My cycle after MC

Hi LR, thought I'd share my experience with you to see if it helps. I too wanted to try to get UTD as soon as possible after our MC.
I found out at 13 weeks that I had a missed miscarriage at 7 weeks. I had first dose of misoprostol at almost 14 weeks. I didn't pass the sac until 1 week later after a second dose of misoprostol. I had bHCG monitored down to 15 which was about 2 weeks after the second lot of misoprostol and a week later I got AF. We were told to wait for one AF before trying again to make sure that the lining had completely shed and it was fresh ready for another go. So first AF occured 5 weeks from finding out, 4 weeks from first misoprostol and 3 weeks from second misoprostol and passing the sac.
Thats probably the info you want, but since then I have had pretty regular cycles - CD29, CD29, CD32 (D&C in this month due to ? retained products - in hindsight may not have been as bHCG has always been normal), CD30, CD32, CD28 (and hysteroscopy in this cycle due again to ?retained products but ended up normal). I have used OPK's in the last 3 cycles which showed nice surges at CD18, CD14 and CD18 this cycle. I'm hoping that my body is just adjusting to the loss...the fact that it didn't clear on its own was a big stress on my body.
I hope this helps, and good luck :)

Hi Hun, sorry I can't offer too much help as I had a D&C with my MC and didn't have any retained product and my cycle went back to normal straight away.
I would imagine (but could be wrong) that while you still have HCG in your system that yoyu won't OV, but not sure if that explains the irratic chart.

So all in all I am no help but big hugs and really hope your cycle goes back to normal ASAP

Thanks guys, I was told that I could TTC straight away so thought I would give it a go. Jazzy, I have thought that myself that I'm glad I can at least get pregnant, I would rather put a positive spin on it than a negative one!

Monkeys, I'm pretty sure I have read on here of others getting pregnant straight away without getting AF in between but I'm not sure how the hcg would affect things. I'm just so used to having a consistent cycle that clearly shows ovulation so now I'm confused

Hi LR

Here is the link to my post m/c cycle (hope it works)

http://www.fertilityfriend.com/ttc/index.php

I m/c naturally and things seemed to go back to normal pretty quickly. I did fall pg that cycle but nothing came of it, got my AF a week later. My cycle after my D&C was a little different though, took around 3 months for things to fall into place. Even now I can have some really short of longer cycles.

Hmmm, weird. Yes, it gave me dotted red lines though as my temps were still high and all over the show. Although I was on my honeymoon so I did lay into the wine a bit which could've caused that!
Hang in there, this cycle will probably be a bit odd but it should sort itself out soon enough next time round.

I wasn't charting when I m/c but I had 6 weeks before my next AF then I conceived within 6 weeks after that. It seems that might have been another 6 week cycle because the scan indicated baby would be due about 10-14 days after my dates had estimated.

LR here is the link to my chart post mc and then the next cycle pg with Jake... Link

Have you had a BT to confirm HCG is back to 0? Ov wont happen until its dropped and it can definately affect your temps...

It can take up to 6 weeks for your next AF after a mc, which just plan sucks when you want to get back to TTC. Its also not uncommon to have annovulatory cycle after a mc...

Hope you get that BFP again really soon!

ETA - I had lots of "trying to ov" and I definately did ov that cycle because I had Prog and HCG's done at 8 DPO and it was 26 from memory, could trawl the original chart thread but its a bit late for that.

LR, we were the same, had no reason to wait before training again, so we didnt. Do you know what your HCG's are doing? You wont Ov until they are at 0 again.

I've had a lookie at your chart and I cant make much sense from it, sorry. I didnt Ov the cycle after I MC'ed despite FF giving me dotted red lines. Then I started Vitex 5 cycles after my MC to try and sort things out.

I hope things your cycles sorts its self soon

might be worth taking a pregnancy test if you have any left (or need to get some for next time ) to see if it's still positive or not. Mine was still positive 1.5wks after m/c but negative a week later. (I wasn't as far along as you though, 7.5wks)

ETA and I was still bleeding then too

Hey KM, welcome back! I think maybe your reaction to a MC also has to do with the stage at which you miscarry? Hope that fibroid leads to nothing.
I was thinking about doing a preg test Rachel but I would have to buy one and I really don't want to waste it when I know I'm not pregnant.
