Charting after your miscarriage?

When did you start charting after your miscarriage? Did you wait until your first normal cycle or did you start right away?

We started charting the day I was released from the hospital.  I was very glad that I did bc I ended up having horrible bleeding about a month later and needed a D&C.  Charting helped us focus on healing my body and looking toward the future (even though it was extremely painful and difficult).

I waited a few weeks and then started charting a week or so before they told me to expect AF. My temps. were inconsistent and other signs were off, but it felt good to be keeping track of it. I called it my "interim miscarriage chart." Then when AF came I started a new chart and called that the start of a new numbered cycle.

I was told to TTA for 2 cycles following m/c, so I didn't start charting until after my first cycle.   I probably would have started earlier if I was allowed to TTC earlier.

I started charting within a week or so after my d&c(s). I wanted to make sure I ovulated that cycle, and it helped me to feel "in control" of something.

Same here. Although I must say I'm not sure if I would do it again, as seeing that I did not ovulate that first cycle kind of freaked me out for no reason since we were TTA.

I started a couple weeks after.  I was told to TTA for 3 cycles, but because I had never charted before, I used that time to get used to the routine of temping.  Good thing I tracked though because my cycle never came and after 89+days of no AF I had to see the doctor and then was placed on meds to jumpstart my cycle.

I started charting when first AF came. We got pregnant that month.

I started charting using my mc as cd1. the first "cycle" wasn't normal, but I was glad to have a record of what was happening with my body and how long I had been bleeding, etc.

This. If you're interested, you can see my m/c chart in my siggy. It's the one directly below my BFP chart. I don't think I ovulated before my first AF, and I got AF just 4 days after I finally got a negative HPT. Personally, if you feel up to it, I would chart right away just to help you feel like you might know what's going on, if you ovulate (you might not), etc. Just be warned - temps can be crazy after a m/c as your hormones regulate, so read your chart cautiously.

I had never charted in my life but after my 1st M/C, I started charting immediately.
