Ok...so I seriously need someone to talk me down...

Since I had the big dip two days ago I have had some brown spotting...just brown mind you...and I know that this is just something that my body is doing because of the MC (cause I have never had it before) but I still have had no AF...have had AF like cramps...am tired...yesterday evening I was feeling nauseaus, but I am just getting my heart get the better of me because I know that I can not be PG...I mean it is an impossibility. The last time we BD'd (where it was finished) was August 14th. Around O time we used the good old faithful pull and pray method, which served us just fine for 3.5 years...with out getting PG...so I know that I am not, but then why all the weird symptoms? My boobs are NOT sore which is the only thing that seems to be missing from the equation. Please...will someone please talk me down??!!

Oh Marci, I know you know this but after a M/C your body does some really freaky stuff. If you Know thier is no way to be pregnant (not that the pull out method is 100%, just wanted to throw that out) Than it is just your body being not so nice.... But, BUT.... since the pull out is not 100%... I would just keep an eye out on your symptoms... and you can always ask for bloodwork from your Dr, and come on... I am such a stick pusher.... you can always POAS in a few days... to IF it was maybe IB. I hope either way you get some answers!!!! HUGS

Well I don't like talking someone down from testing!!!!

... but if you need me to, I have had pregnancy symptoms -STRONG ones for two out of three post- m/c cycles. It's so annoying!!!! I plan on trying to ignore it in the future because my body, at least, is totally out of whack!

Thanks girls...back to reality... It definately helps...I will just continue for the witch to show her ugly head...I'm just worried now that my numbers were not back down to zero yet, and that's why she hasn't come out full force... two weeks ago though my numbers were between 0 and 20, so they would have to be 0 for me to O wouldn't they...sorry...it's the first AF since the MC, and it's so confusing!!

The first AF after a mc can be confusing. I agree with Kary that testing might actually ease your mind a little but really all you can do is wait it out.

The last week before my first AF was hell. Spotting, tests that looked positive, EPS... but I think it was all in my head... finally she showed about a week late.

I'm kind of in the same situation as you. First full cycle since m/c. Mysteriously absent AF. Some EPS, some AF signs and lots of BFNs, but so far but still no witch. So what I would normally say is....POAS! But since you need some support I'll say just wait it out and see. But if you're curious...POAS! And just remember that pulling out is not 100%. There's a chance, girl!

I'm sorry your body is being crazy. It's so disheartening to know there's a good chance your body is just playing tricks on you! Just be patient and see what happens. Either way, it's good news, right? If AF shows, then you are getting back to normal and your body is READY to TTC....if she doesn't show and you're pg than we can all celebrate. Hang in there.

Marci... I'm sorry if I talked you up in the post

I dunno, anything is possible tho. I guess just wait until AF is due and go from there... could be a little different this cycle.

Krystal you crack me up, but I'm with her...

I understand the pull and pray method we have used it for years without fail. So I know when you say you know. I did tell my dr our method and he said its only about 60% effective. I said well it has worked for 9 years off and on so not overly worried. If you are worried you could test. Hugs and let us know what happens.

Marci - I just started reading a book yesterday on miscarriage. The author (an RE) said that it can take up to 3 months for all the HCG to be out of your system! I'll post eh name of the book when I'm done reading it.

However, you LP has varied in the past and the witch could still be a day or two away. I know it's frustrating but when has AF ever cooperated?
