Hi Ladies, I'm 10 days out after a D&C, bleeding has stopped and I'm ready to move past this. I'm starting to wonder when I should start charting again- I was mostly temping and using opk's the month we got pregnant. I've read that many ovulate the month they have a D&C and before their first AF returns. So when did everyone start charting again?
My follow-up is exactly 2wks after my procedure( a few days from now) and we plan to start TTC again as soon as we can and are OK'd to. I feel like I'll start to find more comfort if I think that my body is back to it's pre-preg cycle....
Thanks for the input!

Re: Charting again after a MC?
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
I had a natural m/c and started charting when I was still bleeding. I was temping but have decided to stop for a bit. I am still charting CM.
ETA: I am so sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for your loss. It's true many women O after a m/c or d&c. If you're already in the habit of charting you may as well start any time. Like you said, that will give you an idea of what's going on with your body post m/c.
I will say, don't be surprised if things are a bit all over the place the first few cycles. My cycle certainly is, but at least with charting I feel like I somehow have a better understanding. Good luck!

I am so sorry for your loss. I did not have a D&C so I cannot tell you from that aspect...but if it were me (and even though I had an early chemical pregnancy this is what I am doing...) I would just start immediately, a soon as the bleeding stopped.
I never stopped charting, and I plan to just continue.
