I'm so confused. I will ask the FS when I see him tomorrow. I was hoping today was CD2 so that I could get moving with the next IUI, and I need to start taking femara...
Have you had bleeding for a misc already?
When I m/c at 5 wks, I had heavy bledding and cramps for 3 days then longer than normal bleeding ( maybe a week), I can't remember what my next AF was like though, I think it was either normal or lighter??
How manyweeks has it been since your loss?
Sorry AF is being mean to you
I started spotting 4 days ago (for 2 days), followed by 2 days of heavy bleeding with clots. This is the mc. I was just wondering if it was the mc AND AF? If that makes sense? I need to start femara CD3.
hmm yeah thats confusing, I guess it isn't AF ( but its sort of same thing) but you would probably still start the tablets on CD3 ( CD1 being the day of red bleeding), maybe check with your Dr if you can? Don't know if they are receptive to phonecalls. Sorry to ask so many details, also I'm chasing you around BB, just replied to another thread of yours in MC/loss section xx
Saffy- I got told a great way to treat thrush naturally. Rinse (up there!) 2x a day for 3 days with 1/4 white vinegar 3/4 water that kills off the bad bacteria then pop an inner health plus up there to replace the good bacteria, works brilliantly. Sometimes if I think I'm getting it I use the inner health plus straight away and it seems to stop it. I hope it is all fixed up now anyway.
Maruschke - Sorry I have no idea about AF and MC dates. I know after my early losses I considered the bleed my AF but my last 2 mc were D & C's I think my first AF after was quite light.
Crafty - Glad you are still with us babe we miss you.
AFM - I had my scan and even though my AF was light it all looked fine. My bloods from last cycle were also perfect. I was a bit disappointed that FS's response to anything now seems to be "well things change with age". Maybe I am being more sensitive now I'm 40 but he never used to mention my age much at all before so it feels like 2 months ago it was fine but now its an issue. I understand that fertility drops but its not like it happens on your birthday surely! Anyway I am still totally wrapped in my new donor and he and his partner are coming for dinner on tuesday. I will discuss it with him but I think we should do 3 months on our own and if no joy we should go to the new FS that I have a referral for and pretend to be a couple and go straight into IUI because I had lots of success with that before. We can't do it with my current FS as it would be considered donor sperm and we'd have to freeze it for 6 months and use it from frozen! Lets hope there's no need for any of that though, come on my sl**ty eggs get partying
Crafty - Just found a great site. I can't post the page cos I got in trouble for that once but if you google 'pregnancy stories by age' and choose the top one you'll get it. Lots of success stories of women 43+
sunbeam I found the site not sure which story you mean but wow there are lots and lots of stories on there,Thanks mate I really appreciate you thinking of me ! and I have already had 2 since being 40 so there is hope for you I know there is just think positive and enjoy getting to know your new donor. I wanted to ask a personel question if you don't mind when you inseminate at home what do you use ? as I am thinking of Trying it myself to make sure the sperms get to the right place iykwim sorry if I offend ! I was so down yesterday as I did a poas and got a BFN of course but I still have sore BBs and feel nauseas so I have no idea what my body is up to and sometimes I just feel so damn fed up with it all and I know that doesn't help but you know how that feels to still be trying after all this time and some of the girls already had babies are now on to number 2 makes you realize just how long we been in here TOO LONG !!!!
Thanks saffy I know you understand and I know I am on here with kids already but that empty feeling after your D&C is just so hard to live with when you see plenty of girls come and go in these threads and most of them end up with a baby at the end of the line just wish it was the same for all of us we have all suffered a loss god works in misterious ways I guess some just have to work that much harder at it the end result I mean, Thanks for the comment about basting lol seems rediculous really but when your desperate you try anything well nearly anything
Thanks for being there girls your always here to bring me back down to earth and know I am not alone on this road of TTC after mc
My DH has begged me to go to the Drs for a check up just to see if there is anything can be done for my hormones ie the mood swings and maybe regular ovulation I know I am cluctching at straws here but its only hormones right they can turn a man into a women with hormones so surely they can help a women whos 46 acheive regular ovulation with the few eggs shes got left and maybe get back to a regular 29day cycle instead of 40 odd days !
Hi Crafty I'm so sorry you got a BFN. I'm not offended at all sweetie (in fact I'm about the least offendable person you'll ever know! ) I use a 5 mil syringe with a catheter on the end. I got the syringe from the chemist like the one you use to measure baby medicine etc. and the catheter from FS it's like the one he uses for IUI it just helps me get the sperm as close as pos to my cervix (never through the cervix). I can give you a few more details but might PM you those as they might be TMI! I also use pre seed to help give them a bit more sperm friendly fluid to swim in and help the catheter slide in easier.
As for other things you can do. I swear by my vitex but that had bad affects for you so maybe a naturopath might have a different option to balance your hormones. I also ordered on the net some DHEA which is supposed to help the viability of older eggs, haven't tried it yet but figured it can't hurt. The only other thing I have noticed is that this year I have been quite strict with my diet and exercise and so far, for the first year in 5 years of charting, I have not had one single cycle where I have not o'ed! That is pretty impressive given that 3,4,5 years ago I was having 4-5 anovulatory cycles per year. The diet, bit of weight loss and regular exercise have definitely been key in this for me.
I know it is depressing and I know none of us has anyway of knowing if it'll ever happen but we will cling to hope and the inspiration that it does happen to other women.
We had a terrible one, our little man (Frank, a cat) has been diagnosed with renal failure, it is a terminal disease, he is only 4 yo!! We are shattered, he is mummy's baby and is my source of support during lttc/ivf, I don't know how I will say goodbye to him when I have to
Sorry about the 'me' post but I can't even think about doing a cycle/ttc now, i cannot believe this has happened exactly 3 wks after I had a miscarriage, the universe needs to give a girl a break for god's sake!!!!
