[Love-Bug]

Good Morning Ladies,

I am going crazy!! 7 weeks post D&C and still no AF. Tried Provera 10mg x 10 days. 3 days into it I started bleeding red blood for a day and a half. Which is what a normal period is for me before the pregnancy and D&C. I usually wouldnt even bleed enough for more than a panty liner. The month we got pregnant I wasn't even sure if I had a period because I only lightly bleed for half a day. But I guess it was because we got preggo 2 weeks after that??? Anyways getting off subject. Could it be possible that I had a period on Provera?? If so I should be ovulating on the 14th. And I have been cramping, and low back pain for the past week but no AF and negative IC. I have been trying to track ovulation with OPKs and checking my cervical mucus but am so confused. The OPKs always are negative and one day my CM will look like I'm heading for ovulation and then the next it will be creamy?? I just wish I could go back to normal and have some kind of hope that we can try again one day Thanks for reading ladies.





*********UPDATE**********

Thanks ladies I appreciate all of your advice and well wishes. You all are a great bunch!! Unfortunately when I got my pap done at my 8 wk appt. it came back with abnormal cells. A biopsy was done and my results came back today. The barely abnormal low risk cells that she thought they were have officially been diagnosed as high grade lesions and they want to do a leep procedure next week. So no trying to get preggo until after then. She also said she would do blood work to see what my hormone levels look like when they do the pre-op blood work. So maybe I will find some answers as to my AF is missing?? I've come to terms with this diagnosis and am hoping the procedure is a success. But am greatly concerned about the risk it causes to my cervix. I was diagnosed with an incompetent cervix after I lost my first daughter at 24 wks. I went into full labor. By the time I got to the hospital I was 7 cms. They tried to hold off labor with me in the hospital but that only lasted a day before I delivered. With my 4 yr old I had a cerclage put in at 16 wks. And although I went into pre term labor almost every wk from 26-37 and having it stopped with a hospital trip and the dreaded magnesium sulfate I made it to 37 wks. She is my miracle baby. So hearing that I am going to have a procedure that will weaken my already weak cervix and increases our risk of losing another baby scares me alot. But my dr. has the utmost confidence that between her and the perinatologist they can get me to another full term pregnancy when we get pregnant again. Sorry ladies I'm rambling. Just alot on my mind. I just hope when this is all done we can get a BFP and go on to have a happy healthy 9 months.

Im sorry you are going thru all this. I know sometimes it takes time for our bodies to get back to normal. I hope AF arrives for you soon and your able to get back on track.

I had a horrible time getting AF after my d&c. I did 14 days provera and that did not work, so did estrogen priming +provera and that worked (but my problem was a blocked cervix that was cleared with hysteroscopy).

My doctor told me that yes - it is possible to get a period while taking provera and it counts as a regular AF if you do - CD1. Sometimes our bodies just have trouble getting back into the swing of things. I would continue to use OPK as it is very, very possible your O date will be off this cycle. My first unassisted cycle I O'd on CD 14, where I normally O on CD 12-13.

Are you temping at all? It is not useful to predict O, but it really has helped me a lot. I did not temp before M/C. I had 24-25 day cycles and I really thought I O'd on CD 10 with a 14 day luteal phase, based on O pains and CM. I have temped 3 cycles since then and all have detected O on CD12 or 13, with a 12 day LP.

Hang in there. I know it is tough, when all you want to do is get back to where you were before!

Don't panic. I got AF at just about 7 weeks to the day but my OB said it could take longer.

It's really tough but it will come.

Hugs.
I hope it comes back quickly. It took about 7 weeks for me to get back on track I think.

I'm sorry you are having a weird post-D&C cycle. It is so frustrating.

I would count your bleeding on Provera as CD1, but know that this cycle may be longer than usual. The changing CM, may be your body struggling to get back on track. I hope you get clear signs of O soon!

I'm sorry that you have to go through this now. I hope that after all that is said and done you are able to go on and have a healthy successful pregnancy.

I am so sorry that you have to deal with this issue with your cervix and all these additional worries. It's good that you have confident doctors who know your history and what you want in the future. Good luck! I hope this doesn't sidetrack you for too long and everything turns out well.
