hormone crash after ERPC

[hopie2015]

Oh my gosh! Sound like symptoms, you two might have today?!
Bernie- is nausea (outside of pg, of course) normal for you? I never really get nauseous, and most I ever experienced it was pregnancy. Are you gonna test tomorrow??!
Jaspie- temp up today and wow- I just don't know. Maybe you can take that digital tomorrow? I'm a bad influence.. I know the dr. told you to wait a week! Glad your guy is doing great.

The new Tropicana sounds awesome, Bernie.. I didn't realize it is a Hilton. Wow- it is hot there. Bet you will still take 90 to our 32 degrees/snow tomorrow?

Blu- how are you? How was Cadbury World? I looked it up and what I would do to have that nearby to go to one day this week! I added it to my Pinterest on 'places to go someday'. I just want to go and eat chocolate all day! I'm alright, thanks.. Trying to get more positive.. no more of this being down stuff..Ugh!

Had nice tea out with workout class last night. I had not gone in a month. They were soo sweet- did a toast to me and told me with stuff they have seen me go through past 6 years that I am so strong. Never really saw it that way, I have felt weak. But really I see all of you on here are so incredibly strong. It just made me feel better to hear. One girl is 7 mos. pregnant and she took out the sonogram pic...I couldn't really look. A lot of pregnancy talk. I was okay with it at the time. But woke up 5am with awful nightmares of what happened. So perhaps it was a bit too much for me to listen thru for an hour.

Anyway, onward and upward!! Can't wait to hear some news on here.

Nausea isnt usually normal for me, and barely even had it when I was preg.... but since i felt that way I tested last night and got BFN so Im thinking it may just be AF and the stress Ive been having. The cramps Im getting today are much more AF like than they were a couple days ago. plus my boobs dont feel like preggo boobs at all. and Last time I just had this overall certainty that I was preg. before I even tested and this month I feel like its wishful thinking so Im going with my gut and continue waiting for AF!
Hopie it sounds like you had a nice time with the girls! I know what you mean about being around pregnant ppl... its really hard when its this fresh! Jaspie- I still think you are in the running... I think its probably best to wait to test next week for certainty and then ask the dr to do Blood work maybe blu- hope you had a nice time with your son for his birthday! Fit- hope everything is going well for you too!

The symptoms sound promising ladies!!! Before I found out I was pregnant with my angel I thought I was getting either a cold or the flu, so that is what early pregnancy was like for me. That would be awesome if there were 2 BFP’s on this thread already – maybe this thread is lucky.

Hopie I hope you get some of the California/Vegas weather your way soon – snow, blech! It is raining here today, but I can’t complain because we’ve had a warm sunny spring thus far. That sounds like a nice time out with your exercise friends, and they’re right – you ARE strong. I can understand how you feel about the u/s pic though…it hurts to think of what we’ve lost. But I think we’ve just been delayed.

Had your DH is doing well Jaspie!

Even though DH and I are preventing until next month (when AF hopefully returns!) I started temping at 5:50 every morning 3 days ago for practice. Hmmm. Morning 1 temp was 36.5, morning 2 36.6 (and had some CM) and today 36.8 – does that mean I’m ovulating? I’m temped to use one of my OPK’s out of curiousity but don’t want to waste them.

 

[bernie86]

Well Im officially out now... AF just showed up! Now I can have a cocktail or.... 10! this weekend and Im on to the next round of just a lot of BDing!!!!! no more thinking about it for this girl!

 

[jaspie]

Sorry about AF Bernie onto your fresh cycle of all the sexytime!! Hope you have a fab time in Vegas and drink lots of cocktails

Hopie you are strong, you're so strong you've been through and are going through so much. And you did well listening to all the pregnancy talk too, that's not easy. It still grates on me a bit. I hope you get to go to Cadbury world one day!

Fit we'd need to see your post ovulation temps to see if you ovulated as it is only confirmed in hindsight when you've had 3 high temps. Keep temping though it tells you so much about your cycle!

I'm wondering if maybe I ovulated 3 days later than i thought as i had ov pain, ewcm and a pos opk i didn't record on my chart cos i thought I'd ov'd already and was having a long surge or a dodgy batch. In this case my prev tests on Mon and Tues are irrelevant really as it would be too early if i implanted on sat/sun when i had cramps which was 8/9 dpo.....i have nausea today too and cramps all day on and off but no af...boobs started getting sore today too behind the nipple in the middle. AF needs to come if it's coming to stop me coming up with these crackpot theories! I'm getting nervous again now!
I start my secondment on 7th Apr and my new line manager gave me a lift home today and we had a lovely chat, she knows about my mc as she's in HR and we're friends too, and she told me she had a mc before her 2nd child. It was so nice to talk to her I'm really glad we'll be working together.

Evening buddies, theres lots of positivity here today 👍
Hopie, cadbury world was really lovely, we ate far too much choccy oooops!! Healthy eating defo slipped.
Jaspie, im glad AF isnt coming, I honestly dont think it will!!
Bernie, sorry AF got you. Ill be hoining you with lots of bedding this cycle... well not literally obviously!!😄
Ds's birthday was lovely, thanks for asking. He had a fab time and is excited for his party this weekend.
The week seems to have flown by but Im looking forward to the weekend off work. AF has come to an end tonight so looking forward to cycle #1 back on the wagon.
Hopie u need to start practising the old sext time if were gonna buddy up haha 😁 x

 

[bernie86]

Everybody should be enjoying the lol! Thats what its all about! Im just trying to remember how many people in this world have oops babies with out the stress of trying.... It sounds so much better that way! (especially when we really want these Babies!)

 

[hopie2015]

LOL! You're right Bernie!
Your 2nd to last post sounded like you knew AF was on the way..and then sure enough. Here's to a new cycle!! And 10 drinks for you in Vegas!! Hope you win big there too, as you so deserve.

Jaspie- whoa..some serious symptoms going on. 'Crackpot theories' lol. Well surely it must be driving you nuts. I mean so many signs and no AF still. I can't wait for you to test again!! So great you like your new manager so much. That is v. important. Thanks for the kind words.. feels good to get called 'strong'!

Thank you Fit! I know zero about temping/charting. Never have done it. I'm going to take Bernie's view... just BD and have fun..no stress, no worry. Surely I should chart/temp to learn my cycle better. Only 2 times we ever had unprotected though, we got pg!!!

Blu- LOL!! You are right. I do!!!! I think I am getting over the sex fear now. I must work on this this weekend since as long as my parents are okay, he and I will stay in the city together. Poor guy. Not sure how he puts up with me.
So glad DS had a great birthday! He must be soo excited for his party. All that choccy sounds SO good.. Am I spelling that right? I love that word.
So have to go there someday. Hopefully with a little one!
Congrats on start of new cycle. Yay!

Looking forward to Friday updates! Good luck Jaspie!!

 

[jaspie]

Morning all! So another temp rise for me but when I tested i got even lighter tests than earlier in the week so I think we can safely say I'm out unless i ovulated late and implanted late which I think is unlikely. Anyway I'm still cool with whatever happens, i just want to know and for af to hurry up so i can put this behind me! Happy Friday hope you all have a great day xx

 

[hopie2015]

You sound great, Jaspie! Yes, seems the line would appear at least a bit darker by now. Either way you are fine with..and that is great! If it not this month, it will be some month soon! Just enjoy your weekend and live it up.
Hope everyone is having a good start to the weekend. Happy Spring..1st day! Snow storm here though.
Bernie- have a great time in Vegas!!
Blu- have fun with the birthday party!
Fit- enjoy your weekend!
Looking forward to everyone's updates.

 

[bernie86]

have a great weekend ladies!!!! Hope to see you all enjoyed your weekends when I get back Tuesday!!!! xoxox

 

[Blu10]

Hi Ladies how are we all?
Any progress with the tests now Jaspie? Will check your journal too.
All is well here, we had a great day yesterday at DS birthday party, followed by a chilled evening with hubs watching a new series and enjoying a Chinese. I really need to get the healthy eating back on track tomorrow though once the birthday cake has gone!
I'm feeling really positive about things this last week, I was relieved that AF showed up on time and we will definitely be DTD lots this month so if it happens it happens! I'm trying to focus on us just having fun and hopefully that will lead to a BFP at some point soon.
Today I'm going to be catching up on housework and finding places for all DS new toys. Happy Sunday to me fave girlies x

 

[jaspie]

AF showed up this morning! So at least now I'm out of limbo. Feeling ok about it. We won't be able to ttc this cycle cos OH's back is healing but we should be good to go next cycle! Hope you've all had great weekends!

 

[Blu10]

Oh Jaspie, im sorry hunni. Sounds like maybe a chemical?
On with new cycle, think positive at least your body is healing x

 

[jaspie]

Maybe, I'm not sure. The tests were strange but this cycle has just been so weird who knows. Anyway onwards and upwards! Hopefully af will get rid of anything left over that might be causing me to have faint bfps now.

 

[Blu10]

Im sure it will. Love the positive attitude. We will nail it soon.i read a poll on here sat and 40% of ladies got BFP on cycle 2 after a loss, lets join them 😊

 

[hopie2015]

Hi friends!
Glad you had good weekends.
Jaspie-- seems you sure were starting to think it was more AF on the way than getting a darker line on the test. Now your body is totally re-set and that next cycle you guys can try again, I have a very good feeling will be it!
Perfect..give your body new time. Fresh, new start for all of us in the coming months!

That is a great stat, Blu.. Thanks! Glad you are feeling very positive and DS had a great birthday. Is the cake gone yet? Can I have some? These sweet cravings are killing me.

It is still freezing here. All of NYC dressed around like it is January still. Getting nuts. I've decided I'm not starting healthy eating now until April 1st.

Trying to stay positive. My mom hasn't been well now. Just one thing after another. but trying hard!
On own today, so going to check out the Macy's flower show to cheer up. Think of positives of being unemployed-- events are less crowded on the work days!

Bernie- how was Vegas? Fit- what's new?

Hope your Mondays are going well. Great you are doing well Jaspie.
Here's to a fresh, new start!

 

[Fit_Mama2Be]

Hi Girls!

Hopie I’m sorry to hear your mom isn’t feeling well – prayers and positive thoughts for your family. Hope your weather improves soon too! That’s a drag, having it feel like January in March.

Blu, glad to hear your son’s birthday party went well.

Bernie hope you had a fabulous time in Vegas and enjoyed your drink or ten!

Jaspie, sorry to hear about AF showing up, but glad you have such a positive attitude about it. It is a clean slate and I’m sure you’ll get your BFP as soon as DH is recovered. Glad you got to have a fun drinking night out!

I had an OK weekend.

Saturday woke up bright and early and went to hot yoga – had a great class! I’d been wondering about hot yoga and pregnancy (I was told to avoid it, which I did) and there was a veeery pregnant woman in my class, so I chatted with her about it after class. She has practiced throughout her current and previous pregnancy and her advice was to just listen to my body and it will tell me what type of exercise is okay and what isn’t.

DH and I also had the dentist on Saturday (fun, fun). My dentist noticed my lack of a bump right away and asked me what happened (you wouldn’t believe how many people fail to register this and ask me how my pregnancy is going!). Anyway, she is the sweetest and said I will absolutely get pregnant again and have a healthy baby. She also said my body is on the acidic side which could make it take longer for me to get pregnant. She suggested I see a naturopath who can help me reduce the acid levels in my body. I really don’t want to wait forever to get pregnant, so off to the naturopath I go! Out of all the doctors I’ve seen lately, who would think I’d get the best fertility advice from my dentist, LOL.

Sunday we were supposed to go to a get together with DH’s whole family, but it was unfortunately cancelled due to my FIL taking a sudden turn for the worse. My BIL is making it sound like FIL is not even going to live long enough to have further treatment. Don’t know if that’s the case or he’s just being pessimistic, but we’re going to visit FIL so I suppose we can draw our own conclusions.

Last night I poured some wine, lit some candles and just had a good cry. Sounds sad, but I actually found it really cathartic. I just let go and let myself feel everything. I thought of Christmas, such a short time ago. I was pregnant and my inlaws were headed to Arizona for several months (they should still be there!) and FIL was telling me how excited he was for their trip and most of all for our baby! Now the baby is gone and my FIL soon will be too…we don’t even know if he’ll still be alive when what would have been my due date rolls around. It felt good to get mad and cry and acknowledge that none of this is fair, and that it really sucks. Now I can go back to having optimism.

Hope everyone has a great week. I have a couple of lunches scheduled and as well as a lot of exercise sessions.

 

[Blu10]

Fitmama in so sorry to hear about your FIL, it never rains when it pours does it! Hope he has a little longer with you all. Hugs xx

Hopie - hows mum doing? The last of the cake has been devoured, there is a small slice headed to NYC first class haha. Hope it warms up a little soon. We had a gorge weekend here but its much cooler again now with rain forecast all week.

Bernie did you enjoy vegas? Hope you took a cocktail for us all?

Jaspie, I read your TTC journal earlier, sorry youre feeling crappy today. I think its so hard not to remember the milestones and some days are so tough. I was asked twice at work today when were going to have another baby from people who dont know whats happened and its so awkward. I dont want to share the details with everyone. Big hugs to you x

Im feeling pretty knackered tonight and so is DH so think werr gonna have an early nite x

 

[hopie2015]

Oh Fit, I am really sorry to hear that. I hope your FIL does have much longer.. I know pessimistic thinking all too well..hopefully the reality will be more optimistic. I hope and pray for your FIL to have good treatment and more years.

I wanted to write to say I might not be on for a bit. forgot laptop charger.. Want to say more but heading on train to the hospital. I am a mess as i write this..my mom had to go to the hospital... My fiance and dad are with her...They are doing tests now.. I don't know how it got to this point..what is happening It was the saddest conversation I have ever had in my life with her an hour ago.. Thank you so much for your much needed prayers and wishes. I feel like I can't take anymore.

I love you guys..you are all the best. I hope to be in touch soon. xx
