Louise af is due Sun or Mon I think.
I'm 10dpo. ive never tested before af before and at least then you have a pretty certain answer one way or another. this testing so early is so draining and cos it's fmu it sets me up feeling rubbish for the day. I know the reasons for testing so early and I'm sure when a bfp turns up its more than worth it. I'm really sorry I'm moaning. I know you other ladies are having a far worse time x

Sorry about bfn claire. I'm the same, but not expecting a positive on those tests til at least 12dpo because they aren't very sensitive. (I'm only 9dpo today and never had a bfp before 11dpo). There's still time for you but totally understand that stress getting to you.

sorry no positive news here. bfn again I think I'm def out this month. I'm beginning to wonder if this trial is for me. the pregnancy testing so early is just making me depressed. I can't help but feel like my whole month is consumed with this.

Joy, sorry to hear it wasn't better news. What time are you at the EPU tomorrow? I'm there at 10.30am.

Louise, hope the bleeding has settled down.

No more bleeding here but not that hopeful as symptoms have disappeared over last few days. Consoling myself with pizza tonight

I'm losing my mind ha !
It was quite abit now it's only really when I wipe. I'm at work but just want to go home to bed.
I might give them a call I'm in two minds I want a scan sooner but at the same time I'm so scared I want to cancel Friday's and just wait it out :(

clairemorgan81 · 12/05/2015 13:47

how you doing Louise? how's bleeding x

sizethree · 12/05/2015 13:32

Louise sorry to hear that. Was it red or brown? How much was there and are you still bleeding? I think you should call the Response team as Friday is still a while away, and I'm sure you will want to be seen as soon as possible. Wishing you lots of positive vibes.

LouiseM1987 · 12/05/2015 13:24

I've had a bit of a bleed this morning :(

Choccywoccydodah · 12/05/2015 11:31

From what I gather Louise.
I'm sorry you're having pains still :( So shit you can't get in before x

LouiseM1987 · 12/05/2015 08:30

Choccy do they do it for free then if the trial isn't successful ? I'm in the frame of mind it's over so that's good news if it's free !
Pains still there so just trying to wait till Friday I'm hoping I can get the tablets straight away and not have to wait a couple more weeks. I think I'm going to have a break from trying after this is over the past year has been too much.
How are you ? Xx

Choccywoccydodah · 12/05/2015 08:18

I opted out of the test. Prof Q had already prescribed me cyclogest (progesterone) after my 3rd loss to use for 3 months. I lost 3 more then they offered me the nk. We always said we'd not do anything we had to pay for as we could see it spiralling out of control. If we had no nk answer, then you'd pay for something else etc...
I'm so glad I'm near Coventry for all this treatment. The ladies that have not been successful on the response trial are then being offered the nk test as part of the follow up which I think is absolutely fantastic, it still then gives you hope.
I really hope you get the outcome you deserve March xx

How are you feeling Louise?

Any more blood girlie? So glad it stopped yesterday.

LouiseM1987 · 12/05/2015 08:07

I think that's next on my to do list get my levels checked. Can they check your progesterone levels too to see if they are low? X

I think one of the girls is having it done somewhere in Yorkshire, but there aren't many places that test the uterine ones. I think the are several private clinics that test blood nk, but there are conflicting views on which is more accurate/relevant

Wow! That's a lot to take in but will probably reread wheisny mind isn't befuddled from marking exam questions. Is it only Coventry you can pay for the screeninG? I'm in Manchester. At St Marys for the trial

LouiseM1987 · 11/05/2015 21:26

That's really interesting thanks March !
Coventry is not the best city but I'm bloody glad I live there now knowing how good the clinic is ! I've always heard how people from all over come to Coventry for treatment but I didn't realize they are the only ones to try new things like that :) pretty proud lol xx
