...and it was way positive. I was hoping for a faint line but nope, it was big, bright, and nearly instantaneous. I think I'll limit myself to 1 a week (I bought a 50-pack of cheapies). I hope this doesn't mean AF is going to be awhile.

Re: 1 week after D&E, I poas...
I just got a test to finally say negative about 4 days ago I think....
I have a feeling it will be closer to 6 weeks for me. I've been POAOPKs for 2 weeks now and nothing...
I never held you, but I always loved you.

BFP #3 via cancelled IUI ~ C (2lb 3oz; HELLP) 5/16/11
BFP #4 via the natural (free!) way ~ E (8lb 11oz) 9/13/12
Oh yes, I've had my f/u...and my dr said to stop peeing on stuff. But I can't help myself
18 days...I think I can handle that. My DH and I are going to New Orleans next week for a conference, so I'll have something to occupy my time. My follow-up is scheduled for the 16th, when we get back.
On the plus side, I've lost about 5 pounds and am barely spotting now. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy the physical part has been. I'm still very sad, but at least my body isn't causing me angst.
Hmmm now you ladies have me curious. Should I be POAS as well?? I don't want to feel left out lol. Does getting a negative or positive tell you when AF should arrive? I'm so clueless with all of this. When I was given my discharge instructions I was still pretty out of it and don't remember anything. For instance, my follow up isn't until 6 weeks after my discharge date (June 22nd) and that seems like waaaay too long. I had pretty much no pain after the delivery and the D&C. Slight cramping every now and then that was more like a sharp pain for literally a few seconds and then it went away. Ahhh all of this is just too much! I had a horrible day yesterday and tonight I get this stupid comment on FB from my husbands aunt saying : Bobbie, Why can't you trust in God and start looking for the good in life instead of always dwelling on the bad, do you ever have a good day ? maybe some counseling would help !!
Are you frickin kidding me??? I sooo want to tell her to bite my a**. But, like always, my mom took care of it. It hasn't even been 3 weeks yet. I delivered a perfectly healthy baby girl that died because my body couldn't handle it. I have to live with that every day for the rest of my life. I'm standing on my moms porch screaming and asking my husband if everyone thinks I'm a nut case. You know what his reply was? "I think we better go home." As if going home makes everything so much easier to deal with. Yeah, not so much.
Sorry ladies, just had to vent.
Oh soldierswife, (first of all I am not a weirdo freak stalker person *disclaimer) sometimes I read your posts and think "oh we could be such great friends"..haha..I couldnt help but giggle at your "bite her in the a**" comment..but seriously who says things like"stop dwelling on the bad, and find the positive" um I'm all for finding the positive but you're going to need a lot of medication to really find alot of positive with most of our situations right now but anyway continuing on A. a facebook post its personal business has she no sense? sometimes I don't think people understand the internet is for everyone to see..even if it was a private message, just not something you facebook..a book needs to come out that is mandatory reading..that has the do's and don'ts of internet messages.. B. is she the freaking emotion police? she gets to decide what everyone can be emotional about and for how long..seriously lady?..I feel for you. Sometimes I wish you could do that thing where you could freeze time, hit them..unfreeze time..than watch them wonder why their face hurts..lol. Hope I don't come off too nuts..I just seem to be unable to sleep and I'm hunting for things to keep my mind occupied.
Luckily I am too cheap to spend money on sticks. I haven't even thought of doing this. It has been 2 weeks and 1 day. I am just relieved my boobs are back to normal!! (be happy if you didn't experience the whole milk thing--that was TORTUROUS!)
Toshbosh,
You are not a stalker
) And I'd be happy to be your friend!
