thanks! I hope lots of holiday newborns for us!!

It was a weird AF, I guess the first post MC is always weird. I never start at night and I was in the kitchen and just felt this gush.... ugh. I hate to think it was just a chemical or something, I guess my body wasn't ready for another bean...

[Nanette56]

That's what I'm worried about this month. That my body isn't ready to be pregnant again that fast. But the doc reassured me that I should be ok because my Betas were so low. How long did your bleeding last after your chemical and how many weeks were you? I'm on day 4 of bleeding. I wish it would just go away, because it's really starting to bum me out

Well I was almost 13 weeks, it wasn't a chemical, the baby just died out of the blue at 10 weeks so I had to have a D&E, which is why I was concerned, I guess they really clear everything out if you go that route.
Anyways, i never spotted or cramped at all and had horrible MS it just came out of no where at my 12 week US (my first). If you look at my chart you can see when I bled - a few days, then again spotty a few days later off and on for about 2 weeks, oddly it appeared I O the day after the spotting stopped once and for all. Since yours is natural you might bleed more. Not to be TMI but after the first couple of day it was just brown blood, I wore a little liner and that was more than enough.

I took HPTs for a few weeks and I did not get my first BFN until after I ovulated. I couldn't believe it, and read up that women who get the HCG trigger shot also have hcg obviiously in their systems so it's more than possible. So don't think you'll O later, I Od earlier this cycle than normal for me last fall when we were TTCing. to you!!! I'm hoping this is both of our cycle!

I'm so sorry Michelle I can't imagine losing a baby just when you think you're out of the woods

I'm not bleeding heavily, but it's still clearly visible on a pad, and by now I'm usually just spotting, if that. At least everything's coming out, which is good, I guess. I take the trigger, but it's usually out of my system by 5 or 6 dpo. I haven't had the heart to take an HPT to see if it's negative. I'm assuming it will be since the blood test monday showed an HCG level of 6. This month, I do not have ANY HPTs. I have vowed not to test until 14 dpo. I just can't take the heartbreak if this month is a bust. More to everyone though. I'm having good feelings that many of us will be graduating this month

I had a loss at 13 weeks as well and my doctor told me I was good to try again whenever I felt ready...

The wait is more due to psychological healing than anything when its before a certain date.

Wait!!!
If her TSH is high, she is HYPOthyroid, not HYPER. She needs to raise thyroid hormone levels to lower TSH.

Other than that, I agree. Out of perfect, yes. High, nope. I also do not think it is related to the ovarian cyst, unless your body found the surgery really, really really stressful. A typical non-complicted laproscopic surgery should be fine.

i think it sounds like everyone could just use tons of hugs and love. to everyone that our luck will improve soon... sounds like things have been difficult for a lot of us!

just poking my head in. thinking of everyone. i am 4 dpo today, i think... there's been a lot of stuff going on, a lot of personal issues/family crisis stuff, so we were thinking of taking this cycle off, but instead we figured we wouldn't worry about it. i mean, look at the cycles where things were timed perfectly and still didn't happen, ya know? i did forget to take my vitex all cycle, so i ended up Oing CD25, so whoops. plus there's been so much stress at home, so that could have delayed it a bit too. but whatever, we'll see. it's been just about a year since we decided to go for #2! i'm feeling way more okay about it than i thought i would, but i've been focusing so much on my personal issues that i'm sort of just apathetic about TTC right now. for the most part. i am about to go overlay my chart with my pg chart.

love to you all. i'll try to poke my head in again when i can.

[lapis]

I also just wanted to let everyone know I'm reading and sending hugs and love your way!

afm. cd14 w/ some pink tinged ewcm... here's to hoping!

[enigo]

OK, remember how I was so positive a few days ago? Now I'm back to my regular ol' negative self. My fab EWCM dried up and no temp shift or +OPK.
I swear if this is another retarded month like last one.......What would cause that!!! ARgggggg!
How could anything possibly be wrong? I do all the right things! It just goes to show you, when they say to take this supplement or that, eat healthy, exercise, whatever it still doesn't help. I even frickin' quit coffee!
If this cycle doesn't work out. I am going to stop all supplements for a cycle and see what happens. Hell it can't hurt and it certainly doesn't seem to be helping.

[lapis]

enigo...I feel the same: I mean I didn't drink coffee (or caffeine for that matter) for ten years and drank red raspberry, red clover and nettle tea for like 4 years on daily/weekly basis. omega 3's, good amounts of vit D and A... a great diet and plenty of other trials with "fertility" foods and supps...

I started having coffee in the morning when we moved here and I have to say my ewcm is the same if not better than before... and its delicious... the coffee that is!

sorry you are feeling negativo. sending many hugs : )

[jessica_s]

I knew I was missing out, I forgot to sub to the March thread!! AH!

Sending LOTS of love and hugs out to you guys, thinking about you all and wishing a ton of sticky BFP's this cycle. You guys deserve some good. Really. It's about time universe.

Oh and Tear I got this BFP the cycle after I lost my job and last time I got pregnant with DS I had just quit my job to move up here so hey I hope some crazy timed BFP finds you too.

AFM - Still in limbo land guys, Thursday is the big appointment to check viability. Waa I'm a nervous wreck. I have symptoms, so that's good, I'm just not puking my guts out like I was with DS. I know I know you can't compare.

I'm reading and wishing and hoping for you guys.

I'm sorry finnegansmom... sometimes I think we should all swear off testing so early... (this from the woman who once tested at 6DPO... yeahhhright like that's gonna happen! )

Tear, I conceived William with a thyroid level of 3.something, so don't panic. Check out what Dr. Lee says about thyroid. It's been very helpful to me.

[enigo]

Very interesting article!

I know. I'm stupid and impatient. Iv'e tested at 6 DPO and have been sad when I got a BFN... i would love to join the no obsessers thread but I think my true obsessive personality might get me kicked out.

I think this month, I'll wait until 12 DPO. Which would be when my AF would start if I had another 11 day LP. Hmmm. Can I do that? If I had any intention of not testing before then how come I have 25 HPTs in my Amazon cart just waiting for check out?

[Tear78]

Thanks for the support, you guys. It was a pretty emotional couple of days, but I'm feeling better now. I decided to take the levothyroxine (or whatever it's called), which I guess I'm ok with except that I have to take it an hour before eating in the morning, which means I have to wake up earlier. No seriously, I just feel like, as I'm trying to stress and obsess less and less, it's not helpful to have a regimented routine of vitamins and hormones. Oh yeah, I can't take the vitamins within four hours of taking this. ugh...if it helps, then it's worth it, right? Thanks for the resources and the support!!!

jenger, let us know what you find out! Maybe we can be thyroid buddies together, they say it's an easy fix so maybe it would be good news for both of us?

Apricot, thanks for your knowledge! I really appreciate it. I also don't think it's cyst-related now. I asked my RE, and she said that it was 2.04 in october, and 2.6 in November, so it was already on the rise. That was helpful for me to think it wasn't cyst-related. It helped me accept taking the hormone instead of waiting to see what my body did. Maybe this will help me have more energy and lose this stupid "pregnancy weight" I've had for a year. A girl can dream, right?

oh, and November is when I found out about the cyst and started all the bloodwork and investigation, which was DEFINITELY really stressful for my body. That appears to be when the levels started rising, so maybe there's a link? Or maybe it's just normal winter hibernation instinct. I do live in cloud-land.

enigo, how freaking frustrating! I often have a day of EWCM, then a day off, then the real deal. I hope your body cranks back into gear for real soon!

jessica, thanks for checking in! I'm so hopeful for you on Thursday! Keep us posted!

Dawn, thanks for the article! I am getting my progesterone re-tested this cycle, so that's good timing. I was a little scared that taking this hormone could cause a see-saw effect, but we'll give it a try.

finnegansmom, I'm sorry hon. I was really hoping you were just having implantation bleeding. Here's to a new, successful cycle!!!

afm - CD6 and trying to stay mellow. I will not go crazy this cycle. Yeah, keep telling yourself that. I do have to say it's nice to have the BD ban lifted. TWO MONTHS...seriously folks. That was ridiculous.

[enigo]

Yeah I had like 3 days of really good EWCM and then it stopped a couple days ago. If I weren't charting or using OPK's, I would have thought I Oed.
I'm so over this ride.
Feeling old and infertile today.

We did get to the beach today though. DS is pretty damn good on his rollerblades (gets it from his awesome super rollerblading mom) after just once or twice on them. He's amazing

[finnegansmom]

Enigo. I'll be 39 in the fall. Sometimes I can hear my uterus creaking and crackling. If it looks anything like the bags and wrinkles under my eyes, I pity the thing. *sigh*

Tear ~ I hope this is your month. I'm glad things are looking up.

[Tear78]

Thanks, finnegansmom. btw, I keep meaning to ask: what does the smiley mean with the chicken and four chicks behind it.

enigo, girl, I declare you young and fertile! Go get some, lady!!! And btw, it is so so so sweet of your ovaries to wait for me. Oh, and the way your talk about your little boy just shows how much you love him. I bet you're an amazing mom. Just sayin'.

[finnegansmom]

Tear~ I guess I just think of myself as mama hen. Because I rule the roost. Ha. Not so much, but I thought it was cute. My husband and I want to get chickens but one of my dogs I think would have a problem with that. Like, he would have a problem not chasing them and most likely catching them. Yikes.

oh! cute! I've seen that smiley in lots of sigs, so I thought maybe there was something I was missing.
