Going insane

[samzi]

I have no idea when to expect AF and its driving me mad. I have no idea when i OV or anything. After the m/c we have started TTC again but my god when will my body let me know whats going on.

Argh!

Hello sweets.

Sorry for your loss. I think I was one of the lucky ones? whose body went back to normal quite quickly. Except the heavy painful periods though which have since developed.

You could try OPK to see if/when you are ovulating?

My periods took about 28 days to come back after both miscarriages and OV is roughly the same time as before.

Thanks Rump.

I find it so hard to work out when ov shud be etc. And should i go from the first day of my last period or what? Its so confusing

 

[Rumpskin]

I would give it a few cycles to calm down if it hasnt done so already. The only way that I knew that I was OV was when I used OPK (Clearblue ones). They worked really well for me and took all the hard work out of guessing too.

I seem to get really bad O pain now which is fantastic so I dont need to spend lots of money on kits.

It has taken me a few cycles to work out what is going on so I wouldnt give yourself a hard time.

I think i had ov pains the other day cos i recognised it. But will see i guess.

 

[Rumpskin]

Mine have definitely become more intense and I am having them now as I type

 

[samzi]

If thats what i had the other day, it wasnt that bad. Whats annoying is that the other day my left breast was tingly again(and again today actually) like it was when i was preg and i was also feeling sick, infact i still am it hasnt gone away all day

Ive ordered some cheapies that should come in a few days. Whats the betting i will do one, even though theres probably no point.

 

[Rumpskin]

I had the tingling too but did not fall pregnant that month. I would defo try the cheapys to see if you get any response. Worth a go?

 

[samzi]

I guess so, but the question is when?

 

[Rumpskin]

I am not sure for the IC but when I used the CB ones, you have to start testing at a certain time of your cycle dependant on the length of it. Check out their website xxx

Thanks hun

Lol this is why I highly recommend people to start trying only after they’ve experienced at least one AF. Otherwise you’ll go crazy not knowing where you are in your cycle! And whether or not you should have that sip of wine… or that seafood dinner. It’s much better to be in control of your body in order to stay mentally stable.

I had similar experience just waiting for my first AF to come after m/c. if you want to read about it, my blog is www.ttcaftermcs.blogspot.com and start from the first post when I began going mad.

I know where you are coming from sam.

I had a mmc on the 3rd November and counted that as day 1 and used cheapie OPKs that cycle ( i believe i started using them as soon as i got a negative hpt which wasn't for a few weeks after the erpc). Didn't get a positive until the 6/12 which was fine only they kept coming up positive until the 16/12 which was totally driving me mad. I did have what i thought was ov pain early in the cycle but in hindsight it may well just have been my uterus shrinking again.

Anyway a/f finally showed up on the 30/12 (8wks after the erpc) only it's not been like a proper a/f which is again confusing but now we can start trying again. I will start at cd 1 again and hope that my cycles return to the normal 28 days they were before the miscarriage. Well, I actually hope a/f doesn't return and i get a before hand.

I'm sorry for your loss and hope that your body returns to normal asap.

Thanks guys, all very helpful

Before the BFP i was on the pill,i came off that in sept and had break through bleed a few days later, this was the 19th i think, oct i had my first proper period on the 22nd oct and that where they got the 7+2 for the bubs. So there was 3 days difference. When trying to sort out what the cycle is would you add the three days onto the 28 to work out what cd im on now? Or not?

Still feeling sick

It really is worth getting to know your body and then mc or not, you should be able to know whereabouts you are in your cycle. I can now read my CM, CP and even just those little niggles and aches and only really use OPK's to confirm what i already know.

I too am in my 1st 'cycle' after mc...had no AF yet, but I know my ERPC was 9th Dec, I started my 'cycle' about a week later, Ov'd on the 31st and will be testing in a few days, to receive my BFN, cos unless my body has thrown me totally after ERPC, I don't believe we caught this month.

I guess its the same way I subconsciously knew I had lost my baby....I was expecting them to tell me that I'd had an mmc, and it was no surprise when they did.....although it was still just as devastating.

I know you are frustrated sweetie, but you need to remember that your body will only do it when its ready....it needs to heal, physically and emotionally, and if you aren't Ov'ing yet, its cos its not ready for another pregnancy just yet. It will happen soon I'm sure xx

 

[samzi]

I have cheapie tests that will arrive and i know i will do one even though it will most probably be BFN. Im not a POAS addict just yet but not far off when i know i have them to use!

Posted this in my TTC journal but thought, i would here too!

--------------

Well im all excited

Just been to the loo and have pink when wipe, yippee! Its either AF finally coming after the miscarriage or its inplanation. We will see. Excited either way though. Its most probably the former!! If its the former then i can sort my ticker out so i know when OV is etc, and if its the latter well

 

[Orange lady]

Hooray Samzi. All good news.

 

[samzi]

It cant be implanation im 99% sure, but then again it has stopped for the mo. Which is what happened last month. Will have to wait and see now
