TTC after a D&C

I had a miscarriage in July at 7 weeks that ended with a D&C. It has been a rocky road since then, but my DH and I are ready to start tying again. I have had one full cycle since the D&C and now on my second. Everything seemed right on target and so we started trying. I use OPK to pinpoint ovulation, however I can usually tell when I'm ovulating based on other symptoms. I was due to ovulate earlier this week, I had all neg OPK's and no normal signs of ovulation for me. But I did have light pink spotting on Tues that turned into brown spotting Wed and Thur. I was thinking this could be ovulation spotting and just went with it, but I really don't think I ovulated at all. I'm looking for advice from others in the same situation, but maybe I just need to be more patient. It is hard enough with the miscarriage and now I'm TTC again, it is really overwhelming...

I start testing when i start spotting. I also had a miscarriage around the same time you did. I had one normal cycle and was told we could start trying again. We didn't get pregnant last month. Trying this month. My OPK said I ovulated 3 days after my period. Then ovulated again this week. It is soooo confusing. I'm just continuing to test and listening to my body. It gets so overwhelming. But just gotta try and stay positive.

Stay positive ladies.

I miscarried in June and I found I was pregnant in Oct. I started trying 1 month after the miscarriage as the doctor said we could. I thought I was never going to get pregnant again. Just when I was doubting it, my period was late and then once I was almost 4 days late. I decided to take a HPT and it was positive.

Ladies just keep trying and stay positive. Once I stopped stressing trying to get pregnant it just happened.

Hope this help. Baby Dust going your way.

I'm really tying to stay positive and focus on the good things in my life. I just started acupuncture and the lady I see also does life coaching, she gave me "homework" to try to get me thinking in a more positive way. Trying to get myself health and and to be patient with my body!

I have had spotting for 10 days on and off... just started my period this morning. I don't know why I was spotting... but I guess now that I have my period it's a new cycle to start fresh. I stopped temping because I thought I knew my cycles so well. Will start temping again and see what happens!! Thanks for the kind words, I feel so alone in this journey sometimes and it is nice to have someone to talk to that is going through the same thing. Thanks ladies :)
