Hello Ladies,
I could really use your help. I had a natural m/c on 4/18/05 and I had bleeding for 3 weeks and then a couple days off and then AF come again and she stayed for 3 weeks. Then I called the ob and he put me on estrogen (premarin 1.25mg) fro 3 weeks. It stopped the bleeding and I started to chart for the first time. My temps are so crazy looking I don't know what to think. I get stressed out every time I look at them. I did some opk and all of them had 2 lines on them. They were not all dark but I think I had a day where they were both dark. It has been 6 days since the pos opk.
Can someone look at my chart and help me with it. Also I think I'm going to stop the estrogen today. If I'm not pg af should come and then maybe I could have a normal cycle. What do you ladies think. Is this a good idea? The Ob said that I needed the estrogen because some lining needed to be built back up and the estrogen would do that. I have taken 12 pills so I hope that is enough.
The main thing is did I ovulate or not? I I just cant handle the charts.
I will appreciate any help on this. Thanks Amy

Steph,
Glad to hear that you are doing good. I have my days. It has been hard for me to stop thinking about what could of been or should of been. I go to bed and all I can think about is the baby we lost. I still cry prob once a day. I never new this was so hard. I just want to be able to go on and it is not getting any easier. I dont know what to do some days. I should be 6 months now with a big belly and it still hurts that its not there. Enough about me I hope you had a good weekend. Take care Amy

Looking at your chart I would say maybe? It is hard to say until you start a new cycle because fertilty friend is saying right now that you didn't. try hard not to enter data that isn't at the same time. I usually adjusted my temp if I took it at a different time. There is an area that will show you how. Plus an area that will actually adjust it for you.
If you have any ?'s let me know.
Take care

I have made my mind up that I am not going to take anymore estrogen. I hope Af stays away. Amy

Amy,
I am so sorry, I don't know anything about charting. But I did want to send a HUG. Your quote "I dont know what to do some days. I should be 6 months now with a big belly and it still hurts that its not there" made me cry at work yesterday. I can't tell you how many times I felt that way. It took me a whole year to mentally prepare to TTC again. I had to shed the sadness and anger somehow. Believe me it was very very hard. I have a nephew I barely know (he's 1 now) b/c he was born 2 mos. after my due date and I never allowed myself to bond with SIL or the baby. But I had to do things my way and allow my grieving process to be complete.
Anyway I wanted you to know I am thinking of you and Steph and everyone who is new to this pain. We have all been there.
HUGS!
Kris

Hello Ladies,
Kris I'm sorry I made you cry. I just have some bad days and that is how I feel when I have thouse days. Thank you for the hug. I need them lots. The ladies on here have been great. I don't know what I would of done if I had not found this site. I was given this book one day when I was having a really bad day and it is about permission to grieve and it says that sometime it helps if you put together a memory box or small grave marker. My dh dad died last year and we go take care of the grave and flowers so I put a few things on his grave for my angel baby and when we go there it helps me because I can say goodbye to him everyday when we are there. It doesnt make the pain go away but it helps to know that he is with God. Enough of the sad stuff.
On to better news. I did not take my estrogen last night. I feel good about not taking it. Anyone with any idea when AF might come back? How long before I should start pg testing if she doesnt come back? If I'm not pg now I just want AF to come back where my system can get back on track and I can feel somewhat normal again.

I am glad that you are feeling better. As far as the estrogen I don't know how it affects charting and af. I am sure it must somehow. I think that once you are charting and things are a little closer to normal that you will have a better idea on the charts and so will ff.
Keep us posted. ((((((((((hugs)))))))))
