Morning Ladies,
How is everyone? Sorry I have been MIA. I have been busy spending time with my hubby. I am also enrolling in school to get a bachelor's degree in science/small business management. My hubby goes for a SA on the 4th, and then we will see what our next step is.

 

[wannabeprego]

@Pnut, good luck with your college classes and with DH's SA!!

TMI QUESTION:

Hey ladies when should clots in periods be a concern? I'm on cd4 and I am still getting some...I got a huge one on my tampon today...maybe not huge but like a nickel size...normally I get clots...but not this many...could it be the femera and such? The nurse said it depends on my lining and how my Af was last cycle. I stopped cramping ...yesterday was the last day I had to take meds...but usually its lighter by now.. :/ I don't know if I should be concerned or not...

Anyways hope everyone has a good and safe new years!! I hope this is our year

Professional Medical Opinion Regarding Period Clots:

Clots are generally not a big deal. Anytime blood is hanging out in one place long enough (ie: the vagina) it will clot. Heavy bleeding is considered to be soaking menstrual pads (sorry but gynecologists really only care about "pad counts" not tampons) soaking a pad front to back and side to side more than 1 an hour for several hours in a row, we usually tell people three in three hours warrants concern. That said if it bleeding that is purely your menstrual blood unless it goes on more than one week your hemoglobin is unlikely to drop.

Also nickel size clots aren't out of control. I'd be more concerned if they were fist size and frequent.

 

[sugarpi24]

Lol fist sized!! I think id faint either of losing so much blood or cuz that would be crazy! Figured id ask cuz it isn't like my normal cycles...but glad its nothing to worry about thanks for replying

NEW YEARS BFP!!

I haven't peed on a stick in months but I just ~knew~ because for the first time EVER I am 13 dpo (late) and there is NO spotting. I am totally freaking out and terrified due to my previous early losses.

Here's hoping it's a sticky bean. We only did femara + progesterone. DH has 1% morphology. Anything is possible!

So take that IVF/ICSI and shove it where the sun doesn't shine universe!!

[OperationBbyO]

I have a history of early MC so I'm not holding my breath. I'm on enough progesterone to kill a horse. I hope it's sticky!!

 

[ickle pand]

Congrats operation. Sending you lots of sticky

 

[fisher640]

Lucy - how's things? where are you in your IVF cycle? Have you started stimming yet?

Hi I am Sammy,

I have been married for 5 years and TTC since July 2009 so roughly 3 and a half years no and I have never had a BFP...

We have had all the checks, after 1 year we had sperm count and bloods and told to come back after another year as they were fine. Went back again and they did all the investigations e.g. internal scan and HSG (hysterosalpingogram) with dye and everything fine told to come back in another year and can go for IVF.

Went back again in July 2012 and I said I wanted to think about IVF. Called them back in October and requested the referral for IVF so now we are on the waiting list and not sure how long the wait is, we can find out in a few weeks probably.

I have suffered severe period pain and IBS and now it looks like I have interstitial cystitis so I am currently going through referrals to have a urinary tract scan, and then a uro-gynecologist will probably do a biopsy and then in around 3 months time I need to have a laparoscopy to rule out if I have endometriosis or not. All I wanted was a normal life and a family

 

[ttcbaby117]

Operation - that is awesome news! Congrats hun!

Sugar - When I had fibroids my clots were huge! I wouldnt worry about a nickel size one. It might just be that your lining was nice and thick this cycle!

Sammy - sorry to hear about your tough road. We have been ttc for the same exact time. I got married May 09 and started on my july/august cycle. Your symptoms of severe cramps could be endo....if so the lap will clear that up and you might be well on your way to your bfp! Good luck hun!

afm - well I have 2 corpus luteum cysts to contend with. My abdomen is the size of a 5 month pregnant woman and to top that off I am suffering from the worst trapped wind I have ever had. I went to the dr this morning and he said the cysts are 48 mm on my left and 38 on my right....So what now? I guess we have to wait and see if I am pg first! Anyone know anything about Corpus Luteum cysts?

Hey guys. I'm not sure if this is the right group for me to join, but it seems like the most fitting. It took us almost 2 years to get our BFP naturally in March of 2012, and we lost it at 12 weeks. Since then we have been trying with no success, and my cycles have been shorter and lighter, and very painful. I recently had my hormone levels tested, and recently learned my estrogen and progesterone are low and it looks like I might not be ovulating. I've been on other groups on this site and cycles go by and I see everyone getting pregnant. I see people close to me in real life getting pregnant and feel like it will never happen.

My gyn has recommended a referral to a fertility specialist. The gyn also wanted to try 3 months on birth control to see if my cycles regulate, and then try clomid to see if I will ovulate. I agree with clomid, but think the birth control will be counterproductive. I don't really know what to do next.

 

[ttcbaby117]

ES - Firstly, so sorry for your loss hun! Secondly, welcome to the group hun! Yes you are in the right place! I would go to a fertility specialist before you start the BCP's....bring all your records from your OBGYN to your specialist and let them tell you what the next step will be. You dont want to waste 3 months of BCP's if that isnt the correct way to go!

 

[OperationBbyO]

Bring everything to the RE. There is no overkill with medical information! I contemplated going back on birth control to regulate my cycle but my RE recommended femara + progesterone first and then IVF/ICSI if that didn't work. We have my problems plus male factor going on.
