So its been one month since my M/C and my body is still wacko.
I was using OPKs for I don't know what reason, just to try to figure out whats going on I guess. I got positive results on Thursday and Friday of last week. Kinda weird cause I was hoping I would be seeing AF sometime soon instead. I haven't been temping regularly because my DH has been on vacation so we have been getting up at different times. I don't even know if that would tell me anything at this point.
Well yesterday I started getting WAAAY moody. I had to just go for a drive because I was about to slap my DH. 
Today I am SOO tired, I can't concentrate on anything and I feel super blah. Even my comfy clothes are annoying to me today. So I'm wondering if maybe AF is around the corner? I haven't had PMS like this in a very long time. Friday will be one year since taking the Mirena out and starting the TTC journey. Sat my DS will be 3. I have so many other emotions going on right now, I don't need PMS crap on top of it. I just wish AF would come so I can get back on track!!!!!
I don't even know what to do with myself right now, I feel.....

Ugh! I'm sorry everything feels crummy right now! Your body can do all kinds of wacky things after a MC, so unfortunately there is no real "normal". I'd say wait a week and if AF doesn't show, then take a test. Keep us posted!

Yeah I'm thinking if I don't start by the 13th then I will test. If I did actually O this past weekend, then that would be the end of the "2WW".

 I hope AF arrives for you soon. I know my PMS seemed to be worse on cycles after a loss.

Thanks
My temp seems to be going up which makes me think I did O this past weekend. Good and bad...now I guess I have about a week and 1/2 to wait for AF.

I had the WEIRDEST "cycle" after Drew was born while waiting for AF to return. My OPKs would get almost positive then go away again and just keep fading in and out. My temp would rise and fall... SO STRANGE. Just sucks waiting for our bodies to figure things out so we can get on with our lives  I'm sorry you're stuck in the waiting game right now <3

I'm afraid to waste any more OPKs and keep testing. I'm gonna see what my temp does, its the highest it has been since the M/C so I'm hoping thats a good sign that SOMETHING is happening.

Hugs... I know it's frustrating. This is my second AF since my last loss and my PMS has been killer this time! She arrived a week early, but at least I know now why I'm so ornery and why I want to eat everything in sight!

My DH asked me last night if I thought I was pregnant because I even felt a little sick last night. I told him I didn't think so, that my PMS was prob just extreme this month.

It would be awesome, but I think I would be a nervous wreck worrying about everything being OK so soon after the m/c. Not to mention a lashing from the DR. LOL
I did leave it in God's hands though, we didn't use any kind of protection this month! 
I'm having a lot of the same symptoms that I had when I was pregnant, but I don't know if its really that bad, or if my mind is going crazy.
