DH has strep throat + AF TMI

RunSchwartzRun · October 2010

He went to urgent care last night with a fever of 102. On one hand, I am just glad that it isn't FWP/IUI time. On the other hand, I am convinced I will get it at FWP/IUI time. On the third hand, why are men such babies?

In other news, I am calling today CD1/2. Only 1/2 because am bleeding red blood, but it only come out every now and then. If I wear a tampon, it is mostly brown, but if I don't wear one I will get a "surprise" pool of red blood about every 5-7 hours (it was sort of like this yesterday too.) I freaking hate trying to figure this out. Why can't I be normal?!

I feel your pain on the cycle problems. Also I agree men are big babies.

Extra Vitamin C to ward off the strep. (In my best mom voice I can muster)

Isn't the rule of thumb that if you need a pad or tampon then it is considered CD1? That probably doesn't help though...

I'm sorry DH is sick! Men can definitely be babies.

I'm having similar problems with defining CD 1. Mostly brown, but then I occasionally notice red when I wipe. Was thinking about posting about whether or not this is CD1. Erg! Why can't our bodies behave?

Yeah, and that is what the RE keeps telling me, but DUDE, I need it but only because I don't know when that one "surprise" will hit. Like 85% of the day I don't need one. Stupid AF.

I think I may call tomorrow CD1 if I am still bleeding because the drugs can be started anywhere between CD3-CD5. I guess I would rather start at CD4 or 5 than be early.

Sorry, I know no one cares about my stupid AF diagnostic problems.

We do care, not that I know what cycle day one of a normal cycle looks like.

Thanks. Yeah, I don't know either. I failed to mention that this is all after I have been spotting since last Wednesday. So you know, since I have been "active" in some way for 6 days, but no true flow, it is getting pretty annoying.

I understand all to well the frustrations of things not being "normal". I wasn't "normal" before the loss and was holding out hope that things would be different, but no such luck. Sorry, I know it sucks and I wish I was of more help. Like PP said, we do care and we feel badly for your frustrations.
