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

[brighteyez73]

Linny - She said that it was old blood in the uterus. I am sure what is going on. I will upload test pictures when I get home. I am still planning AF this week just in case. She was scheduled for today so we will see. I has a positive OPK on Jan 5th and 6th and I am usually due AF a week afterwards so we will see. I do test everyday. So waiting to see if AF comes this week or next. I have no PMS signs at all so i will see. Co-worker told me my skin looks awfully clear and bright, she asked what was I using, I laughed and said water which is true. So I don't if that's a sign or not

My first AF post D&C was 30 days on the dot and the second was 34 days. My doctor said it'd take 2 cycles for my body to reset for us to start trying again. I used an OPK this week and it was CD 14 - meaning I'm back on my 28 day cycle.

Brighteyes - I didn't realise blood could keep the hcg levels high....If the tests keep staying positive will your doctor get you in to check the blood levels again? Skin changes always seem to signal pregnancy for me, I do hope it's the same for you! Anyway, it's nice to have clear skin! x

Hi Expecting, welcome here. Sorry to hear about your mc, hopefully you'll catch the egg this month! x

 

[brighteyez73]

Linny - yes she said if I am still getting positives by Thursday she wants me to come and do another blood test on Friday. And yes clear skin is always wonderful rather it's pregnancy or not.

good morning, blue (and all you other ladies). I've been having lazy mornings lately too. My DD who is only 3 has been sleeping until about 9 which is amazing!

I am still waiting to ovulate for my first cycle after my mc. I think it's been 11 weeks now. Yikes! My doctor was pretty confused by my blood work this month and said she's not exactly sure what is going on. Leave it to my crazy body She asked me to come back in the beginning of Feb. to see if the lab work looks any different.

Tea - If you hadn't ovulated by CD21, do you think you might still have a chance? It's only been 16 days since then, and if you ovulated a few days later....? Did you notice any signs of O once you ran out of OPKs?

I wonder if I might still have a chance. I have kept a record of any symptoms all cycle, here they are:

cd 10 Wednesday 18th Dec - BD
cd 11 Thursday 19th Dec - nothing
cd 12 Fri 20th Dec - nothing
cd 13 Sat 21st Dec - BD
cd 14 Sun 22nd Dec - BD neg opk
cd 15 Mon 23rd Dec - neg opk
cd 16 Tues 24th Dec - neg opk
cd 17 Wed 25th Dec - BD neg opk
cd 18 Thurs 26th Dec - neg opk
cd 19 Fri 27th Dec - neg opk
cd 20 Sat 28th Dec - neg opk
cd 21 Sun 29th Dec - BD neg opk
cd 22 Mon 30th Dec - ran out of opks.
cd 23 Tues 31st Dec - BD
cd 24 Wed 1st Jan - feel slightly sick, slight twinges on left of uterus.
cd 25 Thurs 2nd Jan - BD
cd 26 Fri 3rd Jan - slight twinges in left of uterus.
cd 27 Sat 4th Jan - Feel very tired. Increased cm. Tender boobs with pressure.
cd 28 Sun 5th Jan - very sad today/moody.
cd 29 Mon 6th Jan - increased cm.
cd 30 Tues 7th Jan - increased cm. Boobs not tender. Metallic taste in mouth in the evening. Hungry.
cd 31 Wed 8th Jan - increased creamy cm. Skin looking very good which is unusual just before AF. Tender boobs (slightly). Hungry at night.
cd 32 Thurs 9th Jan - Very tired, found it hard to get up in the morning. increased cm, twinges in uterus every so often throughout day. Tender boobs. Very hungry.
cd 33 Fri 10th Jan - Strange hip pain and lower back pain too. Tender boobs. A little heart burn in eve.
cd 34 Sat 9th Jan - BFN in the morning. Very tender boobs. Increased cm.
cd 35 Sun 10th Jan - A few uterus twinges in the morning. Very tender boobs.
cd 36 Mon 11th Jan - (forgot to record symptoms).
cd 37 Tues 12th Jan - Twinge in uterus when I stood up quickly. Slight hip pain. Very tender boobs.

So judging by that, I may have ovulated on cd 26 as I had slight twinges on the left? Which would make me 11dpo today. I still haven't got any sign of AF. I'll test again at the weekend if AF still hasn't arrived which would make me cycle day 41 on Saturday, and possibly 15dpo.

I hope this is your cycle Crysshae! Good luck! xx

Tea - I think you still have a chance, and your symptoms sound promising. I hope you get a BFP!

Sending baby dust right back to you, slg, and everyone else!

Hi expectingtc- sorry for your loss. How have you been ? Hope you get your rainbow soon.

Bright -hope it works itself out.

Slg- oh lord thats a long cycle! Would she not refer you to the specialist see if they know whats going on? Thats great that your little one sleeps till nine haha!

Teacup- sounds promising. Have you taken a p test?
Xxxx

 

[teacup]

Teacup- sounds promising. Have you taken a p test?
Xxxx

I took one on Saturday cd 34, but not since then. If I ovulated on cd26 then I would have only been 8dpo on Saturday. But I don't really know when I ovulated! I think I'll wait until this Saturday before testing again.

How is your cycle going Blue? xxx

 

[bluestars]

Nothi b really happening now. Just plodding along. Dont think its my month again. I dont have 'the feeling' xxx

 

[slg76]

tea: I don't see any reason that you wouldn't have a chance this cycle. Sounds like you can test soon. oooohh, fingers crossed.

blue: yes, I am having one looooooong cycle. This actually is a fertility specialist that I'm seeing. I was doing fertility meds before I got pregnant and then she monitored my pregnancy/miscarriage. I see more of this doctor than I should Yep, my body is so confused that even the specialist can't figure it out. Leave it to me

 

[bluestars]

Im one for rare happenings xxx

 

[Literati_Love]

Teacup- you definitely have a chance!

Blue - I hope your 'feeling' is wrong!

Sara - sorry your body is not cooperating! I really hope your FSH goes back to normal soon.

Linny- I don't plan on doing any work from home. We will just have to be extreme savers this year so that we'll have something to fall back on if a big expense comes up when I'm on mat leave.

Lindsay - that is interesting that you noticed the same muted reactions from others who knew about your m/c. It makes sense, but doesn't seem fair. Surely our own excitement has been dampened enough for everyone. Hopefully everyone will increase in excitement soon.

Crys - Thanks, you're right.

AFM - I am having a particularly gaggy day today. The smells of people's food at work (and the coffee!) was making me feel very queasy.

Tonight we are going to the Ballet...They are doing "Romeo and Juliet." DH won tickets on the radio and I'm looking forward to it as I've never been to a ballet. I'm just hoping I can stay awake! Hope you all have a good evening/day!

 

[Linnypops]

Brighteyes - Fingers crossed it gives you a definitive answer on Friday. It must be frustrating having to keep waiting for these results to come back x

Sara - Good to hear you won't have long to wait before you get back in and see what's happening! I hope there's some change for you before then though x


Tea- I reckon you're def in with a chance. Fingers crossed for you at the weekend! x


Blue - Well, I hope your bfp gut-instinct is skewed and you get those 2 lines! I can't remember if you said when you would test this month?

LL - enjoy the ballet! I've never been either but always fancied going to the nutcracker at xmas. Sorry to hear the quesiness is still with you - hopefully that'll tail off in a few weeks. Are you managing to stay the same weight? x

Afm - Things going well, got a lovely commission outside of work that I really wanted. It's so exciting to be putting my efforts into something I enjoy and taking my mind of the worry side of pregnancy finally. Hoping that time flies now!

 

[bluestars]

Hey yay ladies... How are we all today.

Not going to test until AF is due (if I can hold off). I don't want to jinx it!

Had a dream I had a baby last night. It was supposed to be a bou but was dressed in girls clothes and looked girly! Haha. Also had 2 positive tests in my dream. Totally woke up wanting to test and actually believing it was real haha.

How are you preggo ladies!?
Sara what have you been up to? How is DD?
Teacup- what you been up to?
Kim -how are you ? Are you back to trying yet ?

Xxx

 

[bluestars]

Ok I have slight lower back pain. But im sure thats from my stupid old couch lol xxx

 

[brighteyez73]

Good morning ladies, I had some spotting yesterday but it stopped. It was only there when I wiped. And today it was there again when I wiped, very lite pink. I hope this is AF coming or maybe implantation spotting. Either way bring it on I am ready.

Linny - I hate the waiting but if AF comes will have my answer. If not than I will be anticipating for Friday for the next 2days.

 

[crysshae]

LL - Have fun at the ballet. I've never been either. I have been to the opera and loved it.

Blue - Yay for symptom spotting! Does your couch usually cause you back pain???

Linny - Congratulations on the extra work and 15 weeks today! Time flies!

Bright - I hope you have answers either way soon.

AFM - O confirmed. Officially in the TWW. My temp was probably higher than it should've been though as I woke up with my heart racing like I was startled or something. I must've been sleeping harder than usual when DH's alarm went off. Yay for a full night's sleep. I didn't have to get up and let the cat out. He was very well behaved. Hmm...Maybe that's why my temp was higher because I hadn't been in and out of bed 50 times and didn't have to worry about warming back up over and over.

 

[bluestars]

No not always. Woo for temp rise!!! Xxx

 

[crysshae]

Then woohoo for back pain too! And your temp is a bit higher than it was this time last cycle....
