TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ July 08 #7

**RachelSwirl** · July 28th, 2008, 12:06 AM

I'm quite upset because its getting heavier, its red now rather than a brown smear... (sorry tmi). I just dont get it as my test looked pretty darn positive for past two days. However I have started to figure something out... as you can see I usually have a 29 day cycle. I know from all my cycles on day 12 DPO its always when I start to bleed... even if I ovulate on day 16... itll be day 12 DPO I bleed...

So this cycle I ovulate on day 12!?!? (so early for me!)... and I bleed on day 24... so thats 12 dpo AGAIN...

I am wondering whether my Luteal phase is short and if I need progestorone shots? Perhaps, I'm going to dicuss it with my obgyn next week when I go in for a lap and dye.

One thing is for sure, I am fed up, depressed and now I know that I think I am conceiving but having a lot of chemical pregnancies...
There is something not right.

Easha--Sorry I missed you last night, we were posting at the same time! I was already on my way to bed, so didn't get to respond until this am. I hope the B6 helps you out this cycle...maybe all along all you've needed was a longer LP! My fingers are crossed that you'll notice an earlier O this time around. My fertile window usually begins on about CD10, don't know if it has to do with the B6 or if it's just when I happen to fall naturally fertile--and I wasn't charting before I started the B6, so I don't even know how effective it's actually been for me! I'm a great help, aren't I?

Make sure you get all your questions answered--and use your best assertive voice--at your gyno appt! Good luck!

tutmae--OMG, have you seen that movie with John Cusack called....damn, can't think of the name....gotta google it real quick.... Oh yeah, "Identity" Have you seen that one? That movie had me guessing all the way to the end! It was awesome! He is a cutie--I like his eyes! Am waiting for your next temp!

Krystie--Yeah, it's great knowing my posse has my back!

But I'm beginning to get anxious now, so I may have to cave and buy a test today! Get all you girls off my back!

Thanks for the PM... *drooling* So Drew wants me to POAS, huh?

Good luck with O, I'm keeping an eye on your temps!

like crazy, girl!!

I'll do my AFM real quick to catch everyone up.... Not sure what's going on with my temp this am.... when I was taking my temp I kept thinking that I didn't have it in the right spot in my mouth, and it's really dark in my room, so I can't see what it says until I'm already up. So I go to the loo, check out the temp, and it's 98.11 (eek) But I truly think I didn't have it in the right spot, so I take it again real quick...98.22... so I'm still peeing at this time (lol I had to go BAD!) so then I take it again after like 30 seconds...98.34! Hmmm... took it again, and can't remember what it was, cuz it was early, and I was peeing so I wasn't writing the numbers down, and I have terrible short-term memory loss!

So now I've walked out to the kitchen, sat at the computer, take it again....98.00, so it's finally coming down as I'm moving around more. So I just kinda entered an average of 98.28, which is the same as yesterday, but it doesn't help me in determining if I should test or not! What if the first temp was right at 98.11 and it's starting to come down? But honestly, I remember thinking while I was temping that it wasn't in the right spot....and didn't want to move it around while I was taking my temp, cuz I didn't know if that would ruin it! Soooooo..... Grrrr! I think I may have to buy a test today--and with my luck, it'll be a BFN and AF will be there as soon as I wipe! That's typically how it goes.... but I'm not really expecting a BFP, so I won't be too disappointed--besides, I'm waiting for Angel! (

Angel!)

joey's ghost--Hope you enjoyed your family picnic! Thanks for updating your chart--makes it much easier for us stalker-types to keep up-to-date!

Ruthie--Oooh, cute ticker! How exciting!

Van--Grrr, I specifically told AF to stay away from my cycle buddy! Have you begun pushing her out yet?

The BD getaway sounds like just what you need--it worked great for tina!! I'm holding you to that raincheck for chatting!

Rachel--Aww, hon....you sound really down.

Sorry to hear about the spotting

Have you tried taking B6 to help lengthen your LP? There's some in my Prenatal vitamins, but I also take an extra 100 mg. Do you use FF to chart your cycle, there's no link in your sig, so was just wondering if you're charting and temping. If not, maybe you could try that this next cycle...sounds like you know your body pretty well, but have you actually charted your cycles and compared them on a graph? Good luck, hon, keep us posted.... sending lots of

your way!

Jen: I'd test today! That temp is looking pretty good and your chart looks lovely! Go for it! NOW! :P

Rachel: Aw hon. Don't panic just yet. I had a similar thing when I was pg with Lilah. Doctor was sure I'd miscarried, but there she was! When's your doc appt again?

Jen805: Thanks hun.

Rachelswirl:... based on my experiences.. I know this is the last thing you want to hear.. but it looks like you are having an early m/c.

Oh I know that pain... I know how you feel all too well.
When you see your doc ask for a blood test to see how much your HCG levels have dropped, or in a very awesome case.. maybe you are having what I did with Erick. It was red.. just no clots.. just stupid red blood. Like a normal AF.
I really know how you feel.. please don't lose hope.. I didn't hun.. it took me two freaking years from my last m/c to be where I am right now.. and every month that passed and I got BFNs or got AF? (rarely) I wish you knew how my poor heart was torn every single bloody month!!!
I hope your doc give you answers. Please... don;t give up! It's very beautiful what we are all doing.. TTC a miracle!
please.. I know you feel in the pits.... hang in there... I will pray you have your miracle ASAP!!
