Waiting for AF after M/C, anyone else? OCBM

[crysshae]

I love charting...everything except I get up at 5:30 a.m. during the week and I hate having to take my temp at that time on the weekend. Lol. But I usually go back to sleep pretty easily.

Remember it doesn't show you where you are but where you've been...so to speak. But if you know when you usually ovulate or use OPKs, then BD regularly during that time and use charting to confirm ovulation, keep up with symptoms, how you feel, etc... After a couple months, you'll see your personal pattern. If you do decide to do it and you have any questions, I'll help in any way I can.

Thank you girlies. I think I'm going to take at least one cycle off TTC after this. I think my body needs a break xx

I don't blame you. My doctor told me to wait until I had my first period. It was so hard for me to watch O go by, but I did, and I'm glad I did.

It's necessary I think. I need to get myself back to normal.

I'm thinking more and more about temping so I know exactly where I am in future xx

I would definitely suggest giving temping a try - I have found it very helpful for figuring out my own patterns and knowing when I usually ovulate. Kinda gives me a sense of control and makes me feel like I'm doing something to help with ttc. I started when I first came off birth control so I could figure out what my body was doing, and I have carried on... especially now, post m/c I find it helpful so I have some idea of what my body is doing.

Hi ladies, how is everyone doing? I haven't been around for a week as we've been in haven in Scarborough, had a lovey week, just what I needed. I took a test last Sunday and it still had a faint line, the doctor said I'm to take another this Sunday and if there's still a line I've got to go in for blood test. Fingers crossed its negative! Then I'm just waiting for af to show up and try again.
Once I get home later on I'm going to try and catch up xx

I think I'll give it a go ladies. Just as soon as I find out what my body is doing at the moment xx

Have you had anymore bleeding? My advice if you do seriously suspect an ectopic is to go to A&E. They won't be able to do anything there, so will just take you up to the EPU anyway, I wasn't sat in A&E for long at all, as they knew they couldn't do anything and at least was seen to and dealt with in the EPU (albeit that took all day, waiting on blood tests and then waiting for the ultrasound).

Sounds like you had fun. I wish we could plan a vacation this year.

I hope you get some peace of mind soon.

No no more bleeding, no pain.

The problem is that where I live we have 2 hospitals. A&E is in one and the EPAU is in the other so I'd have to go to one side of the city to the A&E and back to the other side to the EPAU.

If I get any pain I'll go straight to A&E but if not I might as well wait for my GP to refer me up to the EPAU.

I personally think I've miscarried and the hCG has dropped in my blood but not y urine xx

Glad you had a lovely time away WelshGirl!! xxx

Today's test. Top.

I've phoned the OOH Doctor.

Scan at 11.30 am xx

Hi Nat0609, I really am thinking of you, just read about what's happening. Hope this ends up being your sticky bean .

I wanted to echo what the other lovely ladies said about temping. It leaves no doubt and helps you feel better that you're o'ing. In my case, I knew exactly what days to bd and how to read my OPK's as a result. It also tells you things so you don't have to wait to find out. For instance, if it dips below your coverline post-ovulation, but you get a BFP, you're more likely to have an MC. huge hugs

I'm so glad they are going to get you in. Please let us know what you find out.

 

[Nat0609]

Thanks ladies.

Inconclusive at the moment. Nothing visible in uterus or tubes. Had repeat bloods done today and they are taking bloods Monday too.

Should get the results in an hour or so xx

How are you holding up Nat? xx

 

[Nat0609]

Ok I guess. I just feel like I'm going insane. I took all my tests with me lol!

When the bloods come back I'll have more of an idea xx

Did they give you any suggestions as to what it could be ? xxx

I can only imagine how crazy you must feel right now.

 

[Nat0609]

Right so firstly I was told my first beta wrong. It wasn't 6 at all!

It was 3! Yes, just 3! So I got positive pregnancy tests with a beta of 3 it would appear.

The good news is the level is now 31 which is still low but is a doubling time of 30 hours. Repeat Beta in a week when hopefully by then it'll be high enough for me to be scanned again.

So, for the meantime at least, I am pregnant again! Xx

 

[Nina83]

Nat, that's great news! 30 hours is still good doubling time
How many DPO are you?
3?! Wow, that's odd. Under 5 isn't considered pregnant, so that's quite deceiving!

I've no idea. I *think* I'm about 17 dpo.

When she said it was 3 I said well isn't under 5 classed as not pregnant and she said my EPAU classes over 2 as pregnant.

I was supposed to have a repeat on Monday but because its doubled in less than 48 hours they are repeating next week instead now.

It's all very strange, I must get hCG in my pee before my blood?? Is that even possible lol? Xx

So pleased for you Nat, I actually started crying when I read your post!! (I seem to be very emotional.... hhhmmmm more than that later...!) I'm so pleased for you, you've all been so supportive and I feel like I want us all to get our BFP's. Praying for a tough little sticky bean for you xx
