Can anyone please help, I had a D&C 6 months ago, due to miscarriage, and i already have one child in which i fell pregnant within 2 months, the 2nd time i also fell pregnant within 2 months, since the D&C we have been trying every month with no success, however every month i feel like I'm pregnant, my periods are also irregular ie: 32, 32, 31, 30, 28 however my main concern was that I wasn't ovulating, however, i have brought home ovulation kits for the past 3 months and each time it has picked up my LH surge, does this definately mean I ovulated or that I should ovulate. can anyone please help

Hello,


I had a D&C about 10 months ago. I then went on Ortho-Evra (birth control patch) from about Feb-May. We have been trying for a couple of months and I haven't gotten pregnant when I thought for sure I would. I worry every day whether the D&C damaged something! I have two boys and certainly didn't have any troubles conceiving then. My cycles were unusually long for two months(37, 34, 29 days), but I'm hoping they are finally getting back to normal.

I haven't been tracking my temps, but I do use the OPK~ this past month I had 4 days in a row w/ an OPK positive~ hopefully my husband and I BD on the right days : )

Best of luck to you.

Hi kels75,

Thankyou for responding, I have the same concerns as you regarding the D&C, and also had an OPK for approx 4 days last month, my LMP was on the 4/9/03 and it's now Sat 4/10/03 (sydney australia time)so that makes me 31 days already, the only sympton that I am having is cramping like AF but that started on Thursday and it's now Saturday, and this is the first month that i actually don't feel pregnant, every single month since the D&C i have definately thought that i was pregnant.

You said your periods were getting back to normal last month being a 29 day cycle is this normal cycle length for you, as before D&C i used to be 28, 30, 28 ,30, and even though last month was a 28 day cycle for me I didn't ovulate till the 17th day, which makes me think that maybe i will have a longer cycle this month because i ovulated later, this is why i don't want to do a HPT just yet.
