Sixth Form Common Room part IV - ttc and pregnancy post mc

Moomin if you got a negative test when you did, it certainly sounds to me like this is a new pregnancy and not hormones hanging around from the old one. Good luck on Friday -- I'm sure everything will be fine!

Tomboy, despite there being retained products- I actually got a negative about 3 weeks after ERPC. This was confirmed by GP when I went to see her on 7th December. It had crossed my mind though that maybe the those tests were less sensitive than the Tesco ones I used yesterday and today- and in actual fact I'm still picking up tiny amounts of HGC from the miscarriage! Will see if anything comes to light at the pelvic scan on Friday- obviously it would be far too early to see anything I was pregnant, but if there are still retained products, they might show.

Sorry you felt so horrible last week, I keep thinking about my due date in April, and really hoping that I'll have a viable pregnancy by then! It's so hard to imagine actually having a pregnancy that goes to full term.

Hooray Amandine, you must be so relieved!

Moomin, out of curiosity, did you get a negative test after your mc finally resolved? Keeping everything crossed for you that you get a nice strong positive on Friday!

Nothing new from me. My due date came and went last week and I was a bit of a depressed, short-tempered mess for a few days. DH and I have both been fairly blue in general. I think hitting the 2-year mark of TTC has been rather a blow. (And as far as we know, there's nothing actually wrong with either of us. It's just various combinations of stress-induced anovulation and bad luck.)

Thanks Ladies, although I'm not counting myself as really pregnant yet. I had another faint positive this morning, but it was even fainter than the first. Just hoping that it's too early, but as I did have a bit of a bleed last week and am still having light brown discharge, I expect it all to be over almost as soon as it has begun. I'm going to re-test on Friday.

Great news Amandine, what a relief!

Great news Amandine!

Yay amandine great news!

Congratulations to moomin as well - hope the EPU can reassure you x

Any news from moonin?

Just come out of scan, everything is fine, the bleeding is from a little bruise but no where near the baby and there's just one! . I'm thinking I'll stop the aspirin though.

Congrats Moomin, really hoping you have a nice strong positive this morning!

Good luck today Amandine, let us know how you get on. xx

Good luck today amadine fingers crossed all is ok x

Thanks, if it's positive, I might give it a week until I'm at least 5 weeks, and then see GP. They haven't been exactly brilliant in the past, and know that even if I am bleeding, they won't refer me to the EPU until 6 weeks. Really want to avoid that place at all costs!!

Congratulations moomin . Good luck with tomorrows test. If it's positive it may be worth a trip to the GP?

Fingers crossed for you tomorrow, Amandine. Really hope everything is ok.

Well, I did a pregnancy test when I got home from work, and sure enough, a very faint positive. Now I'm scared stiff. Trying not to get my hopes up, am still spotting brownish discharge, and it would be very early days (3+5). I know it seems ridiculously early to have even tested, but I felt so similar to last time, although I was in France, and had to wait until I was a few days late to test. So scared that if this is definitely a positive (will retest in the morning to certainty), that things will go t* up again. The line is so incredibly faint (not an evap line though), that it may possibly be a chemical pregnancy, and I fully expect it to have disappeared by the morning. Will keep you all posted.

I'm becoming nervous for the big S tomorrow, mainly dreading going back to the corridor epu

Hope everything is ok, Amandine, keeping everything crossed for you.

I'm even more unsure of where I am with things now. I started what appeared to be my period late Tuesday night (my birthday!!)/ Wednesday morning. It has gone on since then (although seems to have pretty much ground to a halt), and was much, much lighter than usual- I usually have moderately heavy, 8ish day periods. I know that it is probably things settling down still, but niggling away in the back of my mind is that the last time I had what seemed to be a period at the right time, but much lighter, was when I was actually pregnant, but then went on to have a MMC. I have no symptoms, except for feeling tired (but this isn't surprising working full-time with 3 DCs!), but if I WAS pregnant, I think I would only just be about 4 weeks. I wasn't going to test, but have just ordered a couple of cheap pregnancy tests with the weekly online shop, more to rule it out than anything. In any case, I've finally got the appointment for my pelvic ultrasound scan (following passing retained products 2 months after ERPC!) for Friday, so I might know what is going on then.

Hope everyone else is ok!

Keeping everything crossed for you Tina / AP. So sorry you're having to go through all this scary stressful crap again.

Tina / AP i've just seen this..... hope it's all ok and nothing to worry about - keeping everything crossed for you, big hugs x

I'll be keeping everything crossed for you, the test and the symptoms sound really positive so please try not to worry too much and try and enjoy your trip. Let us know how you get on. xx

The GP was really nice. He phoned EPU twice to get them to see me tomorrow but they won't until I'm 6 weeks. And as I'm 6 weeks on Saturday and we'll be in France I've got to wait until Tuesday . I still feel pregnant, I've had a strong positive on a test today and it's stopped now but I can't help worrying. With dd the pattern was the same so dh is on the optimistic side but I really don't think I can go through all that again. The thought of waiting in that epu reduces me to tears

Any news Amandine? I really hope it's just bean burrowing in nicely. Thinking of you. xx

Well, it starts...pink then brown cm. I'm waiting for the gp to phone back. I just can't do this again. Plus we're meant to be visiting the inlaws in France tomorrow

Waves to mill

Sorry to hear that tomboy

I'm a little bit excited to be feeling sick. I've also got my typical pregnancy attitude to food - I really don't feel like eating then all of a sudden I'm STARVING and need to eat NOW. And I want junk - I dug some ancient waffles out of the freezer that have sat there since my last pregnancy to eat with beans and cheese . Why do I always want rubbish when I'm pregnant?!

Well, AF turned up this morning, so my Spidey Sense was right. This cycle was a couple of days too short, but compared to the previous one which was something like 6 weeks too long, I'll take a couple of days too short.
