TTC After a Loss

Hi everyone!
I recently suffered a MMC at 9w4d (baby measuring 8w2d) and since nothing has happened naturally, my OB wants me to have a D&C Tuesday. While I have accepted this tragedy and I am still mourning it, my SO and I would like to start TTC after our wedding in August or September.
I have googled the BBT and all things ovulation and I am just so confused about charting. I would love to start charting as soon as I get my AF after this D&C.
Is there an app or book or any advice that you can help guide me to. I would just like a better understanding on how it works.
Also, my OB put me on progesterone at week 5 after my "pregnancy confirmation" appointment and my levels were rising. I'm wondering if the pregnancy may have been iffy from the beginning because of the lack of progesterone in my system. I have refills for my prog left...should I start taking them a week before I ovulate?
TIA for all of your help.

Re: Can you rec your TTC book or app?
I like "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" and fertilityfriend.com--they have a website and an app
ETA: So sorry for your loss--I just read the title of your post
Also, I would ask your doc about whether or not to take the prog--since everyone's body is different and every MC is different, it's best to follow the advice of your doctor.
Welcome and ((hugs))

So sorry for your loss. I would also recommend Fertility Friend, you can click on my chart to see the webiste. I would also suggest starting the day after your D&C. I had a D&C as well March 8 and still have not had a period. I randomly started temping a month after to see what my body was doing and I wished I had started right after the D&C. I was going to wait until my first AF too, but she never showed up. Use the day of your D&C as CD1 if you decide to do this.
Fertility friend also has an app too!
GL!

Sorry for your loss, but welcome to the board.
As PPs mentioned TCOYF is an excellent read on all things TTC, the TTCAL blog (in my siggy) is also a great online resource. As PPs also mentioned, Fertility Friend! They have a downloadable book that you can read on iPhone, iPad, iPod, PC, Android (I think) and they also have a tutorial charting 'course' you can download onto Apple products as well to help you get started.
As for the progesterone definitely ask you doctor. You should only take it as prescribed (in this case, your pregnancy) unless other instructions are given. Plus, taking progesterone prior to ovulation can intefer with and/or delay ovulation all together. Progesterone should only be used after ovulation is confirmed- via charting or through b/w.
Good luck to you!
