Sad to say I'm back after a missed miscarriage and D&C. Questions about ovulation and TTC
I had a D&C on Feb 8th at 12w5d after finding out on the 1st at 11w4d that my baby had no heartbeat and only measured 9 weeks. It was so devasting after having a perfectly fine 8 week appt. My husband and I tried for 7 months to get pregnant with baby #2 and we're so relieved when we got our BFP in December.
Doctor said we can try right away if we want. I am 9 days post D&C and haven't had any bleeding in a few days (I only had light spotting). I am now just having normal discharge. Any ladies want to tell me about when you ovulated or got your cycle back? When did you conceive again?

I'm terribly sorry for your loss, I was in the same situation a few months ago and my heart breaks for anyone going through this. Hopefully I can offer you some insight for the future. I had a strong heartbeat at 7wks and for my 11wk appt found out my baby didn't have a heart beat. They measured it to about week 9 and scheduled me for a d&c nov 15th. I think it was about 4 was until i ovulated and I didn't bleed much post d&c , but then my first two periods were a disaster. We wanted to try again right away since it was our first , but my body was definitely not ready. I finally feel after 2 full cycles im "normal" and Ttc this month. I'm hoping I'm just a rare case and hopefully you will have better luck sooner than we did :) wish you well!

I'm so sorry. Like you, I found out at 10 weeks that my baby stopped growing at 9. I had a d&c on December 9th. I had very light bleeding for 5 days and then I was back to normal as far as discharge. Then, 6 days later I had passed a few half dollar sized clots and bled for 10 days. Then like before, back to normal. My actual period had started 9 days after that. It was 30 days after my d&c that my period had started. I ovulated a few days later than I normally do during a cycle, but I am pregnant from that cycle. I was told your more fertile the first 3 months following a miscarriage I hope and pray that will get your bfp soon. .
