Nice temp today, dietrad!

 

[Round2]

Please put me down for the 9th.

Stats: 27 years old. TTC #1 since last September. Had a natural miscarriage in May at 12 weeks. I'm now entering my second true cycle since the miscarriage.

Has anyone else had a wonky first cycle post mc? I'm talking about the cycle after your first AF. My AF came 26 days after my mc and now I'm coming off an 18 day cycle. I either ov'd whilst having my first AF or I didn't ov at all....I had blood work done and I called for results today and everything was normal....so no hcg. Scheduled a follow-up anyways. Getting loads of EWCM today and since I'm on CD15 I'm guessing it's time to take another crack at it....

My second AF after my D&C was crazy. I bled for 20 days straight. It turns out that I had a blood clot in my uterus that didn't come out with my first AF. Has you doctor done an u/s? It might be worth a try.

I'm definitely going to ask my doctor what she thinks. I had a few clots with my first AF but they looked like dead tissue (black and dryish-looking) but I didn't get any with my second AF and I normally clot with my periods. I'm starting to get crazy cramps and achey boobs so I think I'm headed towards another 18-day cycle. Sheesh. I"m not OK with that, TTC or not. It leaves only a week of no-bleeding between 7-day periods. No woman should have to put up with constant PMS! LOL

I'm just nervous as my SiL has since told me she has a friend who had a miscarriage in 2006 and finally got a D&C for it THIS YEAR. She just assumed her body would "sort itself" and clearly it didn't.

Nice temp today, dietrad!

Thanks Petitpas. I feel a little hopeful but I'm still hesitant b.c I woke up a half hour early fighting with the bed sheets so I don't know if that was a true BBT rise. Plus this evening I'm sooo PMSing. My poor DH.

Ya, I would ask for an ultrasound. My doctor was about to send me for another D&C when I asked for another u/s, to my suprise I had passed the clot with my last AF. I'm on my 4th AF now it's finally nice and normal. Hopefully things clear up for you soon too.

My doctor said to give it another cycle as my bloodwork came back normal and my post-mc ultrasound showed nothing left behind. If I'm still having weird bleeding by then she will get me booked with my gynacoelogist to see if he recommends a D&C. But she thinks it's just my hormones readjusting and the fact I should be ovulating right about now.

So it's business as usual for me at the moment.

Hi, can you add me for testing on the 23rd? I have been having cycles between 24 and 36 days over the last few months, so that date is right in the middle! fingers crossed, as its been 6 months since my last mc and no luck so far...good luck for all you girls!x

 

[sequeena]

I'm testing on the 5th, hoping for an April baby that might even be born on my birthday!

 

[Starry Night]

I may have to change my test date as I *think* I'm about to have another 18 day cycle. I've had some tiny red streaks when wiping today but DH did bump my cervix too (tmi, ha ha) so I'm crossing my fingers that AF doesn't come! If she does, I'm giving it one more cycle before demanding a D&C or some sort of intervention. 18 day cycles with 7 day bleeds suck. You only get 8 days of no-bleeding but half of that is still PMSing. 3 days a month of no PMS is not acceptable. By any stretch of the imagination. lol

 

[petitpas]

Oh no stary! Definitely ask to see a specialist again if this cycle is another strange one. I had lots and lots of bleeding and clotting after my mmc and ended up needing three operations to get everything out. only got the all clear yesterday with a warning that my lining probably needs another two cycles to recover so I'm probably testing in vain this month :shrugg: still, we're giving it a go!

 

[sequeena]

Count me out guys, the witch got me this morning

 

[cla]

can you put me down for the 7th please. i wish everybody the best of luck

 

[mommy2lexi]

Ugghhhh....I ovulated a week late Can you change my date to the 10th (although I am sure I will not make it that long to test...LOL)

First real trying month since D&C in June so hopefully that has something to do w/ it being late!!!!

I officially have no hcg in my system but I'm wondering if something is stuck. During my periods I get the feeling like I'm in the midst of passing a clot but nothing comes. My periods are normally quite clotty and but I didn't get any last period.

And I think AF is showing up today so that's two 18 day cycles in a row. I'm just spotting today but it's very maroony in colour so I know where it's going. My doctor wants me to wait another cycle but I'm so depressed I'm not sure I want to.

By the time I had my third op, I didn't have any hcg in my system, either. The tissue was completely dead and calcified but my body was producing clots in response to its presence. It's rare, but hcg is not the only indicator. The tissue was clearly visible on ultrasound, though, and I see from your earlier post that you've had a clear one... Strange! Definitely something for a gyno to check, I would think, rather than just your gp. Have you tried the ultimate referral tactic: ?

 

[Starry Night]

I thought about bursting into my doctor's office in a blaze of sobbing glory, lol. I am seriously contemplating calling her back and insisting to get checked out. One 18 day cycle I can deal with. But not two. However, my spotting is still very intermittent so I may wait until I have actual flow to go bug her.

That sounds like a plan. She has until Monday to show, that wicked witch!
