Counting Cycle Days......

 Ok,

I'm really confused! I have been reading so much and there are a ton of different "facts" out there....Do I count the day of my D & C as a new cycle day 1? Or do I just wait until a real one comes along and start from there? Confused and don't want to waste a ton of OPKs trying to [in point something like a needle in a hay stack....so, those of you who have done this....what did you do or find to be the best? Thanks!

I'm sorry for you loss - I MC in March and waited to start trying until after my next period started.  It took about 6 weeks for AF to return, then I started charting.  It took a couple trys, but we got a BFP last night:)  Good luck!!

 ohhh! Congratulations! I'm not delusional and thinking I'll get pregnant right away. I figure at least a few months and more like 6 would be reasonable. I just figure I will try to chart and mark down intercourse on ovagraph to try to be a little more in the know for the next time. Super excited for you!

Thanks!

It took alittle while for my cycle to regulate - I was all over the charts.  It took 6 weeks to get the initial AF, then it was a 36 day cycle, and this last one was 27 days. You know when you will be ready.

It can take some time for your body to regulate, i would count the day starting after your first period and even then it might not be normal.

I didn't have a D&C so I'm not much help. Can you just wait till your first period comes and then start counting and using the OPKs? I track my BBT and used OPKs after my natural miscarriage and ovulated 3 weeks after my bleeding started. If you're worried about the costs of the OPKs, have you checked early-pregnancy-tests.com or saveontests.com? That's where I get mine from and I've always had success with them...
