This'll be the month to remember, with BFPs in September!

[NDTaber9211]

I have no trouble with soft cups. They just slide right on into place. I was paranoid at first and checked to make sure it went over my cervix but now I don't worry

 

[frsttimemama]

Totally trying them! When should I start?

 

[morganwhite7]

With a positive OPK!

And yeah girls DON'T overthink them.. best thing is to relax. They are like pop-out tents!

 

[asmcsm]

Never said I was stressing about them, just that it was awkward putting it in. I'm not worried at all. Just want to get the job done

Lol you girls are cracking me up today.

Anyone else think it's crazy how low and how fast my temp is dropping this cycle? I'm at 97.31 today. My lowest temp before o last cycle was 97.59. Based on the cycles that I've charted my pre o temps have always been kinda up and down day by day, never dropped drastically like that or that low. Wondering what it could be. Maybe my estrogen levels are just a lot higher this month?

 

[Cowgirl07]

Ashlee-I have no idea about the temps. I am sure I will have lots of questions about them next month

 

[mommyxofxone]

i used one every night we bd'd in my fertile week. just to make sure! i got dd using softcups. and if i get my bfp this month, it'll be because of them again. i swear by them. gets the job done.

 

[morganwhite7]

Okay I need advice girls.

I just stood up at work, and blood soaked my skirt. This is NOT abnormal to what has been happening the past few weeks. Just another day of scary blood. But I can't take this anymore. I don't care about an ultrasound I'm sure they'll look at me like an idiot again and tell me baby is fine and that I have a bleed.

But WHY and MAKE IT STOP! Lol I know I am saying the same things over and over but wtf I have NO IDEA what to do. Push for another wasted evening in the ER? Tough it out and go home to bleed the night away? Like wtf. Lol URGHGHGHGHGHGH.. So mad.

What do I do lol, help!

 

[Cowgirl07]

I am not big on going to the er. But Morgan-it isn't normal to gush like that and I would hate for it to be something more life threatening I would go.

 

[mommyxofxone]

i'm not big on the er either- every visit you go, makes my belly clench wondering how you are going to pay for all that, my lord, er visits are so pricey when you get the bills! scares me to death !!

but at the same time, being in your situation, i'm sure i'd have gone too, or gone to my gyn and asked them what to do. they can send you for a test that usually is a lot cheaper than paying for all that in the ER. i wouldn't care if i had to miss work either, cheaper!!!

 

[asmcsm]

I guess I'm kinda on the other side of this. I know the bleeding is scary, believe me I freaked out when I started bleeding big time, but no matter how many trips you take to the ER they aren't going to be able to stop it if its miscarriage or subchorionic hematoma . You at least know that it's not an ectopic because you've seen the bean in there and you aren't having any cramping. I'm thinking if it had been something life threatening they would have noticed it in one of your earlier ultrasounds. But that's just my opinion. I just wouldn't want to waste time and money at the ER for them to tell me there's nothing they can do or that they don't know what's wrong like they did every other time

 

[morganwhite7]

My ER visits are FREE!

But I will NOT be going today. I'd rather just let this happen in the comfort of my house if they truly can't do a thing for me. Thanks for the help girls. I am just scared. It was heavy, but nothing heavier than the LAST 3 times it was heavy. If you get what I mean. I just don't think they'll have an answer. I just want it to stop. So pad in place, ready to get home and get horizontal. Prayin my heart out.

I just want a uterus band-aid lol... wahhhhh

 

[frsttimemama]

Morgan that is so scary. Go with your gut. If you feel you need to go, I would go. If not, then don't. So sorry you're struggling!!

AFM.. well the doctor said I'm ovulating and have nothing to worry about. She said temping isn't accurate because external temperatures affect it. She said try OPKs (I didn't mention that I had), try to relax and enjoy sex and not let it take over my life, that it will happen. Everything appears to be normal, healthy, and okay. Keep taking my prenatals. I didn't ask for labs because at this point she feels like everything is working okay.

Well, from what you said from your dr visit, it sounded like you had a subchorionic hematoma, which can pose risks and possible miscarriage(1-3% usually related to large clots) but they can also go away. Usually by the 20th week of pregnancy they'll bleed out or reabsorb into the uterus. If it's only a small one, usually they aren't as bad, it's bigger ones that are more worrisome. If you're not cramping though, I would try not worry too much for now. But all you can really do is rest, avoid sex and heavy lifting.

WOOHOOOO SANDY!!!!!!!!!!

I hate the advice to relax and LOL @ her trying to inform you about OPK's- like we don't know ENOUGH about THOSE around here!!! Haha we are super fertility specialists compared to the docs! But anyways I wish you luck this cycle SO HAPPY to hear things are running smoothly. You are more on track and regular than I was at that point post-partum. So FX'd you get your take-home baby soon.
