Another bfp this morning on a first response. Not even a shadow. Expect AF today or tomorrow so I'm pretty certain now I'm out this month :(

Down to you girls now for the next positive. X

Really not sure how i feel claire. no symptoms but hoping it's still too early. Not sure our timing was great but maybe the lower stress levels will help. Really hoping it's positive. And yours too (and kazz!)

£10.50 for 4 Kazz :)
Good luck with testing Claire and March!!!

Kazz2112 · 05/06/2015 20:02

How much are the 2 for 1st March? I get mine off ebay. £6.99 for 2. I definitely prefer first response tests.

clairemorgan81 · 05/06/2015 18:56

well I'm meant to start Mon (7dpo) but ahh the thought of it instantly makes me feel drained but I will probaby too impatient to hang on. I might start tues or wed.
how you feeling about this month March x

Kazz2112 · 05/06/2015 18:43

I don't have to test early but realistically I'll probably test early anyway! I'm going to hold out until Thursday (10dpo) I hope. 2 for 1 on frer at boots just now so I might get some for the early testing. How about you?

Sorry again kazz. It's so depressing to keep seeing that blank. I still holds out some hope. Defo try a frer tomorrow. You might still only be 10 today, so could still come up. One of the girls on the rmc board recently got first bfp on 16dpo!

Kazz2112 · 05/06/2015 09:11

Another BFN this morning. Cycle us usually 28-30dats and I'm day 28 today so it's looking like I'm out this month. Gutted. :( Gonna try a first response tomorrow to be sure x

Choccywoccydodah · 05/06/2015 06:21

Great news Louise!! And lovely scan piccy Smile Bet you still can't believe that is in there!

Girlie how shit :( as if it's not hard enough!! Nhs are really shocking sometimes. Hope the gp referral procedure is quick.

Claire glad your nephew arrived safely, hope you're ok.

All good here, last full day/night of holiday today before we leave tomorrow evening.
Looking forward to going home tbh, but upset this is our last night abroad with the 3 of us (obviously thrilled too lol, but you know what i mean!!) xx

Indiedog · 04/06/2015 16:55

If it is the same lady, I signed up to her trial, fell pregnant December and just over four weeks I MC so hadn't even got to contact her to start the support etc!!! It was two days before Xmas!
Then I just happened to ring and speak to Dr Cheong in January and she told me about the response trial so I swapped.
Glad they are lining you up with something else.
Xx

Grrr. That's really crap of them girlie, it's just the last thing you need when you're going through this. Hope you're gp is a bit better at getting a referral sorted.

OP posts:
Indiedog · 04/06/2015 14:26

Oh girlie that's rubbish. Best get on the gp's case then Wink!

Is this other trial with a lady initial S?

girliesaints · 04/06/2015 13:52

Unfortunately there's nothing a & j can do to pull any strings on this one as the aren't a clinical team. The Rmc
Nurse said it would be quicker to get the GP to do the referral rather than get the epu unit to admit the mistake. Unfortunately this is the second time the epu team have done this to me same issue after MC 3) so I have no confidence in them being able to referral even if they were to admit their mistake.

However the Rmc nurse seemed lovely and she's running a study on support for anxiety in future pregnancies following rmcs so I'm hoping to join that study in the future.

Indiedog · 04/06/2015 13:18

Girlie, that's rubbish. I would ring the EPU, and asked why they have discharged you, after all this is your ?th (forgive me I can't remember) Loss, and it is irrelevant that your were on the trial.
I would at least want an explanation, regardless if you do have to go back to the Gp. They wouldn't discharge anyone else!
Or just a thought, get A or J to speak to them, maybe they can pull a few strings and get you "reinstated" if you know what I mean.

Good luck, and argh too! Angry

girliesaints · 04/06/2015 13:07

Claire, congrats on becoming an aunt again, hope you're ok with it? Fingers crossed with the testing.

But peeved off today as RMC study nurse rang to introduce herself as Response team have passed over my details and during conversation found out the epu unit haven't referred me due to the Response trial and have discharged me. So have to get a referral from my GP back to the RMc clinic. One step forward, two steps back!

clairemorgan81 · 04/06/2015 11:58

kazz stay positive its still early days.

girlie not going to start testibg until early next week. my twin sis had a little boy on tues, Hes adorable. Hope everyone else is okay x
