Miscarriage and avoiding pregnancy. Is it weird to track my ovulation to avoid conception?

Christina

I had my miscarriage on 9/11

This was my first pregnancy and it’s been rough. I want kids but at the same time I’m not ready to try and conceive yet (it’s only been a few weeks and I’m not emotionally ready to try any time soon)

I started my period yesterday (I bled for a week after MC spotted the next week like a light pink or brownish discharge the last couple days i stopped bleeding for 3 days and now am bleeding like a normal period so I’m assuming this is my cycle coming back) i then decided to order ovulation test.i feel weird for wanting to track my ovulation, but I really want to avoid getting pregnant and use the information to make sure to be more careful on my fértil days. Along with condoms, I don’t want birth control (the patch gave me a rash and I’m bad at the pill the ring isn’t even an option as it made my stomach rash out and my vagina super dry)

I just wanted to know if anyone ever used ovulation test to avoid Intercourse on their fertile days. Like I want to or if it’s just weird. I want a baby but I want to give my body and mind at least 6m to heal.

I never tracked this before because we weren’t actively planning on having a baby, we were still super happy to be going into parent hood. I’m just having so much mixed thoughts and emotions so sorry if this is weird and all over the place .
