TTC After a Loss

ovualtion predictor kits

Hello all, I am anxious to try again after experiencing a mmc. But, i want to be sure I know when I am ovulating. Before having DD, I ovulated on day 14 with a 28 day cycle. After I got my period back from her, my cycle ranged from 28-31 days and I think I ovulated closer to day 16. At one point when trying to conceive this last time, I bought some ovulation tests that just showed the lines and if the one was darker then you were ovulating. I never got a positive and the daily testing to never get a positive made me crazy. So, I bought some clear blue digital tests and I just wanted to know if people have had luck with this brand that had not had a positive with other brands? I also got a basal thermometer but idk how consistent I can be with that since I have to remember to do it first thing in the morning.

  • I haven't tried ovulation kits, but I do temping and I can say my first month doing it was rough at best because I would forget a lot, but the second month I got used to this is what I do when I wake up, it is actually a pretty easy habit to get into. 

    Good Luck!

  • I use the clear blue and find it super helpful. I used it the month I conceived for the first time and found that I likely ovulated day 19 when I previously was TTC much earlier based on online predictors! We just had a loss but are using it again. I'm already day 19 post loss and still no ovulation tho I'm sure my cycle will be a bit off.

  • I tried the clear blue digital the month I got pregnant. Found out I ovulated on day 10, which was good to know, because the dr had told us to BD every other day for a week STARTING on day 10.

    I plan to use it again after I get my first AF.

    RE says the low egg count is likely causing my recurrent pregnancy loss. Less eggs results in more aneuploidy.

  • I am glad they worked for you ladies! I still have a while before AF will arrive I'm sure but got some on sale this week so I hope we have the same luck. Good luck on your rainbow babies!
  • I know you already have a few answers from these ladies here but I wanted you to know that I used the Clear Blue OPK for two months and got pregnant on the second month. It was really helpful to figure out the days. Since our loss we are using it again. I found it the most helpful.
  • Thanks ladies! I hope we have the same luck. Even if these work we still have to have working sperm and egg to get our rainbow baby ;) at least with these we will know when optimal timing will be
  • You can get Wondfos OPKs on Amazon for super cheap, like 50 strips for $20.
  • Wondfos are great or cheap OPKs in general. You have to test in the afternoon or evening to get a positive usually. Fmu is not accurate like pg tests.

  • I wondered about the fmu too, the clear blue says to use the urine after your longest stretch of sleep or something like that. Hmmm. If I never get a positive with fmu, I may move towards random times throughout the day. I have never wanted my period to start so badly and I am not even 2 weeks out from my procedure. I am so impatient.
