Another....

Strange cycle! Ugh! I am getting sick of this dysfunction I am dealing with in my cycles these days!

So as you all know, my CD 3 labs were off, due to this strange bleeding I am having, and even when I repeated the labs on another day- But, my estrogen was still just "too high" ( and my thyroid was off) to cycle with meds- so they canceled me- and told me to call in with the next AF-

So the bleeding continues, and gets worse as the days go by...After all was said and done, with spotting included, I bled for 15 days- 8 of those days were super heavy flow with large clots- then a few medium light days and some spotting before and after- I didn't even bleed that heavy, for that long after giving birth in the past! No one could tell me why I was bleeding this way....

Finally after what seemed like forever dealing with AF- I was down to super mild spotting. DH and I jumped on the chance for some fun together, but not cause we want to TTC, but cause it has just been "that long" since we could do anything, and man O was it much needed. Of course, I "thought" O would be wayyyyyy off- due to the messed up E2 and super long AF- But I woke up to a decent temp rise this morning, and while it could be a fluke my boobs are sore like I just ovulated as well...which is crazy to me!

I did have some EWCM- but that was mixed with HEAVY flow AF- for a few days, so because of the bleeding I did not even mark it as fertile fluid, cause, well, why would you!? Then after it slowed to spotting, I had a little more EWCM like stuff, but nothing I would have considered "my normal" fertile fluid-

I will have to wait to see what the next few days bring, but honestly, this is a bit strange. All of it. The E2 issues, my TSH going all whacked, the bleeding etc...I feel like my body is going to give out on me!!

ETA: I went ahead and called the R and asked for some blood work to see where I am in my cycle, and that way I know what I am dealing with! I go tomorrow morning, with results later in the day!

Here is the chart for your viewing pleasure! ( look at all those pink AF squares!)

  1. That is a lot of pink squares, but on a good note if you did O, you sure picked the right time to BD! Hoping your temp stays up and that you did O. It sounds like you might have from your other symptoms. I've seen some crazy looking pregnancy charts, so don't count yourself out!

  2. Maybe mother nature was cleaning house to try and have a tidy place for a little one to settle in.

What you should know if you are considering a tubal reversal

Its been 8 years. 8 years since we took a trip to NC to see DR. Montieth in Chapel Hill. I remember being so excited. I had this picture in my head of how it was going to go during, and after it all. For those of you who don't know, I had my tubes tied in 2009, after the birth of my 3rd, directly following a traumatic still birth. It was a decision made out of fear and trauma, not an informed decision. I ended up having adverse health issues (PTLS) after, and was desperate to find a solution. I stumbled upon a private chat room with others also struggling. Several had gone for a reversal, and seemed to feel so MUCH better after. I had already seen my doctor umpteen times, and they offered no solutions, and insinuated it was "in my head".... I saw all of these ladies posting the day OF surgery saying that they felt relief! I was like, "Yes, this is it!!"... So we saved the 6 Grand, and went and did the reversal. I was PUMPED. I started a blog, YouTube video and F...

Some statistics on Miscarriage

Miscarriage Statistics Overall miscarriage risk is 17-22%; risk after gestational sac is visible is 12-15% Miscarriage is one of the most frequent problems in human pregnancy. The most widely accepted definition is that proposed by the World Health Organization in 1977. The incidence among clinical pregnancies  (a pregnancy that is confirmed by both high levels of hCG and ultrasound confirmation of a gestational sac)  is about 12-15%, but including early pregnancy losses it is 17-22%. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11950476 After heartbeat is detected, risk of miscarriage is 9.4% at 6wks; 4.2% at 7wks; 1.5% at 8wks; 0.5% at 9wks To estimate the risk of miscarriage among asymptomatic women after a prenatal visit between 6 and 11 weeks of gestation where proof of fetal viability of a singleton was obtained by office ultrasonography at the same visit. METHODS: Those recruited were 697 asymptomatic women who attended their first antenatal ...

My game plan...

So I decided to give myself some goals and things to focus on while I recover from this last loss/ectopic. I will have to wait at least 3 months before we can try again, and let the effects of the methotrexate leave my body, and build up my folic acid levels again.  My plan: I am going to go back to my sugar/gluten free/semi paleo diet. I am going to cut out all caffeine (slowly over the next month) And, also starting working out 5 times a week or more. I plan to use a workout series such as Insanity or P90x. My goal is to lose 30- 50 lbs in the next 6 months. I also plan to start taking my old holistic remedies, like maca, red raspberry leaf and red clover, as  a fertility tonic. I plan to add in doing my castor oil packs, 5x a week consecutively, with two days rest. I also decided to really give taking serrapeptase a try. For those who do not know what serrapeptase is, I will give you a little run down on this nifty little enzyme. Discovered in the early 1970’s, th...
