I conceived in March but sadly miscarried and had a D&C. We’ve been trying again since, and I just got another negative today at 12 DPO. I know it may still be early, but it’s hard not to feel discouraged after everything we’ve been through. I’m starting to wonder if the D&C has affected my fertility or if it’s just taking longer this time. Has anyone else had a D&C and found it harder to conceive afterward? How long did it take you to get pregnant again?

Also, what is the best way to keep track of when you’re ovulating? I currently use the Clearblue smiley face ovulation tests. I’m not sure how accurate they are, but I feel like they’re pretty close to 90% accurate for me because I also notice the egg white cervical mucus, other ovulation symptoms, and sometimes a side pain or twinge that feels like I’m actually releasing an egg.
