Ok, so looked through the blog and Dr Google, but I'm looking for "real life" experiences on this one:
This is my first period post D&C.... I've had some type of flow for 9 days now. (Started really light, got heavy for a few days, now its back to somewhat light/moderate). I know periods post MC are sometimes screwy, but after my previous MC (spontaneous/natural), my period remained the same. (every 26-28 days, period lasts 4-5 days on average).
So the fact that I've had some sort of flow for 9 days has freaked me out. (Called my OB, she's not worried). Normally I would start my OPKs on CD 9, but I'm still bleeding. I guess a question would be nice...
Should I start OPK now or wait until my flow is completely done? What are your experiences with you first period post D&C?
TIA!

Thanks Ladies, I think the consensus is wait until the flow stops.... I've never charted, only used OPKs in the past. I'd hate to "waste" a cycle now that my OB gave me the green light.
@Qfrump ; my betas were tracked by my doctor, but I did POAS about a week prior to my period, just to see if it would come up negative, and it did.
Not gonna lie, I may give in and poas tomorrow, just to see.. But then, seriously, I'll wait for flow to stop!
Prior to this my period had consistently been about 4-5days with minimal spotting.
If your flow has been light I would start using the opks.
