Update from yesterday

[midwest07]

Thank you for your assistance in looking at my HPT photos yesterday.  It seems I was indeed pregnant, but for a very short time.  I started bleeding more heavily last night and cramping, and the HPT was negative this morning.  So it seems pretty clear it was an early miscarriage, around 19-20 days after conception (going by my O date, confirmed with OPKs and temps).  I called my doctor's office, and the nurse took my information.  They will call back and let me know if there is a reason to come in, I guess to check and make sure everything passed.

This is upsetting, especially because I was really looking forward to telling my H, but I already knew it probably wasn't going to stick when I told him.  But, on the other hand, this was our 5th cycle trying and I have had concerns about LPD (it is consistently 8 days), so just the fact I could actually get pregnant was somewhat positive.  When I spoke with the nurse, I told her I had been charting and had identified a LPD.  That, combined with the time we have been trying, my age (31) and this early miscarriage, she thought it was likely I could do a general fertility consult with my doctor.  I was about to call and see if I could schedule this anyway, so I guess it works out.

Question - I didn't really think to ask the nurse - so does this mean I am on my period now?  I am trying to figure out when to end the last cycle, and start CD 1, for purposes of charting my next cycle.

I am probably going to delete the contents of my other post, so I don't have to be reminded of my positive tests.

I'm sorry. That really sucks. Hopefully, your doctor can help you with the short LP.

I am so sorry. ((Hugs))

I would still count the first day of bleeding as CD1 like normal. (The day you need to protect your undies.)

I hope your doctor can give you some answers.

Again ((hugs))

so sorry to hear that.

((Hugs)) - I'm sorry. Did you tell your H? I'd imagine he would offer great comfort and support at this time.

So sorry to hear this.
I would probably count the newest bleeding as CD1, but I would start using OPKs based on your first bleeding, just to be sure I didn't miss the surge.

Thank you all.  I appreciate it.  My H is very supportive (though he says he has to stay strong for me, not sure what that means, ha!).  I wanted to wait and tell him tonight over our Valentine's dinner, but once I started to have issues last night, I told him.  Hopefully the next time it will be sticky and my announcement to him can be more exciting!

As a further update, my doctor is having me do a blood test tomorrow just to confirm things.  I also was able to get a consult set up with her in 2 weeks to discuss my cycles, LPD, etc.  I was surprised I could get in that soon, so I guess it kind of worked out to have all this happen to push me to get an appointment.
