Hey bigcakes .. im feeling better overall-have been telling myself that im sad because i knew i was pregnant and ttc- if I didn't maybe this would have just felt like a killer AF! Thinking more positively and waiting for the bleeding to go..the cramps have reduced greatly but have a very painful back and feel bruised down below from the poking around that happened...

How are you and everyone else getting along?

Thanks guys.. i feel awful-it just feels better to know I have some friends out there listening...

the whole thing was rather traumatic.. i woke about 3am the previous night with stabbing pains and went to the loo to find i was passing blood, by about 10 in the morning this increased and i was in severe pain, struggling to stand and pale in colour..went to a&e.. they checked internally and I could tell by then what what happening. They used the smear test thing to open me up and clean all the blood and lining etc from developing baby out...its left me feeling battered and bruised in side...there is still a good amount of cramping to top that feeling.

They put me on a drip before the scan and bloods confirmed the miscarriage.

I feel crap..hubby has been really good and I know it's better now than carrying baby around for a while and happening later..but still- my body was creating a home for this little life and changing to accommodate it and all that bought so much happiness! I feel a little cheated over it all..

Hi ladies..thought id write here as no one to turn to..all our close friends are not in this country..I feel alone.

Anyway, experienced really bad cramps last night and bleeding. Hospital has advised that hormone levels in blood are very low and internal smear like exam suggests miscarriage..feel really awful and can't stop blaming myself for what's happening to me. I have a scan at 3 to confirm this Sad

Congrats @hanna87 and @RoxyDancer that's amazing news!! Hope are you both feeling?

AF turned up for me today.....15 days late! Feel a bit relieved if I'm honest as I can now start afresh next month. Not sure why I was getting a positive opk reading....my body has been messing with me!

RoxyDancer · 25/03/2017 17:09

Congrats to @SausageBrain and @hanna87
Sorry I have been missing from group. My AF was nearly two weeks late and had a few bfn so I presumed I was out. Decided to test again Thursday and got a line so tested with a clearblue digital and it said pregnant 1-2 weeks!!! Absolutely delighted but still doesn't feel real!!
Fingers crossed for everyone else that you get your BFP soon Flowers

Afternoon ladies..so to update you on how things are... i tested again this morning and got my first BFP😊😁😊
Highly excited, and confirmed it just now with a FRER! Cant believe it😊

SausageBrain · 24/03/2017 08:03

Thank you all so much for your kind words. It's going to take a while to sink in i think! I took a frer with fmu this morning and a definite line came up on that too although it wasn't as dark as what i would have expected at 15dpo, it took about half an hour to darken to what is in the picture but trying not to worry too much am completely obssessing. I'll try again in a couple of days to see if the line has got any darker, I've got some clearblue digis to try too (gone a bit mental spending a small fortune on pregnancy tests in my shocked state Shock) but don't want to take one in case it says "not pregnant". I'll try that one in a few days too, might start to believe it if i can see the words in front of me "pregnant".

hana - have been thinking of how you've been getting on. sorry about all the bfn's so far.....what is af doing to you?!?! fingers crossed your bfp shows up in the next couple of days. which tests are you using? same for you too wanttogoingto - how frustrating!! so bloody stressful!!! Angry

fayemay - how strange af just never turned up, she can be a bit of a vindictive cow sometimes just to mess with our heads! Shock hope you and infinity both get positive opks soon.

Much love and luck to everyone Flowers

Hi @bigcakes  sorry to hear about the GP practice..shame they don't always sympathise with our emotions!

A HUGE Congratulations 🍼 to @SausageBrain!! So happy & excited for you!

Have tested again -about 6 times 😱 as expected a bfn..OH would have a hernia if he found out..so going a little bit crazy 😜 AF is due, but not here today (yet)! Ttc is quite maddening iykwim Winkhubby thinks im mad..but just excited at the thought of becoming a mummy.

Have been thinking about you @Fayemay27 ! Glad to hear that ur still ovulating and fingers crossed for a positive soon..

InfinityPlus · 23/03/2017 19:27

Using OPKs and all are coming back negative. Not sure if this is because the merina withdrawal bleed is considered af, though online research suggests not. However if not really followed the instructions and have been testing with first pee of the day. Is this an issue or does it not matter?

WantToGoingTo · 23/03/2017 19:26

Congratulations sausage!

Af due today but no sign. A little cramping this evening but may be imagining it. Did a test yesterday and was bfn. I hate the waiting!!

Sazwest · 23/03/2017 19:14

Keep us updated @SausageBrain

Fayemay27 · 23/03/2017 19:03

Hi ladies!

I've been MIA due to being ridiculously busy at work. Still no AF but been using opk's and got a positive yesterday so I guess it was one of those things. Glad it seems I'm still ovulating. Il keep tracking opk's over the next few days too.

Congratulations @SausageBrain that's great news!

SausageBrain · 23/03/2017 14:10

Thanks Saz and Infinity! Can't believe it at all, absolutely in shock, definitely thought i was out this month! Nearly fell off my perch the toilet when i saw the cross in the test window!

Think I'm just paranoid because I don't feel pregnant, I don't really have any symptoms. When i was pregnant with ds i had tonnes of symptoms that made me test, although he was a surprise so think I tested about a week after af was due on. I had hyperemesis with him too so felt sick v.early on before i got my bfp but feel fine at the moment.

I don't have cramps like i would normally at af time but i do keep getting tugging, pinching pains in ovary region which are contributing to my paranoia i think. Hmm

Anyway, i popped to boots and got a couple of frer's so i can try one of those in the morning and see!

InfinityPlus · 23/03/2017 13:43

@SausageBrain congratulations we're meant for you

@bigcakes I'm so sorry about you GP visit.

Sazwest · 23/03/2017 13:22

That's definitely a positive xx

SausageBrain · 23/03/2017 13:21

Thanks saz. I'm getting all worked up now over-scrutinizing it, thinking it might be a false positive because the line that goes down doesn't look as strong as the line that's going across. Confused

I'm going to nip out and get a first response for the morning, hopefully that will clear things up.

InfinityPlus · 23/03/2017 13:06

@bigcakes congratulations to you. I'm sure the rest is correct. Smile

Sazwest · 23/03/2017 12:59

@SausageBrain I definitely would say that's a huge BFP 🙂🙂. Congratulations lovely xx

SausageBrain · 23/03/2017 12:06

Oh bigcakes, I'm sorry gp was useless. Was it that she didn't see what the problem was as you've already conceived your DS despite your history? Did she have any advice for you at all? I'm sorry af showed her horrible face today but at least it's given you some reassurance that everything is working as it should be!

So, i did my test and think i got bfp?!?! ShockShockHmm

I've attached a pic as can't quite believe it! Plus it was only a sainsbury's cheapie so may not be reliable?!?! Think i will try a proper brand name one tomorrow & see what it says!
