Hello everyone,
I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself and our situation. First my husband and I got pregnant for the first time in Oct (our second month off the pill). We went in at 6wks and no heart beat on Nov 15th. Nov. 17th hcg levels were at 15,800ish. Started bleeding Nov. 27th (hcg was 14,800ish) lost tissue the 29th. I kept bleeding til about Dec. 11th. Since its a military hospital they havent tested my hcg levels since. I have been tracking my cervical mucus and Im pretty sure I O'd on or around the weekend Dec. 16. Can that even happen? My docs never really told us what would happen afterwards. They told us we should wait for 6 months before TTC again. I dont think that is necessary at all. Can someone explain when I should have O'd? Thanks.

Welcome to the board, and I am sorry for your loss. I can't really help you with when you could have O'd, but I can suggest charting your temps as well as CM. Also, I'd go by whatever advice your doctor gives, and I think most of the ladies here would agree. If your doctor says wait, you should wait. GL with everything.
First I'm sorry for your loss and welcome to the board.
Everyone's body is different after a loss. I'm gonna go ahead and say it at the risk of sounding snarky.. the whole not wanting to listen to your doctor doesn't go over well here. You should always take your doctor's advice. If you don't like what they say get a 2nd opinion. I would rather wait 6 months and have a healthy pregnancy then risk it and if I have another loss always wonder if I caused it by not waiting.
Also you may want to ask to have your levels tested down to zero. And of course, you should probably try charting. Fertilityfriend.com is user friendly. That is more accurate at pinpointing your O then just CM. Hope that helps.
This. I'm very for your loss, you will find a lot of support here.
This again. Sorry that circumstances have brought you here, but welcome!

Welcome to the board. I am very sorry for your loss...
Regarding whether you O'd or not, it's very hard to tell unless you charted since fertile CM can show up at different times of your cycle. Losses in particular play havoc on our bodies. I normally have a 25-28 day cycle O'ing around CD14 and my first cycle post m/c I didn't O until CD35 and my cycle lasted 53 days.
Have you taken a HPT? That would tell you whether your HCG levels have gotten close to zero. Some women O during their first cycle after a m/c and some don't O until after they've gotten AF again. I'm assuming you still haven't gotten AF, right?
As far as your 6-month wait, did the doctor do a pathology report? The only people I've known who've been told to TTA for 6 months have had molar pregnancies and have to have their HCG monitored regularly. Since you aren't having your HCG monitored regular this obviously is not the case so I have no idea why your doctor gave such a long TTA period. Can you call in or make an appt to go in and ask?
