TTC after D&C (Soon)

[Tella]

Tara, i can only imagine the frustrations of not knowing whats going on, FXd you start getting answers soon. Im terrible at tests, i swear i imagine lines sometimes

MJ, Im glad it went a bit lighter but continue BDing jsut in case, hope O comes along later this week and that you catch that eggy!!!! Hows bootcamp going?

Cast, YAY for making and appointment with a specialist, during ttc you really need peace of mind otherwise one drives one crazy!!! Al the what if and should have beens. I hope you get answers and that you can maybe get Provera after a scan is cleared to bring on AF so that you can start fresh.

AFM > Spotting seems to have stopped.Fxd it is done now. Me and DH has a pack going only AM sex is allowed in the same place for the month of Dec, PM sex are only allowed once in each place. So tonight im knocking the spare room off the list

Tmi warning!

So today I noticed a burning feeling in my vagina and then a sudden urge for the "big O". Afterwards started spotting again :-/ I phoned the doctor and he said the burning could be due to tenderness, but if I feel itchy I need to phone again since I then need treatment. I guess it's going to take a while before my cycle returns.

What are your experiences after d&c?

Sorry about the burning sensation. After my D&C i was just tender inside, felt like period pains but after a day or two it went away and i felt fine physically. The burning sensation that i get sometimes is after sex as well but they say it could be that hubbies sperms are to acidic and he needs to follow a more alkaline diet. But that has been a issue long before my MC

 

[Angelbaby_01]

I started charting again and added day of d&c as beginning of new cycle (read on ff to do this). When is best to start temping? After I got my negative hpt?

Any advice?

Castaway - I made my appt too for dec 30th. I'm with you on that, I'm being proactive for next year if this cycle doesn't work out.

Tella- I'm killing those bootcamps!!! 5-6 days a week. I have the start of a 6 pack going on. ..... I'm super excited about it. .. even though when I get pg it will be gone Lol, but I'm ok with that.

Tara- if af doesn't come in another week or 2 maybe you should request an u/s.

Angel- I didn't have alot of symptoms after my d&c. I was tender until the bleeding stopped and after that I was fine. My hcg took forever to drop and af came in 6 weeks.

 

[CastawayBride]

Called and they asked me to get all my info together from the doctors...going to make it for next week...that will be going into my 8th week with out AF. I am hoping if scan clears me they will induce AF and whatever thy feel is necessary...at least I feel like I am doing something

I would say start now. You can O before you get a negative hpt. I also used day of D&C as CD1.

WOW that is awesome, wish i was starting to see rewards like that. My belly just doesnt want to go

But a good shape now means you will loose the baby fat quickly so it still has its benefits. Im just gonna work on fitness now and not toning especially during medicated cycles. Dont want to overdo it.


Cast, that is great news!! Fxd that they will get the ball rolling again.

 

[Angelbaby_01]

Tella, if I do O before I get a neg hpt does it mean I can get pregnant then or not? It's really confusing not knowing what your body is doing. If I use an opk to track ovulation can it give me a false positive?

Can I start temping or will it be all wacked?

Thank you.

Can it be that I am too acidic myself as well? I notice it gets better when I drink loads of water. What do you think?

I do notice I need to lube up a lot as well when dtd.

 

[mj2013]

Angel - if you do O before you get a complete negative hpt then yes you definitely can get pg.

Tella - I really want to take it easy but I find it so hard, I just love my workouts, it's the only time my mind doesn't think about TTC and everything else going on. I will slow it down the week after O though, but for right now I'm sticking to my regular schedule.

Castaway - So happy for you!! Keep us posted on the results.

 

[Tella]

Like MJ said you can definitely fall again before a neg hpt. Hcg acts like lh so just matures the egg. And hcg is believed to make the uterus more favourable for a pregnancy. They even use hcg injections as ovulation induction in medicated cycles.

It definitely can mean you to acidic as well, ive had it and started taking a alkaline powder and since then I od earlier and also no more burning. I actually forgot about that, the base powder seema to be doing a heap of good.

mj, I know right. Its like an escape route just to bad it doesn't gel with ttc so well.

 

[Angelbaby_01]

Don't know if you know citro soda, but will it help?

 

[Tella]

Yes it definitely can bring it down but it doesnt have any trace elements in it to keep it alkaline. Citra Soda is a short term solution where a base powder is more long term. Also half a lemon in a glass of water in the morning is also a great natural remedy for high acidic levels. It seems strange but it actually turns alkaline in your body.

 

[Angelbaby_01]

I just thought off using lemon in water. I also googled alkaline foods for ovulation. I never knew about these things and will definitely try them out. It makes the wait more fun now and take my mind off of actually want to ttc. It's almost becoming like a study and a game to me rather than stressing about everything.

al, I would use preseed for lubrication its the best and sperm friendly and after my d&c I was just tired and felt a little pain when I sat down and stood up and sex wise I was just tender but now everythings pretty back to normal!!
castaway, so glad to hear your getting things done and getting that ttc ball rolling!! keep us updated
mj, bootcamp lol id die!!

afm, I got more faints this am so I guess this is the real deal I got a positive on one that was negative lastnight and theres no way hcg can fluctuation that much from leftovers but it is odd I got positive opks before positive hcgs but I didn't use a frer so idk about those however I will be going to get some here shortly!! eeekk I don't know when this happened I guess I oed when hcg was still in my system or right after it left and that the cramping really bad was implantation its so crazy how our bodys work after a mmc, mc, and d&c while I am still waiting for the ill settle for a faint and its on 3 test 2 of which are completely different brands so heres to hoping this one sticks with me... that was a quick tww lol

 

[CastawayBride]

Took a FRER, its positive. This is torture! :growl mad:

I hope the specialist gets in touch with me tomorrow...

 

[funneepants]

Hey everyone!
I totally feel your cycle confusion pain! I am 18 days post d and c, have had no bleeding for 11/12 days and tonight have started to bleed again. I don't know if this is AF or if it was triggered from exercise yesterday or what?! My hcg was down to 9 prior to the d and c (as I had naturally miscarried 6 weeks prior but had retained product). I've been having negative hpts for awhile now. This is soooo frustrating!

 

[Tara158505]

Castaway,
hmmm either it takes your body a very looonngg time to get the hcg out or.... it could be a new baby!!!!

Funnee,
I have been getting positive and negative hcg tests since my d and c so I completely understand its so aggravating not knowing what is going on, however I haven't had any bleeding other than my d and c I am still waiting so I have bd every day since the 8th of last month since I didn't know if I could trus;t opks or hcg test I had blood work they said my hcg was at 3 but yet I kept getting positive hcgs till about a week or so ago then they went negative ...Again.. well I had pos opk though I was oing then negative then pos again I use cb advanced digi well for some odd reason I decided to take a hcg and it was faint pos after being negative for a while now but im scared to get excited im worried maybe its retained tissue cause my hcg to go up and down hence the reason ;for pos and neg hcg test but this time I got faints on two different tests so idk im going to see if it gets darker or goes back neg this is so frustrating im going crazy I may call my doctor tomorrow... ughhhh

 

[Angelbaby_01]

Yesterday I started spotting again and felt crampy, then this morning I woke up feeling exhausted. Is this normal? It's been 6 days since d&c.

 

[funneepants]

Angel - I was exhausted for the 7-10 days post d and c. I was also crampy/tender for that time.

Tara- remind me how far after d and c you are? That sucks that your tests are coming back all over the place.
