Hey ladies, Sorry i haven't been around DF & I took a trip to Whistler BC for a few days! It was beautiful there, we had a lot of fun. The only sucky thing was AF was visiting the whole time !! Oh and I went in yeaterday for my weekly blood draws and guess what?




I'm back down to 2.8!!!!!!

So now I still go in monthly for the next six months but it's much better than weekly!

I have a couple questions about AF, it started on DEC. 31st & im STILL bleeding today. That seems like a pretty long time (compared to my usual 4-5 day ones) Is that normal? Also, the first day you your cycle is the first day of bleeding, right?

The day you start AF is day number 1 of cycle. You said you started Dec. 31st? So December 31st would be day one. If you have a 28 day cycle you would actually start on day 29. (Which would really be day 1) Did I confuse you yet. I have always thought that you counted your period as the last day of your cycle and the first...until this month. Anyway about the bleeding. I think everybody is different on that. Mine had went from 2 days to 5. Good luck on everything.

Welcome back, I'm glad you had a good time!!

YAY for your numbers going down!! Going in weekly stinks...I had to go in for 9 weeks straight for my first m/c.

As far as your questions, everyone is different. That seems like a long time to bleed, but I'm sure its not too worrisome. And I always considered the first day of my period as CD1. Hope that helps!

Glad to hear your levels are down! As for AF wow that seems a long time. I have no clue what are bodies do after m/c I am waiting on my first AF and have spotted for the past 5 days!

Glad to see you back!!!!

WOOHOO for your levels dropping!!!! As for AF -- totally sucks that she's still here! I have no idea what it could be, if it continues past this weekend, I'd call the doctor!

As for your cycles, CD1 is the FIRST day of your period. Your cycle does not end until your next period arrives. Example: a 28 day cycle, starts CD1 with AF, ends CD29 when AF returns, in turn -- making it CD1 all over again.
