How long after D&C did you ovulate?

I lost twins at ~10wks. D&C at 11 weeks on 18th July. Home pregnancy tests are still positive, not strong though.
Is there a level HCG needs to drop to before ovulation can occur? and should I be getting this tested via a blood test?

Ps we’re eager to try again soon.
We are lucky enough to have 2 kiddos already and this is our first experience with pregnancy loss so we have a positive outlook going forward

Hcg needs to be near zero for your hormones to pick up a cycle and ovulate again. If a 25 pregnancy test still shows up positive it's not low enough yet.

Oh interesting. I’ve got clearblue which I think is 10.
Might go to get a blood test on Friday at 3 weeks post to get a better idea

thank you!
Yeh I’ve only tested the once at 2 weeks post D&C.
Just curious as to potential timelines or when I should start testing for ovulation.

I’ve had a D&C on the 9th of July, and I’m still testing faint positive. Just had a blood test at EPU. I think I’ve ovulated similar time I’d normally would, but because of my HCH levels my LH tests looked crazy, so I can only go by cervical mucus changes. My period arrived yesterday though, so my cycle length was 27 days, which is pretty normal for me. We want to try again too this coming cycle. My advice is to wait for your period, and then try, as you won’t know what gestation you are. Good luck!

Thanks
I’m not really fussed on the gestation, as I usually ovulate late for a normal cycle length so the two kiddos I have were both back dated up to 2 weeks based on their measurements at the dating scan when I had firm dates anyway.
I figure why not try and catch that first ovulation if we can.
But good to know the ovulation tests are likely to be inaccurate.

🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻good luck for your next cycle

Just an update.
As I seem to be very regular with my cycle: even though I’m still testing positive on a clear blue home pregnancy test, I have a positive ovulation test (digital clear blue) today, and all the other signs that go with ovulation 🤞🏻
The D&C being estimated as day 1 of my cycle seems pretty accurate

Update: I fell pregnant after 2 cycles,
I was testing positive for HCG for 8 weeks, so that may have affected ovulation even though LH surge was still being recorded on schedule etc.

Now 20weeks 🙏🏻

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?

When did you get a strong positive?

Tested last Friday got a positive faint did a digital said 1-2 weeks which would be about right 4 weeks at the time. Did another this morning still faint…. Slightly worried about it being chemical if it isn’t getting darker. Should I be using all the same type tests?

Any ideas what’s happening with my temp?

Thought I had ovulated but now I’m not so sure, I didn’t record my temp on a couple of days because I’ve been unwell with a fever so it was a lot higher than it should of been

Positive test?

Do yall see it? There’s the original and another one that I added sharpness to and stuff to see the faint liner more better. I took more and they came out negative. So I’m so confused. Also that line didn’t appear immediately I noticed it like the next day.
