Question

Signs of ovulation

I had a D&C January 20th and am patiently awaiting my first period. Before the miscarriage my cycles were very regular and it sounds like that might change now since my body is still adjusting so I am trying to make myself very aware of when I am ovulating as I never really paid attention before now (I assumed it was ~14 days after first day of period before). TMI - if there is clear, stretchy CM on the toilet paper is this a sign of ovulation? Is it possible to ovulate after a miscarriage but before the next period? Does this give me any sign of when I expect my period?

Generally, consider the date of your D&C as CD1 and you should expect to ovulate 14+/- days after that (around February 3rd). However, it depends on how quickly your body clears the hcg, so ovulation could be delayed a bit. The clear stretchy CM (EWCM) is a good indicator for me that I'm about to ovulate.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Yup, any clear cm is a good thing...get busy, girl! And yes u can definitely O after a mc and before ur next period.

So if u get a BFP this cycle, is it before or after ur drunken Canadian trip? Lol! (assuming ur BFP is in 2 weeks)

Thanks essemkay. It sounds like the timing is about right then.

Hahahaha dakotagurrl. I would love to start TTC again but my Doctor told me to wait 2 cycles. I don't totally agree with this but if I got pregnant before the 2 cycle wait and had another miscarriage I would never forgive myself so I'm going to try and hold off. I am just trying to figure out if I know when I'm ovulating. Like I said, I never worried about it before so never tracked. Now....I'm a total freak! So anyways, to finally answer your question, the drunken Canadian trip is still a go, lol.
