Hellobee Boards

@periwinklebee: I'm so so sorry. I wish this could be faster. Sending you love.

@periwinklebee: I'm am sorry for both your loss and the fact that this will continue for another week. This must be so hard and I hope you can take care of yourself.

@periwinklebee: That I think sounds perfect, when you get through surviving remember to let yourself grieve however you need and do what ever feels right

@periwinklebee: I'm so very sorry and sorry that you have to wait another week. Thinking of you. I hope you are able to plan that trip with your husband and that in the meantime you are able to do whatever you can to take care of yourself.

@madisonbee: I'm sorry about the negative and the awful cycle you have had.

@jhd: Thanks

@mrskansas: I suppose its possible but I don't want to have my hopes up

@snarkybiochemist: I'm pulling for you, as always.

Well, my OBGYN says to see how the next week goes and take another test if no period. My goal is next Friday - before the wedding extravaganza weekend I'll be in. If still not pregnant, then labs and pelvic ultrasound and a visit with her as soon as I get back.

I'm glad she didn't brush me off this time and actually wants me to come in. I think I stumped her with my very detailed spotting descriptions for 10 days. Ha!

@madisonbee: I'm glad your OB is being proactive!

@periwinklebee: I'm so sorry you're going through this right now. I hope you are able to get some closure and have a speedy recovery. I hope you are able to plan that small trip you want to take and that it helps you recover and reconnect with your husband.

@madisonbee: I just can't do it, as great as it sounds to not have to but pads and tampons all the time.

@madisonbee: That's great. I'm glad she's responding positively to your needs!

@snarkybiochemist: Sorry lady. That was me the last two cycles. Early cramping/spotting... which only led to fantasizing I was just having a particularly intense implantation.

@periwinklebee: A nice getaway sounds perfect. Don't deny yourself any pleasure that weekend and above all take it easy on yourself. I'm so sorry this is happening to you.

@madisonbee @snarkybiochemist: I've heard that the period panties don't even feel wet! I've also heard they're really expensive though.

@madisonbee: @snarkybiochemist: I use those Thinx undies! They're good for the spotting and days 3-5 of my period. I use tampons for my heavy days 1 and 2.

@Tionn3: @bizwitch: really?! So crazy! I think mentally I couldn't handle it

@Tionn3: Diva cup was uncomfortable for me too. I used to use sea sponges which you can just rinse out and put back in. Sew some floss to it for a string. Boil to sanitize. They last 6-12 months depending on how many you have in your rotation. A normal size sea sponge cuts down into 3-6 "natural tampons" if you will, depending on your flow/needs.

I too feel strange about carrying my menstrual fluid around with me all day. Also, I am cheap.

@madisonbee: @Tionn3: The diva cup was awful for me - it didn't leak, but it hurt no matter how I inserted it. And it would hurt to have sex for like two weeks after, yuck. I asked the bees, and one suggested I had a low cervix and should try femme cycle low. There was a learning curve to figuring out how to insert it correctly, but once I got past that it's been awesome. I could never imagine going back to tampons.

Today the RE's office called and said my LH was 57, progesterone 4.3 and that I'm definitely ovulating. I do not wish 22 cycles of TTC on anyone but knowing absolutely when I'm ovulating is really, really great.

@periwinklebee: I am so sorry that it is taking so long to reach resolution. Hoping that your recovery is fast .

@snarkybiochemist: you're not out until you're out!!!

@bizwitch: That's great that you know this!
