Guest guest Posted August 13, 2001 Report Share Posted August 13, 2001 Hey Everyone! I am back from " vacation " . It was not at all fun. Earl and I decided we aren't even going to refer to it as a " vacation " but instead as a " trip " . To make a long story short, my mil was hateful and selfish the entire time. There was also a tropical storm in the Gulf so we drove from our house to Atlanta, then to NE Georgia to the lake house until the storm was gone, back to Atlanta to leave our boat, then to the beach house in Gulf Shores, then to Athens GA for a wedding, then back to Atlanta to pick up our boat, and finally back home home to the hopping town of Ringgold, GA and let me tell you - Ringgold has never felt SOOOOOOOO good. Earl called me from work today to tell me work was wonderful and he loved it. This is indeed a rare phone call. Anyway, I am so behind on posts but I'm working on it. Welcome to the new people. M, I am so sorry you are having to go through this again. I hope you are as strong as you sound. It sounds like you have found some comfort in knowing that your next step is IVF. It's good to know where you're headed. OK, here's what happened to me. I started spotting again (or it's AF, I don't even know). I really wonder if it's stress because I have just stayed an emotional wreck lately. Read this and tell me what you think. 1st cycle - began 6 weeks after ep surgery, lasted 30 days 2nd cycle - began spotting 2 weeks into 2nd cycle and then had very heavy af, not sure how long b/c of spotting 3rd cycle - (current cycle), began spotting 2 weeks after af ended I have a dr appt with a new dr on Wed at 10:30. I have heard great things about him and it was very easy to get an appt. One woman who told me about him quit seeing my current dr for the same reasons I am leaving and loves the new dr I will see for all the qualities I personally need in a dr. We'll see how it goes and what he has to say about how messed up I am. I have my records ready which are as thick as my Bible. I cried and cried when I started spotting again this cycle. I just feel like it's never going to happen for me. We got pg so easily the first time and, now that I'm paying attention, it won't happen. This whole mess is just my luck. Sorry, I felt the need for a pity party. If anybody has an idea of what could be going on with me, please fill me in. In the meantime, I'm trying to catch up and respond to last week's posts. I really missed you guys. (((HUGS))), Carmen Carmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 Carmen, Let me start out by saying, I am glad you are home!! It sound like you had a long, not so fun trip! That really stinks. I am sorry your mil was very nice. I hope things change on that front. I know the tropical storm was a pain. I live on the east coast of Florida and we had constant rain for 3 days, even though we really needed it, enough was enough! As for your cycle and spotting, I am not sure what to tell you. I really thought it might of been mid-cycle bleeding, like was having for a couple of months. It could be stress, it can really mess up the body. I know you feel like you are never going to get pg but please try not to think that, we have to think positively (I know it ain't always easy....boy, do I know that!!) but it will happen again!! Try not to be hard on yourself. Your body went through alot with the ep but you will be ok. I am very happy to hear that you found a dr and that you have heard good things about him. It isn't easy finding a good and caring dr. Maybe he will be able to shed some light on your spotting. Please keep me posted. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 Carmen, I had the same thing happen to me. I spotted two weeks after af for two cycles. Are you charting your temp? The doctor decided she thought I wasn't ovulating, so I was having anovulatory bleeding. That is when she put me on Clomid and it controlled it. My hormones were really screwy after my ep. You know I bled for 12 weeks after my ep, stopped the bleeding with birth control pills, got off the pills and started bleeding again. Something about the hormones in the Clomid helped me out. I'm not saying this is your case, but I would definately see the doctor. Welcome Back! carme1ita@... wrote: Hey Everyone! I am back from " vacation " . It was not at all fun.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 Hey Carmen, we missed you!! I am sorry you had such a horrible trip... I know that it can take several months after an ep for your cycle to get regular... I am glad you are going to a new dr and am praying that you get lots of good news tomorrow. Keep us posted and welcome back. lisa r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 , Thanks! I am glad to be back. I am sure things will improve with my mil, I just need a break from her for now. I wasn't spotting - I started my period. It's very heavy and painful which is unusual for me. And it's only 2 weekd since it ended last time. I'm so glad I have an appt. in the morning. I hope your rash clears up soon. If it's not one thing it's another. You have had so many discomforts with your pg - anybody else would be whining up a storm but I know you're too greatful to be pg in the first place. You are so strong. Hang in there.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 , No, I haven't been charting temps, but I need to start. I was hoping not to go down that road b/c I'm already obsessed enough as it is but at this point it seems necessary. I feel pretty sure I'm not ovulating - I will see a new dr. tomorrow and find out what he thinks. I am having a very strong af right now and it's only 2 weeks after the last one ended so I know things are not right. Do you have to wait 3 months to start Clomid. Seems like I heard something about that. Thanks for the welcome back. Love, Carmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 Carmen, I will be thinking of you today. I sure hope your new dr can give you some answers or at least point you in the right direction. Thanks, It does always seem to be something, huh? I do feel like I whine about things sometimes, but I try not to b/c I am very grateful. --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
