Charting after D&C/MC

McGearStella

Please forgive me if this has been covered.

We found out that we had lost our baby this past Wednesday.  I had a D&C yesterday.  My doctor seemed to think I'll be ovulating in two weeks when I come back for my post-op and then I would get my period two weeks after that.  If I'm trying to chart ovulation would I be able to say my "period" this month ended on the day of my D&C?

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!

I'm sorry that you are in this situation. (For future reference it's a good idea to warn people if you have a ticker in your signature. It's very hurtful for some ladies, so we tend to post in the subject a ticker warning). I'm surprised that your doc thinks you'll ovulate so quickly. Either way, I believe you count the start of your cycle from the day of your D&C. Best of luck to you, and I hope your stay here is short.

I counted the day of my D&C as the first day of my cycle/period, since I bled/spotted for several days following the procedure. My experience was that I didn't ovulate for another 5.5 weeks after my D&C, but everyone is different. I found charting to be helpful in figuring out when my period would resume (and therefore when we could TTC again). Sorry for your loss.

Thank you for all of the advice!

 

How do I remove the ticker?!?!  I took off my due date from my profile but I can't figure out how to get rid of the ticker!  I want it gone just as much as everyone else, I'm sure!

Click on the "my bump" tab (generally to the left of your screen on top), then click on "edit avatar". You can remove the link there and edit your signature. Sorry, tickers sure can be a kick in the pants. I

I didn't chart after my D&C - but I did get my AF almost 4 weeks afterwards...What were your cycles like before your D&C?
