TTC After a Loss

Ovulation question--hopefully not tmi

I hope everyone is having a great day.  I had a D&C back in September and have been very regular since then.  I got my first period 32 days after the D&C and have been on that cycle ever since.  We want to start trying to conceive this cycle but my December and January periods were only 26 days apart.  So how would you calcuate ovulation?  I think we are just going to try every other day for a few weeks to be safe. . .

Thoughts?  TIA!!!

  • Are you charting your temps or your CM?  Those are the best ways to be sure.  Also, are you using OPKs?

  • No, my ovulation honestly is "usually" very regular.  I get cramping also before it happens.  I will google the temperature to figure out what I need to do.  Thanks.  I am nervous about why it switched on me as well.  Probably just the holidays and work stress, etc. . .

    Yes please chart! Because honestly your chart tells you a LOT more than ovulation. I showed my chart to my doctor and he was able to interpret it and tell me all sorts of stuff about my temps and hormones and stuff.

    Doesn't matter (though my mind is still reeling at 'google the temp to find out what to do'), because cycles are always screwy after a m/c.

    Consistent charting and regular OPK use is the only way to determine when your body is going to attempt to O, and when it actually did in the home use environment. 

    What exactly was supposed to be TMI about your post? That you cramp? Or that you had a D&C? Or that you have a period? I'm confused.

     

    I was thinking the same things. If you're asking about when you could have possibly o'd then its not as regular as you might think. A loss is a shock to your hormones too. I would definitely follow the other ladies' suggestions about temping and OPKing.
