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

[Lindsay109]

Nat, I think waiting is the hardest part. Hopefully it will happen soon so you can start to move on... so sorry this is happening to you again

Blue - sorry to hear about your asthma too, but hopefully it's a good sign for both of us. What are cleggs? Bee stings are the worst!

Today's update, didn't sleep at all, was so worried, she said those words no-one wants to hear: "we're concerned it's another miscarriage". Why say that until you know?! My doctor is lovely and has been amazing, as has suffered multiple miscarriages too but just wish she hadn't said that. I had hubby with me and he barely picked up on that sentence and seems to think it's all ok! Men!! I did another FRER this morning and it was very strong, so feel happier. I'm going for bloods this afternoon and guess will get results when they are fed back to the surgery probably not for a few days. Meanwhile I did ask her about continuing to take 5mg of Folic Acid and she said to continue. Also asked her about Baby Aspirin and she said she couldn't recommend it as only a specialist can do that but she took it through her 2 healthy pregnancies and winked at me! I take it from that I should be taking it, so will get some today. Waiting game but for now I'm pregnant, I'm lucky to be pregnant, so am very grateful and happy to be so.

Bluestars - Poor you!! Being eaten alive doesn't sound nice at all!! I always attract mosquito's, in Asia I have what they call sweet blood. I come back covered in bits head to toe from holidays, albeit nice with nice and brown tanned skin!!! I hope your bites heal soon, are you smoothering them in lots of creams to keep the itching at bay?

Nat - It's so sad you're going through this. Have you chosen to have a natural miscarriage, or did they even give you a choice? Try and keep busy, it will start and when it does try and take it easy. I vegged out the few days after in front of the TV, watched lots of films and ate tonnes of chocolate! Just fill your time with other stuff for now, I'm praying for you.

Lindsay - Remember, every pregnancy is different like the others have said. And if I'm honest I still think my symptoms are very slight this time and all the others to be honest. The asthma thing absolutely could be a good sign , I had the same last BFP and this time (but I think it's more hayfever related this time for me), fingers and toes crossed for you.

Crysshae - You're nearly back to the baby dancing window!! Fun stuff!! Me and hubby have yet to dtd since getting the BFP, not from not wanting to, just not having the time too. I think we're all practised out!

Nina - Bummer you don't have FRER out there. But I guess the CB ones are just the same these days, my favourite tests are the normal CB ones, I love seeing that positive cross appear. Hate the waiting around of a digital test and I got a negative with one of those and a day later a positive, so not keen on those until later. Your temps still look good hun, can't wait for you to test, not long left now. Got everything crossed for you. Any new symtoms today??

I've started thinking that maybe the maca I've been taking has been giving me these strange symptoms. I've had more nausea today than ever, and so bloated I can hardly sleep on my side
CM is very watery, and cervix was high and super soft I could hardly find it, but OPK was super super faint.
I didn't take the maca in the past 2 days, but maybe it already started it's side effects before?

 

[Lindsay109]

Aleeah, that's a great sign that your tests are still dark, hopefully the follow-up blood test will show nice and high numbers I think sometimes doctor say things, meaning well, but don't realise how stressful it can be for the person hearing it.

Hmm, interesting that you noticed asthma issues as well. I hope it's either a good sign or it goes away, lol. Yeah, my chart is looking pretty good but I think today's temp is a little higher than it should be because it's hot... trying to be cautiously optimistic so I don't get my hopes up too much.

 

[Nat0609]

Al - good luck with the bloods huni although I'm sure you don't need it!

I was supposed to go for more bloods yesterday but I didn't go. I don't drive so I would have had to drag the kids on 2 buses there and 2 buses back to be told what I already know.

I probably should have gone but I couldn't face it. I just want to hide under the duvet until this is all over xx

Sorry you've having so many strange symptoms... I don't know much about maca... maybe don't take it for a few more days and see if things resolve?

Re. OPK's, one thing I have noticed since my m/c is that they go from faint, to really dark very quickly... like in a day. It used to be that they gradually got darker and were kind of the same colour as the control line, but now it happens fast and they are significantly darker than the control line. So, maybe yours will change fast too...

 

[crysshae]

Lindsay and Blue - I hope asthma is a very good sign for you both.

Nat - I know it's such a confusing time. Hating what is happening but wanting it to hurry up and get it over with all at the same time.

Aleeah - Fingers crossed your blood tests are perfect today and that they get the results back to you sooner than a few days.

Nina - I don't have any experience with it, but Maca is supposed to reset your hormones, so I would think it's possible it could be causing your symptoms.

Cleggs are flying devils that bite and leave huge marks that itch and hurt. Aleeah ive never been bitten by anything ever but the last few weeks it has been horrible. Still
I did get a little bit of a tan.

Aleeah good thay you are still getting strong positives! Keeping my fingees crossed!

Nat I understand take it easy and spend lots of time woth your little angels! They will help keep your spirits high! Hope you are ok!

Linds- im the same with temps. Hot weather and things.

Although today I still feel bloated my jeans are tighter today had to put leggins on after work! However my temp was lower again today. So just waitong and seeing. Xxxx

 

[bluestars]

Hey ladies how are we all doing ?

Linds- your chart look really good!

Xxx

 

[Nat0609]

Linds- your chart look really good!

Xxx

I'm ok, still only lightly bleeding brown. Nothing substantial. Wonder if this is all I'll get? No pain or clots? I dunno. I've ran out of tests so can't see if they are fading out. I'll have to go back to the EPAU I think but it's such a pain in the rear.

Linds - I agree Chart is looking good. I learnt all about them yesterday lol.

Blue - yours isn't looking too bad either.

Al - Did you get blood results yet? Xx

 

[bluestars]

Aww nat glad your not suffering too much! xxxx

 

[Nat0609]

Aww nat glad your not suffering too much! xxxx

Thanks but surely this can't be it

I expected something a bit more substantial. I know I'm not/wasn't very far on but thought it'd be at least some kind of painful xx

 

[bluestars]

I'm not sure how It usually goes that early. I was a lot further on so I can't really give advice. How far where you the last time hon ? Xxx

 

[Nat0609]

I had ERPC so it was different but 10 weeks xx

 

[bluestars]

Aww so it was. It can take some time to properly start I think. Whee you still getting positives ? Xxx

 

[Nat0609]

Top Sunday
Middle Monday
bottom Tuesday

 

[bluestars]

They don't look like they are fading much though do they ? Xxx

 

[Nat0609]

They don't look like they are fading much though do they ? Xxx

No

I'm phoning the EPAU now xx

 

[Aleeah]

No results yet. They're in apparently at the surgery but the doctor needs to release them to me. I'm now so worried!! I should just not think about it as she'll call me when she does. All the receptionist could say was that the HCG had gone up but couldn't tell me by how much! Annoying!! I've now found out it was at 103 at the last test, which was at 13dpo, so I'm happier with that number now I know it. Don't know why they didn't tell me that to start with!! Hubby is being as about supportive as a wet fish!! (I'm not very good with sayings, I'm not sure what the saying is!!) He seems more bothered talking about TV, or food or anything but how much I'm fretting here, men!! Sorry rant over, I now feel surprisingly calm...!

Nat - It's weird it's not kicked in yet, maybe your body isn't acknowledging it? Did the EPAU have any light to shed on it? They should be able to start things for you if that's what you wanted? Or at least scan to see what's still in there.

Bluestars - Hope the bites have died down a bit? I was left with scars for a few months, so couldn't even show off the tan!! Needless to say, I now take tonnes of insect repellent on hols!

Your chart's looking really good at the moment!! What you thinking???

Nina - Have your symptoms died down now you're not taking the maca?

Lindsay - Come on feed my symptom spotting obsession, you got any new ones?? Your chart still looks amazing. I'm so glad you're all charting, I miss my chart, so can feed that weirdness in me by stalking yours!

Crysshae - Hope you've got lots of baby dancing planned? Remember you're way more fertile after a m/c, so this could be your rainbow cycle!

I'll keep you ladies all posted, as soon as I know, I'll let you all know.
