Seeing as how there was SO much to talk about on the original thread, here's a continuation.

Have copied and pasted the dates from the 2nd half of the list and added a couple more in that I could find with a quick check through. Massive apologies to anybody I've missed off or inadvertently overlooked.

Here's hoping for a few more BFPs in May?

squeaky sorry - cross posted.

I still have no symptoms. Confused The only evidence is late AF and Cb test.

Go on... POAS - you know you want to Grin

Oh Georgie, how dreadful for you. Sad You must be feeling so nervous.

The websites I looked at last time about hCG suggest every 48-72 hours is 'normal' but who's to say what is 'normal'. Another site I saw said that as long as the levels went up 60% in the same time period that was enough for some pregnancies.

I totally understand what you must be going through. What is your local EPU like? Are the staff sympathetic and helpful? I suspect they will do at least 3 or 4 sets of bloods before they can know anything definitive. There are lots of stories of positive outcomes - when I was going through the exact same thing in March a lovely MNer posted her stats which appeared too low, but she was 20 wks at the time, so it obviously worked for her.

Please keep us informed - this is a great place to vent your worries and concerns. I would say have a Wine but you can't so here's a Brew instead. Fingers very tightly crossed for you.

georgie fingers crossed all is ok and your bloods increase thinking of u

icequeen yep due AF on Wednesday - no symptoms at all Sad and have been avoiding testing by running to the loo as soon as I wake up to get rid of FMU! Will keep you updated though...

curiousgeorgie · 21/05/2012 14:25

That's great Kate!

On Friday night I went to A&E and had my levels checked which were 618...

Today I had my levels checked and are only 950... So not doubled, and they need me to come back...

Is this really bad news??? I just know I'm miscarrying again.

Thanks kitty, squeaky and curious. It's just so scary when you see it. I've decided I have to relax or it won't stand a chance, so have had a fun day.

Fx it dries up quickly, Curious.

curiousgeorgie · 20/05/2012 15:22

Kate - I'm having the exact same thing and am so worried!

But I just took a clearblue and it's changed to 3+ so hopefully the spotting is normal (although it's also how my miscarriage started too so I am frantic!)

Congrats Dexidoo!!!

squeakymac · 20/05/2012 13:19

Congrats dexidoo! icequeen if your tests r getting stronger it's reassuring fx it stops so you can relax!

winkle2 · 20/05/2012 12:55

dexidoo - that's great news, congrats.

kitty sorry it didn't work out for you this month. How frustrating.

TMI alert: I had some browny mucus last night when I wiped. Panic. I am due on today or tomorrow and had tested very early. Had a spare CB digital (always buy things in 2s!) so did that first thing this morning. It was showing 2-3 weeks, so I am guessing that the hormone level must have increased between Thursday and today. Am hoping upon hoping that it is just 'spotting' and nothing more serious - this is how my mc started off. Now worrying massively, which is what I promised myself I wouldn't do. Hmm

Well, I tested and got a BFP! Grin A 1-2 on CB digital. Grin

I am trying to be really positive about it, but am so incredibly nervous partly because it's still 3 days before AF is due and partly because of the mc last time. Don't really want to say it/type it/think it just in case AF does arrive. Confused

Please, please, please let this one stick. [emotive for massive look of concern]

curiousgeorgie · 18/05/2012 10:02

Twins????! I hope not!!!

My husband suggested 8 babies which is a very cheery thought! Haha....

How is everyone today? Anyone testing?
