This post relates to: AF BFN BFP cramping fertility HPT OB ovulate spotting

Don't like what you see on this chart?

I'm brand new to this site... I've been using fertility friend, but didn't know this was here!! I love that the message boards are so current. A little background... I started charting February 25, 2010. I found out that apparently I have REALLY long cycles, boo, and didn't ovulate until day 33. I ended up spotting for 7 days (does this happen to anyone else??) before I finally got AF on day 45. Next cycle began April 11, I O'ed on day 29, and soon after got a BFP, but ended up having a missed miscarriage and d&c on June 15. I bled lightly for a day or so, then spotted for the next 10 days. Just a little cramping, nothing major. I started charting my temps as soon as the bleeding stopped bc doc gave me the okay. I have included the chart in this message... I O'ed on day 31, which was July 15. Soon after, I had bloating, then started spotting and was in a TERRIBLE mood for two days (figured AF was coming). The spotting has not stopped! It's been six days now, and the spotting has gone from light brown to dark brown. It started off only noticeable while wiping, but eventually got to the point where I needed a liner, and today it seems to have slowed down again. I was thinking, okay, my Feb 25 cycle, I did spot for 7 days but it led to my period, and during the time, my temp declined each day. I'm confused today b/c it doesn't seem to be leading to AF anymore (since it's lightening up again, and my temps are still high??). I took HPT this morning, it was BFN. I'm nervous b/c I have read that light periods after D&C or lack of a period can mean that you have scarring, which can lead to infertility. I have surfed the web ALL day today looking for anything to get a clue that what I'm experiencing has happened to others and is fine, or is to be expected, but I'm not getting much. So, does anyone have any insight or thoughts? I'm sorry this message is so long :( Thanks!!

Welcome Coylee33! You have entered a world of supportive ladies. I wouldn't worry too much about posting 3 times. I don't think there is a way you can delete it.

I'm not sure about the D&C... I would give it another cycle or two before you worry... Your body may still be recuperating. Have you been able to speak to your doctor about it?

Thank you LTJ for the warm welcome and reply! :) I'm really excited to have found this site. I have not talked to my doctor yet, I want to wait until early next week to see what happens... I'm hoping AF just shows up in the next few days and then I'm not going to worry about it.

I have just had a D&C 13 days ago. My OB told me to expect a bit of a messed up cycle for a month or two. So i wouldn't worry too much. But if you are concerned you could always call your OB. Good luck!
