Tiger: I tried writting you a note, but it said you were not accepting messages......I hope everything is alright.

I just wanted to share that my miscarriage bleeding has finally come to an end. I am so glad and can now move one step closer to AF. Strange how I can be excited for such a thing.

Tiger, Some doctors are so useless, it frustrates me to no end !! I know your feeling scared, but try and remember that some people have spotting throughout their pregnancy. I'm not sure what your last miscarriage was like, but try and rest. Call your doctors office and tell them what happened, maybe they will send you to get more blood work done to see if the hcg is increasing or decreasing. Good Luck and remember that we're here to help :)

Help! Have had lots of brown discharge and cramps today. Went to dr and they sent me to emergency. ER made me feel like a dickhead. i saw a young doctor that didn't speak much English. i told her about my cramping, dizziness and brown discharge and she "i do ultrasound to check if baby ok". I questioned her about how it is too early to see and she said "oh, yes maybe. you just go home then". I feel really confused. I just wanted someone to talk to and see what was going on given my history. I'm scared.

Bam how is everything going?

Hey steph I used to work for a chiropractor and one of the pts that came in actually did accupuncture and said it's great for fertility and reproductive issues. I left Bam a comment on here about it!

Dani I'm hanging in there barely. My nerves are shot and I can't sleep at night. I have myself worried sick I'm going to have anothe m/c. Thanks for the support!

Gmb how are you doing and feeling?

If I missed anyone sorry I'm not having the best of days. Lots of luck ladies.....

Tiger How did the bloodwork results work out?

Hi everyone, got my results back and i'm really not happy. It turns out the the doctor i saw did not test for my level of HCG, just if it was present in my blood. Well i know it is present, i did a hpt!!! I'm so annoyed because i couldn't get into my regular doctor until late next week so i thought i'd just see someone else. She was rude, hurried me in and out which took less than five minutes. I think i'm going to write a letter of complaint.
All my other blood work came back good e.g. iron, cholesterol etc
So i don't feel any easier about the whole and just have to pray i make through till the 3rd of December when i see my gyno again.
I know the best thing to do is relax but it's hard!

BAM: I hope the preseed has done it's job. Praying for you.
GMB: Good luck. I hope you get BFP in a few days
Kgokgo: Good luck with getting your tonsils out.
Popcorn: Welcome to our thread.
Dani: When are you going to test again?
Leah: I'm glad your dr is taking such good care of you. It will feel really good when it's all over and you can concentrate on TTC.
Yogachick: happy BDing! hope this month is lucky for you.

Everyone: Please remember that if you don't hear from me in a while, it's becuase of the time difference!!! I sometimes feel behind the eight ball.

I have a Dr apt. the first week of January, so if AF hasn't returned by then I guess I'll find out what to do then.
My plans are very hopeful, but I hope I'm not setting myself up for disapointment. As soon as my first AF arrives we will try on my O of that cycle, so hopefuly well be doing the BD around xmas.
Thanks to all for the babydust and encouraging words!

Consider yourself added to the list.

Yes, I'll start a new post soon, but honestly it probably won't be until this weekend.  If anybody else wants to, please feel free :)  I'm super busy at work so I won't be around much for a while.

I got a +OPK yesterday, but wouldn't you know it, DH was tired and went to bed super early :(  Oh well, there is still tonight.

SSBD to everybody and sorry I don't have time to leave more individual comments . . .

For the abbreviations we use, if you scroll down and look to the right of the page(once you get out of is thread, scroll down) there is a box that says MOST VIEWED HEALTH PAGES(i think) and click on the one that says most commonly use acronyms

Sorry for your loss.

Most doctors say it takes 4-8weeks for your AF to return.  I have met women on here who said it took them 90 days, every woman body is different.  If your cycle dont return in 8 weeks you might want to call your doctor to let them no.  Also, you AF returns after your hcg levels have returned to zero, most drs monitor your levels once a week.  I had blood drawn once a week until i got to 5 which is also considered a non-pregnant state

I had a missed m/c in june, i was suppose to be 10w 3days but u/s showed i was 10w 1day.  I new something was wrong the day i woke up so i went to er to have u/s and there was no cardiac activity.

Unless you actually get the tissue tested from the fetus, the only answers doctors will say is that it must of been abnormal chromosones.  Which i assume they got that from research, when they do test women, the majority of reasons are abnormal chromsones.  I was a little upset that i didnt have the fetus tested, it s-ucks to really not no the true reason.  Even if it was a chromosone problem, i wouldve liked to still no.

Like you, i had plans for my baby too, i wouldve been having my baby shower thanksgiving weekend being my granny visits from california every thanksgiving and all the family would be here.  I was so looking forward to having the baby in jan 5th.  I have been ttc since august(got first cycle 34 days after d&c) and nothing yet.

Welcome aboard, so what are your plans?

Yes Omg I had to call on Fri and speak to the dr on call cause the cramps were so intense. I was in panic mode. I had blood work the day before numbers were fine had them taken again on monday and they went up four hundred points. I'm now having cramps every tine I need to pee. I looked at my hpt I took last week and my line wasn't wicked dark. Please don't panic you will be okay! I'm prolly cramping from getting so big so fast. I look like I'm 5 mos and I'm only 5 weeks. Yikes. Were you crampy when you had periods I had them so bad I had to take motrin 800. I'm really not suprised I'm having cramping!! Good luck my friend with your blood work. Let me know I will be thinking about you!!!!!

Welcome! This is a whonderful community all of the women on here are great and all very supportive and warm and very welcoming. Bam is the commander in chief on the cycle buddies so I'm sure when she reads your info she will add you. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I too had a M/C naturally though back in sept so for me this forum really helped me at a time where I was so desperate for closure. We all have something in common on here that is dealing with the pain of M/C and the desire to have a child.
Best of luck to you and lots of Baby dust too!!!!

Ps If you go to google and type in conception abbrevs you can find them!!!

Hello! I would like to join in on this journey to motherhood with all of you if that's alright?

I read all of the posts and it was so interesting getting to kinda know what you are all going through. I had a d & c last week on Nov 13th and I still have on and off again bleeding. I am so anxious for it to stop and for me to get my real AF!  I was not told what caused the missed miscarriage and was wondering if any of you were told what the problem was for you? Mine seemed to stop growing at 6-7 weeks and I only found out at 11 weeks. I feel as though I have wasted time b/c I had visions of me and my hubby and the baby in the summer and now who knows....

How long have you had to wait before getting your first AF after the miscarriage?

Can someone tell me where I can find all of these abreviations everyone is using again pls?

Everyone: I did another HPT this morning 13dpo with a different brand and it was too a faint colour. I really hope it is too early to be dark and it's not signs for miscarriage or chemical pregnancy. I should get the result of my blood work in eight hours!

Dani - dpo is very early! stay positive and might get BFP soon. I tested at 12dpo and got very light.

Steph & Bamm: the cycle of mine before this one was 77 days long. I have been seeing a chinese medicine acupunturist and for the first time in my life, this cycle i had clear temps and consistent cm and i even got my first positive opk. so i think he has really helped me. You should try it out!

Armyprincess - did you get cramps in early pregnancy? I have funny (not hurtful) cramping now and the. is it normal?

Thanks Dani, I'm trying. I have been cleaning like crazy all day trying to keep myself busy. I come check on here every couple of hours and then get back to work :) I used all of my tests up and DH got called into work a little bit ago. So I won't be testing tomorrow, because DH has the car seat and my mom has our other one.
This is definatly the longest post I've ever seen!
