Hi everyone,

Trying to conceive baby #2 for about a year and keep miscarrying. Last one six weeks ago was the last straw and decided to just take a break.

But dtd once just after I stopped bleeding about 2 weeks ago.

My breasts feel really swollen and my bra feels too tight, and I'm exhausted. 9 hours sleep last night and 2 hours this afternoon while my DD napped. I've had niggly pains, lots of white cervical mucus and absolutely no brown blood (which I got before every positive that ended in a miscarriage but not with my DD)

I took a clearblue digital this afternoon and it said not pregnant.

I just feel really pregnant. No idea when period is due really but I think around now.

I'm going crazy. If it was you would you pop out and buy a first response now? (or do they not work in the evenings?)

Hi georgie So sorry to hear about all your losses. I don't really know what to advise. If it was me I think I would use fmu, if it comes up negative tonight you probably won't believe it and it will be wasted cash.

I really hope it is positive though. Fx

Best of luck to you. If its good news I hope you are able to get some help as to why you keep having m/c. My friend (who got help though not sure exactly what) was at the end of here tether having lost 5 in a row - one at 24 weeks -two and a half years later she's just given birth to her 2nd dc.
Agree with when she was. If you recognise the signs from last time it sounds promising. So many people seem to say they get pg when they are not expecting it I am thinking about giving up thinking about it, of course it's not that simple.

Hi Georgie, sorry to hear of your MCs, I've had two in the last few months and it is heartbreaking.
I'm not an expert, but I would think it still could be possible you are pregnant. If you dtd once 2 weeks ago, you may not have ovulated till a few days later .Your husband's sperm would still be present, so conception might not have occurred till a few days after you dtd, in which case maybe the HCG level would still be too low to be detected by the pregnancy test?
The level is higher when the urine is more concentrated so testing in the morning could be more accurate,if I was you I'd try to wait a few days and if still no AF test again.
Fingers crossed and good luck!
