When to start charting?

in TTC After a Loss

Hi guys,

 Does anyone have any advice on keeping track of your cycle right after a miscarriage? I asked my Dr, but didn't really get a straight answer. Sorry if this is asking for tmi, but I'm just wondering how long after the miscarriage bleeding stops do periods tend to start again?

I know every woman is different, and I know that a period may not indicate ovulation right away - I'm just looking for other experiences and averages. My cycle falls into the "normal" category (28-32 days in between periods).

Thanks.

    I'm sorry for your loss.

    I started charting right away.  My m/c was early and we decided to TTC again right away.  So I just counted CD1 as my first day of bleeding from the miscarriage.  This is the first cycle, but it looks like I might be ovulating around my normal time.

    If you had a D&C, I think you can count that day as CD1, but maybe someone else can clarify that b/c I personally don't have experience with that.

    Hope this helps.

    I started temping and charting the day of/after my mc and D&C. The time it takes to stop bleeding and for your cycle to return to "normal" can vary by person. I bled for about 1 1/2 weeks following my d&c and got my period a few weeks after that which ended up being about a 32 day cycle.

    Thanks guys, I did mark the day I miscarried in case that was the case. Still bleeding 9 days later, but getting very slight now. I was desperately hoping that I wouldn't have to wait for 2-3 months to have a normal cycle again. We'll still have to see, but you guys are giving me hope. Good luck to you! (And sorry, still learning all of the abbreviations, what is a D&C?)

    I'm right there with you-- m/c on Sunday, started temping again today-- I figure, even if this cycle is super wonky, it will give me information to refer back to in case this happens to us again :(

    We are also going to start trying right away-- I'm expecting O to be a bit later, but doing my chart and everything will help me keep track of it~

    So sorry for your loss.

    I started tracking right after my mc. It was very early and was natural. I counted the day I started bleeding as CD1, and started charting then. I do think I O'd around CD 13 the cycle after (which I think is early). We are TTC right away so I am now in the TWW.

    Sorry for your loss. It took me about 6 weeks to see my first AF post MC.

    I started charting the month after.
