[BelleNuit]

Ooooh Green that toe sure looks sore! I hope it's okay!

The organization I work for is creating an educational video series on topics related to mental health and they want to interview me for it.

I remember when I broke my toe. It felt like I stubbed it, but then hours later it started changing colors ... I was in so much pain at that point, but that was also at like 10p .... So pain pills and the next day we went to the doctors.... Urgh
And btw they said they can't put a cast on a toe, so I had to wear a shoe ...
I missed Band Camp that year, had to learn all my spots during classes, luckily it was a simple set!

AFM:
Ladies .... I really had to pee at like 6a, so I took the test and went back to sleep --- cause well I never get up then, and I just really had to go...
Anyways fast forward to 8a and yeah ... not so disappointed but got a BFN ... But I had a feeling it was too early, so I'm actually NOT disappointed ... I kinda feel at ease about it.
I think I was just antsy last night, getting myself all worked up, cause I calmed down right before eating dinner.
Anyways... Tomorrow I'll test again, and then I'll test on Sunday!!!
Girls send me baby dusts!!!!!

 

[StarGazerRose]

Ya'll I think i'm going crazy! .... If no BFP in the next month I'm seriously confused why i'm having all this crap! Can the TWW be this maddening to psych you out? Urgh

I'm eating Quesadillas (nothing really out of the normal about that ...just that I was just thinking once again that I'm eating something spicy and I don't like spicy things --- but I like salsa every so often.... w/e)
I think the fan next to me is louder than normal...like a higher speed or something (not my fan so I don't touch it)
And my gums just randomly started itching... ( I looked it up and it's a thing! --- Urgh I need to go to the dentist, been meaning to for a while now )
And i was super stuffing my face, but then I was like urgh can't eat no more, but I'm still hungry (i'll probably pick at it)

Hey star, unfortunately progesterone symptoms are the same as pregnancy symptoms. So cruel! Lol. So your symptoms aren't all in your head, but they may just be normal TWW progesterone symptoms that you are getting now because you actually O'd this month!

I am still keeping my fingers crossed that you'll get your BFP in a couple more days!

 

[StarGazerRose]

Well ... that all makes more sense! I haven't had that much progesterone in my system in years! OMG so many new things .... what am I going to do?!

I want a BFP .... I deserve a BFP!!! ---- We ALL Deserve BFPs!!!!

O M G they are drilling upstairs and I'm crying from the noise/annoyance ... and just cause I can cry!

 

[puma1986]

Ladies. Please help. Two months ago I had a chemical pregnancy. I was losing huge black clots of blood. Which makes sense. But last month I was experiencing tons of blood loss on my heavy days. Heavier than normal. With huge black blood clots. I started yesterday and I have been going through a tampon an hour or two and the blood is really thin, bright red, and watery with gigantic dark black clots. Id attach a picture but I don't want to make you guys sick.

Any ideas?!

 

[StarGazerRose]

Puma I never experienced that, I wish I could help you. :sad:
I used to have heavy periods only when I didn't have them for a year or two, being on pills has helped keep them under the heavy mark.

 

[StarGazerRose]

omg you guys ... they have been drilling, and throwing hammers and a whole bunch of crap up stairs ... I'm about to break down and start bawling!!! I can't handle it!!!
I can't handle this for another hour and a half ....

 

[greenarcher]

Yuck I don't envy you, Star

Puma, I have never experienced anything like that, but it doesn't sound too abnormal. Thin blood with clots makes sense. But better to be safe and see your OB if you're worried. Maybe you hadn't fully shed your lining from your chemical?

 

[mnelson815]

Hey Puma, just a quick note... as I often stalk this thread haha.
Since you are bleeding so heavy, your body doesn't have time to release the coagulants that actually help to de-clot your lining and blood. Therefore, on really heavy days it would be very very normal to be passing those clots. I also have quite a few friends that after pregnancy had periods like this, and since it started up right after your chemical, I would say try not to worry. I just know how annoying it can be when you go to stand up and your tampons can't keep up with you... don't envy you. But also, try not to worry too much. I went to the hospital my first cycle off the pill because I had a very similar type of bleeding and was very abnormal for me even pre-pill and they just tested for anemia, said I was fine and sent me on my way. It evened itself out over the next few cycles.

 

[StarGazerRose]

Finally the calamity up stairs has finished ... bleh ... My nerves are shot ... >,<

Urgh ... Reflux, why do you hate me so? I ate a HUGE lunch and I feel like I haven't ate all day... It's like my stomach is in my throat ... Yuck! Drinking water isn't helping, munching on cheese-its isn't helping .... Bleh just blek! And I gotta think of dinner before I call DH back... *eyeroll*

 

[BelleNuit]

Hey puma, I often get those same kind of clots, sorry to hear you have to deal with that! My acupuncturist has told me acupuncture should help, so I'll let you know if it does!

 

[StarGazerRose]

I can't find any information on the degree of reflux that progesterone causes... I'm at my whits end here. Mini in-the-mouth cookie tossing going on too Yuck!
And the heartburn that runs through my back and urgh ...
I'm gonna have to start eating Tums like candy soon.

I am super emotional too... OMG tears, they just come out of no where, and disappear just as quickly!

Testing in the a.m. girlies ... Heres to a squinter worth posting a picture!!!

 

[greenarcher]

So promising!!! Fx!

 

[greenarcher]

Finally got to do OH's SA! Everything looks okay. Borderline normal in all categories, and our last bath was only 7 weeks ago. I'm hoping things will improve as his guys recover. If we don't conceive this month, I might go ahead and buy him a supplement.

 

[puma1986]

Whew! Thanks to all of you, especially Nelson. Its nice knowing that this isn't horribly abnormal.

Belle: Awesome! Please let me know!

Green: Woohoo for DHs SA! I love hot baths with hubby, too! It sucks having to put them on hold!

Star: LoL!!!! You're such an emotional bundle! You are absolutely having some strong symptoms!!! I'm anxious for you to test.

In other news, I HAVE MY RHUEMATOLOGY APPOINTMENT TODAY!!!! I'm sure they will have me do a bunch of labs and won't know anything for a while but I can't wait to find out why my ANA is so high!

 

[StarGazerRose]

Girls .... another BFN
A little more disheartening today than yesterday...But I don't think AF will show sunday.
One more test! Sunday a.m.!!!

And being curious ... but yesterday's test has a washed out line now, but it was clearly negative yesterday (like white background while testing, and not-so-bright white now with a little faded line for the test line .... ) Am I reaching? Am I just trying to make something out of nothing?

 

[BelleNuit]

puma so excited to hear about your rheumatology appointment. I hope it goes well and you get some answers!

Green, wahoo!! Sounds like the SA was a good one! I make my DH take supplements even though his was normal LOL. He's on a multivitamin, zinc and vitamin C (apparently vitamin C reduces clumping so each swimmer has a better chance).

Guys my interview is today and I'm pretty nervous! Its that interview for that educational training video series that my work is producing. So I spent all morning doing my hair and make-up. Thank god for coverup as I have zits! AHH! I worked 5.5 hours of overtime this week so I'll be leaving early today, likely after lunch.

 

[StarGazerRose]

Zits ... lol nice. My face exploded this week with them... urgh I might have to start my facial wash again. I was clear before O ... stupid hormones!

Good Luck with the interview! I really hope it works out for you!

Girls ... they are doing crap upstairs again ... I don't know if I can handle this!!! I left my phone at home and for some reason I just feel I need it today... I might call hubby and tell him I don't have it so he doesn't worry...
My Nerves.... I think some one ripped them out of me, knotted them and put them back! T_T

 

[greenarcher]

Puma - YAY FOR GETTING ANSWERS! Please let us know what your doctor says, then next week, let us know what your test results show! I forget, has your OH has a SA yet? Is it possible he might have anti-sperm antibodies?

Star - You're not out until you're out love! Why don't you think AF is coming Sunday, any reason in particular? Don't trust that late line. It could mean something, but it's more likely just an evap. Better to just retest. What brand tests are you using? I vote you post those suckers to this thread so we can all squint with you!

Belle - BEST OF LUCK! You'll do great! Let us know how it went, and enjoy your early Friday!

Guys. GUYS! My friend's getting positive tests again! Turns out the two she used a couple days ago ($ tree and FRER) were BOTH duds! She's got super positive tests now, and she is SO relieved! NOW I WANT TO GET PREGNANT AGAIN!

I'm 7 DPO and sorely tempted to test. I might when I get home. No symptoms really. Always a little tired, but it's so flipping early, I'm not expecting any. Plus I never get physical PMS symptoms (just moodiness), so no sore boobs or back. No cramping. UGH I NEED THIS CYCLE TO BE OVER LIKE YESTERDAY.
