I had my AF on 8/1/15 and then had confirmed BFP on 8/29/15, I MC'ed at around 6 weeks and AF came back on 9/12/15, I counted 43 days between but an ovulation calculator gave me a 41 day cycle, so with either the 43 or 41 day cycle time, do any of you ladies know when I could possibly ovulate again and I've heard over the years it's very easy to become pregnant again after being pregnant so I'd like to try again and see if I could possibly become pregnant again....thank you ladies in advance for all your support and advise, im going to post this on a few areas because I'm not sure where it fits best so im sorry in advance for the RP story if you ready it again.... Thank you again XoXo
First off, just wanted to say I'm so sorry for your loss . An ovulation calculator wouldn't really work properly if you are using your initial AF on 8/1 and return AF on 9/12 because that's not a normal cycle since you were actually pregnant. From the looks of your BFP you may have a "normal" monthly cycle but all bets are off since you had a miscarriage. I would just use OPK's starting CD10 until you get a positive. My doc always recommended intercourse every other day between cycle days 10 and 20 when we were doing timed intercourse then you have your bases covered in case you don't get a positive OPK. Hope this helps. Good luck!
If the pg was unmedicated, my cycles after the mc cycle were normal. Most woman O CD14, so BD CD9 to CD16. However, some like me O late (short luteal phase), so I BD CD13 to CD20. If the pg was medicated, all bets are off b/c the drugs elongate my next cycle (up to two weeks). I tracked BBTs to keep peace of mind. Sorry for your loss. FX for your upcoming cycle!

@Cwhitaker27 Thank you for your advise, that helps to think of the every other day from 10-20 cycle day... I do have a an AF that comes pretty constantly I've had her arrive anywhere from 26-32 days but it's usually around 28-29, do you think it's best I wait after this MC I've heard 3 months to wait and not try again right away for fear of another MC.... Thank you again XoXo
@SharonB222 a little update I had a little slippery CM on 9/25 then on 9/26 I had the egg white CM unfortunately my DH has been in the hospital over a week for knee surgery, he was willing to try a self IUI, but he was so pumped with pain meds my poor DH couldn't perform so I lost out on this ovulation day yesterday and I'm back to normal today my BFP did come with estrogen/progesterone nothing else so im hoping AF comes correctly in October (fingers crossed).... Could you tell me what BD means im trying to figure it out hubs and I have been trying over 10 years this year being our first BFP & MC but I'm still very new to the TTC community which im so thankful I found all the women I've came in contact with have been such a blessing to me, thank you again for all your advise XoXo
