Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 I only respond to posts where I have some been there and done that. I have never tried to TTC... however... I have a hard time keeping them inside long enough. Realistically... you were asking questions that even a medical professional can't guestimate over an email. I would really consult your RE or OB.. whoever is helping you with your fertility efforts. *************************************************** K in Ft Lauderdale Noah - 10/14/02 - 31 weeker Jonah - edd 11/18/04 ( currently High Risk Pg.. not WLS related) Open RNY - 12/02/03 262/200/someday maybe in the 120's??

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 The only thing I know for sure is a missed period and then take a home pregnancy test or have your PCP give you a blood test. I know how hard it is TTC and my heart goes out to you, it is very hard and painful and I know I shed many, many tears myself withe ach period every month. Hang in there are try to put it in God's hands if you believe in him, That is what finbally worked for me. Good LUck and God Bless.

My cycles became normal regual after wls, I 28 days, my last cyle was 7/23/04 which 28 days would be 8/19 I should start my next one, however I started light spottiong on 8/9 and I am still bleeding it was light up until today, its still is not as heavy as my normal periods, also i have very slight cramping in the bottome of my stomach and cramping in the upper part of my thigh. My breast are not soar at all and they are every month that I have my cycle, and not to be to gross when i use the bathroom normally when I am on my period it flows out with the blood this time its doesnt i just consume it on the sanitary napkin!!!!!!...at first I was thrilled to think that it may be implataion, now I just dont know, when I contacted dr.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Sorry you're feeling forsaken. I couldn't add anything previously, the only symptom I had was a missed period. It was a regular ole month, till I noticed I was a week late, then waited another 3 days & took a HPT @ 2 in the morning, but that's another story. Preggo symptoms started a couple of weeks later. Wish I could help more:-( Hope it works out for you! WlsMomma > All~ > > I have posted three times this week reaching out, I know none of you > can give medical advice.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 I would love to have responded to your post, but I know nothing of this. I wasnt trying to conceive when I did. So far I have had a typical pregnancy. But I did read your post as I do all of them and I greatly enjoy all the information and support given by this wonderful group. ~HUGS~ Shalonda > All~ > > I have posted three times this week reaching out, I know none of you > can give medical advice.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 , I am sorry no one has posted a reply to you, but I have worked about 7 12 hour shifts in the last 12 days, I am BEHIND! Let me see what I can answer (if anything) about your questions. Honestly, I cant quite understand your question is. >>>>TTC for 3 yrs, but regular cycles every 28 days. Spotting is considered a period so this may just be a mixed up cycle for you. Implantation bleeding should happen around day 10-12-14-16 in your cycle so the first day of spotting would be considered day 1. I TOTALLY understand your feelings of hoplesslessness and feeling desperate. Seeing as you have been TTC for 3 years, I am certain you have probably already seen a fertility specialist, right? It seems that should be your next step. Probably your very next step. Have you been taking your temps daily? charting your cervical mucous days? Has your hubbby has a semen analysis? have you had blood work to determine just what may be the ca se.I bought several books on TTC (Toni Weschler-Taking Charge of Your Fertility) then I saw a fertility specialist. We had several tests done, he thought with my age being as old as it was (36-37) that we should just go right for artifical insemination, so that was the route we took. (look at my profile pic@ I'm a proud Momma). I can't tell you whats going on. Implantation spotting would fall into the time frame that you are describing, but I dont want to get your hopes up. The only thing you can do is WAIT. I know that is the last thing on this earth that you want to do, but you either wait to take a preg test or wait for your period to start. I know its not much help, but just start having sex on cycle days 8,10, 12, 14,16, and 18. You may want to throw in day 20 for good measure in case you are a late ovulator. In my case, I NEEDLESSLY took clomid for nearly 7 months because my lazy ass OB wouldn't do other testing (ie: lab work, HSG, hyseteroscopym laparascopy etc) so I changed OB's and went to a fertility specialist. Have you seen one yet? That would be my suggestion to you if you havent seen one yet.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 , Hi....with all my pregnancies I experienced cramping and light bleeding the first month. I dont know if that helps but, dr said sometimes it happens from the egg planting itself in the uterus?

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 Hi I responded to your last post but dont know if u saw it or not, since bleeding can mean a number of things its hard to really say whats wrong since we are not professionals and can only go by experience...as i said in my other post it can be implantion bleeding, break through bleeding, some women have even bleed during ovulation of course these are spotting episodes not bleeding like a period...if your pregnant and bleeding or spotting you have to call your dr because that can mean a number of things also its just so hard to say in this delicate stage our hormones being wacked can cause abnormal bleeding again a dr would have to test u and examine u or what have to determine what is causeing the bleeding i sure hope all works out for you i know its fusterating but im not on here alot and when i am i try to answer posts that i can and or have experience with...Deanna > All~ > > I have posted three times this week reaching out, I know none of you > can give medical advice.
