Ladies, I have an anouncment!!!!

Ladies, I am please to announce the arrival of.... AF!!!!!! Hallelujah!!!!! I have never in my life been in so much pain and been happy it ended up being because of AF. I had the worst night to the point that I was going to ask DH take me to the hospital. I was sitting on the loo around 3am and nearly passed out with the pain but at that point AF hadn't even arrived yet. She didn't show until just before I had to walk the kids to the bus stop. another waist of a HPT... oh well!
I am still in a lot of pain but am not stressed about what is causing it. the nurse yesterday said that it is common to feel a lot of pain with AF after a D&C but my concern was having the pain with no AF.
at least it isn't my cervix closed again... oh the joy that brings me!!!!!
So now I can say for sure that I am now on CD1..... he he. bring on the OPK and the pree-seed... oh and now I can take the EPO... woo hoo!!!!
this is the first time since the M/C that i feel like I am really on my way back to normal and TTC.

you can vent when ever you want and don't ever say sorry for doing it! We all understand the frustration and the need to vent is important so we can keep sane!
if you ovulated CD17 then it may be too early to show up on a HPT. I would give it a few more days, then if no AF test again. if AF signs are gone and still no AF then that may be a good sign.. fingers crossed!
I feel frustrated for you right now! I wish there was a pill that we could pop that would take the frustration and anxiety from waiting away!!!!

I was taking low estronal I think it was like orthotricyclin low. My dr said as soon as I stopped taking it to go for it. I got preg the first time one month off the pill but maybe since I was on so much it still is messed up. I did ovulate but it was really late around cd17. I may test again in the morning cause all signs of AF are gone but I'm only at 14dpo I'm really torn I am so convienced I'm preg but I'm preparing for the worst I hate this. My TWW is pushing three that is so wrong. Sorry I had to vent.

after a trauma like having a M/C your body can do some stupid like not get back to normal as fast as you would like it. what oral contraceptive did you use? how long did they say it would take to get out of your system when you stopped taking it? I think that is why it took me so long to get pregnant in the first place because of it getting out of my system. I am hoping now that i finally got AF it wont take as long.

my pain is better now I just have a horrible headache. My m/c was July 15 but my cycle was messed up afterward so sept I was on a double dose of oral contraceptives so oct was my first cycle. I started oct 9 so I think I'm at cd30 today and 13dpo. I'm convinced something is wrong cause I've never had a cycle over 30 days but wed got a BFN.

yeah, I told him...I am not sure the preseed will get here on time.  I just got an email that said my expidited shipping could take 1-5 days because of where I live...I paid the extra for it because it said it generally takes 1 day, two at the most...but I guess that is not the case, for some reason south east Idaho is marked on all shipping maps as taking longer.
I guess I will have to wait and see, and it doesn't get here, my O is during the weekend I think which makes much easier for fun BD :)
and yeah, the idea of the $ store tests makes me so much more excited for the TWW.  i don't know about you, but as much as I hate the BFN, I would rather POAS and know!

I would love to go through it with you and the others!
Ill have to look at the $ store here now! DH would be happy to get more out of our money.
I would be starting now if O is due in a few days! how is DH feeling? does he know its getting close to the big O day?

The $ store tests test at 25!  Steph told me about them.  I also heard they may have two different kinds, one for 4$ and the reg. $ ones which test the lowest!!  Yippie!  They say 25 right on the back! I was just so happy to walk into my house with a big old bag to support my "habit" LOL!  I guess there are worse things to be addicted to than POAS!
I am so confused of my O day since I got AF 26 days apart this time...usually 28, but it seems that I O around 13 days after AF.  I am starting to feel close to O, but I think I am a day or two or three away.  Once the pre-seed comes we will probably start, the more BD the better!  I guess technically we have already started for fun, but closer to O the better chances!
How fun would it be to be preggos together!!

I got free shipping and i got conformation that it had been shipped within an hour or so of paying for it.
I guess HPT from the $ store make sense. I mean its really just the addiction of POAS that helps get to AF day. I would be happy using cheep ones up until the day of and then use one that predicts a lower hCG.
DH and I havent really had the stress of "O" day for a while. I mean being pregnant then having the M/C and waiting for two months for AF. that's about  5 months break from the "set days" we had to do something. Im hoping that this month will not be stressful and it will just happen. the pre-seed i got more to help with his little swimmers getting to where they need to be. not sure what the quality of my CM is thats all. I hope the EPO will help me notice CM as well.
I guess we are about two weeks apart now. when is "O" day for you? maybe we will be having a baby two weeks apart as well!

Let's really hope the pre-seed works, or at least makes time with the DH fun!  I guess I will know about the results when you are just starting the TWW?  Is that right, we are two weeks off from each other now right?  I am not too hopeful as we were together for 7 years and only one pregnancy...but hey, it happened once, and we upped the odds since we know the limited days available to actually conceive.
I am going to Walmart this weekend (everything is such a drive) to get another OPK, I have only had to buy one box of 7 for the last 5 months!  I hit the day right on so many times because of how my body feels.  Too bad I sure can't say I only have used 7 HPT's lol!  yeah, like 7 a month (at least).  having the $ store ones will make it easier.  The ones in town here are 2 for 20 usually!  I will let you know if the pre-seed shows up in time...I paid extra for it to get here, but EVERYTHING in this little town takes so much longer!

Congrats nunu!  I am so happy things worked out, but I'm sorry about all the pain.  CD1- that's great news.  Hopefully the OPKs and preseed will come soon so you can have a BFP for the holidays.  Good luck this month!!!

the only reason I wanted AF was to get that starting place. all this time my body really did get back on track fast... but i had obstacles in between. like AF that was trying to arrive at exactly 4 weeks after the D&C but couldn't get through the traffic jam.. lol.  then the stupid cyst that made me think something else bad was happening. I felt like it was going to be one think after another.

Baby dust to you all!!!!!!

I have a shopping cart ready to pay for with pre-seed and OPK's. total comes to $32.99. I am not sure about the OPK's though. they are .90 for 20-29 strips and im thinking of getting 20. the pre-seed in $14.99 with two free HPT's. DH said to do what i fell I need to so that is comforting even though this means spending the last of the money in our old bank account.

yay! Maybe this will be the last AF for a while. I understand what you're saying about knowing why you are having the pain though...When I was having those cramps last month and it took AF a week to arrive I was more worried of being pregnant than AF..Now you have a realy starting place though so I'm sending you lots of BABY DUST!!

Congrats!  It is all such a cruel cycle...after the D&C we want AF so bad, and especially after all you have been through....then we spend the whole TWW hoping and praying never to see that witch again!!!  Well, it doesn't look like we will be cycle buddies, but we will still be here for each other!
