TTC after D&C (Soon)

[mj2013]

Castaway - are you around? Have you been relaxing? has the spotting stopped? just checking on you. Keep us posted.

Hi there!! I am here yes, it stopped, since it correlated with my usual AF I think that is all it was but has stopped. Now today my right ovary feels like it is tugging a bit. Sigh, the first tri, gotta love all the worrying! ha

I think it is the cyst they say you form in pregnancy, that goes away once the placenta/umbilical cord is going to take over. I believe since I ovulate early I am almost a week ahead in terms of development...I do feel fine though other than mild cramping! I go to the doctor on Tuesday, looking forward to meet and see if we like him. I also signed us up for a Baby Fair at the new hospital we are looking to deliver at!

How are you doing??

I'm so happy to hear it has stopped, we have enough to worry about as it is already, so that is 1 less thing to be worrying about

It could be the cyst, I know I had 1 on my left ovary when I was pg. Did you get morning sickness the last time? Make sure to let us know how the Dr appt goes and if you like him. Did you get referred to him? or seen reviews on him before?

What's the baby fair? The name alone sounds like something I would be going to without even knowing what it is lol

I'm doing ok, working out trying to lose more weight as I wait for AF. Still no sign of her though, today is 5 weeks exactly. My hpt's are negative and I think I may have ovulated last fri or sat, really not sure to be honest because I got a close to positive opk test this week too So I'm not sure but hanging in there and staying busy so I don't get too frustrated

Aww hang in there hun! I got my AF 5 wks 1 day after giving birth so maybe tomorrow can be your day too!

A baby fair is what the hospital hosts twice a year, it allows you to meet the staff, tour the maternity wing, have freebies like samples and also has booths for photography and all other goodies as well as chances to win items.

My hospital here does the same thing, once a week. Sadly when I was pregnant, I always got stuck working that day. It sounds like fun!!

Glad everything is going okay still, castaway! Very happy the spotting stopped.

- Today is 5 weeks exactly from my D&C too. I have been off and on cramping for a few days (4-5 maybe). It has been very mild. Today I had some cramping that felt a little worse. I actually thought my af was starting, but then it faded. No af yet. But hopefully soon!!!

MJ: Do you have any cramping? Or other pms signs? Do you normally have clear pms signs? I always get bad acne, I get grumpy (lol), and I have mild cramps before af -- for maybe a week before it comes.

 

[mj2013]

Castaway - that sounds like so much fun! I don't know if my hospital has that, I would have to check when I do get pg again

Calvinzoey - I usually start getting bloated about 2-3 days before, and I start getting miserable about 5 days before and I have cramps the day it starts but I have no signs yet, so I'm not sure what to think. It doesn't seem to be coming anytime really really soon

Thanks everyone for the welcome. We are anxious to try again but still have to wait for my AF. My fertility issue is mainly high FSh, so I have a low ovarian reserve. Started Coenzyme Q10 bc I heard that can help. We had actually started the adoption process when we found out we were pregnant. Hard to know what to do bc we thought this was our little miracle. My hubby wanted to try till Jan and if still not PG we will do the adoption process again while still trying.
I can't wait to go thru this journey with you ladies!

Morning ladies! Welcome Ashaz - you have found a v supportive bunch of ladies here!
Castaway - so glad the spotting has stopped! I think it is v common around first af time.

Afm - tok a trst on thursday (5 weeks after op). Still positive but lighter so jopefilly getting there.

 

[calvinzoey]

MJ: I'm sorry it's taking so long! It's frustrating. I keep feeling like af is going to start, then it doesn't. The waiting game is torturous.

Ashaz: Definitely keep trying until January before starting the adoption process again - that's a good idea. You have a higher chance of getting preggers between now and then - so maybe you will have your little miracle. I hope we all get ours.

Hilslo: It is very strange it's taking so long to get your negative. However, I haven't even tested to see if I am negative. I assume I am. It's getting lighter, so that's good. Hopefully you'll soon have a negative and then sometime a big fat positive! Have you asked your doctor why it's taking so long?

Best of luck, I am an Adoption Specialist and I have had many families adopt and while in the process become pregnant! They are now blessed to have two children and that is wonderful luck!

Good luck trying to catch that egg!!

Hilslo - hang in there!

Ashaz - as castaway said, you should be more fertile during this period. My Dr even told me the same thing. If I don't get pg between now and the 1st week in January, he's going to be prescribing clomid for me, but hopefully we don't get to that stage and I get a bfp soon Are you still spotting? or testing positive on a hpt? or has everything stopped/gone away for you?

Calvinzoey - I wish I was feeling like AF is coming but I feel nothing! and I'm definitely not miserable like I get when AF is coming, I'm actually having a great week, lots of new things going on and new business projects and I'm just plain ole happy......if I was to get a bfp that would just be the cherry on top

Castaway - Being an adoption specialist and all, have you ever thought of adopting? Even though I can have kids, I've always thought of adopting one anyway, if I was in your line of work I wouldn't be able to stop myself from at least adopting one

Calvinzoey - when will you take a test? what if you have left over hcg? what if you're pg already?? and the cramping is implantation? I am dying for you to take a test lol

Oh yes, especially when I was in the field and actually visiting the families/children I had a few kids where I would have LOVED to take them home! I have kept in touch with many of my family/children and love to get update photos of them I now work with families matching them with children that are legally free and we are in need of a forever home. I also do Safe Haven adoptions as they are filtered through my office, I took a promotion and I work at the State office that handles the entire State. We have office through out our State that do the hands on adoptions I now work more as a facilitator and I am used for insight as well as testifying in court on adoption and goals for permanency....

Castaway: That sounds like an awesome job!

MJ: I'm thinking of taking a test soon, but as I also had only a couple "acts" that could have caused pregnancy, I'm scared to test and get a negative. And if I get a positive, what if it's always been positive and just haven't faded yet from last time? I'm probably just thinking too much and need to take that test. I'll set a date.. if I don't get my af by the 26th (which will be 6 weeks from D&C), then I'm testing!!!

Today: More cramping off and on. Thought my af was starting at work, ran to the bathroom... but nothing. Really tired, but woke up at 4:30 AM, so that makes sense. Hmm..

 

[mj2013]

Castaway that sounds like an awesome and rewarding job

Calvinzoey - I can't wait for the 26th for you to test! I slept most of today, but my boobs aren't sore or anything and I feel so normal, so I doubt I would be pg this cycle. As for your symptoms, I've heard so many women say they thought AF was coming and every time they thought she was here and they went to the bathroom there was nothing and they turned out pg, so it sounds like it could be possible for you I think your hpt would be negative by now, unless you retained some tissue. Since you weren't crazy like myself testing till the tests went negative if it is positive the only way to know if it's a new pg is either u/s or they'll do a beta test to see if your blood count is doubling. I have FX for you

I'm considering testing sooner, but I'm forcing myself to wait. We used the pull out method, which never failed me before... But maybe it did. My boobs are a little sore, still off and on cramping. No AF. I feel like I'm going crazy. Lol

I am very emotional, but I'm like that with my AF too.

 

[CastawayBride]

My fingers are crossed for you ladies

 

[mj2013]

Ladies I need some opinions/advice (tmi warning)..... So DH and I dtd last night and after when I wiped there was brown on the tissue. I don't know what to think about it. While I was pg my cervix was very sensitive so almost every time we dtd there would be that brown discharge after. However since the D&C, when we dtd I've never had it again until last night. I did take a hpt this morning and it's definitely negative, so I don't know if maybe it was a one time thing and my cervix might have been sensitive at that moment or if there is something else I might not be considering. I was thinking well maybe AF is coming, but I don't see any further sign of her. During my workout this morning I had weird feelings in my uterus, almost like a heaviness, so I'm not sure what to think

I would test, just in case

Maybe too soon, needs more time to build up in your system? Does sound promising though OR it could mean AF will start very soon...

Hmmmm, maybe, I'll another test on monday if AF doesn't show by then. FX one or the other happens

 

[calvinzoey]

Huh, that's strange. Maybe your cervix is still sensitive. Brown blood is old blood. Maybe having sex caused it to work its way out. I'd say wait a few days and test again to be sure. Keep us informed!!
