Lines finally gone

ninja_mommy · #1 October 19th, 2011, 01:22 PM

I just POAS on a cheapy and there is no line. So I am hoping that when I have my blood test again Monday that my levels will be at zero

About a week ago they were at 45. I'm just ready to move onto the next cycle and to try again!

yay for no line!! i long for that day.

i hope the next time you pee on a stick it appears for you! good luck

Woohoo, Nena! Such good news. It seems so weird to not want to see a line on a HPT, but I know exactly how you feel. I hope your numbers are at 0 very soon!

I am just curious how long it will take before AF gets here. Isn't it funny I am wishing for no line and for AF to come?

But, those are the best things that can happen right now so I can get to the next cycle and try again!

It took AF almost 8 weeks to show up for me. I was so frustrated. I'm glad it showed up on it's own though. Was tempted to have my Dr prescribe provera to get it going. It's nice to be able to start counting the CD's again.

Well, I hope the

(in this case, she's not the Wicked Witch of the West but more like Glinda the Good Witch) shows soon. I can't provide a frame of reference because my m/c was pretty much like a period, and my hCG levels dropped so quickly (or stayed so low to begin with). Anyway, I hope AF arrives shortly and you can move on to the next cycle.

Not to pry, but are you feeling better about DTD? My heart broke for you when you posted that it made you cry the first time. And I hope you're feeling better.

It's been almost 5 weeks for me and I still haven't gotten mine... I was told possibly 6 to 8 weeks.

Well, I don't expect to see AF until early November. I m/c the 8th and bled for several days. Before my cycles were about 32 days.

I am taking a tincture of Ladies Mantle and Chasteberry to help regulate hormones. (My sister is an herbologist) So, hopefully that will help regulate my hormones. I have also been drinking RRLT too to help strengthen my uterus back up.

I'm still not sure how it will go. We are usually once a weekers when not TTC. Things were a little sore, so I think I might hold off until next week sometime. I'm not sure how to emotionally not make that connection that was triggering my sadness. But, hopefully it will go away soon.
I've just been emotional all around. You know, sad, confused, frustrated, angry, empty

I am going to approach the topic with DH of how we can help get some closure. Like a balloon release, planting a tree, naming the baby or something. We'll see how that goes.

I think it would be great for you and your husband to find a way to create closure. Keep us posted on what you decide to do. (And on your latest round of #s.)

HUGS to you...so sorry you're also going through a loss right now

Doing something to remember your LO helps...if you celebrate Christmas, with my first loss I got a special ornament and DH & I hang it together when we put up our tree, so you might consider something similar. I hope you find something that helps bring you some closure and provides comfort to you when you need it.

I'm glad the line didn't show. I hope when you go back your numbers are zero.

ninja_mommy · #12 October 20th, 2011, 07:43 AM

Thanks ladies. I was thinking last night about looking for an ornament for Christmas. (I actually started a tradition a few years ago to get at least one new ornament every Christmas.) So, I think I will try to find something nice and that will be our one for this year.
I know I need closure way more than DH. I mean, when the light spotting started I just told him how hard this would be if I was actually miscarrying. Then he took me in the next day to the OB and of course I was crying. So he just says "remember we can always try again." Which is optimistic and helps not to think this is the end of the world. But, it would have been nice to see him grieve a little

*SamF* · #13 October 20th, 2011, 08:10 AM

, I always wished DH would show a little more emotion over our losses too.

Glad you number is getting back down to 0! I hope AF doesn't stay away too long.

They're just wired differently. I feel like I have the most amazing husband in the world. He absolutely adores me and treats me like a princess. He is romantic and caring and always says the right thing.

However, when it came to the m/c, he just wasn't as shaken as I was. It bothered me at first, but then I thought, it would have been a little weird if he was as emotional as I was. The truth is that as much as we need the men to make the baby, the rest is on us. They get to have an orgasm while doing their part, and then we get to take care of the rest... and not just for nine months but also all that time and planning leading up to conception, then the nine months, then labor itself, breastfeeding, etc. And it wreaks physical and emotional havoc on us in ways that are impossible for a man to even remotely understand.

A m/c could be totally the result of a bad sperm, but it's our bodies that get to pay the toll. It just doesn't resonate with them like it does with us. So I had to get over the fact that he wasn't as upset about it, but I **** sure let him know exactly how I was feeling and that it would take as long as it needed to take for me to get over it.
