First cycle after early loss

in TTC After a Loss
So my fianc? and I tried OPK's for the first time in April in hopes it would help us get pregnant since we had already been trying for 3 months and my cycle has been all over the place since stopping birth control right after the holidays. 10dpo I started bleeding, My LP is usually 16 days, so I thought my period was early. 2 days later it stopped. A couple friends encouraged me to take a pregnancy test. It came back positive and the bleeding came back. This was a weekend so Monday morning I called my GP was sent for blood work. My levels were extremely low. My second round of tests said miscarriage since they went down below 5. Our doc said that we could start ttc right away this cycle. Finally at CD19 (based on my negative test) I got a positive OPK. I took a second one a few minutes and I have never had a wondfo turn positive so quickly (less than a minute, last cycle it would take about 5 both days I got positives and I tested 2 times a day) and they were never this dark, waaaay darker than the control line. I know they say that you are more fertile the cycle after a miscarriage, could such a dark (and fast!) positive be an indication of this?

    No a dark line on an OPK simply means you caught your LH surge at it's peak and that you "should" ovulate within 12-48 hours. It has no bearing on being "more fertile".
