For those who chart...

How long after your m/c did you wait to being charting again? Does the day after a D&C count as day 1, or did you wait for AF to show up again? I'm confused!

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but this is my first loss so I'm new at this and have no idea where to start. I'm hoping that seeing a pretty chart very soon will give me some hope.

D&C counts as cd1.

yeah, what she said.  and i started with the first cycle after my m/c.  good luck!

I started charting this cycle from the day of my m/c.

I didn't start charting until after my first AF, because 1) I didn't think of it until about 2 weeks later, and 2) I knew my temps would probably be all over the place.  However, the pp is right, the d&c counts as day 1.

Seeing a pretty, normal, ovulatory chart does help.

Thanks ladies!  It feels good to have a chart, a ticker, and a sense of direction again.  Best of luck to us all!

D&C counts as day 1.  My first m/c was at 18 weeks, and I waited about 3 weeks before starting to temp.  I Oed on CD37 and af arrived on CD50. 

My second m/c started April 30th, and I have been charting every day after that.  I was hoping that with an early m/c it wouldn't effect my cycle all that much.  I was wrong.  It looks like I am gearing up to O about now CD35-37, so AF should arrive around CD50, unless I get an unlikely BFP.  Check out my chart, it is the TTC ticker in my siggy.

I'm not a charter, but wanted to say sorry for you loss.  Good luck this cycle, I hope you get your sticky bfp very soon

I started again when the bleeding stopped - I was too emotional to temp, etc. during that time. However, I did count the m/c bleeding (or, in your case, the D&C) as CD1.

I started charting again right after my D&C and that day was CD1...  Keep track of the bleeding just like you would for AF... 

I didnt start temping after my 2nd tri loss until this month because we couldnt ttc anyway..  I did chart CM and since we were TTA it was easier for me to recognize what it was...

I just had a natural and started with the first day of bleeding. see link in siggy. i made a note though of when my betas came down to non-preg levels.
