TTC After a Loss

Intro and Temps Question

**signature photo warning**

Hello,

Oh how I wish none of us were on this board:(  In early October, we discovered a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks (lost at about 6 1/2 weeks).  I thought I had known grief in my life, but the waves continue to shock me at how deep this grief truly is.  I'm thankful for a supportive community...and for the bump.

I am now on my third cycle post miscarriage and have a question about temperature.  I am very familiar with my temperature (we tried for almost a year before conceiving, so I have many months of data) and it has definitely changed post-miscarriage.  After expecting ovulation (positive OPK followed by a one day spike), the temperature doesn't stay up...it's just plain all over the place. It was never like that before miscarriage.

I spoke with my Dr. who ordered a progresterone test last month, which thankfully came back normal so Dr. thinks I am ovulating.  Dr. said it's possible the temperature wackiness has no affect on my fertility/chances.  That was comforting, but it's so discouraging to see those low temps each month.

Has anyone else experience crazy temps post ovulation after a miscarriage. Did you learn anything different from your Dr?  I thought I'd crowd source to see if there are other opinions out there.

Thanks for your support and my apologies if I've written anything outside of group norms.

Signature apology: I did read the group norms and apologize that after deleting my signature photo multiple times in my bio and in settings...it still appears.  I will try later from another computer.

    Hi Lola.  I am very sorry for your loss.  Regarding temps, frankly cycles are very whacky after a loss.  It could just be yours needs more time.  A link to your chart might help.  

    As for our community.  We are a strong group of women and there is a lot of knowledge and support to be gained here.  That being said, your siggy pic of your sweet boy might be off putting and hurtful to those here who do not have a living child.  Perhaps you would consider removing it to help protect the feelings of others here.

    Welcome.

    Welcome to the board! I'm sorry for your loss. Yes, temps are more than likely expected to be all over the place after experiencing a loss.  The best thing to do is just wait it out and see what becomes your new "normal". ((hugs))

    Like the others have said, temps can be pretty wonky after a loss and take some time to become "normal".  A link to your chart would help us analyze.  I'm not sure that your doctor can say that you are successfully Oing without a temp shift.  Are you working with an OB or RE?

    Also, to make sure that you are changing your signature the new way, go up to the Head Profile pic at the top right of the screen and click on Preference then Signature Settings.  If you are doing it the old way that's why it's not working.

    Thanks, everyone.  I tried a different browser and I believe the changes to my photos were successful (a combo of the bump always changing things...and my inabilities technologically!).

    So, it sounds like yes, it's normal for temps to be wacky after a miscarriage...but can anyone clarify what that means?  Does it mean one can't conceive? One is less likely to conceive? That it makes no difference and your body is just as fertile, things just look different? I know these are really specific questions, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

    We're working with an OB, but sometimes I wonder about working with an RE, which is partly why I ask what others have been told. Can't remember my fertility finder password, so I can't link right now.

    Thanks for the welcome:)

    Welcome and i'm so sorry for your losses. Your temps are wacky because of the hormones being off in your system as you get back to normal or new normal. Not really sure about the amount of fertile that your body might or might not have.

    Smarter ladies than me already responded, I just wanted to welcome you to the board and say I'm sorry for your loss *hug*
    I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site.

    @PetraStonegirl‌ , Speaking of the **read this first*** thread, is there any way to bump it up? I noticed it's getting pushed down the board with all the latest bumpdates.
  • Options
    @Petra, I hope that is soon. For lots of reasons. Any idea when that will happen? Are you sure you will be getting them back? Sorry, had a mini freak out when I realized you still have "member" status :-<
