Is it Possible The Big O Happened??? (First cycle After Miscarriage)

sassygirl51486

So i'd love some opinions on this. I lost a baby 3 weeks ago, yesterday would've been CD21 (Not since the bleeding but counting from when i actually passed everything) Shortly after the spotting stopped i began noticing huge globs of thick CM, like nothing i've ever seen pre-loss. (Sorry for tmi) Then it got increasingly stretchy and more watery. After a few days it turned to that unmistakable egg white, but only for a brief time. And sure enough, the very next day i had a temp shift. Now i'm all dried out down there too, theres hardly any cervical fluid. It changed in consistency and was no longer abundant the following morning when a recorded a higher bbt. I guess im a little shocked cause i did not expect to ovulate at all this cycle but my temp's still raised and my breasts are also a little sore now (I've noticed in the last day or so). This just strikes me as highly unusual because i normally get at least 5 days of ewcm as my body gears up for ovulation. Also, if it truly did happen it wouldve been about 10 days sooner than normal for me! That is extremely surprising considering things are still normalizing and therefore i would have expected the opposite, ovulating late.......By the way i just took a hpt i had lying around-A high sensitivity one, and got the faintest of faint lines so i know the hormones are low. I'd appreciate whatever feedback you could give me !

Did your doctor watch your levels until they were back down near zero? Or did you make sure to get a BFN after? If so, a faint line is a positive. No way around that unless it is because of hormones leftover from previously.

So are you saying you are concerned with being pregnant? Did your dr tell you to TTA for any cycles? Because if so, and you're pregnant now, that's not good. The dr's tell you to wait for a reason. Just FYI, this question may rub some people the wrong way so be prepared.

Oh, I totally missed that she was saying she might be pregnant already! I thought the HPT was about still having HCG in her system

OP, cycles after a loss are wonky. If you are pg again, or if you had unprotected sex after your loss and have the possibility of being pg, call your doctor to have a beta ran.

I'm mobile so I can't see how far you were but it is very typical for doctors to say nothing in the vagina for at least one to two weeks after bleeding stops to avoid the risk of infection.

If you are pg again, please do not update us. If you are not, post an intro and checkout the newbie check-in.

See I thought this was about HCG too and her asking if it was possible to have ovulated right away after a loss...... Perhaps I am simply stupid! lol Either way there were better ways to ask this, and it would have been nice if she had read the rules.....

I'm not exactly sure what the question is?? I read your intro, and I see that you were instructed to wait 1 cycle to TTC. So I assume you're asking if it's possible that you ovulated? FWIW, this question may have been better received in the context of the Crazy Train or Ladies in Waiting threads as opposed to doing your own post on this.

sassygirl51486

I am sorry it came off the wrong way, i guess i wasn't specific enough. All iam trying to figure out is if i ovulated thats IT. Theres no possibility of pregnancy and if there was i know better than to share it here.....i DID read the post on etiquette. I am honestly sorry for sending that message and insinuating things

BookishMomma

It is possible both to ovulate and to get a period with low-level HCG still in your system. My charts show that that was the case with me. All the while I still had retained tissue in my uterus. So... I guess the bottom line is that the body can do crazy things and it's important to follow up with a doctor if you have questions.

MrsPhD83

sassygirl51486, it is possible to ovulate and still have trace hCG in your system. But if you're still getting a line on a PG test, then your hCG levels are most likely over 25. I saw on your intro that you were being monitored. Do you have another hCG draw scheduled? You definitely want to make sure you zero out. Cycles are weird following loss, and ovulating earlier (or later) than normal is ok. Your first AF will likely be different than normal too (mine was heavier than normal).

Thank you for clarifying your question. You might want to edit your original post to make it clear there as well.
It is possible to ovulate, I think you said you're being monitored down to zero which is important.

I ovulated 3 weeks after my loss (per a digi test). It's possible for sure.

Absolutely not true about her levels most likely being over 25.

FRER, wondfos, and many other early tests can give positives with HCG below 10. Most early tests officially say 25 as their low end but way too many people have had betas while peeing on all things. Those buggers are really sensitive now!

OP, thank you for the clarification! Yes, you can ovulate with low levels of HCG still in your system and we have had members who ovulated when their HCG levels were still over 50.

I said *most likely* as that is, as you said, what early detection tests report as their lowest detection threshold. I am fairly certain this has to do with FDA standard of % accuracy at various levels. But you're right, they are really sensitive now! I personally have never had a beta plus taken an HPT, but this article includes a wide range of HPTs in a sensitivity/specificity analysis reporting that some early detection tests do in fact pick up hcg at less than 25 (e.g., 6).

I got a very faint positive day 18 after my D&C and my period followed 3 days later. Cycles post loss tend to be weird. I am 6 months on and while I thought they had regulated at 4 months they have since changed again.

DenaMaree

I got my first cycle post D&C (loss) two weeks after I had a large wallop of cm! Perhaps this is a good indication you will welcome your first period post your loss in two weeks (or so).

Just a word of advice for future posts, OP.  The title of your post was unfortunate, "Is it possible??" has been used many times before on these boards and has almost always been someone asking if they could be pregnant. There's no reason to be purposely vague in your post titles, if you have a specific question it's usually best to put that clearly in the subject line. Not only does that help to clarify exactly what you're asking, it also allows those who might have specific insight to know if they should go in and read and respond in the first place.  For example, when I see someone post about a question related to D&C, I've never had one so I know I probably can't offer specific advice.  Support and hugs, perhaps, but not actual advice.  Clarity is so important when posting here, so also try making sure your question is clearly stated either at the start of your post or on a separate line at the bottom of your post, doing so will certainly help to avoid the misunderstandings we've seen here as well as help you to get exactly the answers you need.  

sassygirl51486

I introduced myself and everything before posting this. Maybe it wasn't formal enough?? I do apologize, i'll be sure to be more clear next time when it comes to these touchy subjects

sassygirl51486

I did take the time out to read rules, i am not understanding what was done to upset so many of you. You must have just taken it the wrong way. I suppose i could've worded it differently. I was only asking about ovulating right away post loss, how likely or common it is, nothing else was implied

rslh10

That post title is MUCH better. To the point and no one is left wondering! Thanks for understanding and not freaking out like some other people have done when we have suggested things to them you rule! >:D<
