Update on me

bubbly_1 · #1 (**permalink**) 03-30-2005, 06:57 PM

This morning I had absolutely no sxs. Then this evening

showed up. Sort of bummed out.

So now I am just wanting to see what my doctor says and finds at my appointment on April 7th. Right now I just can't wait to be at my appt. and I'm getting sort of nervous.

Crystal~ Thanks so much for leaving me a comment on my blog. I was really surprised to see that anyone had left me a comment. It made my day just to see that someone was checking on me.

I hope that you aren't too depressed.

sorry she showed hon. It could have been a very early Pg and the hcg wasnt high enough to read on your hpts. If you find this period is different from normal for you, then it could well have been.
Will you be moving your TTC date forward?

I'm thinking of you.

Sarah,

I had a similar experience in January (wound up with a 34 day cy as compared to my normal 20-something day cy). Although right now isn't a great time to be pg, I was pretty devastated when AF showed up. This whole TTC/waiting to TTC thing sucks, frankly, sometimes.

So far it is really different. I wasn't at home when I posted this thread, so I didn't have time to go to the bathroom and check more than once. This is what happened... sorry if TMI. Yesterday early evening when I wiped there was a blood clot, nothing on my panties only when I wiped. I decided to use a tampon, being that I wasn't at home and didn't really want to mess with it. Then when I got home about 4 hours later and the same thing this morning... the tampon just had a few blood clots and lots of brown cm. It's not a regular flow yet.

DH and I started talking about "actually" starting TTC. We haven't made a decision yet and still need to talk some more. The main reason why he doesn't want to is that he doesn't think that I can handle being pregnant and going to school and work. And he did meation the 3rd trimester as being the problem time. Knowing my body we just think that I might be on bed rest at some point during those last three months, and he doesn't want me to miss any classes and have my graduation pushed back even further.

I totally understand what he is saying... believe me I can't wait to graduate. So, we'll talk more about it and I'll get back to you.

Ren~ This is the funny part. My usual cy is 28/29 days, but the last 2 cy have been 30/31. So I usually am expecting to see her on CD 28, if she doesn't show that first day then I wait until CD 31. But this cy she showed on CD 28... that's just weird.

I think there might be somthing in the air

because my last cycle was like 31/32 days and usually I am 28/29 days. And I agree with you Ren, this really does suck soooo much sometimes

!

Sarah, when are you graduating and what are you receiving?

bubbly_1 · #6 (**permalink**) 03-31-2005, 09:23 AM

I'm graduating in May 2006. So I still have a year. Next semester will be the last semester I'm a full-time student. My last semester(Spring '06) I will hopefully only be taking 3-6 credit hours. So I will need a full-time job, then. I am a dual major, in (1) Computer Science & (2) Management Information Systems. So pretty much I am going to be doing some type of computer programming. I would like to go into the web site of the programming and design or into the database side. I'm also getting a minor in Business Administration.

Is anyone else going to school?

Sarah what's your appt for on April 7th? And why do you think you'll be on bed rest? I didn't think you were going to start TTC yet?

Sorry, I'm over here lurking from the Preparing to TTC boards and TTC Baby #1.

bubbly_1 · #9 (**permalink**) 03-31-2005, 08:23 PM

Jen... Glad to see you. I've seen you on the Prep to TTC board. Feel free to come on over here anytime.

My appt on the 7th is when I was going to start getting my immunizations that I need for our trip to Kenya. I think I need 7. I was just going to ask about all these sxs during that appt too. But I talked to my Mom tonight and she thinks it's a good idea if I call and talk to the nurse tomorrow, just in case they want me too come in earlier or anything else that she might have to say.

hmmm.... because I tend to be weak. I'm anemic and that's been a big factor most of my life. My doctor wants me to take 1000mg of iron a day. And that's alot... especially for someone who hates taking pills. If they were any bigger I would probably gag on them. Mainly it was just a thought that had ran through my head, because DH had meationed if I thought I could handle everything.

We aren't yet TTC. Yes I was still on BC patch, but sort of messed up this whole cy. I don't know if your familiar with the patch or not. Your suppose to change the patch once a week and it's always going to be on the same week day each week. Well this cy I just had a problem remembering to put the new one on, and by the time that I did remember it was about 1.5 - 2 days after my patch change day. With 2 days late you can get pregnant.

Wow! Sorry to ask so many questions Sarah, but thanks for answering. I had no idea that you might be preg since you never mentioned on the other board. Do you still think you might be???
I hope everything works about for you the way you want it to!

jdwantsababy · #11 (**permalink**) 04-01-2005, 08:32 AM

Sorry, I just read again that AF showed up. I'm crazy!! Please just disregard. I'm very sorry that she showed up. I remember last year when we weren't trying yet I still hoped that I would get pg. If we didn't use a condom (TMI) one time or something I would get my hopes up that we were pg. I would obsess about my possible sxs. I would get so let down when I found out that I was not. I know how tough it can be even when your aren't trying. I hope you'll get a BFP on your first month of trying in June!!!

Thanks Jen.

I talked to the nurse today and she made me an appt for Monday morning so that I could get checked out and see what happened. Today's CD 3 and I finally have a more regular flow, really heavy though.

But it is better than blood clots (TMI). I'll keep everyone posted about my appointment.

crystal4314 · #13 (**permalink**) 04-01-2005, 03:21 PM

I'm glad you'll be able to see the nurse

I found when I had my m/c the flow wasnt as heavy, but on the 2nd day I had a big clot (3 cm roughly in diameter) and some smaller ones after. Hopefully the nurse will be able to give you an idea if thats whats going on with you.

Will you change to using different bc?
