Carlandjane - Happy anniversary to you and dh! AF def had some crummy timing, but I hope that you enjoyed the day in spite of that. After my mc, I felt like a stranger to my own body -- it's great news that your cycle was right on time. It will take some time for the hormones to regulate, but if you're emotionally ready to ttc, don't worry about your body holding you back. My doctor was certain I didn't ovulate the cycle after mc, and here I am pregnant from the second cycle. Our bodies are so resilient -- it's really our hearts that need the most time to heal.
wantabby, so sorry that AF showed -- the first 2 cycles post MC were so wicked, I was literally doubled over in pain. I hope that you're feeling some relief now.
Sara, fx that this is cycle you get your BFP! Sorry that AF showed up -- fingers are so crossed for you this month! I'm sorry that you're feeling down. That BFP is headed your way soon!
Linny, look how close you are to meeting your baby!! So excited for you!
Mrs W, happy anniversary to you as well!
Cryss, how is everything going?
Blue, how are you feeling hon? Any better? I hope you get home soon.
Lit, A&W sounds awesome, lol. You must be exhausted, you're always on the move! How did the birthing class go? How is DH handling everything? Men seem much more nervous about labor than we do (quite ironic, isn't it?). I hope you get a nice, restful weekend!
AFM, got great news today! My hcg numbers went from 93 to 239 in 48 hours -- yippy!!!! So this pregnancy is developing along! I was a little worried about my progesterone, so I've been slatering on my cream 3 times a day. My doctor doesn't believe n progesterone supplements, and because I'm above the minimum of 11 (my progesterone is 15) she's unwilling to prescribe anything. So I am liberally applying my otc cream 3 times a day.
I've been feeling a little better, just quite fatigued. By 2pm, I'm ready to climb under my desk for a nap. I stopped eating a few hours before bedtime, and I'm not as sick at night, which has been great. I have my first ultrasound and doctor's visit on June Overall feeling cautiously optimistic.
Thank you so much for your kind words this past week - quite the rollercoaster!!
