Sorry if this sounds very choppy and to the point, I'm just really confused about what's going on with my body. I had a d&e on June 4 from fetal demise. I was 18 weeks along. I had my first AF on July 10, that was when real flow started, but the two days before I had a bit of spotting. So we have been TTC, and from July 20 to the 25 we tried. I think it's a little early cause pre d&e my cycles would average at 31 days, but I thought maybe it would be shorter due to things kicking back in. We've stopped cause I'm sick of sex :) But yesterday I noticed a little blood when I wiped, and once again in the toilet. Just a small amount.I usually don't test for CM, but if there wasn't any blood in it then I would say it was the stretchy egg white kind. The other times I've just known it was there cause I actually checked, so nothing on my undies or anything. That would be cycle day 17, and 18 for me. So I'm kind of confused...Implantation bleeding? Incredibly early period? Something to do with d&e? Any input would be great, cause I am really confused.

I'm sorry that your pregnancy ended with a d&e, especially so late. My heart goes out to you! How scary it must be for you to be back TTC. As for the blood in EWCM, it's possible that it meant you were very fertile at that moment. I have read that there can be blood in your CM just before O. I know I experienced it one month, but have not experienced since. However, it is very easy to miss! Just a tiny bit of red blood mixed with CM. Do you know when you Od? If you had already O'd it could be implantation, if it was around 7-10DPO.

Good luck to you!

Hi Tanja. So sorry to hear about your loss. I think it's great that you're trying again. I would really contact my doctor if I were you and even go in for a pelvic exam. Not that I think anything's wrong but just to be sure that there isn't any inflammation or infection or disruption to the site so soon after the procedure. Perhaps it was just a little irritated after BD'ing. That can happen to someone who's NOT had any type of procedure done. Take it easy for awhile and allow yourself to heal both body and soul. And check with your doctor so you can be sure there's nothing that's going to get in the way of you TTc again. Best of luck to you...

Tanja,

I’m sorry to hear about your loss.

I agree with Christy. I had this happen to me this month. I had a small amount of blood mixed with EW right before I Oed. It happened about 4 hours before had. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!
