Just to track the data, here's a record of attempts after the miscarriage. Elizabeth's normal cycle is 31 days.
- first menstruation happened about two months after the miscarriage. - a 28 day cycle that we suspect was anovulatory; we tried assuming ovulation on day 17, which clearly wasn't what happened. - a 31 day cycle where we tried assuming ovulation on day 14, unsurprisingly no pregnancy - a 31 day cycle where we tried assuming ovulation on day 17; no pregnancy - a 31 day cycle where we tried assuming ovulation on day 17; positive pregnancy test and heartbeat, though we could easily have another miscarriage.
Positive tests on 2 out of 3 carefully timed cycles, as opposed to 0 out of dozens of such cycles before paleo, strongly suggests that there is indeed a major difference here.
