Hi Ladies!

Just checking in before bed!

I went for hopefully my LAST blood draw this afternoon! My vein is so bruised on my left arm that the blood lady said she couldn't take it from that vein anymore until it had lots of time to heal. This is my crazy life since the D&C!

Have had LOTS of AF cramping since Monday....PMS pain to the max....but the bleeding hasn't picked up past a "medium" flow. Probably don't have much in there to shed anyways! Just wanting to get back to a normal woman!

Lots of great news being spread on this forum. Great chatter and questions....love it. So happy everyone seems to be in a good place this week.

Big hugs to my group of CTP buddies!

omg....

Levels are 13.8! Down 4.2 in seven days!

Repeat blood work aaaaaagain next Wednesday.....

11 weeks post D&C....good GRIEF!!

Melissa - YAY!! Getting closer to 0! I can't believe how long they have taken to come down!!

And I keep meaning to say welcome to According :)

And Kalie, I don't know much about temping and everything, but from everything I know about it I thought your temps looked good and I'm hoping for some good news from you soon! Hope that faint line is for real for you!!

Thank god tomorrow is Friday!! I'm ready for a weekend!

thanks for welcoming me... I've been struggling lately

According.....you can always come here to vent....no matter what the issue. It can be about fertility....life.....etc. This is what we are here for.

I agree!! My online friends I've met have been the one thing that's gotten me through the last 6 months! My friends don't understand what I'm going through because they either aren't moms themselves or they had magical pregnancies! Vent away! You've been through a lot and I'm sure it would help to have someone to talk with!

Yes! Please feel free to vent god knows I sure do lol even if no one pays attention lol at least I'm typing it out! No news here :( still not even close to positive opks :( watch I won't get a pos until the day before my ob appointment next thurs lol thats my good luck!!

Melissa glad to hear those levels are on their way down. I saw you posted a question about provera. I was on it to start my af last year. I had no problems with it and af started about two days after my last pill. So if I were you I'd rather give the provera a try over bc pills. At least the provera is just progesterone so it won't mess up the other hormones like bc will.

Lisa hows that tww going! Its funny how I wish I were in a tww then when I'm in it I can't wait for it to be over no matter the outcome lol

Michelle - I hope you get your positive opk soon! I used to think the 2ww was the worst, but now I think the worst time is the last week before +opk. I used to get my + so much earlier than I do now and every month I hope it's going to happen sooner but just get stressed and pissed off when it doesn't! This is finally the first month I didn't get angry when it didn't come sooner. Today is 5dpo... I really try to ignore any "symptom" I think I have. It's so frustrating to be convinced of being pregnant only to get AF. And the last time I was pg I didn't get any symptoms really. I was a lil bloated, but it wasn't til after my BFP that I felt anything. So... We'll see. I should have about a week before I can test. AF is due next Thursday, but last time I didn't get a + until a couple days after AF is due. Crossing my fingers though!

Hi Ladies!

I'm home half-day today as our little guy was up most of the night throwing up...took him to the pediatrician this morning...and thankfully it is just a stomach virus. The media has everyone so hyped up with this flu "epidemic" that it almost made me nervous last night! I'm not a huge believer in the flu shot....have never received one and I have been teaching for 9 years. Never had the flu. I'm just so nervous as to what they put in those shots....and would rather home pre-treat with lots of vitamin C, good hygiene and good health practices.

On another note....a second nurse called me this morning to tell me what the first nurse told me yesterday. I felt like asking if anyone communicates in that office?! But, I was on bluetooth hands-free in the car with my son on our way to the pediatrician this morning....or else I would have!

Michelle....so Provera is to help to get you bleeding again? Oh no no no....why on earth would my doctor want me to take that? I've been bleeding for exactly 11 weeks today....want to STOP! LOL. Good grief. I'm thinking maybe only the pill might help me....I definitely do not want to start bleeding more from the Provera.

In any event, I feel my right ovarian cyst acting up....hasn't acted up since before I got pregnant in August. Hoping that means my body is inching it's way back to normalcy. I feel like a damn broken record saying that all the time! It was confirmed from follicle measurement and corpus luteum observation that I ovulated from my right ovary....so....again....good signs.

Hope you ladies are having a good Friday.

What does everyone do for fun here? Hobbies? Anyone else a Vera Bradley addict??

Oh it will for sure stop it! Your body will be in post ovulation mode on it then once your pills are done and your hormone levels plummet your af will start up. Unless for some weird reaso you end up o ing on it lol then your af won't cause the progesteroe would be flowing from the baby :) I had no side effects from being on it either!
