{CLOSED GROUP} Journey to BFP and Beyond!

[NDH]

Leigh I've had lots of spotting this cycle too, which i never get. I spotted from cd 5-6 after AF ending on day 3,and then again on days 8 and 9.

We now haven't DTD in three days and I should be Oing within the next couple of days (could be as early as tomorrow even.) Argh! Wanted to BD yesterday but its so freaking hot!

 

[coucou11]

Thanks Natalie! That makes me feel a lot better. Just have to trust that things are ok and hope for the best.

Good luck getting that BD in! Maybe you can try in the shower Although I'm not sure how effective that is for conceiving, actually - haha.

 

[NDH]

Shower sex doesn't work the greatest with our size difference unortunately - he's 6'4 and I'm 5'3 lol

 

[zaycain]

Hahah Natalie! You'd need a step stool!

 

[KTJ006]

You guys are hilarious!! Natalie, get in a big tub! That would be easier

Head up, Leigh! Our bodies do some crazy stuff after a MC. I wouldn't think too much into it.

Zay - keeping my FX'd for you!! Jan 1 will be here soon!

 

[kdmalk]

Got my crosshairs this morning!

 

[NDH]

Yay Kylee!

Temperature was much cooler this evening

We missed the town fireworks at 10 with sleeping children, but some random person set off a quite nice display of fireworks in the field right across from our balcony so that was a nice treat its officially 2015 for me now. May we all be blessed with babies or at least bumps this year

Home sweet home!

The trip was fun and relaxing, but I always enjoy coming back home.
I *think* I may be finishing af. It's so hard to tell because my body is all whacky ! Last month it was extremely heavy for 11 days, this month it has just been barely light spotting and lasted 7 days so far. I don't understand what's going on! We are waiting to hear back from the doctor about the fibroids, she got my ultrasound results. I think she may be on vacation though, so I'm not really sure when I'll hear back. But if everything looks good, I think I may try to talk dh into trying sooner we'll see.

Kylee, glad you got all that BD in at the right time!!!

 

[coucou11]

Happy New Year Natalie!!! Wow it's funny that it's already 2015 in Australia. The last day of 2014 is not even halfway done here! Glad you caught some fireworks and hopefully an egg too

Kylee yay for TWW!

Terrissa glad you had a great trip! Where did you go? I do hope you are able to talk DH into trying again sooner. Hopefully the fibroids are nothing to worry about. Are you off all the other meds now too?

Have a great NYE everyone! Happy and healthy 2015 and babies or bumps for all of us next year

I just went to a bed and breakfast in a little town here in Kansas

I am off all my antibiotics, thankfully. And I took some medicine for the yeast infection as well, and that helped. But last week I thought I was supposed to get af, and I had some spotting which I assumed was it. But today I got a real flow starting :/ It's fine, I know I can count this as cycle day 1 and start moving forward (hopefully), I just really don't want it to end up like last month when I was basically gushing nonstop for a week. Bleh. Feeling pretty tired today and still in vacation mode. DH goes back to work tomorrow after being off for about two weeks. I think I may go to the hair and/or nail salon for a little pick me up , DH recommends it.

How is everyone? Do anything fun to celebrate the new year?

 

[zaycain]

T - so glad you're off antibiotics. And yes about your AF.. it's nice to reset and start over. I would love to get my toes done! We deserve a little pampering after a little bit.

Afm - Things are strange. I was raging a few days ago.. my boobs are still huge, I had really bad cramps.

I took a bunch of HPT and they are all BFN. I had a brownish/pinkish cm yesterday and I thought here comes the AF! A day later.. nothing. I just want this AF to start already!

 

[tcinks]

Yikes! So I was out grocery shopping and started cramping a lot and felt like maybe I was about to pass a clot, which is typical during my af. So I pushed a little and it felt like something I little harder. I rushed to the bathroom, turns out it was something white/gray looking. Retained product? I can't believe it could have held on that long, especially since my hcg got down to 2! It was about the size of a walnut and squishy. I'm calling the nurse at my hospital now to hear what she thinks.

 

[NDH]

Gah lost my post due to internet hiccup just as I posted.

Zay that's super frustrating. Hopefully the spotting was IB and that second line will show up in the next day or so.

Terrissa any change it was a fibroid that detached and was passed????? Your description sounds tumorlike which is what fibroids basically are. I just don't know if they do that.


Arm I'm having such a weird cycle between the lighter and shorter AF than usual, then spotting which I never get, and now I've had a couple days of random light cramping. I've lost trach of what cd I'm on - somewhere between 12 and 15dpo - and the cramping I'm fairly sure isn't O related but I would expect to O by now or certainly any day.
If I didn't know mc could affect my cycle I would certainly he poas right now on the chance AF wasn't actually AF but some weird IB.

In crazy just trying to finish the last of the nappies im making for my sisters baby, due this month. My parents are heading up to see her on the 10th and need to take them with them. Plus in the meantime as well my daughter turns 3 on the 8th so I have a party to plan and execute lol.

 

[zaycain]

T! My goodness! I have no idea what that is.. but it seems like a relief to get something out of you. Sucks it wasn't in the privacy of your own home.

Natalie - you've already had your first cycle after the mmc right?

 

[NDH]

Yes I had what was quite likely a chemical a month after the mc as AF arrived 4 days after an early positive that I'm certain wasn't residual hcg. I'm about 6 weeks post mc with a bleed at 4 weeks anyway.

 

[zaycain]

That's right Natalie. I'm so sorry. I wish our bodies would just get it together.

 

[tcinks]

Zaycain, do you usually get that mucous before af? Maybe there's still a chance you're pregnant.

Natalie, you have a lot going on! What is the theme of your daughter's party?

And I don't think it was a fibroid, but maybe. It looked like a squishy little brain. Ugh. Anyway, I've passed it now and hopefully that's a sign of good things to come/moving forward.

 

[coucou11]

Terrissa I'm so sorry you went through that today! Ugh! I would google image unterine fibroids though - they kind of look like little brains, from what I saw. So maybe that was it? Will be interested to hear what your doc says.

Zay could be an implantation bleed? I had red tinged cm before my BFP.

Natalie I hope your cycle straightens out soon! I agree it's so frustrating having things not behave as you expect them to.

 

[kdmalk]

T- I responded on your other post, but also did some googling. The internet claims you can't pass a fibroid. I was with Natalie thinking maybe that's what it was. Hope you get some answers from someone!

Zay- hopefully IB and not AF! Stay away AF!

Natalie- once again you are putting me to shame in the creativity department! lol. Your daughters are lucky to have such a wonderful mom!!! I'm sure they will always have the best halloween costumes. lol

AFM: Seriously having every pregnancy symptom I had right after my bfp (bfn until 14dpo!) at 5dpo. Nauseous today (nothing bad), utterly exhausted, bloated enough that I look 4 months pregnant right now, I have been blowing a bit of bloody snot all day (I keep reading that this has happened to people who went on to get bfps), and my top "only had this when pregnant" symptom is sensitive nipples. And now I am having pain in my lower back, which I also only had while pregnant. I honestly feel like I am crazy. I am convinced I ovulated earlier or am having twins or something!!!!! I don't know what is going on with my body, but I am feeling so OFF! I dipped two wondfos and a dollar store and all bfn (obviously, Kylee, at 5dpo). No surprise, but jeez, I already FEEL pregnant somehow. I obviously need to relax for a few days. This is going to be priceless when I go on like this for two weeks convinced I am pregnant and end up with AF instead. I hate this.

 

[NDH]

I went googling and the first hit said fibroids can detach and then pass finally about 5% of the time but further reading revealed that that was following a specific treatment for fibroids
I hope your doctor can determine what it was! My sister passed a grey tissuey thing once too a number of years ago and wasnt even sexually active at the time (so she claimed anyway) so it wouldn't have been retained tissue from a miscarriage . It was the freakiest thing and we were at the airport embarking on a several day travel so she never did get to find out what it was. So freaky though.



I wasn't going to use opks or anything this cycle but the hpts I ordered onlinesince I used my last 8 last month arrived and I can't resist the urge to poas even though I'm midcycle lol. somehow peeing on a hpt AND an opk seems more acceptable and less crazy
