Is this AF? (M/C mentioned)

fromustobaby · #1 May 22nd, 2011, 06:41 AM

I lost my baby at 9 weeks along 32 days ago...I bled for a while, but for the last week or so of bleeding, it was just spotting...I thought I had Oed on CD25, but then my temps dropped so much that I thought that there was no way that I had Oed...but now today, I'm having very light cramping and medium flow...this is similar to AF to me right now (I did have random bleeding a while ago that definitely wasnt like AF)...so...
would you consider this AF?
Do you think I actually did O (but it was very weak) and my LP was only 6 days?
Or maybe it was anovulatory?
Or is this mid cycle spotting (but it definitely isnt spotting)?

I'm so confused...
PS-My chart is in my siggie...
PPS-about a week ago, the line on an HPT (internet cheapie) was gone...I had been testing with those since my M/C, I have not had any blood draws to confirm that it was actually zero...I'd say, a week ago - at most - it was maybe 10-20?? so I dont think that this is random "products of conception" (oh how I hate that term)...
Thanks for you help!

I'm thinking that you wouldn't have ovulated if you were still getting BFP's on the HPT's.

Have you had a follow up appointment to make sure that you passed everything??

I had a followup U/S 5 days after the M/C...and she siad that everything had passed...

The line on the HPT was gone a week ago (couldnt see any line - a negative HPT), it was very faint 2 weeks ago...so, I dont know if the HCG was completely gone a week ago (the ICs read over 20 HCG - so it may have been less than 20), but it was super low at least...

I know you can O before your HCG gets to zero, though I'm not sure if this cycle wasnt anovulatory (though FF is saying that I did O?? weird O if I did???)...but just wondering if that sounds right for what is going on here...

I'm beginning to think that this is AF just based on what the flow is like...

I would say this is probably AF but as far as ovulating it's really hard to say. After a loss our cycles and bodies are so out of whack that sometimes we have no clue what goes on with them and it is very frustrating. I wish I could give you some answers. HUGS!

Katie...
Did your cycles get back to close-r to normal the next cycle...
Since we were preventing this past cycle, its nice that there is probably no way that I could have gotten pregnant during it...then I dont have any what-ifs...
This cycle, I'm full out trying, so I'm really hoping that I get a real O!!

After my loss last fall 6 weeks after my d&c I got a/f and it was 27 day cycle so 27-30 is normal for me.
Not sure about this last one cause I had /2 losses on the same cycle pretty much.

Good to know Lindsey...I'm really curious to even find out what my new normal is...before Kaiden, I had 45-70 day cycles, but I never had AF between having Kaiden and getting pregnant with the loss...so, I have the pregnancy and the miscarriage that may have both changed my cycle...

PS-I've decided that this is definitely AF..it is exactly like AF, except for minimal cramping (when I usually have pretty decent cramps on the first day)...
