hormone crash after ERPC

[bernie86]

Jaspie- I dont know if I have symptoms or not because all I feel is little tiny cramps and nothing but a slight tingle in my bbs. But I feel like those can be in my head because its only been 6 days! I dont really think I had anything last time either, but I probably wasnt paying much attention because we were much more relaxed about trying and I wasnt tracking anything just knew i was late

 

[bernie86]

Jaspie- did you get a faint line on your test????

 

[jaspie]

No! Well yes but it's leftover from last time! Its not a new bfp. My hpt was not quite neg it was a squinter before when i ovulated so it's just what's left. It's too early to tell if it's a new one yet. I just posted it so i could compare over the next few days to see if it gets darker or lighter if no new pregnancy. I'm a poasaholic as if I thought I could hold out to 12dpo!

 

[jaspie]

I've put a little disclaimer at the top of that post saying it is not my bfp! I can see it looks like it is at first glance!

 

[bernie86]

oh ok gotcha! So did you not have an AF yet? sorry If you've said this and Im not remembering Mine were all completely neg 3 weeks after my D&C so that would make sense if you havent had AF yet

 

[jaspie]

Nope not had af yet. D&C was 5 weeks ago today, i was 13 weeks then so I guess that's why it's taken so long to drop? I wasn't sure if I would ov but read you can with hcg of less than 25 so I'm really glad I've been charting so i can see that i did or I'd be none the wiser and wondering when the hell I'd get af!

 

[bernie86]

I'll be sending out prayers for you!!! I know its hard to not want to test! Im thinking 10DPO but really I should just wait to see if I miss my period. I'll see how I feel once Im there.

 

[jaspie]

Thanks Bernie I'll be doing the same for you it's so hard not to cave isn't it! Should and would are two different things haha!

Hey my girlies, hope everyone had a good day!
Hopie I feel like blowing up that awful company for you, how awful 😠😠. How are you doing my lovely? Glad skiing was enjoyable.
Today was good, interviews were pain staking as half of the people didnt turn up (mega annoying).
Jaspie - im so hoping it may be the start of a new BFP for you and crossing everything that its not leftover from before.
Ive got very slightly sore (.)(.) tonight so banking on AF soon. Be glad for it to be over with now.
So glad its friday tomorrow - what do you all have planned for the weekend?
Oh and Hopie... I hope your mum is better soon xx

Morning ladies! Hope we get to see some BFP's in this thread in the near future!!

I took a pregnancy test about a week ago and it was negative...the last and only time I'm going to be happy to see a BFN, lol. Hoping aunt flo returns at the beginning of April and doesn't keep me waiting.

Thanks for the positive words re worrying ladies. Jaspie that is very wise what your counsellor said about not feeding the wolves and missing out on the present if you spend too much time worrying about the future.

When I told one of the doctors about how long we tried w/out success a few years ago he said "well something is obviously different now." Think I might know what that something is but only time will tell...if I manage to get another BFP then I'll know for sure!

Hope your mom is doing better hopie.

My FIL is opting for aggressive chemo which should give him another 2-3 years. DH and I really, really hope he gets to meet our child. I always took it for granted that if we had kids he'd be one of their grandpas (along with my dad) - how quickly things can change.

Looks like it will be a beautiful day here, I am going for a run at lunch. Hope you all have lovely weather too.

Today would have been my little one's gender revealing u/s but I'm going to try to have a good day in spite of this - we just have to wait a bit longer before we get to meet our future children ladies, but they will get here!

 

[bernie86]

Hope you ladies are all having a great start to your weekends! its not even noon here yet and Im ready for the work day to be over! I have not been feeling so great today... slightly nauseated since I woke up and I feel exausted. I'm hoping this is a good sign for 7 DPO but I dont want to get my hopes up

 

[Blu10]

Oooh Bernie how exciting, lets hope theyre baby signs. U am so ready for this weekend, were taking DS to the theatre tomorrow then pizza express which will be nice. Were on countdown to his birthday now.
How did your run go fit?
Any update on testing jaspie?
I tested today, BFN which is cool, at least I know im at baseline now x

 

[jaspie]

Exciting Bernie! Everything crossed for you!
Yes Blu, i keep testing and it looks like it might be getting darker, but they're still so light it's hard to tell. And I'm wary of the ICs. I'm going to buy some frers today to use over the next few days so that if there is progression I can see it more easily!
Your Saturday sounds lovely Blu. Hope you all have a great weekend I need to distract myself I'm going crazy so we're off out soon!

Hi my friends!
So many exciting updates on here! Thank you for the kind words and wishes for my mom to feel better now too. When it rains, it pours. I'm telling God/the universe/whoever is up there I have had enough, please!!

Jaspie--wow- the lines are appearing darker?! Exciting!
So funny your counselor said that about the wolves too. My c. was saying I can't keep feeding the bad wolves (the fear, and the jerks at my old job).. I have to feed only the good wolves. It all made sense to me. Hard for me to practice, but I am trying.
I have so many fears of being pg again but if I made it through other bad things in my life, I can make it through again if something bad were to happen. But again, I need to focus on a positive outcome.
Omg..the Bump-- yes- it was exactly like that! I couldn't believe soon to be moms would treat one another like that. I mean, we women have it hard enough in life. Why be cruel to each other?
Thank goodness I found you guys!

Bernie- yes, perhaps better to just wait until you are a day late? Just my two cents, but what do I know! Exciting for you and have everything crossed!

Fit- great news on your negative test. Now can start from new. I so hear you with wanting your father-in-law to meet your baby.. I am praying and hoping hard for you that you get your bfp soon.. i have such a good feeling for you. Good that he is going to do intensive chemo and that will give him more years and hopefully many more than the 3 said by the doctor. Hope you ended up having a good and a fun day with the plans you made.. I know that must have been tough as it was to be the day of the u/s. Such a great plan you put into place to have a positive day!

Blu- how are you?? The negative test just shows you are ready to start from new again and sounds like AF is any day now! Keeping everything crossed for you as well. I know there will be some positives on here soon.
You made me laugh-- thanks! I like that others also would like to blow up that old so called 'company' I used to work for.

I'm back in the city. Love my parents to death but glad to have a break from Connecticut where it is just me and fiance. Have aunt's 90th birthday party today. Plan is to drink lots of wine finally. I have not drank since early December!!! Will probably take me 1 glass to get me looped. Since all signs of O are here, wish me that sexy dust that I get some sort of drive going and plan of attack with DF. He will be shocked. Poor guy is so deprived since early December, it's pathetic.
I feel like the desire for baby is now stronger than the fear. Plus it is definitely contagious from you guys on this board!! Which I appreciate. After my first mc years ago, I was too scared to try again.

So here's hoping! Can't wait to see your updates. Enjoy your Saturday!!! x

 

[Blu10]

Jaspie I have a good feeling about this!! Im waiting for the frer pic! Hopie - jump him, fast!! Hahaha.
We had a lovely morning at the theatre then pizza for lunch. Need to get a mothers day gift this afternoon then its time to relax for a few hours.
Any more sigbs Bernie?? X

 

[jaspie]

Fab update hopie! You sound great! The party sounds great and love that you're ovulating too so you can make a baby tonight! Watch out DH!
Blu I'm completely terrified to be honest. Scared I'm seeing things or the tests are dodgy. I got really bad cramps and heaviness for a couple hrs earlier and thought af was coming so went to the toilet in asda to check but nothing but white cm. They've stopped now so I'm feeling a bit more hopeful. Though still scared! Going to do a frer tomorrow then save the other frer for 2 days after if there's a line so I can see if it's darker. Really wish I hadn't started testing so early but i just couldn't help it!

 

[Blu10]

I totally cant wait to see your frer!! My boobs feel sore and i cant feel my cervix but AF should be due roughly tomorrow, its been 2 weeks tomorrow since I think I ovulated and would be CD30. BFN yesterday so just waiting on AF now then were going to be at it like little bunnies post AF haha 😀 good luck testing tomorro xx

 

[hopie2015]

Hi! Stupid question-- what is frer? I figure pregnancy test? Best of luck wishes are with you Jaspie.
Just remember Bernie/Jaspie--if not this month then definitely one month very soon!
Blu- how are you? Hope AF arrives and leaves nice and quick!

Well..only me. I had it all planned out and it failed miserably. First, the 90th birthday party was in a nursing home and they didn't allow booze. My fiance's family comes from Ireland. To say I have never been to a social function of their's without alcohol is an understatement.
So then we got home and DF said his stomach was killing (didn't help that we consumed about 5,000 calories of food and cake), and that his back hurt. Now his back never hurts!!!!! So basically we passed out.
He had to go to his dad's too so no luck I am thinking now this month.
It was comical, really.

So, onward and upward!! Heading now solo to walk around Chinatown.
Looking forward to hearing from you guys!

 

[jaspie]

Oh Hopie a birthday without booze eh, if i get to 90 i will insist on it! How about you arrange for date night and have some quality time and good food and wine? And then get sexy! If he's in the mood do you think you could bd tonight and still catch it? Positive opks are sometimes good for a couple of days right!
Well my frer (first response early result pregnancy test) had a faint pink line come up within a minute which is good but I'm still sceptical that it's not leftover so I'm going to test with my other frer again on Tuesday. If it's a new pregnancy it should be darker by then.
How exciting Blu you're almost at the start of a new cycle! Couple of weeks from now you'll be ovulating!

 

[Blu10]

Hey everyone!! How was the weekend for you?
All good here, no sign of AF yet and testing BFN so just have to ride it out, hope the witch arrives soon.
Im so hopeful for you Jaspie, cant wait to see tuesdays FRER!
Hopie... what kind of home doesnt allow alcohol???? My gosh!! Im sorry you didnt get to DTD, I agree with Jaspie, have some vino at home and get jiggy haha.
Oh and Ive sent in the job application tonight 😁 xx
