TTC After a Loss

*****Friday Crazy Train*****

This is a thread posted daily for any of us who need to get out our frustrations about waiting to O, the 2WW, or vent about our cycles. If you find yourself checking FF obsessively, MF is getting the best of you, or you just want to pee on all things, let it out here!

In order for the conductors to be better able to help you, please make sure you either have a FF chart link in your sig, or make sure you post a link. Don't chart? You should consider it, not only will it give you a lot more insight to your cycles, but conductors will be able to answer a lot of your questions just by looking at your chart!

The CT is not the place to post a BFP. If you have a "squinter" or if you have a line that appeared after the time frame, please do not post about it here.  Take a step back from the board, test again with FMU, and good luck!

  • Crazy level from 1-10: 8

    CD/DPO: 6 or 7 DPO

    Can I just ______ already?!: Either get my period or have this spotting stop

    Signs/Symptoms: I had a great timed cycle this month with ovulation confirmed with OPK and temp rise ... now 7 DPO I've got red spotting. I'm hoping this isn't a luteal phase defect, as I haven't had those before, but who knows what my body wants to do after this loss.

    Explain your Crazy here:
    I normally have 12 day luteal phases, so this is throwing me. No cramps, no temp dip like you sometimes see before AF shows up. ... Ugh ... I just want to know what's going on. I was really hoping that I'd get KU this first cycle we were trying after our loss, which I know is probably wishful thinking as it took a year after the first loss. Somedays I just hate my body.
    BFP 3/30/13, MMC and D&C 4/19/13
    BFP 4/8/14, MMC 5/5/14, D&C 5/9/14
    BFP 8/26/14 Due date 5/8/15

    It seems really early for AF, so hopefully it is just random spotting.  It seems like a lot of people get random post-O spotting, so hopefully that's all it is.  And hopefully it stops soon!

  • @laramona09 thank you... Unfortunately this looks like CD1 for me. It picked up after a nap and now it's bright red and heavier. Not sure what to make of having a 6-7 day luteal phase. I guess it's on to the next cycle.

    (((hugs))) I'm sorry AF came so early. Hopefully it's just one wonky cycle and next cycle is more normal

  • LaRomana09 Thank you. Now I'm having no idea what to do ... it never picked up much after I posted and remained more like spotting. It's mostly brown with a little bit of bright red. I took my temp this morning and it's continuing to climb (whereas normally it goes down the day before AF shows) so I changed my chart back to be 7 DPO. Now I'm just waiting and seeing. My first loss, I had what I thought at the time was a very light period about seven days before I got my BFP which lasted for about 3 days ... I only tested that time because when thinking back on it, it seemed like an odd period and I had other symptoms that made me question it. I'm not hopeful that this is that ... like I've said before, I just don't feel like I'd be lucky enough to catch the egg my first month trying after this loss. Thank you for chart stalking me :)
