Calculating cycle dates right after miscarriage
Hi everyone! I'm having a hard time trying to understand how cycles work after a MC. I'll explain: last period on 13th June, BFP on June 28th. Sadly after a couple of weeks I started spotting and after a visit to the doctor's office it was confirmed that I was going to miscarry. I was heart broken. We waited for a week to see if it would happen naturally but it didn't, the doctor gave me cytotec to induce it. I bled for about three weeks (heavy cramps only during the first week) and it finally stopped a week ago. 4 days ago I noticed EWCM so I guess ovulation has happened or will soon. Can I just assumed the first day of my cycle was around 14 days before that (in the middle of the MC bleeding?).
I know they say I shouldn't actively try again right away, and to be honest we aren't. I guess all I want is to know whether any of you ladies have had a similar experience and can give me a bit of info on how things were for you. Need to feel I'm back to normal (or will be) soon. Thank you!

sorry for your loss, aletheok.
I don't have the right answer but this is my understanding based on what I readâ?¦
I had a missed mc and a D & C on 1st August. And I am counting it as my CD1.
I have a pretty regular 28 day cycle. But then your cycle can go a little crazy after a MC.
My ovulation happened on 22nd August so that's a longer CD phase than usual.
When I saw my OB for a post-D&C appointment on 21st August, he did a scan and he could see that I was about O very soon. Confirmed my O day using an OPK.
Now, I am waiting my 1st AF after a D & C.
I hope my story helps...
Baby dust for you and hope everything goes well with you.

Sorry for the late reply, mylittlepeanut. I was feeling really down and tried to "disconnect" from TTC and TTC websites, so I didn't realize I had an answer to my question...
I'm really sorry for your loss. Have you had your first AF now? I hope everything's back to normal for you!
My first post MC AF arrived on the 7th Sept, and I'm currently 12 dpo (on Clomid). Hoping for a bfp but my temps drop a bit today so I guess AF is on its way... Oh well, we'll keep trying!
All the best to you too!
