Bobster, did your doc say that your bleeding was normal?? You must be getting so frustrated!

 

[mackjess]

Thanks Bobster, I've been feeling better the last few days because I feel worse. Bbs hurt like crazy and waves of queasiness hit me. It's like I'm gambling while I'm deciding to stay seated at my desk for another minute or hightail it to the bathroom in case I get sick.

I remember that my doctor said the only time Ibuprofen STOPs bleeding is when it's menstrual bleeding and that if it went on for longer than a week after my m/c to take 600mg twice a day til it stopped. I did start taking it at the end, and it slowed down enough that I was spotting after about 2 days so I quit and it stopped soon after. Might be something worth trying or asking your doc about. You're probably getting low on iron and feeling exhausted with all that going on! And we need this to stop so you can get your eggy and get into your 2WW!

Hey ladies,

When you do finally hear from your doctor mlm I hope they'll be asking you in for more bloods. It's a couple of days since your last test so if it's not left over hcg (which i dont think it is) then let's hope the numbers have doubled. Were your pee sticks darker this morning?

Bobster that's rubbish your still bleeding. Let's hope after this it will all be back on track.

Yey mackjess, tomorrow is your check up- please let us know how it goes and what advice they give you.

As for me well, no spotting but cm is back and quite creamy- sorry tmi. I have no idea if that was implantation bleeding or not on Monday but is something I've not had before and the dull lower back ache that accompanied it was strange too-and also disappeared by the late evening. I did test this morning with super sensitive Internet cheapie and it was bfn. But technically it is only 6dpo but is 48 hours since IB (if thats what is was!) so hoped I would get a faint line. So I guess I'm still in limbo. No other symptoms. Will test again Saturday (9dpo) if I can wait that long!

Jane, creamy cm could mean a bfp is coming soon for you! I hope so!

I just took a test, and the line is actually much lighter than the one I took yesterday. Looks like its not my time yet.

Sorry to hear that mlm. They were the same brand? Think you said you bought a 3 pack?

Can you make an appointment to go into your doc rather than waiting for them to call?

 

[bobster]

Hi girls thanks for your advice about the prolonged bleeding. I've been reading up on it on the internet and have scared myself half to death

I have tried the ibuprofen today so lets hope that helps a bit. Its not as heavy as before but still red and enough to wear a pad with no cramps whatsoever. Really scared its something serious and just want O to come goddammit!

MLM - keep positive. I know its hard when we worry so much but you're getting lines now and remember you had no lines at all before so that has to be good. Tests can look the same if done day by day as your hcg will still be low for a little while and urine dilution can drastically effect the colour of the line. Try to stay positive and keep us updated about what happens with your dr/bloods.

Mackjess i'm so glad you are feeling sick! I want to be feeling sick too lol! I'm glad it feels more real for you now. Hope you can start to relax after tomorrow and enjoy it.

Jane- boo on the bfn but like you say its still soooo early. I think testing at 9dpo or even 11dpo if you can wait would be much better but I know how hard it is i'm the same. Its good your bleeding was so short though, looks positive.

I'm so worried that I have something wrong with me. Can't go to the Dr until next week now unless I can get a same day appointment on Friday. Everytime I go there though I feel like they're fobbing me off and always leave feeling unhappy... I don't want to find out somethings seriously wrong either. Scared.. Don't know my body anymore its awful. I have taken some iron today on your advice. Thank you all

 

[bobster]

Oh my giddy aunt I only have 6 days until my normal ovulation date. Its never going to happen with all this horrid bleeding! I hope it goes away soon I'm so fed up of it!

 

[mackjess]

Hoping that evil witch leaves you alone soon! And I know how you feel about the same day places. They usually aren't worth your time. Did you schedule an appt next week? You could always cancel it if your bleeding quit and you felt better. It's so terrible how this gets drug out for some ladies! You have no pain though, so I would think that is a good sign. I think babydoodle (omg she might be from another thread, my brain is garbled) had a really looong AF as well and everything turned out OK.

 

[mlm115]

Bobster, sometimes the Internet is a great resource (like here) and sometimes it is just plain scary! Besides the bleeding, you are feeling ok so that is good. Can you call and speak with a nurse? I'm sure you would have pain or something if it was very serious.

 

[mlm115]

I agree with Mackjess, make the appt and you can always cancel if you need to. Hope af gives you a break soon!!

 

[bobster]

Thanks both reading your comments made me feel a bit better. I think you are right about the internet, its bad to self diagnose and doesn't always do you mental health any good. I will look up that name and see what I find. Its good to know that other people have experienced it too out there. I will call the Dr friday morning and try to get an appointment after I finish work.

Thank you. I'm so glad I can talk to people about these worries

Mlm- try to stay positive. Mackjess is right you wouldn't get negative hpt after the mc if this were retained from the mc. You also said you had 2 ultrasounds so its surely nearly impossible. Are your tests getting darker? I'm sure they will monitor your hcg try not to worry

Welcome MrsPhez- sorry for your loss You said you were getting ewcm- did anything come of it with your temps? Are you doing opk's too? Hopefully you are in the 2ww now!

Jane - so happy your bleeding has stopped! When do you plan to test? If it were ib you must be in line for a very early bfp. I really really hope we can make it 3 out of 4 bfp's and then wayyyyy down the line 4/4!!!

Mack- I read that you were worried about twingy- I am sure twinges and feelings are the same. I'm also sure we'll all worry about the same things but I hope you can start to relax and enjoy it more after the 29th. Gosh only 2 days! I will have you in my thoughts. Would love to see a scan pic of your little beanie too!

AFM- I'm STILL bleeding- everytime I think its tailing off it comes back again. Its still bright red too. BOO So fed up of it- really just want to get on the bd'ing now! cd 13 for me! what the heck is going on with my stupid body???? The only thing that I can think of it that i'm having 2 periods for the one I missed. Never ever bled this long before. I hope I ovulate on cd 20 like normal.

Well it's day 3 of the strectchy cm and not really anything exciting happening on my opks, I'm doing like 3 a day to amke sure I catch it! Have read it can take 6 days of EWCM before o so there's still time. But I am prepared for all kinds of randomness after the m/c. Got a scan next Friday for a 5cm ovarian cyst which was picked up at my m/c scan so we'll see what's going on there too. Do yo guys know long you have the fertile mucus (got I hate that word) before o?

Good luck on Saturday! I didn't get a pos till 11dpo so there's still plenty of time!

That sucks, hope it turns itself around, you never know...

 

[GI_Jane]

Mrs phez, I don't know the answer completely but according to the fertility friend tutorial on cm, you o on the last day that you observe ewcm. Hope that helps a bit.

Good luck for your appointment today mackjess. Is DH going with you?

 

[MrsPhez]

Thanks GI Jane, I guess it's not ewcm then, maybe a precursor. Think I might go bit fertility sign mad soon, not good!

Edit: I am losing it, just re-eread your post and it clearly says the last day of ewcm, not you only get one day of ewcm. I need help!

 

[bobster]

Good luck mackjess x

 

[mackjess]

dh is going. I think I only slept about 3 hours last night. It's going to be a long day.
