Sue, given your experience it's understandable that you'd expect the worst. I looked at your chart though and I don't think that anything there's that different to mine was, I had spotting at 8, 10 and 11 DPO (and I had a BFP at 10DPO) and a temperature drop before a slow climb back to high levels. Anyway, as always it's just a wait and see game but I guess it's great you can get pregnant, I thought you had to use IVF?
Oh, Sue. I know it's hard to be positive. The rest of us are generating all the hope that you say you don't have. Just like you guys seem to have more positive thoughts about my bubs sometimes than what I can muster myself.
I'd say "try not to worry about the spotting," but I know it's impossible. But if we choose to believe the 10 or 12 doctors I've met both this and last pregnancy, I could spot all the time and they wouldn't be concerned. I've had two bright red gushes of blood in the last two weeks (I would have filled up a pad if I'd been lucky enough to be wearing one) and they're still very "You have a hematoma. It happens, and we're not worried, so you shouldn't be." I'm starting to believe them because I'm starting to realize that there is no benefit to me in not believing them. Plus, every page I've read on the net seems to agree with them.
We'll be here to hold you up, and we'll try not to get too jump-up-and-down excited yet. I understand that you're wary of that; DH and I still are as well. Let us know what doc says.
Work has been so busy, I'm having trouble keeping up with BB. I know, how dare they interfere with my BB time! I'm seriously addicted to you guys. Sometimes I sit there and think about one of you, especially if you're having a scare or you just got a BFP. It's amazing that I've never met any of you but I feel like I know you so well.
Katie, have you heard from Jo at all?
Sue, I know you were seeing a naturopath, have you considered acupuncture? I see one (as you probably remember) but reading the literature on the practice, it seems that acupuncture is good for tweaking things. I thought it may be effective for your spotting.
Roz, before I went back to work, my boss sent an email around to everyone on my floor and people I usually talk to interstate to let them know that I was coming back, what my circumstances were, and to expect that I may want to cry, or not talk etc. That really helped me. Is there anyone who can do that for you?
Hugs to everyone - hey Roz and Tildy, one more week and you're into double digits on your ticker!
BTW, is anyone on Facebook? I recently joined that 21st century and got an account.
Rozzie - I think I have just friend requested you...at least I hope it is you! Otherwise some poor Roslyn will get a message saying 'Hi Katiegirl here'.
