Ovulation after mc

[Aayla]

I started light bleeding on Sept 5 at 5+5. It was confirmed on Sept 11 that I had miscarried. I had an ultrasound on Sept 6 and my doc told me there was no sign of a sac and they assumed I had already passed it. I started the heavy bleeding and passing clots Sept 13. So even thought they say I had passed it I don't think I did until the 13th. I bled heavily for 2 days and as of yesterday it slowed down back to the light flow I had.
I don't ovulate on my own and I need femara. But I know it isn't unheard of for the body to realize what it is supposed to do once it has become pregnant.
I have read of many women ovulating right away but I am confused on the timeline. The earliest is 2 weeks after miscarriage. But what would be the day 1 to count that. Is the day you start bleeding the miscarriage or is it the day you pass everything? Or is it the day you stopped bleeding that counts as day 1 (purely for figuring out you ovulated 14 days after the miscarriage).

I am not getting my hopes up. And for charting purposes FF has put Sept 5 as day 1 and I am to take a final hpt on Oct 2 (cd28) as per my doc (who times everything based on a 28 day cycle even though mine are 35 days).
Oh and I normally ovulate on cd17 when taking femara

Edit: my hcg on Sunday Sept 6 was 365. On Friday Sept 11 it was already down to 31. I suspect it is already close to 0 now but have not confirmed.

Hi Aayla so sorry you are experiencing a loss. My heart goes out to you since this is all so soon.

I read you count CD1 as the first day you heavy bleed in your MC. I my FF and My Cycles app I just noted it was a MC and I didnt even think about when I would O.

AF came 28 days after my MC I normally have 26 day cycles. I think that was anovulatory though bc I didnt have any CM changes and didnt feel O. I just recently O on 9/13 and I know bc I felt it.

Its normal up to 10weeks for AF to come on but from what I experienced and read if you have an X number of cycle days AF will show up the same time.

Once everything has passed is counted as CD1. For example, with my mmc, I bled for a total of 28 days. If I would have counted when I first started bleeding as CD1 my period would have been almost 6 weeks late. On July 12th I passed the sac but I continued to bleed for 3 more days until I lost one last huge clot. That must have been all of it because right after I passed that clot, the bleeding subsided and I got my period exactly 21 days later (which is normal for me). I guess it depends on how long it takes you to pass everything. Some people pass the sac and all the afterbirth in the same day and usually stop bleeding right after so that would be counted as CD1 but if you don't pass everything the day you pass the sac, CD1 will be delayed until you do.

As to your other question, I do not know if I ovulated the first cycle after my mmc because I wasn't following with opks. My first period was really light and scant, only lasting for 3 days. I take it that my uterine lining hadn't built back up since the miscarriage with that first period because my second period was much heavier. I'm sure I ovulated my second cycle based on opks I was using.

So for the last 2 days I have had the exact same symptoms that I did after O and fertilization. It is how I knew I was pregnant long before a test could tell me. These came on suddenly. And I am so confused. I don't know the liklihood that I could experience spontaneous ovulation and I don't know if it could happen sooner than when I would ovulate from femara and only days after everything passed. My levels dropped dramatically last week before I passed everything so it wouldn't surprise me if they were at or near 0 the next day.
And this is now 3 days past when we dtd.

I had a miscarriage last year on September 4th. I am so sorry for your loss and I hope that you have all the love possible surrounding you in these hard times.
I honestly don't know if I have ovulated at all since my mc (I have PCOS) but I think I MIGHT have this month.

Either way, temping and yoga will be fantastic help for you (temping for tracking and yoga to lower your stress to allow your body to regulate again). If you need me at all, I'm just a hop, a toss and a stone skip away.

My chart this month ughhhh I hope it means I O'd

I have amazing support thank you. We announced early and had to announce the miscarriage and everyone has been so great. I am healing faster emotionally than physically. Lol I want to ttc right away.
I have a friend bringing me tests so I can test in the morning. I am hoping for a BFN (who knew I would hope for that). If it is then my levels are very low (testing with a frer) and I very well may have spontaneously ovulated. I have pcos as well so it is unlikely but to have the exact same symptoms as before?

Your chart looks good. It looks like you had the ovulation spike.

I'm glad that you have the amazing support I hope that BFN shows up for you !!! My levels dropped rapidly after mine and I had BFN's within a week and a half.

I am soooo hoping this is my month. I spiked in the past few days and have had some pink and red spotting. Fingers x.

PCOS is a fickle brat and I don't know if you've tried it but white peony tea with licorice tincture and vitex/chaste berry vitamins are a god send at helping with cycle regulation after miscarriages (and in general).

I haven't tried anything extra but I will keep those in mind. Thanks. I hope you get your BFP this month. Keep me posted!
