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

Ooh...great news! Finally now, at 9:30 pm, I am getting ovulation cramps! Woohoo! They are not as localized as usual so I can't really tell which side I'm ovulating on, but they're definitely the same kind of cramps I usually get so I am very pleased! And we BDed today so we did not miss it! Yay!
 
Literati- I don't think that caused your MC. It's a horrible connection, I think it would be easier to say that's what caused it- but the reason it happened is so much more complex than that :(.
It sucks when work places don't really care about chemicals and stuff when it comes to employees though.
When I was pregnant, very early on, we had a bug repellent guy come in and do our offices. I put up a sign not to do mine, but everything stank so bad.
In my previous office, the AC in our complex was connected to the charimans office and he smokes like there's no tomorrow. It was horrible.
I'm crossing my fingers and praying for all of us that this is our month <3
 
I've now read most of the posts and hopefully catched up with everything.

Nina - That OPK you posted looks FABULOUS!!:thumbup: I'm sorry DH was being off, men just love being annoying sometimes, they feed off it I'm sure! I'm glad you still managed to schedule in lots of baby dancing, fingers crossed for that Big Fat Positive soon!:happydance:

Lindsay - The bad smell thing is such a good sign!! Can't wait to get your update on the scan, I hope they get a good pic too so we can see little bean :flower: xx

Blue - I'm so sorry the witch arrived. Don't give up, can you go to the docs and tell them about your understandable frustration of not falling after the boys? Maybe even lay it on a bit thick, they're there to help at the end of the day. Maybe they could do Day 21 bloods like they do for some people and scans to check the egg this cycle? I rarely go to the doctors or hospital but obviously been in a lot following this pregnancy stuff and now do believe if you don't ask you don't get. Might be worth a try, the worst that can happen is they give you a deadline by which they can help?:hugs:

And you keep that bottle steriliser and tell her to poke it! I can't believe the cheek of some people, you WILL have a baby very soon and lots of babies after too!! You're going to use that steriliser until it blows up, I promise you that!!!:thumbup::haha: I'm fuming and it's not even my step-mum!!!!!:growlmad: I think a firm word is needed, it might come across harsh to her initially but at least she'll get it. Just say, I'm happy for you, over the moon but that doesn't take away from what's happened to me VERY recently, because it is recently. I want to keep the things I bought so I can use them when we do have a baby.

Literati Love - I'm SO glad you got ovulation pains. I got such bad pains last cycle I was bent over, thinking it was AF arriving at an odd time, so pain of this kind at this time of the cycle is SO good!!:thumbup: Fingers crossed the 2WW when it comes, passes quickly and you get a nice strong BFP to show off to us.

Crysshae - Glad you're filling your time with the best form of exercise, baby dancing!! And your cm sounds A-Mazing, just keep at it like rabbits :winkwink: and your egg will catch those little swimmers. We'll see your ovulation through your temps even if you don't use OPKs.

And I love the sound of you training to be a midwife, that would be so good. Let us know how you get on if you decide to research it and go for it. I spoke to hubby about a change of career into it and he was a little dubious, I think he thinks I'm loosing my mind!!:haha:

Mrs A - How are you? Whereabouts in your cycle are you now??

So I'm ok ladies, oddly I've pretty much stopped bleeding! Weird, though the same happened with my last D&C I think (it was 4 years ago, so I can't really remember). My uterus has gone back into me now, so have a flat tummy again. They also said when they went in, it had moved from it's tilted position into straight, so that's interesting, that's probably why I could feel it jutting out suddenly. I hadn't realised that happened so early on in some cases. Who knows if it'll go back tilted or not now.

I didn't sleep at all last night, tried for a couple of hours but then at 1 o'clock didn't think it was fair on hubby to keep tossing and turning, so came downstairs to the lounge and watched everything I had recorded and did research on miscarriages etc on the internet! Crept back upstairs at 7 o'clock hoping he hadn't noticed I'd been gone but he did!! Back at work today, as no real reason not to be. I don't feel tired yet, just so glad I'm not bleeding lots, as I look grey from the d&c anyway!!! Mentally I'm still ok, I'm waiting for the slump but it's still not come yet. I forgot how many forms you have for a d&c and how many risks they tell you about, perforations in the uterus, damaging tubes and in extreme hysterectomy's!!!!!!!!!:wacko: I'm just glad everything's still in there and it went as well as I could have hoped!:thumbup:

xxxx
 
Big hugs Aleeah :hugs:
I'm glad you feel physically better. It's interesting they got something from the babies, hopefully you'll get some answers soon!
I hope you have a good and calm vacation- you need it <3
 
That's great, LL!

Aleeah - I'm glad you're feeling okay. Do take care of yourself and don't overdo it. :hugs: When will you be leaving for your vacation?

Lindsay - Looking forward to your scan today!

Blue, Nina, Mrs A - How are y'all doing?
 
I've got sort of AF cramps. way too early for that whatever the cause is!
It's strange :wacko:
 
Blue, sorry to see AF got you :( :hugs:

LL, that's great news about the ovulation cramps!! Glad to hear you've got your bases covered too :)

Nina, looks like you ovulated, fingers crossed you caught the egg!!

Aleeah, I agree with Crys, make sure you don't overdo it! I had very little bleeding after my D&C, just a day or 2 of really light stuff. Then a few days of light bleeding about 2 weeks later (which is when I assume my hcg levels reached 0). Hopefully your recovery will continue to be smooth :hugs:

Crys, Mrs A how are you ladies doing?

As for me, I'm a bit of a nervous wreck this morning... did not sleep much at all last night. I have a non-pregnancy related specialist appointment this morning, then the ultrasound this afternoon. I will update when I get back home.
 
I'm doing well. Just waiting as usual. Lol.

I have 3 friends including you on here getting scans today, so I've been stalking for updates all morning. :wacko: So exciting! I hope your scan reassures you and you can relax and get some rest to make up for your lack of sleep last night.
 
Aww hope they find something from the babies that can be helpful! I hope you get some sleep tonight ! You will be tired. I have spoken to doc about cd21 tests and he said he'd do them but for the past two cycles I have been away for cd 21 it's annoying. So hopefully get it this month. I smile and said I'd see if I could find the steriliser but she isn't getting it.

I'd be the bad one if I brought anything up all I would here is she's pregnant you shouldn't be stressing her out! Heyho

AF really heavy and painful today! I just want to curl up in my bed with a hot water bottle. It's rather good as OH runs about after me if I want him to soo I think I'm going to make the most of it tonight. (Whenever he comes home).

How did scan go linds ?

Xxx
 
Got good news :). Breathing a lot easier now. Will update later with a photo :)
 
Nina - Thanks. Oy, doesn't it feel like danger lurks around the corner around every turn when you're pregnant? That's ridiculous about the bug repellent thing. I would have been freaking out if I were you! Let's just hope there aren't so many chemicals floating around us the next time we're pregnant...just to be on the safe side!

Also...the last time I got mild AF-like cramps in the few days following ovulation, I got my BFP! So it definitely could be a good sign. But I'm sure it's nothing bad, anyway.

Aleeah - Interesting that your uterus had already straightened out from pregnancy! Sorry you were having trouble sleeping last night, and that you're so pale from the d&c. I definitely agree that you should take it easy. If it were me, I'd definitely not be back at work yet, just for emotional reasons, so good for you!

Blue - That sucks AF is getting you down. Definitely make use of OH's helpfulness tonight! You deserve that. I've never heard of the cd21 test... I'll have to look it up later. Hopefully you can get it done this month.

Lindsay - CONGRATULATIONS! That is amazing! I had a very good feeling about you. I can't wait to see the photo! You must feel so great right now.

As for me, my temp did go up today after those ovulation cramps last night, so I'm fairly certain I ovulated last night. I guess just 2 more days of temping before I can confirm. We will BD tonight and tomorrow to be on the safe side. I can hardly wait to be done this part! ahah. But the TWW is miserable and at least BDing distracts me. :p
 
Here's the photo of our little blobbie :) The ultrasound tech was very nice and let my husband come in for the whole thing which is not their policy. She did all her measurements and then let us see the heartbeat and said that at this point, "everything looks great". She did not tell me what the heart rate was, or what the CRL was as apparently she's not allowed to tell those things... but did say that she wasn't concerned about anything :) I am thinking I will make an appointment with my family doctor later this week, or early next week to go over the report. Feeling much better about things though and looking forward to a good night's sleep.

That's wonderful, Lindsay! Cute little blobbie. I'm so happy for you!
 
Great scan, Lindsay! And wonderful news. I'll admit I can almost never distinguish the baby in early scans, but I am very very happy to hear that there is a heartbeat and that there were no concerns! I can't wait to hear the full report from your doctor. I do hope you get that well-deserved good night's sleep tonight! You can rest easy knowing your baby is in wonderful health! :)
 
That's great news Lindsay! So cute :)
It's strange they don't let husbands in :s My doctor already knows I like DH in with me so he calls in him before I get the chance!
There's actually a policy here that it's against the law and a doctor could loose his license if they deny you another person in the room- Sexual harassment reasons.
 
Aww cracking photo linds! Congratulations!! OH's are always asked to they scans here. I thought that was normal hehe. Whoops.


Yet for O lit!! Fingers crossed for you !! Xxxx
 
DH has always been at scans with me too. It seems odd to have a policy that doesn't allow them in. I wonder what the reason is.

FF says I ovulated CD11. I'm not sure if it will change it's mind. If it turns out to be right, we at least have the chance to catch it. Our regular BDing quickly turned to nothing the last 2 days after DH had to work in 100 degree heat all day both days. It just drains you. :nope:

How is everyone today?
 
So pleased for you Lindsay!! It's your little rainbow, currently shaped as a bean!:wohoo: We can call it bean for now, I'm sure it'll resemble a baby in no time. So pleased hubby was there too, excited for you :happydance:!!

So on way out now, will msg you girls when I'm back, likely to be Monday but who knows!! It's hubby surprising me, thought it was a UK trip but we're headed to airport...!:happydance: Excited this time, last time he did this he proposed and I hadn't want him to (nerves of things changing for us when they were so good!), still at least I know he can't do that again!!!:haha:

If we have wifi in the hotel, I'll check in with you all xxxx
