TTC After a Loss

When would you start temping?

My MC started on 10/6 and now I'm in the "waiting to stop bleeding" phase.  After my next checkup on the 28th, we should be cleared for TTC again.  Obviously my cycle could be a little wacky for a while.  I think I'm ready to start temping and using OPK's.  But I'm not sure when to start.  Should I start temping after I get a regular period again or is there any benefit to starting now?

Re: When would you start temping?

  • Well, if you start now you'll get into the habit. There is certainly no harm in it.

  • I would start now.
  • I would start now so you can pick up on any patterns.  It took me a while to start temping, but once I did, I was really happy because I know more about my body now.  Before it was all a guessing game, but now I have charts to confirm what's going on.  Plus it's good to get in the habit of it.
