Need URGENT Advice for ovulation after miscarriage

[baba578]

hi everyone.  I was overjoyed to find out that i was pregnant two weeks ago.  But last week (thursday - 3rd july) i had a bit of spotting.  This went on to full red bleeding for friday and saturday and today (sunday) the bleeding has slown to almost nothing.  Also today we went for a full scan which found that there was nothing left inside the cervix.  Doctors have said that most likely i have had a miscarriage and that i've lost the baby through the heavy bleeding.  The doctors have said that I won't need a D&C though.

I would have been 6 weeks pg tomorrow (monday) and going through this first miscarriage loss has really put me down because i was looking forward to this baby but the mc was very early that i think this is the reason it has made it easy for me to keep looking forward and not to dwell on what was not meant to happen.  I have heard that after a miscarriage, a woman is more fertile and the chances of getting pregnant are higher.  Therefore i want to take my chances and have another go for my ovulation.

Now i want to know a few things regarding ovulation after miscarriage and would be very grateful if anyone can guide me.  

First of all let me give you some info:- my last period was on may 26th and if i wasn't pregnant then my last period would have been on june 23rd and my next period would be 21st july.  My cycle is always 28 days, give or take day.  My ovulation is also always 14 days from the first day of my cycle.

Now my questions are:-

1.  Just like a period 1st day is classed from the start of full-flow bleeding, which day do i class a miscarriage from?
2.  Is having a miscarriage classed as having a period?
3.  From the info i have given you, what is the most likely day/date i will ovulate?

Sorry for such a long post, but i would be very grateful if someone could help me ASAP.

thank you

i've just gone and bought a clearblue ovulation test which shows more clearly the results with eithier a smily circle face (LH SURGE) or an empty circle (NO LH SURGE).  I've tested and it shows the empty circle :-( ....so therefore the previous test must be incorrect.

I'm sorry for posting again, but i'm not sure if the actual test result is positive for sure.  The reason i say this is because to have a positive the test window (square) has to be the same as or darker than the control window (round).

I'm not 100% sure as to me, the test window is slightly lighter than the control window, so i'm posting these 2 pictures for you girls to decide:-

Also i have had a 0.4 degress temperature drop.  This could be because of ovulation or maybe because i woke up at 4.30am and did a bbt test.


Any advice will be much appreciated.

thanks

Hi there if you have had a positive ovulation test and bbt dip,then i would get busy i normally know what day i ovulate since i have a dip the day before...so i would get busy now and for next couple days just to be safe,obviously if your temp goes up tomorrow and stays up for few days you can be confident you have o'ed..sperm can last up to 5 days in a healthy enviroment the egg generally they say lasts between 6 to 12 hours...to replemish sperm they say 2 hours,but if your hubbys sperm is ok,then i wouldnt worry,but get to it.best of luck...

HEEEELP!!!
it seems like i have ovulated now i did a pg test this morning and it was -negative and after that i did a ovulation test and it has come out positive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . what shall i do??? the problem is that we bd yesterday and my dh did insist on unprotected x as he believed OV could happen anytime, but like an idiot, i told him it was too early and now im worried as he was right and since we had X yesterday, his sperm count might be low.
i want to ask how long does the egg last [waiting for the little swimmers???
how long does it take for the sperm count take to build back up?? my dh as a good sperm quality.
is there any thing we can do like eat or drink something to help our little swimers get to the destination quickly???
i am willing to try anything.

just like to add i have been charting my bbt and this morning my temp had a sharp fall, this was one of the signs and the second was the ovulation test coming out as +

NOTE: I have read on the instructions that if the OV test shows positive, then it means i will be ovulating in the next 24-36hrs...but should i start bedding now..i.e in the next few hours or later?

that is what i have been told to do, to count the first day of full flow of bleeding as cd1 and to calculate my dates from there.

i have also been reading on other sites and meny ladies are saying to wait for at least one cycle,but i think if i was to wait and just do planning for the next few weeks i will go crazy as all i have been doing is planning and getting no where.at the hospital and from my gp i have been told that to think that my mc was a late af and that it has not done any damage,so to carry on as normal and that is what im going to do.

before my mc and even before i was pg i was very stressed, i thought that i cound never get pg and every second of the day all i could think of was babyz.this was the reason it was hard for me to concive STRESS!!! lots of ladies i have tolked to have said that what helped them to get over their mc is when they have become pg asap and also meny ladies have said after their mc not been able to concive straght away was more depressing and did not help getting over the grife of the mc.

i hpoe all the best to all the ladies ttc, i wish you the best of luck and i hope all your wishes come true soon.DONT STRESS

Im sorry about your loss.

I agree with KM604.  Everyone body is different, i had D&C on june 17th, june 27th hpt was still positive, july 6th it was negative, i went into dr office today to have my hcg levels drawn.  My dr told me to wait one cycle before ttc again.  Your body does need time to heal from what it has been threw.  I had a co-worker who had natural m/c at 6weeks, got preggo before first cycle and m/c again.  My friend had m/c at 9 weeks natural got preggo b4 first cycle and carried to term.  Everyone is different.

If you feel up to it and feel ok, then do it.  Did your dr give you any recommendations?
