I guess only time will tell going forth now... DH has been great. Neither parents know. I don't think mine even know we're TTC and his would be devastated. So it's just him and HB for support right now which I'm so grateful for. I'm trying to just be positive about everything which helps prevent the tears! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-at-square-one/page/3#post-1089613 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 09:56:44 +0000 ShootingStar 1089613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: So I think at first the brown CM was implantation bleeding. It happened around 9 or 10 DPO and at first I thought it was indicating AF was about to start, since I always spot the day before. I was kind of upset because it was my first ovulatory cycle when I knew which day I ovulated and I thought I had an short LP problem. I think it stopped and then started getting my typical spotting. I remember I called my RE to get in for the typical CD3 testing (they always ask you to call on CD1 which I assumed would be the next day) and asked if I could do CD2 due to traveling for the holiday. But by the time I went in 2 days later, it had never fully started, just spotting off and on. I think I never had enough HCG/progesterone to keep me from shedding my lining, hence the spotting.</p> <p>I didn't have to do anything differently at all the next time, it was exactly the same. My DH had the same attitude, as did my parents (who knew what was going on because we were at their house when I found out). It's great if you look at the positive side, because it really is one. For us it meant we didn't need to go the extra lengths with trying IUI. I just wasn't ready for that to make me feel better at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-at-square-one/page/2#post-1089574 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 09:46:28 +0000 Bao 1089574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry to hear this :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-at-square-one/page/2#post-1089564 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 09:44:11 +0000 LindsayInNY 1089564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: When I went for my annual exam at 9DPO, I noticed brown CM and assumed AF was coming. My dr said that wasn't necessarily the case. 13DPO was my BFP at home. I went for blood test confirmation at 17DPO which turns out was the 48 hcg. The brown CM had stopped by that time but started again at 19DPO. This was bound to happen and I don't think anything could've prevented it. My doctor prescribed progesterone prior to my BFP so I think that's the issue... She's suppose to call me back now so I know whether to use it this cycle or not. I guess the positive side of this happening so early is that we shouldn't have to wait to TTC again? Did you ever find out the cause of your brown CM? Did you have to do anything differently? DH is being optimistic and, like you said, it glad that it means we *can* get pregnant. So that's a start. &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-at-square-one/page/2#post-1089557 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 09:42:50 +0000 SweetiePie 1089557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: So so sorry, friend. You've got a great support system at home with DH and you have the whole hive here. I wish there weren't so many of us who've had this experience, but I'm glad we all have each other. I know its hard not to, but don't give up hope just yet! Praying for your body and heart to heal quickly. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-at-square-one/page/2#post-1089526 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 09:37:14 +0000 LindsayInNY 1089526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: Thank you &lt;3 I made an appointment for Wednesday for blood work. I called back and asked to see a doctor at that time and had to battle with the receptionist. My doctor is suppose to call me back now. She prescribed progesterone for my next cycle (assuming I was going to get a BFN) so there's clearly a need for it. Sigh. We'll see what happens from here... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-at-square-one/page/2#post-1089506 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 09:32:44 +0000 ShootingStar 1089506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: This is exactly what happened to me the first time I got pregnant. I had brown CM and thought a new cycle was starting and then I found out from my RE that my HCG was 5, so technically pregnant but not looking good. I continued brown spotting on and off for a few days and then eventually AF showed up. </p> <p>The good thing is there's no reason, physically, to wait to TTC. My doctor had me to immediately into the next cycle. A couple cycles later we were PG again and I'm now 30 weeks. </p> <p>I know it's really hard right now. You try for so long and you finally feel like you have a timeline for when you'll get your baby, and then it's just gone. It's such a tiny thing, the size of a poppy seed, and yet it held so much promise. I cried a lot. And then I went out and had sushi and some strong drinks. </p> <p>This all happened last year around Thanksgiving. I think I found out 2 days before it I was PG, and then the day after I found out my beta was down to 0. And now this year at Thanksgiving DS should will mostly likely be here :). It seems now like it won't get better, but it will. A CP SUCKS and it sucks to hear this - but it's a good thing to know you and your DH can conceive together. It's just not much consolation to hear it right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-at-square-one/page/2#post-1089456 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 09:23:11 +0000 Pancakes 1089456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs to you. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-at-square-one/page/2#post-1089449 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 09:20:40 +0000 swurlygurl 1089449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so, so sorry. :( I'm glad you have your DH to support you. &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-at-square-one/page/2#post-1089410 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 09:08:10 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1089410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: First...I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a pregnancy is one of the worst things I've ever been through, so absolutely understand your feelings right now.</p> <p>Second...right now, they're testing your blood to make sure that your HCG levels are returning to zero. If they don't, that might mean that you didn't fully miscarry and they may have to still do a D&amp;C. Once they've determined that everything is back to zero, that's when they'll focus on your future for TTC. Don't wait for them to call you on anything. Keep following up with them and keep asking them what the next steps are. You said it perfectly in your other post that what's important to you isn't necessarily on the top of their priority list...so you have to make it the top of their priority list. Be proactive and keep asking questions. Don't let them slack off even for a second! </p> <p>Lots of luck to you...and again...let me know if you need anything or want to hear about my experience! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-at-square-one/page/2#post-1089385 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 08:59:19 +0000 Lindsay05 1089385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so sorry. You had the whole hive rooting for you but you also have us all here for support. Good luck with your journey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-at-square-one/page/2#post-1089377 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 08:56:18 +0000 LindsayInNY 1089377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After all that with my doctor's office last week, I found out my betas from Thursday were 48 (the nurse said they've been using a new lab and should've had the results on Friday but the lab sucks. Awesome.)... So this was inevitable. They're having me come in on Wednesday for a blood test again and, if necessary, a week later. I don't know what this means for TTC going forward now though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-at-square-one/page/2#post-1089360 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 08:52:59 +0000 MrsKoala 1089360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry for your loss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-at-square-one/page/2#post-1089309 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 08:37:32 +0000 lil owl 1089309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so sorry for your loss </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-at-square-one/page/2#post-1089300 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 08:33:45 +0000 MrsH 1089300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of us have been there so we know what it is like.
