TTC After a Loss

intro / charting after mc

Hello, I've been following this board for a little while and read the guidelines, and I'm ready to say a hello and here's hoping I do it right.

Bit of background on me: 29, married to DH for 4.5 years, no kids yet. We have been TTC for 13 months. I miscarried at 5 weeks in October. I know it's very early but it was (and is) devastating. We took a break from TTC for the next month (per Doctor) and my cycle resumed about 6 weeks later, when we started again.

I've been charting for 8 months (with a break after MC for my sanity) and am charting again now.

My question is, for those who chart, what have your experiences been with charting post MC?

My chart has been strange this cycle. I'm not sure if holiday stress has delayed O, or if it's anovulatory due to MC. Could be either/both.

So, hello :)

Re: intro / charting after mc

  • I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for taking the time to get a feel for the board.

    Temping is a great way to track what's going on with your cycles. A lot of ladies here have had really wonky cycles post-loss. I'm mobile, so I can't see your siggy to get the link to your chart.

    Welcome to this board.

  • Welcome and I am so sorry for your loss. After my first loss, I got AF right away. My second loss was just about 35 days ago with no sign of AF - thought I O'd due to CM, but nope. This one is a bit longer, but OB said 6-8 wks is normal. I didn't even bother charting at all since I knew it would be a disaster. GL, OP!

  • @rslh10‌ no problem!

    Thank you all for the hugs. I'm currently on my phone at lunch break, but will try and hook up my chart tonight.

    @PetraStonegirl‌ thank you for the advice! I will definitely keep that in mind if things don't seem normal in another 6 weeks or so.

  • @kreardon11‌ I'm so sorry for your loss.

    Yes, temping can be a mess! At this point it makes me feel better to be doing something rather than not, so I temp!

  • I'm so sorry for your loss! Welcome to the board.

    Everyone is so different post-loss. I hope your cycles find a new "normal" soon. AF hasn't arrived yet for me (loss in early dec) but it looks like mine is anovulatory. It takes a lot of patience just to wait and see what our bodies will decide to do.

  • @craftykix‌ I just had a D&E 2 weeks ago today, loss was at 9w. I started temping 2 mornings ago because, just like you said, I want to do SOMETHING rather than nothing while we are benched. It was weird how the first morning when I temped, I felt this little tiny bit of control come back to me. Being pg, I felt I had none... Couldn't save my pregnancy, couldn't stop mc. But now, I'm doing something, like you.
    I am hoping for both of us that our cycles chill out and AF comes back soon. FX for both of us.
