Well, Its been since Mar 11 since starting FT's and have had no symptoms...until today. Well, actually it started yesterday..I had a normal BM but it had globs of mucous. Did not think to much about it. But today when I went, it was mucous mixed with blood...I am so upset about it. I was doing so well..I always cramp first and am not cramping yet. So that is different. I have been doing 2 FT's a week but will go ahead and up that. I have also been horrible about taking my Aza(Imuran)..I hope its not out of my system as I will continue with that. I have also quit my asacol which didn't seem to do much anyway.I used to always get flary before I started my period but the last 3 mos with FT's i have been fine. It is a few days before my period and I wonder if that makes a difference..I guess it really doesn't matter. Its still blood and mucous. So sad..looks like it will have to be a maintenance thing but more than twice a week? Jeeez! Thought I would let you guys know what's up.

I am very sorry to hear that Donna. How much blood was there? Is your BMs increasing?

I have found doing FT is a real roller coaster ride of ups and downs. I still see mucus with my son and all the way though even traces of blood now and again. He still has pain sometimes. I am hoping and praying this is all part of the healing process for him. All I'm saying is maybe it's a minor blip and all part of the healing process. If you can, try doing daily FTs again for a while.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Well, I did 3 FT's in a row and back to normal bm's. Guess this is something I may have to use as maintenance. It seems to keep me in remission if I continue at least twice a week..but if it goes much longer I start having symptoms..I so appreciate my husband's deposits but that makes me very dependent on him in so many ways. I think it would be tough on him as well..eventhough he would NEVER say that. Don't get me wrong, I would rather do this than harder drugs..I just hope his flora will overtake mine someday.

DB, that is a good idea..Don't know why I haven't even thought of that:)
