A member asked:

Why do some doctors say ovulation is possible 20 days after start of misscariage and still spotting and some say it's not possible? why disagreement?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No disagreement: it depends on how exactly one phrases the question and describes the case, why doctors say ovulation is possible 20 days after start of miscarriage. Studies have shown that ovulation m a y occur as early as 20 days after delivery or miscarriage. In most women, though, this is not the case, and ovulation occurs later.
