how long did it take for your hormones to show negative

[slg76]

tooty--sorry you are still uncomfortable. I am cycle day 34 I think since my mc. All this time I have had weird twinges and pains and cramps. Nothing severe and nothing consistent. The pains move all over my abdomen and come and go. Not sure what causes it but I chalk it up to fluctuating hormones.

Kim--I say "it is what it is" a lot too! I was a total stress case when I was younger. I've been so much happier since I've tried to stop controlling everything.

I actually forgot that I needed to go get a beta today! I'll make an apt to go in tomorrow morning instead.

I feel like there's no "normal" mc. Everyone's different and every mc is different. None of mine have been the same. But I hope all our mc's are over by the beginning of the year!

I'm so crampy today

 

[klsltsp]

Wow... I cant believe you went through that! You really are inspiring..and I think its a good saying too lol!

I noticed you are in Ontario too.. where abouts?

I won't lie, it was hard being on my own with an infant, but I chose to loove it, I got to decide everything I sometimes struggle now with sharing hahaha I love being his everything. I also find now that I've found the person I am truly meant to be with that I do appreciate everything much more, and I am much better and letting go of the little things that drive you crazy!! hahaha

I'm in Ottawa, where abouts are you?

I have huge respect for single parents!! My sister's husband passed away when their dd was 10 months. I never really understood what it must have been like for her until I had my own child. My husband travels a lot for work. It's not nearly the same thing but it gives me a little taste of it. I have to say there are occasional times where I think being a single parent would be nice....especially when trying to compromise on parenting decisions!

 

[klsltsp]

yeah being a single parent is hard, I was on my own for 4 years, but I looved it to. Discipline was easy because it was consistent because it was just me!! hahaha

You get into a routine and don't think anything of it. Having said that I wouldn't trade having a supportive and loving partner any day.. especially now that I know what it's supposed to be like!

 

[LeahLou]

I actually really enjoyed single parent hood. My ex did some nasty things that sent me into preterm labor at 28 weeks and I was stuck in the hospital for 6 weeks and bed rest till she came at 36 weeks. After that, he left us but would come back, be awful and leave again. I finally have sole custody and my hubby will go for adoption once we have the funds.

I usually have that "it is what it is" attitude but between the hormones rising and dropping I've been much more vulnerable to my emotions.

 

[slg76]

Leah, good for you for getting to a good place with your child and no partner. I absolutely think no partner is better than a bad one although I understand getting comfortable and feeling safe in a bad relationship.
Some days are definitely harder to think "it is what it is". Hormones can be a bitch!

 

[slg76]

I have been sooo sleepy for the last week or two. I don't know if it's hormones or pregnant (probably not). I'm always low energy but this is ridiculous. All I want to do is sleep. I'm going to blame it on the hormones because nobody can argue with that
I just stopped giving my daughter naps but boy does mommy need one today!

 

[LeahLou]

We weren't together after the labor incident, but I tried to have my daughter know who her father was but it turns out he was just a sperm donor. Now my DH and I think we must of had a drunken one night stand and she's actually his (just joking). But, Emilia not only looks like him but has some of his personality too!

I'm glad you found yourself a good relationship too

Hormones are a pain!!

 

[klsltsp]

Leah wow thats scary stuff..you are one strong lady!! its awesome that so many of us have found the good men out there!!

 

[slg76]

I'm very lucky to have found my husband. He is so supportive and will do anything for me. Just had to wait till I was 27 to find him.

I love the name Emilia. I think my Emily would have been an Amelia but my husband is a pilot and we couldn't do with bad Amelia Earhart jokes!

 

[LeahLou]

Sometimes I look back and wonder how I survived. But what doesn't kill you makes you stronger My hubby found me really soon after everything had gone down with my ex and I was super reluctant. He had to try for 2 months just to take me out for dinner! But he's a keeper

I still get some Amelia Earhart comments and we don't have anything to do with planes or flying! But it was the only name her sperm donor could agree with and I was still trying to care at the time. But it's grown on me

 

[tootyfruity]

Thank you to all who have replied to my question, it has helped enormously to know that it's probably my body getting back to normal. I can be a worrier and when I get something in my head it's hard to shift it lol.
I would love to get a scan but the epu won't do it now I've got a negative test.

Leah I like the name Emilia too: )

 

[Petzy]

It's a gorgeous name

Hi ladies, I'm wondering if I can join you? I had an early loss, about 5 weeks, that started 11/22. My HPTs seem to still have a little evap line (just ICs). I'm hoping that does mean that my hcg is super low?

So far my midwives don't seem too rushed to check on me - had blood beta taken Friday and no one called yesterday with results I had thought I was just about done bleeding on Sunday, the. It picked up again yesterday, bright red. But it's brown this morning so maybe this is really the end.

So sorry for all your losses

Qwk, so sorry you are here! But you are in good company... very supportive lovely ladies are all you will find.

You are probably right that the brown spotting indicates you are probably coming to the end... with you being at 5 weeks, it should only be a few days (I was at 7 weeks and it was one week), so hopefully the worst is done for you. The best way to evaluate your cycle I think is to treat the M/C as CD1 (the main day where you passed most of the conception materials). Again, so sorry you are here, but your cycle should get back to normal quickly.

That's too bad they didn't call you with the HCG result yet... Can you call them for it? If you are showing a faint line or evap on HPT, you are right it is probably very low now which is good.

 

[LeahLou]

So so sorry qwk

If you're having light tests, that's an awesome sign! My test was super faint when my level was 38 then it still barely showed up at 14 but then went negative when I finally hit 0!

Brown is good but give yourself time. I bled for a week and a half and they put me on meds to stop bleeding and induce a period.. AF never came I O'd instead.. But I hope they take good care of you. Definitely call and get your numbers!

Also, thank you ladies for the sweet words! I love the name Emilia and the toddler that goes with it

Sorry for your loss.

My experience, I did go from heavy bleeding to light bleeding to brown spotting and it picking up again to heavy bleeding then light then brown and back to heavy bleeding where I passed last piece of pregnancy. This over 7 weeks. I had faint positives at week 3 and it did not change until I passed the last bit. 4 days later I tested negative. The EPU would not scan me either since they did the pregnancy test first and it came out negative so they said no need....

Everyone experiences a mc differently, let's hope though that you get through your mc without it dragging on and as painless as possible.

As for your blood results I would be tempted to telephone and ask rather than wait - I'm not very patient and need to know so that would be my move.

Good luck

Hope you're doing ok today Qwk xx
