when to try?

I think health people advise you to wait till atleast one cycle after but i think do what you feel is right if you feel you are ready then thats fine. We had a mmc in april and got pregnant in may i think i may have had what seemed like a normal cyale in between but it wasnt a normal one as i only bled for a couple of days.
I used ovulation strips just to give me an idea of when i was ovulating as i dont usually have a normal cycle. They put me forward 3 days at my 12 week scan. TBH we were more or less doing the business every other day as i was so desperate to become pregnant again. Good luck on ttc again x
 
thankyou for your reply huni
sooooo glad your having a succesful pregnancy now..gives me hope!
thankyou xxx
 
So sorry for your loss :hugs:

It depends from person to person - after a mc ( including d&c ) your hormones can be off kilter ( or not - some people revert to normal straight away ). The other issue is that due to hormones potentially being out of kilter you can't really depend on ovulation tests - as it is these hormones that may be out of kilter - so you can get false positives - in fact the only way you can kind of be sure of when you ov is the point at which you get your AF - as ov is generally 2 weeks previous ( and again this isn't definitive as some people can have a short luteal phase ) .

Your 1st couple of cycles may be off - you may find you have longer or shorter cycles than previously ( eg mine were 29days pre mc, post mc were 35days, 34 days, 27 days then 26 days - the next cycle after that I got pg ) some people have longer cycles again - anything up to 8 weeks.

If you want to ttc straight away then best bet is to bd every other day and not stress about opk testing ( just as it can't be necessarily depended on and you won't know which category you fit in ) . Also - try to relax about it - you can get pg symptoms after mc due to potential hormonal inbalances which obviously if you are ttc again can cause a little worry when you will probably be feeling a real drive to be pg again.

There's no real reason to not starting ttc straight away - unless you have been advised of a medical reason ( and of course you feeling ready to try ) . The only possible argument for waiting after a D&C is that they can scrape the lining quite thin and it may be worth giving it a chance to recover - but to the contrary plenty of ladies still have successful pg straight after a D&C.

Ultimatley you need to weigh it all up and if you decide to just go for it - there is so much support on the TTCAL forum - and they will understand everything you're feeling and going through following this very sad time :hugs:

hope you get your sticky BFP

I don't see any reason to wait - and that drive to try again is overwhelming after a mc. Good luck - and def try to relax while you are ttc - that first cycle can be very emotional after what you've been through :hugs:

Good luck :flower:
