I miscarried about 9 -10 weeks ago. I got AF approx 6 weeks after my m/c.
Prior to my BFP I was charting. It took me 7 cycles to get my BFP due to the fact I ovulate late (i was timing everything all wrong @ 1st). I was ovulating day 21-23 prior to my miscarriage
I am TTA this month (the MD said to wait 2 cycles before TTC). However, I returned to charting and doing OPKs just to moniter my body. I am CD 24 and no sign of O in site =(. I haven't had a + OPK (wasted too many of them...ug) and definately no thermal shift present.
I am very frustrated and discouraged. I just want my body to work again.
For those of you that chart/moniter your cycles....did any of you O later after miscarriage ?
Re: did you O later after m/c?
2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14
I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
Hey Kell, how are you doing?
I was told by my doctor that charting was pointless on the cycle following my m/c. I'm glad I did though! I just got solid CH today. Buy my O range is 5-7 days, it seemed to be right about in the middle, so seems pretty normal. So we'll see if P comes on time.
I'm guessing its just another one of those "everyone is different" situations. I hope your body gets back in the swing of things quickly though!
Question for you, did you doc give a reason for waiting two cycles? Mine said I could start after this cycle is done, so basically one cycle.
BFP #1 05/16/10 EDD 01/13/11 natural m/c 11w1d (unknown cause)
BFP #2 03/24/11 EDD 12/06/11 missed m/c D&C 10w (Triploidy xxx)
BFP #3 12/24/11 EDD 09/02/12 missed m/c D&C 10w4d (Triploidy xxx)
BFP #4 02/10/14 EDD 10/19/14 - Baby boy made his arrival 10/02/14!
BFP #5 05/08/15 EDD 01/19/16 C/P 05/14/15
BFP #6 06/05/15 EDD 02/18/16 *It's a GIRL!!*
My Blog My Chart
I got my period once already after my m/c. This is what I consider my 2nd "cycle". I didn't chart at ALL for the 1st cycle right after my m/c just this one.
Nobody gave me a reason just got two MDs tell me to wait 2 cycles. sigh
I am using a CBEFM instead of charting, but yes I am later this time! I typically was an early O'er but it's day 14 now and the monitor is still showing "low fertility." I am hoping it's just a later O than usual.
I didn't even bother with the CBEFM until after the first AF after m/c because everything I'd heard or read told me my first cycle would be completely wonky.
My body has been berserker since my loss. I swore last time TTC that I'd never chart or use OPK's again - and here I am, doing both to try and figure out the madness.
My first AF showed up almost 6 weeks after delivery, and then I had alot of mid-cycle spotting and cramps until my 2nd AF showed up 6 weeks later. The doc doesn't think I ovulated at all that cycle, which is why I'm keeping a close eye this time.
I think just like pp's have said - things are typically "off" for awhile. I hope things even out for you soon!

Yes. My cycles have been way off since my m/c. I use to O around CD18. For the last three cycles I have Oed anywhere from CD47 (the latest) and CD 31 (the earliest). I am seeing my doctor next week. It is my understanding that it can take your body several months before returning to "normal."
actually i'm O'ing earlier now (this is my first real cycle after m/c & d/c, so i guess this is my 2nd cycle after m/c). however i'm taking vitex and red rasberry tea leaf. Vitex is used to help regulate your cycle and it seemed to definitely be working for me. i got my +opk on cd 12 (at night).
i used to O around cd 18.
