TTC after D&C (Soon)

[GingerPanda]

Boo.

 

[Tara158505]

aww mj im sorry that sucks so bad, at least you know your oing and can catch that egg!! im sure youll get it this go round especially since your body will already be primed for pregnancy!!

 

[Tara158505]

afm- I am FINALLY getting some egg white cm some I am assuming o is around the corner at least I hope so I am "suppose" to o around the 3rd anyway that would be my correct o day and leave me a 12 luteal phase.. I read your luteal phase doesn't change that its always the same if its 12 days its always 12 so if no af and not pregnant its due to not oing on correct date soo well see!! I hope so.. oh and I took a dollar tree brand opk lastnight it was negative ill test with my cb digi opk when the smiley goes off!!

 

[CastawayBride]

Well back to spotting dark brown and cramping. I think my body is trying to have an AF...fingers crossed it happens. I can't take much more of this feeling like doo doo lol

 

[Tara158505]

so I was looking on ff at charts in comparison to mine and I keep seeing this thing that says evening temps 99.0 and up im not sure what that means because I thought you have to sleep atleast 3 to 4 hours before you can take your temp ? so can I take it 2 times? I don't know if anyone knows anything about that but if you do let me know thanks

Just so you know (in case you didn't) you can get EWCM after a miscarriage and not be fertile. It is your body trying to reset your hormone chain and yeah, it seems cruel I know!

 

[Tara158505]

I know, but my case is a little different, for one ive already had af, for two I hardly ever get ewcm the last time I remember getting it was back in july when I got my second peak opk that's how I knew it was most likely the real deal that time all the signs matched up, the first time I got peaks but no ewcm so at that point I was worried I needed help creating more cm and was ready to start a mucinex regimen to try to help produce more but I finally had quite a bit still not loads and loads but enough to let me know it was the real deal.. even now I haven't had it since the mc or even before it just creamy or wet never ewcm so im sure its just getting ready to o plus its a few days away so im sure my bodys trying to gear up and be ready, that doesn't mean it will actually o but its damn sure trying to!! ill know soon enough either way just waiting on a temp confirmation!!

Until your hormones level out you will get crazy EWCM, it is a side effect of the ups and downs. Even though you had one AF, your still not out of the clear hun, you need to let your hormones regulate and then you will ovulate again you need to have faith in that. You can not ovulate every other 2 or 3 days like you have been seeing, it is just not possible. Your body is trying and that is good...I would see a doctor for more clarification that has helped me a lot to understand what is going on...

Tara- I've never heard of taking evening temps, has to be 1st thing in the am with at least 2 to 4 hours of sleep. I would stick to that.

Castaway - I hope this is it for you. Keep us posted.

Tomorrow I need to call the specialists office to see if I can get back my appt or I'll have to get the next available. Next month I'm not sure we can ttc, dh is working double shifts for a full month, so if I O during the week I'm pretty much SOL lol. So we'll see.

 

[Tara158505]

Castaway,
I know all that about the hormones ive looked up so much information I feel like a walking ttc after mc dictionary, but as far as the peak opks I got them in july multiple times and got pregnant its just how my body works and probably a lot of other women as well they just aren't aware of it because normal woman don't test as early and as much as I do. I just don't want to miss it. as far as oing every time lol I know you can only o once I know I haven't yet but either way ive not had ewcm with any of my mc's only during or right before the actual o day. I know that doesn't mean I will o but neither does a positive opk, however the signs matching up are very good indicators. im not going to think negative about it when theres not point in punishing myself like that, I either will or I won't and since ive never had any issues before and this is first af after im very hopeful however if not ill be fine with it, but in my situation and with my history I would say ewcm is a good sign o is coming.. time will tell when I get a temp rise or if I do.. but til then im counting it as a good sign

So we went food shopping Friday night and bought my husbands Vitamins, they are the mens ones that are gummies....well I get up this morning and was cleaning and was about combine his old bottle (like 10 left) with the new bottle (mind you we buy them at a wholesale club so there is like 100 i the bottle!) and I realize the new bottle was already opened. I asked my hubby if he used the new ones (duh finish the ones you have lol) and he goes no, why? So I surmise someone at the store wanted to try them, opened them, and took one out! Keep it classy people. :roll eyes:

Needless to say, we are returning them. Kinda crazy.

P.S. They are the only ones I can get him to take every day....I swear men are big kids!

 

[GingerPanda]

I'm mean. Mine just gets the regular pills. So creepy when you find those bottles already opened! Who knows what someone could've done to them.


On the OPK discussion, I have always gotten positives multiple times in the same cycle. They're always positive on CD10, then go negative, them get positive again around CD15. It's always been like that, even before I got pregnant. But I never O. I've only O'd once to my knowledge, and that was the time I got pregnant.

That is what I said to hubby, we just can't chance that they were tampered with BUT I bet you it was someone thinking I wonder how these taste??? LOL

I tried to get him to take the regular kind, you swallow, and he missed them all the time. These gummies he takes every day! lol The things we do for strong swimmers!

 

[CastawayBride]

Does anyone here have experience with Vitex?

 

[mj2013]

Ginger - do you have pcos? I've heard that about pcos ladies. That they have several surges. I usually just O late and will have a positive opk for 3 days minimum. I usually only get pg if I O earlier.

Castaway - I give dh the gummy vitamins too lol, men are big babies sometimes lol.

So today I had a low moment. I went to a fast food place and bought the biggest combo and sat in the parking lot and ate the entire thing. .... Every crumb. I was just feeling bummy about the cp. Then I got home and ate marshmallows till I felt sick. DH was like wtf? ??? So not like me, I can't tell when last I have eaten fast food. I'll just work out off in the week but I just felt blah

 

[Tara158505]

what vitamins are your husbands taking? my husband takes his vitamins religiously but its not really for sperm mobility or anything well not that I know of.. I have also though about pcos but I took a questionnaire and all the symptoms it suggested I only had like 5 and I don't think those had anything to do with pcos I don't hurt and haven't even been told anything about that, I have one time been told I may have fibroids but that's all that was every said who knows.. but I do know I get multiple surges like you said mj, but I don't necessarily think its due to any problem I think like I mentioned before many women can or do have them and just aren't aware of it because they don't test early or they don't test after the first peak or positive, or they don't test at all, if they do test normally they go by the length of their cycle and whatever the box tells them lol im weird and take them every day after af and if I get high fertility ill retest later.. but I honestly don't think ive oed yet and only can hope I will....

mj,
don't stress the fast food some times we just have to binge when upset and its our way of trying to cope with comfort foods lol it will get better for you I promise!!

 

[Tara158505]

so I was reading online about pcos and about how people with low progesterone (like me I think) and/or estrogen dominate that they get symptoms of pcos even though they don't have pcos so I am thinking that may be my case and I read where woman used natural progesterone cream from naturopath and these women are swearing by it.. I thought you had to get a prescription though does anyone know anything about that? I was on progesterone injections once a week with my youngest because my water broke early with my oldest but when I changed drs he told me that wouldn't help premature water rupture only premature labor so I stopped and im kinda glad cause those injections caused me to get huge.. but I was thinking progesterone was the same things as prednisone and like hydrocortisone cream but now I don't think that's right lol I know I have a short luteal phase and I told that to my obgyn she said shed put me on progesterone if I get pregnant again but im thinking I may need it just to even o to get pregnant and I reallythink its due to those injections because before that I was fine.. ugh the stresss lol

 

[CastawayBride]

I purchased the Vitex, comes on Tues. Will let you ladies know how I do, wish I started it sooner honestly!!

 

[mj2013]

Tara- progesterone will mess up you Oing because the body produces it after ovulation. So those that use it like me, I have the suppositories, you use it after you confirm ovulation. It's supposed to help build your lining and prepare it for proper egg implantation as far as I know. Some ppl with low progesterone will also have low temps after Oing. It's higher than there pre O temps but still kinda low, I've seen that in my charts but progesterone helps sustain the pg. Some take it after bfp, I use it after O and then when I get bfn around 12/13dpo I stop so AF can start because it can delay AF if you don't stop.

Castaway- let me know how the vitex goes

Tara- hubby takes coq10 and regular vitamins

 

[Tella]

Morning girls, hope you all had a great Christmas and got spoilt lots. Sorry about all the false hope, seems like that is always apart of ttc.

Ive used vitex, it's good to regulate your hormones and progesterone after the pill. It screwed my lp around but that's becausei didn't have a lp problem at all.

B6 helps to raise progesterone naturally so worth looking into tara.

Mj lots of hugs girl, ive also kinda been eating and drinking emotionally. Lots of coffee and sweets

I tested on 12dpo and got a bfn, later after the test dried I thought I saw a line but it was obviously a evap as I tested this morning again and got another bfn. I am however gonna stay on progesterone till Friday so that my AF only starts on the weekend otherwise I'm gonna have to skip a while cycle with the fs as his office only opens on the 6th.

So onwards to cycle 2 with Femara, intralipids and TI.
