I feel so defeated today. Here we are over 8 weeks post miscarriage and I'm still spotting. All in the world I want is to try again! I finally stopped spotting for a week, then as soon as we DTD this weekend I am spotting again. 
I don't know what to do with myself. Whenever I see posts on here about timing of when to try I feel frustrated with my body cause I am mentally wanting to try but my body won't cooperate. It feels like I'm losing precious months of TTC.
/pity party over.

Sorry, I know this is a stupid and obvious question but - did you get your beta levels tested down to zero? Just making sure there's nothing left in there that would cause you to still be spotting.

I'm so sorry. It's so frustrating when our bodies don't cooperate. Big hugs, and I hope the spotting stops soon.

@spaniellove: no they didn't. I don't show up positive on the wondfo's anymore tho. When I called a few weeks ago, they said to give it another 3 weeks before they'd have me come in. Now we are moving in 10 days to new city so I don't know what to do.

@runnerd: They should at least do a beta to be safe and make sure there's no tissue left that could be producing HCG...and if they don't think it's at 0 yet, they could do 2 a week apart to see if it's going down. The other possibility might be your cervix? Is it painful? I'm so sorry you're going through this!

@runnerd: I would call your Dr. and tell them you are moving in 10 days and want one last check up. Maybe even request a referral for your new area, if they are able to do so.

I know how you feel. I felt so betrayed by my body. For what it's worth, I m/c'd without the aid of any drugs or surgery. It took nearly 6 months after to get the BFP. I felt like my cycles (which are usually incredibly regular) were out of whack, which is why I think it took so long. I never had my hCG drawn, but as others suggested, it could be reassuring to know that your body is trying to re-acclimate itself.

@Espion: so true! I feel totally betrayed by my body! I thought id be all back to normal 6 weeks later and get a quick BFP. Guess life cant always be all quick and simple like that!

Thinking of you. Maybe try to get one last appointment or at least an appointment in the new city set up?

Oh no.... Hope it stops soon! I actually had to have 2 d&cs because the first wasn't successful. But for me it was a lot of heavy heavy bleeding and clots. Like I couldn't get off the toilet because I'd fill a pad in under a minute.
Good luck!

So sorry you're having a frustrating time It's really annoying not to know what's going on! I hope you get some answers soon.

@runnerd: Just sending you lots of positive vibes and big e-hugs. It's so frustrating when you just want to move on but your body seems determined to keep you frozen in time forever. You will come out the other side of this and get that BFP, I just know you will!

Thanks for all our words. Most the comments made me tear up to read - when I'm not on here as much, I start to feel like I'm crazy and when I try to talk to others they reassure me but don't really know I just need permission to feel this way and it be ok, not a solution. I love that y'all just sucks and it's ok to be stuck in that feeling sometimes.
