulated but I only had EWCM on CD9 and CD10. I'm CD25 today, lots of symptoms, justs started spotting and cramping though so might be AF coming

My husband is taking Wellman vitamins (although he's now switched to the wellman conception tablets), zinc and maca. I've heard selenium is very good for sperm and the wellman tablets have that so I highly recommend those. Good luck girls and let's hope it's implantation spotting you have notquitesure. It gets so frustrating all this trying to conceive. I'm surprised I'm still trying to be honest! After the time I've had, I think a little break would do me the world of good but as you all know, once you start trying, you can't stop!

Also, did an opk an hour ago and the line is a lot fainter than this morning which is really confusing cos I thought the LH surge was best in the afternoons and not the mornings. So I'm confused but CD7 is a bit early for me to ovulate I think (I'm not CD8 as I said above).
