Leahlou... good to see you back.

I had one positive to take from shitty relapse. When I wrnt to gp to get steroids I booked a double appointment so we could discuss miscarriage. She has taken the chemical into account so 3 losses in row now in 3 years of trying. Gp agreed to refer to a specialist for testing. I know this offers no guarantees but feels like a step forward for us....

Wb Leah.

Waiting for my period then we are done TTC naturally because of a tubal factor. She confirmed my chemicals and believes they were also failed tubal implants and bad initial combos. So up to 2 clinical and 5 chemical. My RE and three other doctors are working to get my autoimmune under control and we are hoping to be able to do a two blast IVF transfer in June. We have good eggs and sperm, but someone forgot to tell them that the expressway has closed down.

Hi everyone
I'm sorry for all of your losses. I've been ttc #1 since last August and found bnb such an amazing place to share and be supportive with other ladies.
Where I am now - I got my first bfp on January 11 (cb digital 1-2 wks) but sadly mc at 5w6d on 22nd January. Had been having cramps the whole time but put it down to my ibs and wasn't worried. HCG was 221 at 4w4d. On 22nd I woke up and just didn't feel pregnant anymore - not tired or lightheaded, and no sore boobs. Hpt was still positive but faint. Mid morning had 10 mins of severe cramps and in the afternoon I started spotting. During the evening it became heavier with painful af cramps. Mc confirmed the next day by ultrasound. I was devastated
HCG on day of mc was 60. Everything seemed quite straightforward, bleeding continued heavy for a couple of days then tapered off into spotting, which stopped on 30th, 8 days after mc. I felt exhausted, weak and dizzy afterwards which has gradually been improving. HCG five days after mc was 6. Today was the first day I felt really able to go out and do things but I still feel a bit drained.
Sorry for such a long post but I feel like it helps to keep saying what happened. I still feel sad of course but ready to move forward in a positive way. We bd for the first time today. We didn't use any contraception. There's so much conflicting info about whether you should wait for af or not but I feel like it was an early and natural mc, and my bleeding stopped/HCG dropped quickly so I should be ok to ttc again. Would love to hear your thoughts!

cl59 after my first mc I tcc and concieved and all was ok we tcc this time as well but doubt I have been that lucky again


Just wondering had anyone else had mid cycle spotting after mc mine started 5 days ago again after I had a little before what I think was ovulation but went away till now. It is driving me mad, I doubt its implantation spotting should of stopped by now and I am actually hoping I am not pregnant as it will be hard enough worring about another mc with out the added stress of spotting . Its reminding me of the spotting I had at start of mc and I just want AF to start so I can start a new cycle

Cl - im sorry for your loss

Celtic - wow thats basically me this month. Had 2 days of light spotting and cramping...thought it was ib..tested...got 3 wicked evaps then all bfn. Now im waiting for af to arrive. So now im wondering what that spotting was. Im hoping it wasnt af...that would have been a super short cycle and that means I would miss ovulation for this cycle...oh im a mess! This is my second cycle post dnc. Click on my journal to see all my posts and tests about it!! Craziness!

it is just so annoying
I am wondering if this is AF for me as well and if it is what will it mean for this new cycle
I am off to have a look at your journal

 

[nugget80]

Celtic I have had mid cycle bleed/spotting but I think mine could be due to high dose steroids messing me about. Happened last time on steroids.

 

[CelticNiamh]

Heather I checked out your journal and that is just crazy I hope you feel better do you use fertility friend at all, I know my chart is crazy but it does help with pinpointing ovulation helped me get pregnant before

Nugget it could be my maca I am taking, but I doubt it that balances out hormones not cause spotting!


I am still waiting for AF to come in full swing I wish she would I will just crack up if I have many more days like this

 

[mommyof2peas]

Started bedding 2 days ago, so fingers crossed 😀 I think this will go positive tonight or tomorrow .

looking good all right

 

[CelticNiamh]

my spotting turned in to AF sad and glad all in one go!

really hoping this cycle I ovulate earlier and have a normal cycle rather than late ov and short lp

 

[ajarvis]

Sorry Niamh! But glad you know! Good luck this month

 

[mommyof2peas]

Sorry about the witch. But glad you have a answer either way. This cycle will be better!

 

[ajarvis]

So AF seems to have stopped. That seems really weird. 2 days is super short. Not sure what's going on there. I usually have short ones 3 or days or so. But 2 is super short isn't it? Should I expect it to start up again. This is weird.

 

[laurac1988]

Sorry about AF Niamh x

3dpo over here. Don't really mind what happens this cycle as finally have clomid to start next cycle

 

[mommyof2peas]

Yay, cycle buddies, I'm 3dpo as well


Ajarvis my post mc af was only 3 days. So I think it's normal. After a D&c they really clean everything out

 

[CelticNiamh]

Thanks Laura I am hopeful for this cycle though, although I am feeling like I am getting the flu hope it doesn't effect OV and getting pregnant esp if I get high temps

 

[ajarvis]

Mommyof2peas I didn't have D&C. had a natural miscarriage. Albeit it was long and there was lots of bleeding involved. I've been spotting since Sunday. So maybe that all comes into play as well.

 

[ajarvis]

OK. no more comments from me. It didn't stop. At all. I'm just paying to close attention I think lol. Miscarriage has me noticing every little thing. Once it's done I'll take a HPT just to make sure it's negative, but I'm sure everything is fine

While I don't have anything to report on the TTC front, I wanted to share that I took my cat to another vet because something just didn't feel right about how she had been diagnosed, and it turns out she's not sick at all. So the last vet was trying to extort money out of me. I'm just so thankful that I'm not going to lose my furbaby anytime soon and (hopefully) she'll still be around on the (some)day we make her a big fursister.
