Okay, I called the nurse and left a message. Unfortunately she called back while I was driving my parents to the airport.<\/i> I pulled over to answer but then had to sit there on the phone and answer the nurse’s questions about “how much? Did it soak a pad? Was it bright red?” while I’m sitting there next to my father<\/i>. Now that may just be the most embarassing moment of my life right there. But, dad being dad, he pretended he hadn’t heard a thing and kept on talking about how it was good that I pulled over to answer my phone instead of driving at the same time and how that should be the law everywhere. (My parents know that we’re in the 2ww but I intentionally didn’t mention the bleeding to my mom, I didn’t want to get her freaked out. So much for that.) I can only hope that my answers were vague enough and that that’s all they heard.<\/p>\n
In any case, the nurse said that sometimes the progesterone suppositories can irritate the cervix and cause bleeding – they “get more calls about it than you’d think.” Of course at this point in time that doesn’t exactly reassure me. But she didn’t seem alarmed. Especially since it seems to have stopped this morning. When I got out of bed this morning I felt leaking and I freaked a little, but (TMI) it turned out just to be some progesterone cream from overnight leaking back out.<\/p>\n
So I guess there’s no need to freak out yet. 10dpo is a little late for implantation, but it could still happen. Or, more likely, it’s just my cervix getting irritated or something.<\/p>\n
But holy cow, I never understood how much panic some blood could induce. All I kept thinking was that my embryo had been flushed out. I can’t imagine how I’d have freaked had I actually been pregnant at the time. All you girls who have to deal with that in early pregnancy… shit. I just can’t imagine. I’d be parked on the OB’s door screaming, I think.<\/p>\n
Also, while I was on that phone call the receptionist from NewClinic called me back and apologised for not getting back to me yesterday but that we can take the IVF “class” just by watching the video online whenever, and she booked my appointment for August 10th. !! I thought she said they were booking for end of September\/beginning of October?? Yikes. Well, this messes up the timeline a little, since I won’t have my consult with my current RE until almost a month later! I don’t know if I should call to push back the talk or if I should just go and see what he has to say. We can’t start cycling again until I’d say at least October, depending on finances. But I always like to know the plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
