Ovulation after Miscarriage

[Hopeful75]

I recently had an early miscarriage (5 weeks) and my doc told me we could start trying again this cycle, because there was no need for a D&C.  I had been testing with OPKs and I had a few days of false negatives days after the miscarriage due to the left over HCG in my system.  But, then the tests started coming back negative again.  Late last week I started having some ovulation (pain) and per the OPKs I ovulated on Sat.  Is this possible. Is it possible to ovulate 10 days after a miscarriage?

EDITED: sorry something went wrong up there.

I was almost 7 wks by LMP (first pregnancy and waited for for a long time, as I'm in my late 30's and been married for 11 years) when I started to have continuous slight lower abdominal pain and dark brown discharge. I thought that was just normal and ordinary. (I had an U/S 3 days prior [09.24.2011], and revealed 4 wks 2 days gestational sac, no heartbeat was appreciated "yet", and the sac was located in the middle upper of the uterus. In short, it was read as normal.I was happy!) So, the pain that night became a great deal and sleep and couldn't find a comfortable position whether to sit or to lie, other than standing still leaning. The bleeding became heavier, thick, and dark, dark red in color.  We went to the ER the following morning, sent to DR to be examined, and they found out I was bleeding inside with lots of big clots and fresh blood. They did an U/S again and revealed more clots inside and the sac has descended. The doctor said to hope for a chance because the sac was still there; but if it won't be viable, I'll treat it as a regular menses as it will expell what's left inside (natural miscarriage). They sent me home after, No other tests done or advice given. I have to wait a week or 2 to undergo another U/S to make sure there's nothing left inside. I was told that my menses will get back to normal after a month or a month and a half.  It's has been almost 3 days now, I'm still having mild to moderate intermittent pain and bleeding of minimal to quite heavy. Yesterday, I noticed a thin strip of meat-like matter with fresh and small clots of blood after I urinated; and as of tonight as I'm writing this, I had it again twice. This time, much bigger strips. I'm still having pain. I'm planning to switch and consult another OB/GYN, as I am not confident with my current. I need to know if I need to be D&C'd or if there are tests/examinations to be done. I need to get ready for my next pregnancy if ever.

just had miscarriage this week...should have been 7 weeks pregnant but HCG levels were very low...therefore the miscarriage.  Thankfully we never did see a hearbeat or anything like that.  The scan actually didn't show anything at all...all those yucky symptoms for nothing....we are trying to see it as a blessing in discuise and better at the 7 weeks than much later on.  Still very tough to get thru and the cramping and emotional rollercoaster is rotten.  Will just have to be patient now for bleeding to stop and ovulation to start(which can be days from miscarriage from what I have read)  If it weren't for tough women like all of us there wouldn't be any happy beautiful babies in this world with mommies who would do anything to bring them here...one day at a time ladies

I recently miscarried.  It was the worst timing in the world.  I started bleeding as I was throwing my sister a baby shower.  She is a doctor, and told me not to worry, but I went to the OBGYN the next day, did a scan and saw nothing more than the previous time, checked my blood, and came out low on progesterone.  It was the hardest thing I've ever been through.  I took the pill the following saturday to get it over and done with--that was the day before my sister's second baby shower.  the next day, still bleeding, i went to her second baby shower.  other pregnant women were there.  i cannot explain how horrible i felt--how cheated by life, and the self-doubt and loathing.  but i am trying to find comfort in the thought that everything happens for a reason, and that this was just a one-off situation.  i think this happens to so many women--many who don't ever talk about it--and we cannot single ourselves out.  my husband and i are now just living our lives, loving each other, and doing things as we would do normally--we're not giving this time a label--like trying or not trying--and just letting nature, and my body, take their course.  i hope one day we'll all find peace with this and ourselves, and go on to have lovely families.

I was 7 wks when I begun to have a brownish discharge. I knew something wasn't right and went to the hospital straight away. They said that there was nothing they could do if I were to mc but it was normal to have some sort of discharge early in preg but as the day went on they brown turned pinker and demanded a scan which my local gp organized straight away. I then found my baby had no heartbeat (even though everything was perfectly fine 5 days earlier at my very first scan) I am devastated and so very sad. This was my first preg with my partner. Now I am worried I'll never get another chance. I fell in love with the idea of being preg so I'm hoping I can fall preg very soon. I am bleeding like a normal period although I know my little baby isn't alive and will pass through is disturbing and utterly devastating. I just wish I wasn't apart of the statistic but it helps to know I'm not alone. Worst part was telling my family and close friends, who were so very excited at the preg, that I had lost it. this world can be such a cruel place.
