An update...

Well... Not much has changed since I last posted, thus why I haven't had anything to write. The frustration continues. I'm now on CD26 of cycle #3 since the miscarriage. This cycle has felt more normal and I think I may have actually
Ovulated so started off very hopeful... Unfortunately today at 10dpo I started having period-like cramps just like on 10dpo of cycle #2 so I'm pretty much just waiting for my period now. 

While at my son's 18 month checkup my doc asked me if I was pregnant again yet. Of course the answer is no... And I told her my cycles have been all over the place and I am not even certain if I've been ovulating. So she double checked my test results because she said my hcg levels were basically zero last time so it's probably not due to the miscarriage... Except when she checked the actual level at last test date in July was 66.... Sigh.... So that could explain the bleeding in July.... And the extra long second cycle. She also said that since I was pregnant, my thyroid could be messed up again. So off I went today to test my beta, thyroid and iron again. I got the requisition last Wednesday and waited until today to do it because I figured then if by any luck I am pregnant then the beta would pick it up and if not, either way it will put me out of my misery of waiting until my expected period. 

I may still try out a dollar store test tomorrow morning... Just because I'm going crazy waiting and for $1.50 I can't resist...although I know they're not as sensitive as the FRs. That is if AF doesn't arrive before then. 

Please send positive vibes my way for a healthy, sticky little bean ASAP. 

Apologies that I've been so whiny lately... I am trying hard to be positive most of the time, trying not to let it affect my interactions with my son and my husband or at work, so I need this outlet to blow off steam from time to time, especially on the low days like when I have period like cramps all day long... Which not only points to a BFN but also a very short LP. Hopefully things will turn around soon!
