ttc after a d&c

[Storked]

Laura, I haven't had any more spotting since that one time. Weird huh?
Yes be tricksy with yourself maybe it will happen! Fingers crossed honey

May not be on as much as I'd like today. Internet is down in my area, annoyingly. I can still access the net from my phone but it is so slow!

Hey guys, been at mums for a few days since DH is working in Birmingham this week.. And it wouldnt let me log into this site on my phone!!

Hope you are all doing okay? I will go through the pages since i was on sunday and see what ive missed..anything?!

Im hoping someone can help shed some light, i got my AF yesterday, well i think it is, basically last night about half ten i started bleeding really heavily and passed a few inch sized clots, i had the bright red bleeding all last night and some this morning when i went to toilet. Now there is only brown when i am wiping, with a bit of bright red, im wondering if this is even my AF or if it is just left over from DnC?

but ive read that it counts as your AF if it has been at least 20 days since the bleeding from DnC ended which it has, could this be my AF? So can i now start charting with fertility friend calendar now i have a first AF day?!

hope you are all okay! Kind of had withdrawal since sunday from not chatting on here haha xxxxx

bethany i tried to go on here on my phone in galway and it was way too slow and annoying silly internet, hope its fixed soon xxx

if its been 3 weeks since u last bled its af everyones is weird for the first af hon, mine was 2 days brown spotting with pain, then 1 day red bleeding (no clots ) with no pain. all different , a lot of the girls said theirs was clotty and heavy too. so long as u feel ok im sure it was normal after d and c af xxx

Oh thank god danni, i got a doctors appointment in an hour just to make sure, talk about difficult patient, if im like this now i cant imagine how bad ill be when im pregnant again ill end up setting a tent up in the surgery just in case i sneeze lol

im hoping this is AF, to be honest i feel like its as good a sign as a BFP, must have just had real bad pmt this week...

Can i start charting on fertility friend etc now for ovulation etc or do i need to wait for period to finish to see how long it lasts for first xxxx

 

[TTCSecrets]

n it started yesterday 3w3d after dnc xxx

 

[lilesMom]

id say u can chick , i dont use fertility friend but cycle starts from day 1 of af so i dont see why not. u might not be right back on track, some peoples second af can be late, lots o people start opks this cycle to check. but i had to wait anyway so i didnt and mine did get back on track after first af. hope urs does too

 

[TTCSecrets]

yayy thankyouuu, i wanted to get an app on my phone so its more discreet for me but my bloody phone internet keeps saying i need to verify my age :s Apparently its a running problem with 3 at the moment so im gonna have to wait, gonna have a bash at doing a cycle chart now and see what it says, and resume to my POAS everytime i wee routine lol, im thinkin i should ovulate two weeks from yesterday but might start OPKing at the end of this week and keep doing it until next af in case O is late or early....

Whats your progress? xxx

 

[lilesMom]

yeah u prob should start early i get Ov signs and i think i did at day ten after the d and e so it could be a slightly different time to normal. its my first month trying cos i had problems with my liver. i stated trying at day 12 s i think i should be around the right times this month so now i cross my fingers ha ha
i saw that about ut phone on fb

 

[TTCSecrets]

oooo fingers crossed for you! So your hoping for your BFP this month, really hope you do would be wicked..

Im hoping for my BFP in about 4 week i should think, ooo i really have never been so pleased to see af, even though i feel like somebody is standing on my stomach and back at least its getting back to normality. I guess

Haha yeah my FB post! Well i thought id got a virus on my phone or something but its not its just 3 being a rubbish network lol! So im on here for a bit, got doctors at half 2, and then gonna go to my mums for the night and have a nice long hot bath ( TMI but im hoping it helps the AF to keep flowing ) not into the bath obviously that would be gross, but you know what i mean. xxxx

 

[lilesMom]

hee hee yeah relax and have a nice bath, its best thing for af pain, the heat is great my sis is a nurse and she told us ages ago that af wont come out in water cos of risk of infection. i think it might be true cos ive gone swimming in the sea with af and it seems to stop for a while till i come out weird gross info for u

 

[lilesMom]

just looked at my own ticker and got nervous, 11 days till testing ha ha

 

[lilesMom]

i gotta go for a while , im gettin a bit ashamed of myself , its 2 o c and im still in bed. i only got up to have breakfast and came back ive been awake ages but am summoning energy to go visit my mom and dad

 

[lilesMom]

[TTCSecrets]

Hiya girlys!!! Wow.. I should know better than to miss one night... just caught up on the last 7-9 pages I missed hehe . Hope everyone is doing well!

As for AF, mine was TOTALLY strange after d&c. I bled for 2 week afters on and off. Then, about a month after I had some red but mostly brown stuff come out (Sorry TMI) and thought it was af but dr told not to count it. I guess my body was just getting rid of whatever was left from the d&c. Then another 1.5 week went by and I got af.. full force af! It was heavy, lots of clots and lasted for 7 days! Mine never use to be that long or heavy. I also didnt use a tampon since I wanted EVERYTHING to come out clean and didnt want to chance leaving something in there.. idk.. just thought it was better to not use one. I HATE using pads but feel better that I did. If I dont fall pg this cycle, then the next cycle I will feel better about going back to tampons. Anywho, the point of my rambling (sorry lol) is to say that the girls are right. Af is weird post op and sometimes takes longer than others to normalize. They say you should only be concerned if you are bleeding through a pad every hour.

Bethany, I think the spotting is a GREAT sign and I got so excited when I saw that ! I didnt even think AF... fx !!! Mon/tues cant come fast enough huh ?

Laura, I agree with tricking ourselves . I kind of want to do that too. Im optimistc about this cycle but that could be because I feel pg on the first shot last time.. hoepfully it will be the same this time.

Jen, omg did I have a hard time getting up for work this morning ! Im usually ok once I shower and am on the move but this morning was esp hard. I hope you have a great day at work!

Horsey, Danni, Jessica, Natasha, and anyone else I missed.. hiya dollys! :wave:

Hope everyone has a wonderful day/night!!

to all!!!

Hi Angel! Oh hun, its torture waiting but I totally felt like I was all over the place post opp . Our hormones are trying to regulate and get back to normal so until then, I know that it makes us feel all sorts of things. I was going to use a opk but missed the start date according to the instructions (I was suppose to start testing on cd5) but kind of glad.. I too would be going crazy. I know its hard but have patience hun, af is coming for ya!! We are here though whenever you just need to vent. Its a hard thing to go through this and not be able to talk to people that understand but thats what we are here for... hang in there babe!

[mommylov]

For sure.. but then when she does come, you'll think back and say "Oh I guess that wasnt too long"

Are you working or anything today? That sometimes helps with keeping my mind off of things too
