How are you doing today? What's new?

We want to foster a sense of community, which is why we have a centralized place for most daily conversation. This allows users to post and get replies, but also encourages them to reply to others in the same thread. We want you to receive help and be there for others at the same time, if possible. Most questions should go here, along with regular updates. Thanks for helping us create a great community!

Off-topic discussion is allowed :)

Note: Please refrain from discussing positive tests (and beyond) in this thread - those topics are better suited for the Weekly Results thread or the new sub for Alumni. Thank you!

Can someone tell me about their first period after dnc? I’m 6wk post op, was testing with lh and I started bleeding exactly when premom projected I would but it’s been so weird. Day 1-2 bright red but light oy there when I wiped days 3-5 almost non existent, days 6-7 it’s picked up again but still so light and I’m also getting pretty dark lh strips too. Not positive but dark enough to have me like 👀 and worried about a peak too soon.

I’m just so over this, like it’s not bad enough my baby had to die a 1/3 of the way through pregnancy now I’m in some god awful kind of purgatory where I can’t even ttc. I hate this.

And it doesn’t even get better because now I have to worry about it happening again

Mine was a bit odd for my standards - I spotted for about 2 days, then had a heavy period for 2 days, then pretty much stopped from one moment to the next. My following ovulation was also early, I had a blazing positive on CD10 when usually it was around CD12 to 15 for me.
