    help - opk+ after d&c..what to do?

    2 weeks post d&c and I'm spotting little blood here and there. Last night I felt what I thought were ovulation pains so today I tested with a clearblue ovulation test and the smiley was solid. Can this be wrong? I miscarried at 10 weeks and I took a pregnancy test (the strip ones) and it came back positive - not as dark when I first took it a few days after my miscarriage. I thought I'd ovulate once my pregnancy tests were negative and is it possible my hcg levels are 0 or low enough to ovulate?

    So now I'm confused, do I do my attempt today? I have not dieted at all, eating and snacking because of the holidays.. no cardio - (pretty much blue territory)...or should i do my attempt with sylk and just pray lol

    Or should I atleast wait till one cycle has passed before trying? so confused. I am mentally really but I also feel I should probably get back on diet and all the pink sway stuff before my attempt

    I'm so sorry about your loss.
    I just wanted to add in a possibility that if you still have hcg in your system, an opk could possibly pick up that hormone and show a positive

    That's what I thought too but could that be the case even with digital clearblue?

    If you're still getting positive pregnancy tests then the pos OPK is false pos due to the HCG in your system. Even the digital tests do that.

    It's fine to have an attempt just in case but if you're still getting the positives on the HCG tests that's almost certainly what it is.

    With a loss at 10 weeks I do prefer you guys wait a cycle unless your doc tells you otherwise, did we talk about that alredy?

    Thanks Atomic. You did mention this. I'm going to sit this one out ..I do want to have an attempt on my next cycle. That doesn't leave me a lot of time to diet etc..

    REmember though, you'll still be somewhat depleted from the pregnancy and the loss. Just pick it up when you're ready.
