Auntie M -- we will SO be moving back to Texas as soon as he gets his diploma. I really miss my extended family and friends. I care for my mom full time so I have her here.... but to be brutally frank, she hasn't been the wonderful woman who raised me since her stroke in 2001. So... I will be so excited to move back home and see everyone again. We will move anywhere in his conference area that the heads of the church org wants us to... but we will ultimately be in Texas. Thank GOODNESS! ( I would sell my DH for a good chicken fried steak)
jlk -- have you tested yet?
Mel - still nervous? butterflies can be wonderful. I am praying for you.
As for me.. I was charting my temp today and I hit the wrong button and FF overlayed my cycle with the cycle we conceived Eli. They are almost identical. I cried for a while and then what I do when I am down. Baked cookies and deep cleaned the bathroom.
Hugs to all!

Klee- chicken fried steak is a southern realllllllly bad for you food. You take a cubed steak( steak thats been beten within an inch f its life) and dredge it in flour and fry it... serve it with cream gravy and mashed potatoes. Its the bestest ever. I can hear my arteries scream in clogged agony just typing it.

Gday ladies!!
How EXCITING JO!!!! When will you do your first test??
HAs Ellie tested yet??
CecE- Big hugs to you, i hope this is a good sign for this month. Fried steak!!! Have you tried fried chocolate?? We do it with Mars Bars here- but im not sure if you have those over there- they are a bit like Snickers but with out the nuts!! And they have caramel in them!! YUMM!!
Klee- i bet you are glowing beautifully!!
I ended up at the hospital last night. I was feeling a little weird and DH got worried because i was pale- he thought i might be heomoraging again. All good- i had lost a fair bit of blood(Heavy AF)- but not enough to be worried about. I am giong to the dr this afternoon to check a few things out. I might be low in iron too.
The nurse was a bit concerned about my week late-faint lines, level 9 ( hcg level) last month. I think she was concerned i had actually m/carried sort of. I will get a full exam and possibly a scan to check it is all ok. I may have just gotten an infection. I was putting last month down to me not implanting- so i doubt that there is anything still in there- as the prob was that it didn't implant so it wasn't really stuck there to begin with. KWIM? But its better to be safe then sorry. I sort of felt funny all month- hence why i wasn't trying too hard- i didn't want to get preg until i got AF again just in case.
Has anyone else had anything similar happen? Does anyone thik i may have really m/c?? Didn't want to beleive i was really preg enough to call it a mis carrage.

starbright-- I had something VERY similar the cycle before we conceived Eli. I had a ton ( ok 16) faint pos hpts. I went into my doc and my Hcg was at 12. I was told I had a subclinical M/C. Its what most people call a chemical pregnancy. The fertilized egg starts to implant and just doesnt succeed.. sometimes its a lining issue and sometimes its a chromosomal issue. A normal menstruating woman will have levels well under 5. Most will have levels under 2. Chemical pregnancies are often mistaken for a late period. I was only 4 days "late" when started bleeding. Thats one BIG reason I don't like to test early... ignorance would have been bliss. That being said, I know I will test too early this cycle too. Some women can't be taught... and that woman is me.
I would ask your doc if baby asprin would help with implantation at all. I know a lot of women who got their bfp's the cycle they started the baby asprin (myself included). Also with 3 losses... I think a thrombosis panel would be warranted. I found out that the baby asprin helped Eli to implant but I didn't realize (nor did my docs) that I had some more serious clotting issues that ultimately led to Eli's death. SO now I am on heparin shots for my days DPO. Worth looking into for everyone who has unexplained losses, IMO.
Best of luck hun! I'll be praying for ya.

Well, yeah i have anticardio lipin antibodies and i was on the aspirin for about 3 months prior to giong off the pill and then i was taking it right up until last month. After what happened there- i went back to my Specialists instructions to wait until i get preg before starting to take the aspirin as i needed to clot a little bit for implantation. My ACa levels were really low last time i checked (last month while late) and i will be getting them checked again today. I stopped taking the asprirn coz i thought thats what made it not happen for me last month. I am thinking about still maybe taking it when AF is here- just for safety reasons. TMI WARNING My AF is really clotty, i pass them when i pee and they are about the size of a 10 or 20 cents peice (cece/auntie m- probly more like a quarter from memory) WAY TMI WARNING but i can feel them sort of sitting just inside me if you know what i mean- and then when i go to the toilet they fall out. my dr has told me about hepporon, but that we will have to wait and see if i have troubles in the first 12 weeks first. I would think maybe that was the case- but that my ACa levels were down, so it rules out that being the cause.
I am so confused- no wonder shane doesn't want to know any of this- its all going around in circles and i have no definate answers- and we all know how much males hate wishy washy stuff with no answers!! LOL
WHERE IS DR MEL??????????
BellyBelly Member
sb - i have no answers, but i think its best to get checked out thoroughly, like i said when i pm'd you, its only going to benefit you in the long run. I guess the only other thing to remember is that every af is different, but then saying that my accupuncturist said you should never pass clots, but i can't say i've ever had one where i haven't. as for dh, unfortunately thats men for us, but you know we are all here for you if you ever need to chat, and for all the gory details.
cece - wow that does sound artery clogging doesn't it, don't eat red meat myself but df would think that was heaven.
how bad is this, I'm blaming the hormones for this, i just went down to get some lunch, and as i was waiting 2 pg ladies walked past me, as i looked out the window another lady started rubbing one of their bellies, right there and then i nearly hurled, i wouldn't wish their bubbas any illharm it was just a timing issue.
