Come one, come all, new and old, no-one wants to be here, but at least we're glad we've got each other :) Flowers

Hope your stay here is short.

Now, some BFPs if you please and BFNs for those who are waiting for them too!

I did another test which was positive but the symptoms have faded from yesterday so I expect this to go the way of the last 6.

Sorry not to be more joyful but my expectations are pretty much zero at this stage.

NoCatsHere · 25/07/2017 10:49

halloumi god thats so tough to make it to the dating scan again. I'm so sorry you are here again. Hope you are being well looked after at the moment.

stuck hope you get answers today - and make sure you push for them too. This is your body and this is such a wonderful thing to hopefylly be pregnant again, so they must take things seriously.

cd11 today and we managed to dtd last night which was good because i'm still trying not to make it obvious to DH when we need to. and we don't dtd very much...I know it only takes once, because the first mc i had we fell just having sex once that month, and way earlier than i thought was going to be helpful. So trying to keep that in mind and not stress about having sex every day in my fertile week. No positive on the opk yet but hoping stupid expensive clear blue ones turn up from amazon today. wonder how much money bloody amazon makes with crazy women ordering various sticks to piss on??!!!

AnneLovesGilbert · 25/07/2017 10:09

Oh halloumi, so very sorry to see you back here Sad

Hope you get some answers stuck! Glad you've got DH with you and are at home today.

Amazing news juniper Smile

AF is on its way out today. Been feeling pretty low the last few days. Can't believe it's nearly the end of July.

Hugs to everyone.

Stuckinstressville · 25/07/2017 08:50

Hi halloumi welcome! This sanctuary for emotional wrecks and twats have been super welcoming and supportive. Hope you are doing ok. By the way most are not Either wrecks or twats , but they are super nice to those like me who are v twatty.

No pain overnight just bad dreams :( so didn't epu but gp at 11 and know I will get thyroid test referral and a chat. Dh offered to join me and I took him up on this as normally bumble
To these things alone. Am off work today working at home as not sure I can cope with colleagues !

I also remembered I had a scan at cd 9 or something and remember they found empty womb so know I am not further along as they would have seen then I think. It was a proper rmc internal scoot around and I got given a clean bill of health in terms of ovaries etc and fibroids.

yellowfrontdoor · 25/07/2017 07:16

Oh Halloumi I'm so so sorry to see you here. Flowers I hope you're not on your own & someone's taking care of you.

Stress did you get an EPU appointment?

Juniper tentative congratulations... did you do another test?

halloumisandwich · 25/07/2017 00:00

Hi all, mind if I join? I was on here a few months ago, sadly currently miscarring again. Supposed to have my dating scan in the morning but I'll call up and see what they want me to do. This is my second miscarriage, first at nearly 11 weeks, this time just over 12 weeks. Gutted as we'd just about been starting to get excited and discuss how we were going to tell people. Hope you're all doing ok and hope none of us are here for too long.

Hang on, who asked about temping, I was going to reply.

I temp orally but I sometimes skip the period week mainly because I'm pissed off that it's here :o but also because you get no useful information from it anyway. It's usually spiky and doesn't tell you anything. Once the bleeding gets lighter I normally remember to start again and you can see them level out as the fertile week begins. I do sometimes worry I might forget for too long and then not have enough low temps to see ovulation but it's always been fine.

glad DH is with you stuck - good luck for your appointment tomorrow.

Step-no comment from gp as just had tests done locally for consultant didn't want to ask as I know that level is high and I didn't want to hear a receptionist say things which wouldn't be very helpful at all. I will know more on Thursday when I see the specialist I guess

Lime19 · 24/07/2017 21:02

Could be a multiple pregnancy? My last (twin) line showed up a good 7 days before which I did think was a bit odd...

Really hope it's a sticky one! Hope you have a restful night and get answers this week

Stuckinstressville · 24/07/2017 20:45

Lime I def had two negatives in April and dh just reminded me I had dildo can scan as per of the rmc on the 7th July so fairly sure it wasn't that. As was in cd 9 and she said it was empty.

Am 200 m from hospital so if I get pain again I will go- I have history of huge corpus luteum cysts too. Thank goodness dh is home to talk sense and not over thinking back to me. Am calm and zen like ... I was honesty a neurotic emotional twat earlier.

Thank you ladies for hand holding- bed now methinks.

StepAwayFromGoogle · 24/07/2017 20:35

Crikey, ladies, that's a lot of progress in a 24 hour period!

Stuck, that is an amazing amount of positive tests. Let us know how you get on with doctors/epu. Really cross they have been so sh*t to you. If it's any help I have been stalking following the 'pregnant after miscarriage' thread and loads of them had bleeds at the beginning (and are still pregnant).

MsJuniper, hope that line gets darker for you. Have everything crossed.

Starshine, what did the consultant/doctor say about your FSH levels? I assume they'd have recommendations. At least you'd hope they would. Don't know much about it but I'm waiting for the same results so it would be nice to know that they have some ideas!

Lime19 · 24/07/2017 20:31

Stuck, that certainly is a mystery. I'd be going to Drs with the ovary pain alone. Can you pay for a private scan not ideal but I find the NHS so painful sometimes it's the only way.

Did you get a negative test after your march lost? My friend had retained tissue you see after symptoms of pain and bleeding. The whole saga lasted months! She actually said she got a negative test one time but it became positive again a few days later.

Could call 111 and over emphasise the ovary pain. They may want to check for ectopic too?

Stuckinstressville · 24/07/2017 18:48

Bertie - you make a good point -
I had this as the reason for my epu in march which ended as twin mmc - so had an erpc.

Pain has gone so will see gp at 11 but see if I can get a epu
Appt too.

Sorry, THREE signs. Bleeding, pain, and a positive test.

In fact, since you've had ovary pain, I think I might even just recommend that you present yourself at A&E sharpish, as that's two signs (one sided abdominal pain + bleeding) of a potential ectopic pregnancy.

They should send you to EPU who might even be able to help with the thyroid issue if it turns out it's a pregnancy in the right place?

Stuck maybe your last period wasn't a period and you were already pregnant? Call EPU or GP and ask for a blood test/scan to see what's going on perhaps.

Sometimes bleeding can be nothing in early pregnancy. Gah it's so horrible being in limbo though isn't it?

You could call EPU and see if you can go in tonight or tomorrow. GP won't be able to do much urgent from there anyway.

emvy · 24/07/2017 18:32

I've just noticed the 3+ photo you posted. Contact your epu maybe? You'll need some answers either way and your gp probably won't be able to give you them?

Starshine1 · 24/07/2017 18:26

Oh stick- really hope this one is a sticky bean x

SJ88 · 24/07/2017 18:24

@Stuckinstressville crossing my fingers and toes everything is ok and this bean sticks. Xxx

emvy · 24/07/2017 18:12

Oh stuck I'm so sorry. I have everything crossed that it was just one of those things and it will all work out ok x

Bugger. Just had a huge bleed just now... not sure this bean will stick after all. Managed to get a gp for tomorrow but thinking it might be wishful thinking....

Starshine1 · 24/07/2017 15:38

Fingers crossed juniper for you!

Hope you have some joy from your gp stuck- that's crazy they can't fit you in! Congrats on he line though.

Need some advice ladies- I have had my FSH, lh and e2 measured this cycle, day 3- FSH has come back raised at 15- am now really starting to worry that either I now won't be able to fall pregnant or miscarriages are inevitable! Does anyone have any advice or ideas?

I am seeing specialist on Thursday who is going to scan my ovaries and I have ordered a home AMH test to see what that is- but am just now worried

thisismadness77 · 24/07/2017 15:06

SJ I also have a friend who lost her first child at full term, a daughter. She conceived 3 months later and has a second daughter now. It was a wonderful thing to hear. X

SJ88 · 24/07/2017 14:54

@Flashinthepan good luck for when you test.. sounds promising. So annoying thought that af and bfp symptoms are so similar!! Xx
