ttc after a d&c

[jen435]

Jen, there is info on pregnancy loss site on when to expect AF. I would send the link but I am also on my phone
I am using OPKs but they suck so have been going off of my CM instead. Do hope to ovulate soon! Why are you feeling out dear?

Well at least you can go by both! I really like the digital opk by frer. I used anwsers though this time since I wasn't even sure if I'd get a positive. Not sure really... guess I don't want to be disappointed perhaps.

Was it that website you posted? Thank you I did take a look at it. Only thing is I can't relate really... but they say seven weeks so I'm just going to play it out the next week n half and see what happens. I'm now 10dpo. Guess I could test Sunday with frer 6 days early maybe??

I used Answers too, the dip kind, and they are stinky
Yep I think so, think I posted that link.
I never recommend testing early but that is because my personal experience with it was all the false negatives. But ladies on here seem different so go for it! The wait is hard no?

I agree I'd rather wait then have a false negative. Im going to try to wait til Sunday 12dpo.

Its sunny out again!! Going to try to use the pool!!! I'm so disappointed that I washed my hair an hour ago and I'm now going to chlorinate it. Totally worth it though I guess. Hope everyone's having a good day!

hi babe was minding my sis 2 kids today, they r 2 and 11 months, im wrecked. they r totally d cutest in the world though. i got a total of 6 poo nappies today, think they were saving um up for me , hee hee. u get ur house sorted? i actually have some idea what time ur at now cos oh is there

I love those ages though ther are totally exhausting! I don't ming changing diapers lol. Last time I changed a diaper was maybe 5 months ago- it was a coworker's baby and he giggled the whole time. It was cute.
The house erm...I cooked...and played with the cat...and got prettied up. Vacuuming was the only cleaning I did

Yep Jen, how are you?

sounds like my kind of day except the vacumming , my house has no carpet on purpose, its my least fave thing, that and ironing, i also dont have an iron, will i do but i dont know where it is

 

[lilesMom]

jen, good to hear from u, still no af but its only been 4 weeks last thurs so im not worried yet hope urs comes soon for u. they surely will help u soon if it doesnt appear? i keep feeling like im gonna get mine and then the feeling subsides , soon i hope, yeah i hope the timing with oh coming home works out well, i would be one happy lady then ( and worried but mainly happy, hee hee. ) I am finally feeling so much more normal this week and im so gratefull for it. i have my new nieces christening tomor and am looking forward to it with no sneaky dread r jealousy hope ur not too stressed bout ur af cos it could draw it out longer for u and not nice feeling stressed. fingers crossed it happens soon

My husband irons but I refuse. I am adjusting to vacuuming...I'd rather do that than scrub the bathtubs and toilets!

Does this mean dh helps with cleaning??? If so my husband could use a lesson in how to clean. The place could be a mess or dirty and he looks at me like I'm nuts for cleaning and scrubbing. I have to laugh when there is no more bath towels he will use his tee shirts til I do the laundry! Shall I say lazy?

I can completely relate with the symptoms. I went to the dollar store for two tests today. I figure I'll save the expensive ones for now. Also called my doctor today. Usually when i test and call my doctor my af comes right away. So i guess I'll find out. I can't say I'm stressed in fact I've been temping as a dh and relaxing sooo much that i couldnt imagine that. My last job stressed me so much because I wasn't doing what I went to college for. I'm so happy y now. All I need is my lil one and my life will be complete.

I hope af comes for the both us soon! Do you know of anything the doctor could do to jump start af if it doesn't come???

No he just hates how I iron...well and I have never offered to do it lol! I am a homemaker so cleaning literally is my job

yeah ive read other people saying they give u progesterone for a few days and then stop, the drop in progesterone mimicks ur bodys natural drop that brings on a period so it should come then. hope u dont have to but at least we know there is help

my oh used to help but when we moved to our house, we have a huge garden, more like a field really so now he does outside,, i do inside. i wont do his washing up though, dont know why thats one step too far for me hee hee

i wanna be a home maker and baby maker sick of working full time as well as doin the house, but at mo have to for finances. im not saying its easy to be a home maker, i know its not, but there is a lot to be said for the traditional way too i think.

I do enjoy it but I miss having a job and money of my own too. If I had a job I would make him help clean

I couldn't agree more with you! I'd love to be a homemaker that would be wonderful! I know cleaning, laundry, dishes, mowing, shoveling, garden work gets old but doing it all on top of a ft job is truly exhausting. I couldnt imagine throwing a baby into the mix but im very excited to when it happens. I'm now working as a temp and just having the opportunity to have some days off during the day is a blessing so i can actually enjoy my weekend in a clean house!

I must say today has been the best day for me since we lost our baby and I'm so thankful to be smiling and actually not acting happy for a change. I hope you ladies are starting to feel better emotionally also.

 

[jen435]

Bethany I completely understand having your own money but your married and since you are a homemaker and will soon be a mom always remember his money is also your money.

I hope you get your positive opk

Glad to hear you were feeling happy Jen! I have my happy days too
You do all that on top of the job? Make him do more! I don't mow, I make my spouse do it but I do everything else. Cooking is my favorite though. I love it! About to make monkey bread
I actually miss all of my coworkers. Weird right? I had been at the same job for nearly 6 years before I married. Worked 6 days a week. Loved everyone.

I hope you get your positive opk

It is mine too but I can't be as free with it as I'd like, sadly
I forgot to use an OPK today. I was so out of it! I didn't temp either :O

 

[lilesMom]

jen so glad ur feeling better , i had a lovely 3 days up to last nt, had a mini relapse last nt for no real reason, i got all sad again, feel better this eve again. it is so nice to finally feel like life can be normal il have to go back to work after i hopefully have baby too but am hoping to maybe go part time r something if i can
it will be a way off anyway
i know what u mean though storked, i have some lovely friends at work and would def miss them lots if i left , it can prob be a lonely as well being a home maker, have no one to join u for lunch breaks but i live near lots of my family so i prob go visiting lots
i have given up opks they r so annoying when im not at home now during the day i should start temping but it takes a few months to see a pattern doesnt it? il hopefully be preggers by then whenever i do get af il prob start opks again next cycle

 

[jen435]

Af came today! I'm finally happy to have a start point and the best part of it arriving today is my last week of my tww should be my vacation week! Well I hope anyway.

I must say that I work with lots of great ppl when i work also. Its what makes work fun! Bethany lol you made me laugh he doesn't do house work if i waited for him to and asked him to the place would be a huge mess and take me a full 2-3 days to clean. I never clean the downstairs and because of that it remains a mess unless I clean it. Its okay though. Most the time I don't mind its just exhausting. I love cooking also! Wish i had more time to cook though.

Lilysmom your so lucky to have family very close by! I hope your having a better day today and I'm glad you recovered from your relapse. Its so easy to have them though.

Has anyone tried first response fsh test on day 3 on your cycle to test ovarian levels??? I'm not to sure how they work but I have two so I thought I'd use one to check if my levels are normal.
