Hi all, not sure if this is the right group to post in, I'm feeling abit down in the dumps at the moment.
I had an early mc beginning of Sept, lasted for 10 days, took a hpt after bleeding stopped and was negative (bittersweet) been ttc since then using opks but never got a positive result, 5 weeks after mc I started to get very bad stomach pains, after visiting gp he done s few tests, while waiting for these results I got my first AF and when he rang me with results he said I tested positive for pregnancy, after a whole stressful few days of weather I was miscarrying again and seeing a epau nurse I was told it was just my period and must of been left over hcg, fast foward to this month I got a positive opk on the 1st Nov but I havnt had my usual sore breasts after ovulation which I used to get before mc, does this mean I havnt ovulated again? Is there a chance I could still have residual hcg in my body? Also does anyone know if you can get a peak on opks if you still have hcg in your system?
Sorry for the long post and questions, I just feel I need some answers and some closure 😩

So hcg is suppressing Lh surge and ovulation to protect pregnancy. However if ur hcg is very low it is possible to get a lh surge.
If u never had positive opk it is possible that it was hcg still there suppressing it and idd it was residual, or u simply missed ur peak. It is impossible to say.
U experienced mc once, how did that second time feel, u know the answer. We feel it we know it. I can tell when I mc and when I get af without positive hpt. I'm sure u can too. So go with ur gut feeling.
Only with opk u will not be able to tell if u ovulated or not. It is possible that mc changed the way u experienCe ur cycle but it is also possible u didn't ovulate and there is no progesterone to cause ur symptoms.
Unfortunately only way to tell is ultrasound, blood test for progesterone after ovulation or bbt, so I'm afraid it's too late to find out.
I'm also afraid that after anovulatory cycle if it was idd the case u may have very light period or u may skip it completely.
My advise is to start bbt immediately, it can give u some answers.
I'm so sorry it has to be so hard, I'm always up for a chat, I'm sure u know it tho.

I appreciate all the advice/information you give to me and help me understand more about what's happening.
I think I'll take your advice and start bbting for next cycle.
It really means alot that you take the time to reply even though I've asked some questions before.
