dont know whats going on! final update on pg2 af arrived!

[babytots]

ok i am so confused. usually i am so in tune with my body and my cycles but this one has me stumped. hope all this makes sense lol.

i lost jessica nearly 6 weeks ago.

for the first week i bled really heavy,the second not as heavy then from the 3rd week had spotting with ewcm. from the 18th to the 28th had no spotting but lots of ewcm one of those days the ewcm was tinged with blood.

yesterday i started spotting so thought fab af is on her way! (which was coincide with the ewcm starting on the 18th as i have a lp of 13 days) with me so far?! today the spotting is barely non existent and like ewcm again. i'm cramping like the is coming but usually i dont cramp til i am in full flow.

just wish if it were the she would hurry up and come and if it wasn't whats with all the ewcm?! x

. I had mc on 10th April @ 8weeks+3.
I had spotting from around 5 weeks, but it was just a couple of instances of tons of cm streaked with blood. Then got a bit of blood & thought fnatastic is here, then it stopeed & started a couple pf times, then went to brown dischge, then a bit of bleedibg again, it was riduculous. Went to GP who said it was my body just sorting itself out & to go back after 6 wks if it hadn't settled.
finaaly arrived on Tuesday which was moderate, but from WEd onwards I'm really really heavy.

I honestly think it is just your hormones settling down & your body trying to sort itself out. It is very frustrating as all you want is for your body to start being "normal".

Hope arrives for you soon & isn't as evil as mine.

I think it will be your body just sorting itself out hun, i hope arrives soon for you

When I lost Beau I bled for 2 1/2 weeks and then like you I had some spotting a couple of weeks later.

About 5/6 weeks after he was born I had heavier spotting which went on for a week and then turned into full blown af which lasted a further week.

I think it's our bodies way of sorting itself out, it's just horrible when it takes so long

thanks ladies well spotting started up again and today passed a small clot that was horrid! sorry tmi but it was a light brown and like liver so now even more confused.

is it that i've had retained placenta hence the spotting and now this clot or could it be af since it coincides with the ewcm i got.

i'm now bleeding bright red but again only spotting but havent had bright red blood since the 2nd week when i lost jessica. i really hope it is af! x

 

[AlwaysPraying]

The trials we go through hey? I've heard a number of women who have had that cramping and passing a clot afterwards. I don't know what to make of it personally. It does make sense that you were cramping if you did have a clot to pass. That clot could have been anything, retained tissue, or an accumulation of blood that's passed. If it was retained then that could explain why you haven't had a proper flow yet, your hormones were working on getting that out rather than working on a proper cycle, know what I mean? Now, hopefully, your hormones can work on a proper cycle, which this may end up being, or you could have a proper one anytime coming up now.

thanks hunni that makes alot of sense just so frustrating when i dont know whats going on as i am usually so in tune with my body. this has been the first time that my cycle has messed up!

after my girls the came back within 6 weeks. with my misscarriages it came back within 5 weeks its now been 6 weeks since i lost jessica and i havent a lue wether its af or not lol.

oh the joys of being a woman i reckon men should have to suffer too pmsl!!! x

Hun This sounds exactly like my symtoms!!

Mine cranked up a notch to that really heavy bleeding a few weeks ago & I've not had much of the bloody EWCM since, just the occasional day or two here or there.

RP's do sound likely as your symptoms match mine so closely.
I deffo have RP's, we saw it on a scan a couple of weeks ago.

Maybe you should push for another scan? Not sure what they could do tho, they are too worried to give me another D&C so I just have to wait it out & take AB's if I get an infection from it. Maybe you could get away with a D&C if you do have a bit of placenta left tho?

How are your hCG betas/HPT's these days? Have you gone back on the OPK's yet?

Sending .... lots of them!

 

[babytots]

thanks dan-o the bleeding today is bright red so wondering if its af since i havent had bright red blood since about 3 weeks ago. i'd rather not see my docs they would prob fob me off with antibiotics and noth bother to send me for a scan and i can't be arsed with them treating me like crap again but if the bleedin g starts to worry me or i pass more clots i shall go see them.

i did a hpt about 2 weeks ago when the spotting first stopped and was a clear as day bfn so god knows lol. going to buy some opks soon and just test whenever i see ewcm lol. x

 

[AlwaysPraying]

I'm almost the opposite as you. I'm painfully in tune with my body, like you are, but it's always been unpredictable. I have 28 day cycles, 19 day cycles, bleed for 4 days or bleed for 14 days, it's stupid. Every doctor says it's normal for me, because I'm within the "normal" range, yeah right. Anyways, I can't even begin to wonder what's coming for me, I actually hope that what's happened WILL change my periods!

Anyways, it's frustrating I totally agree when your body is doing loops and you don't know or understand what's happening. For me, the best thing I could do is practice patience. Personally, I'm on day 13 after my loss and being VERY impatient! But I'm trying. Who knows when proper AF is going to come, but time will tell.

I think you've got it right, keep an eye on it for clots or infection and see what comes of this round of bleeding. Terrible that it's all we can do, but someone once said to me, "your body knows best what to do, trust in that".

ok another update af arrived in full flow this morning so pleased shes finally arrived and now am hoping my cycles settle down.

i think myabe that funny clots was something to do with a retained placenta but my af kinda made it coem away iykwim.

anyways am really pleased as touch wood when the witch leaves i won't have anymore spotting and my body will go back to normal.

gonna start doing my temps and opks so i can get back in tune with my body til we start ttc again.

always- mine was like that before i had my children. would come whenever it felt like it and would go for months without the after i had my girls they settled a bit and after my misscarriages they went into 28-35 day cycles so hoping after jessica they are still the same and dont go back to being long cycles. so hopefully it might be the same for you. i think the pregnancy hormones etc gave my body the kick it needed and made it realise that actually its better to release an egg every month instead if every month lmao! x

 

[borntobeamum]

So glad AF has arrived. Its funny, when we were younger we moaned about getting them, but now we want them to come and regularly so that we can get on track.

im on day 34, but got infection so that prob is messing me up. I cant even remember how long it was after Erin was born that I got AF, its funny cause you are so busy looking after them that you dont really notice things like that. But when you dont have a baby with you, you notice everything and every day adds up.

Rambled on there a bit, but anyway, fingers crossed your af settles down and after Jessica's results are in you can start to try.

Ahhh fab news babytots!!

 

[AlwaysPraying]

Very good news! Glad to hear. Yeah, hopefully this kicks starts something good for my cycles, who knows though.

I'm sure that next month will be just as good, no spotting. Good luck with ttc when the time comes, may the bug be with you!! I think it's great getting into gear to start ttc again. Not rushing it, but getting ready for it is a good step.
