I wasn't really too sure where to post this. I need some suggestions...
Well, I thought this past month I would try one last time to conceive. I switched to Mucinex instead of Robitussin and drank (7) 12 oz. glasses of water a day along with my (3) 12 oz. glasses of milk. Yes, I was desperate...
Well, it was another month nothing short of disappointment. My cervical mucus was just as abnormal as ever. Actually, it was one of the worser months. I ovulated this past Monday. When I realized it, the tears just streamed down my face uncontrolably. Jake felt so bad and held me close for what seemed centuries. I was/am brokenhearted. <img src="i/expressions/brokenheart.gif" border="0">
So we talked about it. I told him everything I did this month, including guzzling plain water like it was going out style. And for those of you, I don't care for plain water at all. I was so determined to do as much right as possible - for nothing. Plus, I actually felt sick while on the Mucinex and ended up trashing it. I don't know how you people can take that??? I felt absolutely losey on it.
Anyway, I made a promise to myself and to him - TO START MOVING ON... That meant no more Robitussin, Mucinex, or anything else like it. No more crying and disappointment. No more "getting over it only to jump back on the baby bandwagon" a few days later. And to avoid the PREGNANCY SECTION more to avoid upset. TIME FOR CHANGE...
One of the most important changes was to start exercising again. I stopped 1.5 years ago when we decided to try and conceive. I was afraid it would have prevented me from conceiving. At the time, I was running 3.5 miles/ 5 days a week with an FEV1 of 75%.
Well, I started getting back in shape Wednesday. Now, I am considered a beginner so I only walked for 1 hour Wednesday and today. I messed with the speeds on the treadmill but never exceeded a brisk walk. Didn't do too bad, I guess - 2.85 miles. I use to do 3.5 miles in 40 minutes with mostly running. Anyway leading to my thread question, I noticed that both days after my workout that I had a pinkish discharge. Almost like spotting put not even that much. Also, I'm somewhat crampy afterwards for a few hours. I was thinking just maybe since I have such abnormal mucus down there that I was actually breaking stuff up and out down there. Does that make sense??? And "no", I'm not on the "baby bandwagon" again by any means. Do you think by working out it's breaking stuff up down there? I mentioned it to Jake today, who agrees with me.
When I worked out 2 years ago with the 3.5 miles, I did start to have two periods a month while on the pill. I was on the same pill for 10 years so my doctors weren't too sure if it was the pill or the workout. I ended up stopping the pill one month later to conceive so it didn't matter in the end. Plus, I stopped working out. My cycles are perfect so whatever was going on worked out in the end.
But I'm only walking now not running. I still think it is cleaning related vs. anything else. What do you think?<img src="i/expressions/rose.gif" border="0">
