Hey guys,
Well, this is my first time trying since I lost the twins . I have pcos, or suspected pcos and my cycles were almost always long 35-40 days when they wanted to show up on their own and sometimes I needed provera . Only when I ovulated did I get the fertile cm and it was super scant and thin until normally once on the day that I notice it or the next day, I get one or two huge globs.
Yesterday I was on cycle day 12 , hubby and I have BD the last 5 days in a row . Starting on CD 10 I noticed that I was slightly uncomfortable .. like little mini cramps all over my pelvic area . On day 11 they got slightly stronger but stayed more to the sides of my hip bones type . On the night of the 11thCD , the cramps were even stronger but still less then a period cramp overall, my lower back was uncomfortable . Right before I fell asleep, I had a sharp very noticible cramp on my right side, seemed close to my hipbone but lower . it lasted maybe a minute and was gone . Cycle day 12 I woke up to extremely light spotting, barely on the TP, light brown/tan maybe a tiny bit pink . It got slightly heavier during the afternoon, but still was very little, slimy tiny bit of egg white ( but again, i rarely have much ) and I only could seee it on the tp . By the evening I had more egg white and it was tinged slight ly brown but this time when I checked I had my normal huge globs of it . Today is CD 13 ,I am slightly tender but no cramps, no spotting, brown pink nothing . My cervix was soft,high , wet and open yesterday and this morning . Oh and since CD 10 I have had an extremely wet feeling that I don't always get either . I am sooo sorry for the but I am wondering if this brown spotting for the day( and again i can' stress enough how little it was ) is because of the miscarriage? could it be ovulation? I don't temp because I have sleep issues btu my husband and I both think I have been warmer the last 3 days . My body is extremely sensitive to hormonal shifts . I know it would be early in my cycle but so many girls say that their cycles change after a loss . When i got pregnant with my youngest daughter it was sometime during the week after my period( or so the drs say . So maybe when I do ovulate I am just an early ovulater? Gosh that sound sweird.. I am the ovulatinor .. So ok, I am a dork... I guess I am just worried about the brownish tinge.. I hav heard of ovulation spotting but....( also I have no history of visible cysts on my overies . what do you guys think ?
Also,
I take fiorecet for my migranes , it is a take it as you need it type not everyday. It's safe during pregnancy ( well as safe as any medicine is ) I have been a little down since I lost the boys and I have been getting more headaches as well . I was thinking of goign to the drs and asking to be put on topamax . It's a daily migrane medicine that is also used for mood stabilizing in some cases . I have looked into it and it seems to have minimal side effects , weight loss being the big one .. I looked it up on the internet as well and it seems that som ladies take it when pregnant in lower doses as well . Do you guys know anything about it? is it safe when ttc? Sorry for the long typing.. I am just soo hopeful this time around even though I promised myself I would not get that way .. Thanks again !!

So sorry about your loss of twins...

As for your CM/spotting/cramps observations - sounds sort of mysterious!! But it looks a lot like the secondary ovulation signs in this article: Secondary Fertility Signs. I'd say there's no reason to go to the doctor for it, since the spotting was light and <1 day, but you probably ovulated CD12 or so, so good job with the BD timing!!! Hope you caught the egg.


I don't really know what I would do about the migraines. If the drugs are deemed safe in pregnancy, I would trust that, since the testing for that rating is pretty stringent. Most things are "indeterminate - not known to be safe". It's hard because you can't just suffer constant migraines all day and expect that to be good for you or your babymaking (or your eventual bean!), but if the drugs aren't known to be totally safe, that's a difficult trade-off. Have you looked for dietary migraine triggers or other nondrug approaches to managing them? That could help. This matter is definitely something to talk to your doctor (or maybe to multiple doctors and/or alternative medicine practitioners) about.

Good luck!!!!!!!!!

I am sorry for your loss
I get horrible migraines as well and take fioriset also. Just make sure you are taking fioricet and not fiorinol as fiorinol has aspirin not tylenol in it. As far as the topomax, I would speak to your doctor about it as I heard conflicting stories about taking it during pregnancy.

It sounds to me like O symptoms. I get cramping in one side or the other, ewcm and the spotting could be from ovulating. Timing sounds great. I hope you caught the Eggie.

As for the meds for migraines. I get migraines and they are worse when pg. I have taken fiorecet through my last 4 pregnancies as needed.
