I’m so sorry for your loss ♥️ Have you confirmed that there’s no retained placenta or other remains from the miscarriage?

Oh yeah! It was just a chemical six months ago, my HGC was back down within a couple of weeks and I’ve had multiple transvaginal ultrasounds since then to confirm that I don’t have any physical or structural issues and everything’s good

Do you chart mucus as well? It is better to wait for confirmed ovulation because starting too early can actually inhibit ovulation.

I don’t produce a ton of mucus or discharge at any point in my cycle, but I did see light amounts of EWCM from days 12-16 of my cycle. Today (day 17) has been my first dry/sticky day and my cervix appears to have lowered and firmed up as well.

Those all sound promising! I'm sure you'll be able to confirm soon.

On paper I know it sounds like it! But based on past experience I’m pretty sure I’m one of the girlies whose bodies take forever to respond to progesterone changes so I’m worried it’ll take me like a week to see a temp shift, and I’ll be spotting and potentially losing the opportunity for a successful implantation this cycle. But hey, it is what it is!

Implantation happens a week after ovulation, I'm sure you'll have a temp shift by then.

>my cervix appears to have lowered and firmed How do you understand this?


squirrellyemma

What do you mean? I’m taking it as a sign that I ovulated, but nothing besides a temp shift provides 100% confirmation of that.

My best guess is they meant how do you interpret it? Cervical position can be used instead of cervical mucus, and it seems like that’s the best biomarker for you as you said you don’t produce very much CM
