Best of luck to you, too! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1670933 Sat, 31 May 2014 22:34:32 +0000 lazypanda 1670933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I would consider today as cd 1 for you. I had a chemical pregnancy earlier this month &amp; my period was really light too. Good luck! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1670925 Sat, 31 May 2014 22:19:13 +0000 simplyfelicity 1670925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NerdBee: Thank you! Hope you are feeling great! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1670924 Sat, 31 May 2014 22:17:12 +0000 NerdBee 1670924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I understand the relief to finally be out of limbo. Now you have a fresh start! It is totally possible to get KU after an anovulatory cycle. Don't be surprised if your light bleeding ends after only 3 days. That's what happened to me. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1670917 Sat, 31 May 2014 22:13:07 +0000 simplyfelicity 1670917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NerdBee: Oh my gosh, I could so hug you! You have been so helpful through all this. Thank you! FWIW, it is a red flow, just very light. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1670913 Sat, 31 May 2014 22:10:56 +0000 NerdBee 1670913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: sounds like CD1 to me. My anovulatory period was light like you describe. Crossing my fingers for you that this will be your cycle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1670905 Sat, 31 May 2014 21:57:03 +0000 mfa_lady 1670905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey lady. I'm so sorry again for your loss--and even though I didn't have a chemical, I wanted to chime in and agree with @winniebee: --I think a long cycle post-MC is really normal. When I finally "finished" with my missed MC, I had a 54-day cycle. I have a good feeling for you....I think you're going to be back on track really soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1670875 Sat, 31 May 2014 21:26:05 +0000 simplyfelicity 1670875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>TMI: Okay, so after about three days of very light spotting, I started to actually have a flow. It's still really light compared to my normal heavy periods but I definitely needed a pad. It reminds me of my typical flow on like cd 4 or so. My periods typically start off immediately with a heavy flow. All of this makes me think I had an anovulatory cycle this month. Would I consider this CD 1? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1670300 Sat, 31 May 2014 09:30:39 +0000 simplyfelicity 1670300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: I am so sorry for your loss.

So I'm on CD34 right now and this cycle will probably be a total of 36 or 37 days, when my cycles are normally 28. Could just be a late ovulation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1670116 Sat, 31 May 2014 00:34:10 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1670116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thinking of you and hoping you get AF soon so you can move on to your rainbow baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1670087 Fri, 30 May 2014 23:10:46 +0000 simplyfelicity 1670087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kbee: That's great to hear, for both of us! :grin: I have a feeling the spotting is due to this wonky cycle. Thank you, you've been a huge help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1670085 Fri, 30 May 2014 23:06:43 +0000 simplyfelicity 1670085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NerdBee: My goodness are you knowledgeable! So whether I didnt O or I just O'ed late, I will get a "period" of sorts?</p> <p>I am guessing that eventually you have your "period" because your body finally gets the memo that you aren't going to ovulate this cycle but, in the meantime, but my body hasn't figured it out so it is spotting to maintain the quality of the lining. </p> <p> I am going to give it a few more days and then go to my OB. Thank you SO much. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1670082 Fri, 30 May 2014 23:02:18 +0000 Kbee 1670082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I'd say strong cramps are a good sign, at least a sign that you might be on the other side of this confusing cycle soon :happy: But, my RE was concerned because she said that sometimes (not always), spotting can indicate a hormone problem (progesterone, estrogen, prolactin, etc.). I had spotting in addition to a late O (usually around day 21), and so the combination of late O and spotting made her think that my hormones were off and could have been causing early mc's. But, all the test results came back normal! In your case, I wouldn't be too concerned about spotting yet, because from what I hear MANY women with spotting can still go on to have successful pregnancies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1670068 Fri, 30 May 2014 22:48:25 +0000 simplyfelicity 1670068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kbee: Yes, this is my second cycle off BCP. I was on it for about 5 months or so, got a BFP the first cycle off, CP and now this weird cycle. I am getting some really strong cramps...so hopefully this is a good sign. You are right, this is my first month TTC without a BFP so I might have just never noticed these things. Also, why was your RE concerned? I am going to make an appointment if I don't have AF in a few more days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1670062 Fri, 30 May 2014 22:41:24 +0000 simplyfelicity 1670062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Thank you! Glad to hear my cycles should go back to normal soon. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1670030 Fri, 30 May 2014 22:11:42 +0000 NerdBee 1670030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I'm not sure if you can count your spotting as breakthrough bleeding since it was so light that you didn't even need a pad. And you are only CD 35 or 36 right? I would give it 4 or 5 more days. </p> <p>I think the reason why there is breakthrough bleeding with anovulatory cycle is because the uterine lining has gotten so thick that it cannot sustain itself so it sheds just enough so that it can continue to thicken. That may explain the lighter than usual bleeding. </p> <p>But there is hope! I got my BFP with DS in the cycle right after my anovulatory cycle. If this is an anovulatory cycle for you I hope next month is your month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1670001 Fri, 30 May 2014 21:44:50 +0000 Kbee 1670001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 2 back to back CP's a few months ago. After my second, my cycle was WAY longer than usual. I may have still O'd (not sure?), but it was 9 days later than usual based on OPKs, and my cycle was 40 days in total. The bleeding I had that cycle was somewhat light, but still seemed close enough to a normal period that I felt confident about counting it as CD1 (and my RE did as well). I think it's fairly common for cycles after early mc's to be out of whack. Do you have an OB you can talk to about your breakthrough bleeding? Just so that you can try and understand more about whether what you're experiencing now is "CD 1" or not? </p> <p>Also, I think I read in another thread that this is one of your first cycles off of BCP? Maybe you ovulated and you are just having spotting before AF, and this is just the first cycle you are noticing this pattern. Each of my BFN cycles I have had 4 days of spotting before AF, and it was something my RE was concerned about. </p> <p>I hope that you learn more about what's going on in the next few days, I know it's such a hard place to be in!! So like winniebee said, hang in there!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1669992 Fri, 30 May 2014 21:39:11 +0000 winniebee 1669992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I don't think so -- my bleeding lasted a little liger than normal and the cycle was just strange. Weird cramping and I kept thinking AF was coming any day for awhile. I definitely did ovulate because I barely ever have cm and then around day 32 had copious amounts and 13 days later got my period. They regulated again after that cycle but were still longish for a few more (30-35 days). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1669990 Fri, 30 May 2014 21:36:44 +0000 simplyfelicity 1669990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Thank you for your response! :happy: Did you spot at all in your long cycle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1669984 Fri, 30 May 2014 21:33:59 +0000 winniebee 1669984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After my miscarriage I had a 45 day cycle which is incredibly long for me. Ovulated around day 32 (tell tale cramps and cm). I actually think it's more common than not to have a super long cycle post miscarriage. I remember when I was really wanting my period I posted a poll on weddingbee and 6 weeks was the most common answer for how long it took post mc to get it back. Hang in there!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1669983 Fri, 30 May 2014 21:33:42 +0000 simplyfelicity 1669983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NerdBee: So, unless REAL AF, shows up soon, I can count myself on CD 2? Like I said, it is so incredibly light. This may seem like a silly question but if I don't bleed a lot, where does the lining go? Does it just wither internally (oy, what an image.) This really helps a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1669975 Fri, 30 May 2014 21:28:17 +0000 NerdBee 1669975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: yup when you don't ovulate you don't get a real period because you don't get the drop in hormones which triggers the shedding of your uterine lining. Instead you just get breakthrough bleeding when it has been so long that your uterine lining cannot sustain itself any longer. But according to TCOYF you can count breakthrough bleeding as CD1. Hope that is helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1669927 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:50:31 +0000 Radish 1669927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I have no experience, but I'm so frustrated for you. Long cycles are the worst. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1669925 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:49:17 +0000 simplyfelicity 1669925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: Thanks! Sounds like we have a lot in common and, hopefully, we can over analyze together even if we aren't on the same due date board. I will be sure to "hit up" your wall. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1669915 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:43:37 +0000 Raindrop 1669915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: So we can over analyze everything and anything! I definitely hope you are not too far behind. FX for you getting KU very very soon. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1669912 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:41:22 +0000 simplyfelicity 1669912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: Hahahaha, how can you tell? :wink: My sis calls me a "soft type A!" You mean, so we can over analyze pregnancy symptoms? Hopefully I am not too far behind! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1669908 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:38:44 +0000 Raindrop 1669908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: This is going to sound totally selfish. I'm totally bummed out you had a CP. Because I know you are an A-type like me and I think it would have been super fun to over analyzing stuff with you. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cycle-after-chemical#post-1669899 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:34:45 +0000 simplyfelicity 1669899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: I truly appreciate your support. :heart: </p>
