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

[Nina83]

isn't it amazing how one day you POAS and there's nothing there and then the next day there is?
Only now I realize how AMAZING it actually is. One day there's nothing in there, the next- a miracle. I can't wait to experience it again!

 

[bluestars]

I know. I just sometimes get that no i really think im pregnant and HAVE to pee on a stick and expect a pos. But obviously theres no pos there. Slowly running oit of peesticks and now staying and my granmas for two days and shes a nosey auld yin so not going to buy any more till at least friday. Lol I will be 11dpo then xxxx

LL, I'm glad to hear AF is almost gone My first AF after the D&C was really heavy as well, that seems to be the norm. Sounds like you've got a great BD schedule, I hope this is your month! I was told that after a m/c you are more fertile... I didn't believe it, but I did get pregnant the first normal cycle so who knows, maybe there is some truth to it. Yeah, I really hope the nausea bodes well, but I did have nausea last time too though so I guess only time will tell. I'm an occupational therapist and about half of my caseload is adults and the other half kids, and I see them all at their homes. The nice part is that I also spend a big chunk of time working from home.... so hopefully if I'm going to throw up, it happens then, lol. What do the rest of you do for a living?

Blue, I'm glad FF finally figured it out! Your chart really is looking very good, I have high hopes for you!! 11 dpo sounds like a good day to start testing again

Aleeah, hun I am sending you some huge hugs I really hope you are wrong and friday brings good news. I wish there was more I could do, words and little smiley face guys just don't seem enough....

Crys, glad to hear AF is gone Woohoo, time to get to BD!!

Nina, I hope the yeast infection clears up, and you can get on with the BD!!

Copied from my journal
My blood results are
6/8/13 70
13/8/13 64
So I got my blood result for today........25hcg

So the fertility consultant rang me, as he was very interested in my notes, and apparently ran ff with them!

He said that this clearly ended in a cervical ectopic pregnancy, but that the d&c tissue that was sent off came back as normal, non pregnant endometrium.
He said that he doesn't have an answer, but that "thank god you seem to be curing yourself" it could have been a whole other story.
He said that he would send me to the nearest city for the methotrexate injection, but he said if I was TTC, he wouldn't advise this as I would have a 2-4 month wait or ttc for the safely of any embryo.
I declined the shot, and so he sad that he wants me to repeat my hcg blood test in 2 weeks, and that after my test s negative, as he knows we've been trying for a while he will start the fertility testing ball rolling without going through my gp (who is shit)
So all in all, I'm still bleeding, my hcg is 25 and I'm going to be given infertility tests/treatment!

For anyone ttc after a loss, he ask said categorically yes you can most definatly bleed while ovulating, but that it wouldn't be a favourable environment for a pregnancy.

 

[bluestars]

Mrs A that sounds soo confusing for you. Im so glad your body has an idea on what to do to resolve whats going on. Xxx

 

[Mrs A]

Me too!

 

[crysshae]

Crys, glad to hear AF is gone Woohoo, time to get to BD!!

I'm a medical transcription account manager and work at home.

Now...to get DH to agree at the right time this month!

Im definatley feeling crampy...not sure if its windy crampy or what.... not my usual im not sure. (Sory for kep going on!) My tww must be a nightmare for you guys too! Haha. Xxxx

I'm glad your body has figured out what to do. Sounds like a great specialist you've got there!

Nina - Yeah, I think I always got a YI before AF as well. I think there's a major pH balance change from ovulation until your period because you go from so much CM to suddenly so very dry. Even when I don't get a YI I often have a little bit of itchiness/discomfort the few days before AF.

You are so right that a BFP is *such* a miracle and never something to take for granted ever again! I can't wait til you get another either!

Blue - Omg, I feel like your two week wait is dragging on as well! I feel like you ovulated ages ago! I can imagine you are just hating the wait. I hope you can last til 11 dpo to buy more tests. I am sure you wouldn't get a positive result before then anyway.


Aleeah - I am very sorry that you have come to accept/believe you are having an MMC. I also really hope you are wrong, but I know how it feels when you just know. I hope Friday brings some closure for you, and I do hope that will be happy closure, but I wish you luck no matter what. You are so strong for getting through this. I don't even know how you are managing. You are so brave!

Lindsay - Thanks. It's more or less the plan we used the month I got PG, although we actually missed the first day of ewcm and it still happened, so I know it is a good plan that can work for us. It can get very tiring, though! Especially this cycle when I don't know when I will ovulate. I ovulated on cd12 the month I got PG, but I am kind of hoping I don't ovulate til cd14 or 15 this time.

That is nice you get to work from home some of the time! It sounds like a good job, but definitely brutal while you're feeling sick. I can't wait until you get some answers. But I really have a good feeling for you this time! I am a Technical Writer at an engineering firm.

Crys - What is your plan for BDing this cycle?!

Mrs. A - Good to see that your levels are going down. I hope this whole ordeal is over soon.

 

[crysshae]

No real plan except bossing DH around this time so we don't miss it. Last time he said "why don't you tell me?" So that's what I'm gonna do.

Just hoping for every other day and some extras thrown in when possible. Lol.

 

[Literati_Love]

Sounds good! I'm glad your hubby is okay with you telling him this time! You definitely don't want to miss it.

 

[bluestars]

Nice job crys and LL. Not sure whats involved with your job LL I love the variation though. (Im a nurse... not long qualified.)

Sounds like a good plan crys. I tried preseed this month fongers crossed its worked its not the cheapest. Xxx

 

[crysshae]

I've always wanted to be a nurse, but I started my family early and enjoyed being able to stay home with my children. I've been home a little more than 17 years now. I can also be a huge germaphobe and worried how I would cope if I ever became a nurse. I've been thinking about going back to school recently, just not sure what I want to be when I grow up yet.

 

[bluestars]

Haha im a bit obsessive with handwashing I must admit. Haha always have been. I was one of those sad girls that always wanted to be a nurse and actually put myself through it haha xxx

 

[Lindsay109]

Im definatley feeling crampy...not sure if its windy crampy or what.... not my usual im not sure. (Sory for kep going on!) My tww must be a nightmare for you guys too! Haha.

Xxxx

Nah, keep it up! I enjoy living vicariously

 

[Lindsay109]

Mrs A that sounds really confusing. At least your hcg is going down, that's a good sign. Nice that you can avoid the methotrexate, that is nasty stuff. Also glad to hear that your fertility specialist can get the ball rolling on the testing. What kind of testing are you going to have done?

LL, I know what you mean, the BD schedule really can get exhausting! DH and I didn't dtd for quite some time after the most recent 2 w/w, we needed a break, lol. Yes, I love my job, although some days it does require a lot of energy. Today I was helping a young client learn how to do the monkey bars... I forgot how hard it was to do the monkey bars, lol... I've got blisters, but she was pretty successful so that's what matters.

Blue, I considered nursing as well, although thought I wouldn't cope well with the shift work. Certainly a very rewarding job I'm sure.

 

[Nina83]

Haha im a bit obsessive with handwashing I must admit. Haha always have been. I was one of those sad girls that always wanted to be a nurse and actually put myself through it haha xxx

Both my Mom and Dad are nurses, I never considered it until we lived next to a hospital and I was seriously considering it. My Mom would never have approved, she told me to go be a doctor instead but I'm too dumb for that, so I'm a graphic designer
I think nurses are amazing, and I admire them so much. I'd still like to be one some day, I know it's never too late.
my BIL GF is studying to be a nurse, and I'm kind of jealous I think I'm just embarrassed about maybe failing and flunking. I'm too much of a perfectionist to put myself in a position of maybe failure, I wouldn't be able to take it. What a crappy attitude.

 

[londongirl]

Hi all

Can I join you? I had a MMC at 11 weeks last year, and then got pregnant again (currently supposedly 6 weeks) but I went to A&E yesterday as I had spotting and the scan showed gestational sac and yolk sac but HCG only 700 So I've been told it's not viable and to wait it out. Have a re-scan in two weeks.

I'm trying desperately to stay positive and not start over-catastrophising (eg, not thinking 'it'll never happen' and 'what is wrong with me'!).

Any advice on how to stay positive, and also how to make hcg comd down quickly (!!) would be greatly appreciated!

 

[bluestars]

I find it rewarding a lot sometimes tough.

London girl- im soo sorry about what your going through right now. I really do hope they are wrong and you are just a bit earlier than you thought.

Xxx

I've no idea, he said they'll basically make sure everything is working and if not, help us to fix what we can
