This is driving me crazy

[sadiesmommy]

Here is my history. I suffered a miscarriage at the end of November. At my 3 week checkup the MD gave us the go ahead to start trying again which we did. I got what i think was my period on Jan11th. I calculated my days since I usually have a 28day cycle and figured ovulation to be around the 24th. I won't go into detail but suffice it to say things happened when they were supposed to =-). Now this past monday I had a very scant amount of light pink discharge (not even enough to fill a pantyliner) it lasted until wednesday and we "ya know" that night. Now it is back again this am. My period isn't due for another six days. I am having some mild pregger symtopms I was just wondering if anyone else has had anything similar and if they had spotting as a sign that they were pregnant. The wait is killing me!!!!

I am trying really hard to relax but as you both know it is something we want very badly and yes you view pregnancy totally different after a m/c. My husband mentioned that know he wants more children then he ever did before. I know periods can sometimes be screwy after a m/c so I tried not to be too upset when I got my 'period' (at least thats what i think it was) on the 11th. I was hoping to be lucky and not get a period back at all just get pregnant right away and I wasn't surprised when it showed but I was surprised by how sad I was. I take solace in watching my son and step-son grow everyday and they have helped me get through this trying time in an amazing way. Still I can't help what I feel and I want more babies.. don't we all. I will let you know what happens this coming week. I am going to try as hard as I can to wait for testing although maybe I should anyways because then if the result is negative my body will relax so aunt flo can show up and we can be on to trying again. Thanks for your posts, You are in my thoughts!!!

It was my first pregnancy.....I'm old too....34 and no little ones yet, which I why I'm so eager to get pregnant again!  I'll take all the prayers I can get.....Thanks for that!  
What you say about symptoms is true...When I was pregnant my bbs hurt so badly that it was painful to even wash them in the shower....But I liked it b/c I knew there would be the best outcome ever!

I will pray for you....I feel like once you have a m/c you look at pregnancy so different. I dont know if that was your first pregnancy or not, but at least have the comfort knowing how much you are going to love and cherish your child once you are pregnant again. I know I complain about my symptoms in my post, but i am so so happy. I wouldnt trade these symptoms bc i at least know that if i feel like ****, my baby must  be sucking the energy out of me, which i take as a good thing....when im not feeling my worst (obviously tonight is  "good" night hehe)  But keep your head up, think positive, and if possible TTC even if it might not be your "week" bc you never know...it could help!

Thanks for the words of encouragment!  Like i said, I know that alot of this MIGHT be in my head b/c I really desperately want to be pregnant......So I'm just going to go with the flow and see what happens!  We were pretty diligent about hitting the right days....at least I assume they were but as you know, your body can be a little screwy after it goes thru a M/C and/or D&C....So I'm hopeful...Thanks again!

I didnt have a D&C when i had a m/c in late Sept., so im not sure if this is helpful but I didnt have a normal period in Oct, and by Nov. it was starting to become regular again. Its so incredibly hard going through a m/c so i feel for the both of you right now. The best thing that I can say to you, is to just try to relax and not think about it. My fiance and I were TTC like 2 weeks after my m/c bc we were so hurt and just wanted to be pregnant as soon as possible. I would swear I was having symptoms. Breasts would hurt/ vomiting/ even felt hungrier than usual.Yet every month , good old aunt flow would show up and disappoint me! Its your body wanting to be pregnant so bad that your body acts as if it were pregnant. January cameand we decided not to think about it. We were aware when I was ovulating but we just decided to enjoy ourselves. we went on vacation on the same week i ovulated, and just enjoyed it, did our thing when we felt like it, and didnt let all thtrying fill our minds.....now im 6 weeks pregnant, and even the nurse explained that many couples after a m/c become more fertile bc the body wants to be pregnant, and most couples end up pregnant when they just relaxed and let it happen. I hope that this at leats gave you hope, or peace of mind. I wish teh best of luck to both ofyou :)

If these crampy things are implantation them I must be having triplets!  LOL!   I know what you mean about it being hard not to get your hopes up....I have mine up too...It's hard not to when you want something (and are trying so hard) so badly......Lots of luck to you!  You let me know your results as well!

[sadiesmommy]

Thanks for your help anyways, if nothing else it is nice to know there are people out there who are taking the time to read what you post and answer any way they can. I am going to try my best to wait until thursday because that is when AF is due and then take a test if she doesn't show - will keep you posted.

[sadiesmommy]

I have hard that some people get cramps during that time. I don't know what to think and it is very hard not to get my hopes up. The only other thing we can do is wait. PLease keep me posted on what happens with you 'kay!!

I had a D&C in Dec. for a missed M/C, had a normal period Jan.9th, so I'm only a few days ahead of you.......We started TTC in Jan.....I've had NO spotting/bleeding, but I think that I ovulated much later than I was supposed to...Not 100% sure though.....I have a few pregnancy symptoms.....heavy breasts that seem to be getting a little larger, and mild lower abdominal cramping for 2 days......Do you get cramps with implantation by the way?  I'm hoping it happened again, but I think alot of it might be in my head b/c I want to be pregnant so bad!  Or it may be signs of AF coming into town!  LOL! I'll test on Mon. I think  Lots of luck to you!

hi, i don't think i can be of much help, but after when i had a miscarriage and D&C my period was messed up for a long while including spotting between periods. But having said that what you are experiencing could well be implantation bleeding, so it would be hard to tell until your period is actually due and the test stick would do the trick :) Good luck and keeps us posted.
