hi everyone. I was overjoyed to find out that i was pregnant approx 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 dont no about ovulation and stuff because it is messed up after miscarriage but i am now pregnant straight after miscarriage no period in between so i think you are more fertile we started having sex straight aftere i stopped bleeding and got a positive test 4 weeks later so i think we actually concieved a bit after that because i only bled for 4 days but before my miscarriage it took me 9 months to fall pregnant but i got preg straight after miscarriage so if i was u i wouldnt worry about ovulation and just have sex every other day enjoy it lol

Hello and so sorry to hear about your loss. I went through similar not so long ago, and it is very hard. Sending to help you.
Glad you seem to be looking forward though.
My first ovulation came 3 weeks after the miscarriage bleed started, but I gather that it can happen sooner or later than that. Everyone is different. I used OPKs to find out when it was about to happen, as I was desperate to try to be pregnant again first month. I wasn't so lucky, but I wish you all success for another very, very soon, preferably straight away.

Thanks Nikki,

your post have given me some hope. Earlier i had very little spotting...hardly anything, but it seems that my bleeding has totally stopped today - not even spotting. So we took our chances and BD'd straight away. I just hoped that i got some sort of indication of my ovulation day.

Many thanks Rach for your warm-hearted post. I'm sure you will succeed..just keep trying and don't stop!

Sending you plenty of

Hi Baba,

Sorry for your loss

From what I know, you count the first day of bleeding from your MC as CD1 and go from there. Unfortantley having a MC can mess your up. My first after MC was bang on 28 days after, but my 2nd was 34 days. So now Im not sure where I am in my cycle. I would just go for it anyway, get yourself some OPK's just to track. The only problem with TTC so soon is that DR's may find it difficult to date you before having a scan.

Hope this helps and loads of luck for that

Hi,
I had a m/c last October and was told I should keep my body time to heal after it and wait for 2 afs before trying again. Just make sure you're not being too tough on your body, it might be a good idea to let it recover fully. (I waited for just the time I was told and then conceived again immediately.) Maybe have a word with your doctor who knows how your body reacted.
On the other hand, I've heard of plenty of people who didn't wait and conceived straight away and had healthy pregnancies. And sounds like your m/c went through in a non-complicated way so chances are your hormone levels will go back down quickly, too.

Whatever you do, all the best of luck and hope you BFP soon Sending you lots of baby dust!

Thanks you so much girls. I'm sorry that i have not replied much as i've been taking a long rest from the pc.

After reading your postive stories, i have become even more determined to go for it. The doc has offered only a urine test and will tell me the Hcg result on friday. I don't expect that my ovulation would be on the exact time, but there again, i have had no more bleeding today..not even spotting, so i hope that it is correct.

Nevertheless, I am taking as much rest as possible on hubby's orders. He's told me that the best way i can recover quickly is to put my feet up and don't keep rushing around. He's told me to eat plenty of healthy fruit and vegetables, as this will help my body heal a lot more quickly and give me my strength too.

I am not willing to wait too long as part of my grieving is to have a baby, so what better way than to try for a baby? I will start BDing within the next few days (approx 10 days after miscarriage day 1). From day 10 we will try every 2 days to allow some build up of sperm and carry on till day 25. Also i will test for ovulation from day 10 onwards till day 25.

Does this sound ok to you guys? Also you don't think the DH is doing wrong by making me eat all that fruit/veg???

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.

A few of my friends got pregnant right away after their early term (4-8 weeks) mc and delivered full term babies. I've heard several times from them that their doctors also told them that their bodies will be more fertile for the next few cycles and will implant the egg firmly. So, they were advised to BD right away.

I hope you get your asap too. Good luck!
