I had an early m/c starting on Halloween. The doctor gave us the green light to TTC once we're ready. I ovulated on November 17th and got my first BFP yesterday at 10 DPO. But here's what I'm wondering... Has anyone else gotten pregnant the first cycle after miscarriage? Obviously I'll talk to the doctor next week (they were closed yesterday and all weekend) but I'm wondering what others have experienced with regard to how my pregnancy might be dated. I'm wondering if they'll date my pregnancy based on when my m/c started, treating it like the first day of my LMP, or if they'll date it based on my ovulation date.

Re: Dating Pregnancy Immediately After Loss (Loss mentioned)
OPKs can say your ovulating for weeks after a mc because the hormone is still present. Like others said, I had hcg in my system for nearly 2 months after my mc and would've turned a pregnancy test positive. If you haven't already, I suggest taking a couple blood tests 2-3 days apart to check your beta levels. Best of luck!
My m/c was at 5 weeks and my beta hcg was already at 4 when I went to the ER so I was already testing negative at that point. It was 0 by my follow up a few days later. I took my first hpt this cycle on 9 DPO and it was completely negative. It was a very faint positive on 10 DPO and the line has gotten slightly darker each day (today is 12 DPO) so this is definitely a new pregnancy.
I was charting and did confirm ovulation that way, though this was my first month charting and I'm honestly not sure if my doctor agrees with or approves charting. I also wasn't very good at taking my temp every single day. I had positive OPKs for almost 2 days, but they were negative for a week leading up to that, as well as a week after.
Thanks for your input all! If she goes off my last bleed, it'll just be a few days off, which isn't so bad.
