TTC after a miscarriage - Ready to try again, we can do it this time!!!

Maddy- What a bugger!!! . Try to relax hun and take it easy.

Your welcome Maddyd! Anytime - thats what we're here for XXX

HK - still crossing everything!!

I'm panicking now! What if I was? All this pain and gunk would'nt be any good. Right, as soon as I get paid, off to Sainsburys I go.

Thanks Pee pee and cotahanger feel a bit better about the tests now. Im off for a bath to pass time before my phone call. Thank you so much girls, this really has got to be the most stressfull year for me, for us all. But as you say its not over yet. Stay closed cervix and all should be well.

Guess what. No sex allowed either

All this talk of weak tests and false positives is getting my hopes up! Both tests I did were late afternoon time. Think I'll do another one and test with morning wee. Would explain lack of heavy af, weird spotting etc. Hmmm think I'll be taking a trip out tomorrow.

Can't go wrong with good ol' clear blue!! Although the Predictor ones are quite good too!

there are some tests that can test 10miul and some 25 but most on the shelve test for 50 which should show positive from your due date. i did a cheap one last year from savers and it was negative and with the same wee i did an early one from the internet which was positive. all very confusing

The test he did on me was a little dip stick. It should,ve had 2 red lines at the end of it to show a positive instead it only showed one. Mind u he had to dip it twice cos he never had enough wee on it first time round.

Perhaps there's a faulty batch of hospital PG test doing the rounds! I deffo don't think they are any different to those you but on the shelves. Peepee it probably is that your pee was too dilute, you will get a positive tomorrow

Maddyd,

I have jsut come back from my Gp who did a p/g test and that too was negative. Mine was positive yesterday morning. He said it could b cos my urine is diluted as it is quite late in the day. I have been peeing loads today.
I have to do another urine sample first thing in the morning and take it to him.Aparently HCG levels are at their highest first thing in the morning. If it is negative again he is going to do bloods to check my HCG levels. If it is positive i will have to go straight to the clinic. Not to the EPU though just to recurrent m/c clinic as b 4.
Try and think positive until u r told for sure.

I think its a myth that the hospital test are more sensitive

Yes it was coathanger. I just checked my test again and its a clear blue one and its a definate posotive although faint. Im def not seeing things

Maddyd - did the hospital use one of those little square tests? I was given a test by a Sexual Health Nurse that i know andit was one of the ones they use in hosp and I got a neg. But on the same day a first response gave me a positive

I know that is good but i feel so negative as thier tests are really sensitive.

Thaks for the chart slinkash but i dont really understand this hormone level thing. What am i looking for, the doc says needs to be aroung 8,000

Maddy- Poor you hun! Well fingers, legs, arms everything crossed. Thank goodness the bleeding's eased and your cevix is closed.

there is a chart on this website showing what hgc levels should be for how many weeks pg. you can compare when you get your blood results later at least you might get some idea whether you have normal levels or not.
www.advancedfertility.com/earlypre.htm

maddyd- maybe your strong positives were done in the morning so wee stronger - that would explain why they are faint when you do them in afternoon.
well blood tests will show whats going on so fingers crossed all ok at 7pm

Maddyd - i'm so sorry you don't know yet either way. I think you should keep positive - like you say its a good sign that you have stopped bleeding and your cervix is closed. Maybe all is okay after all Keep yer legs crossed Hun! lots of love hunni {{{{XXX}}}}

thats awful about nell mcandrew, i had a friend who had a termination for abnormalities aparently the baby had an extra chromasome or something- it was all a nightmare for her.

diddle- it is a bit early to test about 4 or 5 days before af due, but the test i have got is a early one.

Afternoon everyone sorry not been in reporting earlier but been at a friends this afternoon trying to take my mind off it all.

The news is they wouldnt scan because im only 5+5 and need to be over 6 weeks for them to detect a heart beat so either way i would have to go back.

The second is that thier pg test came up negative. Total but it was a very weak wee as was told didnt need a full bladder and i drink loads of water. Just done another test after holding wee for nearly three hours and there is a very faint posotive but very faint so either way i would say my hormone levels are dropping as my posotiives before were strong.

Thats the negative news.

On a posotive note my bleeding has nearly stopped and apparentley my cervix is closed.

I have had a blood test to check my hormone levels and if around 8,000 they then repeat in 48hrs and then scan next week if they go up. I have to phone the epu at 7pm for results.

So basically im left not knowing what to think.

(just gonna copy this for the pg after miscarriage thread as to tired to type again)

Did you hear about poor Nell Mcandrew? You know the model/presenter. Poor love had to have a termination due to severe abnormalities.
