Feeling deflated

ADVICE

My husband and I started TFAB last October/November - I ended up getting pregnant the second cycle we tried (this second cycle trying was also the first cycle I used ovulation test strips) but unfortunately and very sadly had a miscarriage at 12 weeks :(

I then had a D&C the third week of Feb, and 28 days after I got my period (it was extremely light and short in duration). We did try again that next full cycle, but did not get pregnant (tbh I wasn’t positive I ovulated) and then got my period 26 days later (back to my normal cycle). Period was again very light and very short in duration.

Fast forward to this last cycle, concrete signs of ovulation and I really thought we nailed the timing - currently 11 DPO and the anticipation has been killing me so I just took an early detection pregnancy test (Clear Blue Ultra Early) and it came back negative. The first time I was pregnant I used the same test and it came back positive on 11 DPO so not convinced I’m testing too early.

Feeling deflated to say the least!

Anyone care to share their experience trying to conceive again after miscarriage / D&C specifically?

If I am getting my period now in a couple days, I’ll be curious to see if it’s a more normal period (ie not so light/short)

Keep trying I suppose!
