ttc after a d&c

[aaronswoman79]

Since the miscarriage I have been having trouble with overeating. When I was pregnant I ate so well, and never overate. Now that I lost the baby, I have this need to eat, and it take a lot to get full, and it is really worrying me. I still get these fetal phantom kicks. Where I swear I feel baby kicking, but its probably just my stomach growling. . I was over 4 months pregnant when I lost him, and if I keep eating the way I am, I will staying looking 4 months! Its like I have this void to fill. I remember that pregnant bloated feeling, and sometimes I stop eating right when I start feeling pregnant again. I know this must sound very weird, I have a hard time understanding it myself.

Aaronswoman, Im so sorry you are having such a rough time, I cant imagine all this things that come with your experience . Although we all suffered loses, I know you are having hard time given you were so far along. I just want to give you a BIG BIG BIG hug. I would think that all your feelings that you are having right now are normal and the over eating, Im sure we have all fell victim to that at some point. There is a void you are trying to fill and you just want to feel comforted. I hope that you really know that our hearts go out to you. Maybe what you are feeling isnt ness from the loss but a good sign that you will have those great feelings again that you once had. Just trying to put a possitive spin on it. Like Laura, Im into angel cards and I have had my share of up and down moments (Just ask these girls! lol) and would pull cards almost everday thinking why cant I get over this. For me, something hit me one day and the next morning I saw everything in a more pos way. Its so hard now but you will get there hun, and we are here to hold your hand through this journey.

Hi Posey, how are you hun???

Bethany, how cute.. he got you squirt! I love that stuff I like cactus cooler too dont know if youve had it but it just brings back childhood memories. My brother loved it and I would always ask him for some of his so then when I met dh, he had never had it. I had him try it and he LOVED it! Mmmm now I want some .. dang it!

Laura, how are you sweets!?? Boo regardign work, mine gets in the way sometimes too. I want to say "Um hello, do you not see Im talking to my girls??" lol

Jen, so glad to hear that you got some cuddle time!!!! Hows everything doll?

So this morning, I woke up and went to the restroom and saw that I had an ever so light hint of pink when I wiped I dont know if this means AF is coming or what but I thought I wasnt due for af until next month. I got excited for a second and though what if it was from implant but I think its too soon, no ? The last time we got pg, it happened on the 1st shot and dh called me fertile mertle lol. BD was on monday and its only thursday.. oye, I hate not knowing whats going on ! lol

As Bethany says... daily dose of to you all! (I like that! )

 

[mommylov]

So now.. bleeding a LITTLE more but no symptoms of AF like I normally have so Im so confused as to what this is ... if its AF Ill be bummed but thats fine, I dont mind waiting another 2 weeks but I just wish I knew.

 

[mommylov]

Ok starting to get more "AF" associated feelings. Not to go all TMI on you but now I am starting to get a little uncomfy and diarrhea-ish which is normal for me when af comes. Oh well.. maybe next month!

 

[Storked]

It is so hard to say Amy because everything is just so wacky after a loss, ya know? My first AF was confusing like that- I had spotting before my actual AF. It drove me so crazy saying CD1 and then days later...the real CD1! and

Aaronswoman, I am so sorry love. I was similar but opposite...I felt so dead inside. Like I was ashes. And I just stopped eating anything for a time. I equate food with life and I felt all dead inside and betrayed my body but now I am back to normal. Time is key. Over time things become slightly easier. The hurt never completely goes away and there will still be dark days but it does get better over time. Love you lady!

Daily dose of from me too

AFM: I wonde if I am in my fertile period. I am so exhausted and want to sleep all the time and it was the same on my honeymoon when I got pregnant.

 

[Storked]

I get the same feelings Amy!

 

[mommylov]

Could be Bethany!!! FX for you doll!!!

I think since this is the first af since d&c which was 6 weeks ago, I guess that explains why its so wierd. I am telling myself its af but I really have no idea. Not bleeding too much but def a little spotting going on. I wonder IF it is af, if its going to amount to anything real or just be light like this for a couple days. I have been super hungry and that is usually an indicator of af too so idk....sigh.

 

[Storked]

Yeah it may be weird for a couple of cycles. My normal AF is heavy and lasts about 5-6 days
But my first after D&C was freaky light and maybe only 4 days or less? Hopefully yours will become normal faster than mine

 

[mommylov]

I have a stupid question ... so I bought a home opk before we got pg the last time. I didnt use it since we got pg on the first try. Now that my cycles are all wierd (I was SUPER regular an don time every month before I got pg) I now want to use it... problem is I dont get it . Its a 1st response one (Which was not cheap, I wish I new to get somethign else before ) and since I think today is the first day of my cycle and my average cycle days are 30 days I read that I count 13 days out and then test. But 13 days out from today makes me think that I will miss my chance to get pg . Do I really wait that long to start testing ? I feel like a dummy right now and am having a major brain fart.

 

[Storked]

I had cheap ones ad started them at CD 6 just to get them all used up hehe. But mine sucked! Maybe CD 12 start them? What do you think?

Sorry we were discussing politics yesterday and this amused me. Bill Nye oh my!

 

[Storked]

Amy that link isn't working for me on my phone

 

[mommylov]

darnit! I google "How to use a first response ovulation kit" and that was the link it took me to. Tells you how to calculate what day to test etc

Your link isnt working on my comp

 

[Storked]

I had to reload my own link a few times before it worked but the story should amuse. Poor Bill Nye is upset!

What did the calculator tell you Amy?

 

[mommylov]

Says that based on the average number of days my cycle is (30), I am suppose to take the 1st day of my period and add 13 and start testing on that day. The number of days you count out is based on your avereage days. What is yours? I can tell you what it says.

 

[Storked]

My cycle can't be averaged anymore. Each of my 3 cycles since my D&C have been different. Will you actually start on CD 13?

 

[mommylov]

here are five days worth that I got...

27 = 1st day of period + 10 days then test
28 = 11
29 = 12
30 = 13
31 = 14

 

[mommylov]

Mine are always off by 1-4 days so they say that if its off a small amount like that, then to go with the avereage. I think I am going to test one day earlier just incase on CD12 My cycles page that I gave you guys the link to tells me what my average is so easy peasy hehe

 

[Storked]

Sound good!
