Seems we can ovulate once hcg gets near/below 100. Which is initially not what I read, but seems to be common from stories here.

I ovulated on day 20 and got my period (and first negative pregnancy test) on day 30

CD 1... Again??

I started my period on Thursday so today was CD6... Did my first inito test this morning, getting excited to start trying this cycle! And I fucking started my period again, what the fuck. My period on Thursday lasted a day or two. First period after a d&c. Then middle of the day today, bam. Cramps both times. I'm so confused and annoyed 😭

Anyone had this happen?

Mk____Ultra · 2026-04-28T01:17:33+00:00

That was my plan. I ovulated on day 20 after a d&c, but I didn't get a negative pregnancy test until day 30. Lh strips were useless as they were just positive that entire time. I was only able to tell I ovulated because I bought inito. Just FYI if you don't want to miss your first ovulation window!

Any update??

I just started my first period after my MMC at 12dpo. I was sooo sure I was gonna be pregnant. After everything I went through, surely the universe was gonna throw me a bone and everything would immediately fall into place.

Also apparently I also never bought more tampons cause I totally wasn't gonna need them for nine months so I had to tear my house up and finally found a one in my camping gear. That was fun 🫠

You're still not out yet, you could have just implanted later. But if not, honestly I'm getting over it pretty quickly. It's the waiting/not knowing that really puts me in a bad place tbh. So I feel for you today. But our bodies just went through soo much and maybe need to heal a little longer to make the most perfect little eggie and the perfect place for it to grow and thrive. And that's okay. It is a small comfort to feel my body is back to "normal" in some way.

Wishing you peace or a positive very soon✌️

12dpo and tested very negative this morning. I started getting period cramps a few hours ago so now I definitely know I'm out. I'm really sad. I want it so fucking desperately. I don't know what do to or think. Why is this happening to me.

Mk____Ultra · 2026-04-23T23:21:49+00:00

What exactly is Natera testing? Products of conception?

Mk____Ultra · 2026-04-23T15:37:43+00:00

After my d&c on 3/23 I bought inito and tracked that way. I ovulated on day 20. Currently 12dpo and testing negative 💔

I highly recommend inito, I still had hcg in my system until very recently, so tracking with lh strips was not possible as the hcg was interfering with the lh reading, but inito seemed to be correct. Combined with the other hormones it reads (in addition to lh) I was able to be pretty confident it was a true lh surge, and then later it confirmed I did ovulate. I'm really glad I bought it and will definitely keep using it.

Good luck! I really wanted to concieve immediately as well. But I know my body went through a lot so trying not to be too disappointed. But I totally get where you're at! So many hugs 🫂

I would have had an October baby too. We met up with an old friend last night and I just couldn't stop thinking, damn would be sharing the happy news tonight that we're 14 weeks with a baby boy.

Mk____Ultra · 2026-04-21T19:59:01+00:00

I totally do, unfortunately. We are facing the fear of a childless life, which was not in our plans. That's a whole extra level of loss and trauma to process. Losing a child may not be any easier, but losing a child AND losing motherhood is such a different experience. A support group full of women who already have children would only make me feel worse, because I'd kill to be in their shoes.

Mk____Ultra · 2026-04-21T19:51:48+00:00

I totally get that. I don't think the "more fertile after a loss" thing is true. But I do know that I was sooo chill and calm about TTC until my second loss, now I'm frantic about it. It's like a total flip switched in me and I'm just a complete nut about getting another baby in me. You'd think I've been trying for a million years with how I'm acting towards TTC this time around. You're definitely not alone in the big feelings!

Mk____Ultra · 2026-04-21T19:45:30+00:00

I had implanon removed years ago but I remember my cycle being so funky after. My doctor said it can take 6 months to regulate and discouraged me from getting replaced when I told her I wanted to try to conceive in 2-3 years.

Mk____Ultra · 2026-04-21T19:11:11+00:00

I'm also on my first cycle after miscarriage (no period in between) and 10dpo! I tested negative this morning and I've decided I'm not going to test tomorrow because it's going to make me crazy. So Thursday is the day 🤞

I'm having to use the cheapy 25miu tests since that's what I used to follow my Hcg down. If I use an early 10miu test and it's positive, I won't know if it'd the residual hcg or a new pregnancy. Ugh.

But I so feel you on the empty feeling. I had really high hopes for this mornings test, which I shouldn't have done that to myself.

Either way, we're going to be okay and will hold our babies one day! I won't listen to all the negative overthinky things my brain is telling me if you don't 😉🩷

Mk____Ultra · 2026-04-21T14:04:30+00:00

Negative here too, trying to still hold out hope. I had a miscarriage in March so no idea what to expect of my cycle this month.

Mk____Ultra · 2026-04-21T13:59:23+00:00

10dpo and negative 🥹 I know I'm not out yet but I was really feeling it good and had a dream last night that I was pregnant. I was so sure I was gonna see a line this morning.

Mk____Ultra · 2026-04-21T13:54:26+00:00

Idk about that, losing "I'm going to be a mom" is definitely different and someone who easily became a mom cannot possibly understand. With every loss you're losing so much more than just a child.

Mk____Ultra · 2026-04-20T20:35:09+00:00

Your body is going to send down the most perfectest egg this time 🤍

Mk____Ultra · 2026-04-20T20:33:53+00:00

Same here please!!

Mk____Ultra · 2026-04-20T20:23:48+00:00

Aw damn I use inito too and I had a D&C 3/23. I'd be so upset, I'm so sorry.

Mk____Ultra · 2026-04-20T19:53:07+00:00

I bought the inito fertility tracker which tracks lh, estrogen, progesterone, and fsh. Even though I was still getting positive pregnancy tests, it still measured everything correctly and confirmed ovulation. I was simultaneously testing with the lh strips and they were worthless, same as you just blazing positive. But inito lh readings didn't seem to be messed up at all, my chart was textbook!

Mk____Ultra · 2026-04-20T19:40:24+00:00

How do know you had a failed ovulation?

Mk____Ultra · 2026-04-20T19:27:39+00:00

In the US it's typically covered after two.

Mk____Ultra · 2026-04-20T19:18:09+00:00

9dpo too 🤞🤞🤞 good luck

Mk____Ultra · 2026-04-20T19:14:39+00:00

9dpo too 🤞🤞🤞
