TTC after MC - September 2020 (Thread 13)

@MinnieMouse4 No it wasmt FMU it was middle of the day :) I've just done another cheap test with 2nd urine and I think I am roughly 11dpo today...xx

@KatiePlus3 was that with FMU? Not sure whether to wait out the 48hrs for the HCG to increase or whether I will cave and test tomorrow haha xx

@MinnieMouse4 I tested at 10dpo and got a very clear line on an FRER xx

Ooh yeah I get you girl @Firevie it’s hard not to read too much into everything isn’t it. Haha that’s what I meant with when will you test...like when actually will you test though, even though you currently say next week haha.

This is the first month where I’ve ruled any little thing out, whereas usually I’m ruling them all in. Feel so relaxed this month about symptom spotting etc but not I’m not gunna lie I’m a lil disheartened about the stark whites (even though I know they’re not early 😂). Think it’s the emotion of it now being pregnancy loss week too xxx

@HappyVibes @Firevie

I do have one in the house. When do you think I should test? I’m 10dpo at the mo and AF isn’t due until Tuesday/Wednesday xx

@MinnieMouse4 ooh get a FRER!! Exciting!
@HappyVibes haha still pat on your shoulder! Not sure I would like to think to wait until early next week I think but let’s see for now I’m taking it day for day. Had a bit of cramping this morning when I woke up. Better now. And I think I have creamy CM but it’s hard to tell because I’m taking those progesterone pessaries also so may be cm mixed with progesterone haha. Xx

@MinnieMouse4 I think I can see a second line on the second photo you know girl!!! Eek. Get an FRER!!

@Firevie haha I dunno I’ve still tested ha just not with earlys (backwards really ha but it’s all we had in). Ooh when you gunna wait out till xxx

@HappyVibes yay well done for holding out! That’s great and fingers crossed a good sign! I’m 11dpo today, af due tmr/Sunday so I think. Let’s see. Also trying to go with the flow but oh is convinced I’m stressing out and is getting annoyed with me. I don’t think I’m stressing but I guess subconsciously I am...🤷🏽‍♀️

Morning All

@VP91x sorry to hear what you have have had to go through at your gynae appointment. Some people have become so desensitised to their jobs that they just become so dismissive and cold. Sounds like they need some patient care training! Xx

@Northernsoul90 I’m sorry that today was a bfn. Fingers crossed you will see some good progression on your next test. ERFR sounds like the best bet xx

Well today I am 10dpo and I have taken a cheap 99p test with FMU. Can anyone else but me see the faintest line? I don’t want to get my hopes up quite yet after the many false positives from the Tesco tests last month. I’ve gone with pink dye this time around to save that heartbreak. Xx

@Firevie good morning lovely! I’m 13DPO & AF was due to arrive Weds just gone according to one app, and today according to another. No AF thus far eek. But I’ve still not bought any early response tests so the tests I’ve done so far are stark white ha but they are ordinary tests so I’m just going with flow. How about you lovely? Xxxx

@HappyVibes morning! Where are you at the moment? Are you testing? Xxx

@VP91x bless you! I hope you have managed to take care of yourself since the appointment & not let the negativity consume you.

There’s still so much chance you can conceive naturally at the weight you are/whilst you are trying to get to the NHS benchmark...so I wouldn’t give up all hope and let it completely dampen your sparkle lovely.

With all the money we spend on TTC with the OPKs, the vitamins, the Pom juice, Ava etc - I wonder if maybe an online coach for a nutrition plan & training plan with a certain target? That would maybe help with TTC not always being at the absolute fore of everything too. Just a random thought of maybe a new idea, trying to think of helpful ways for you to feel optimistic lovely and not completely crushed. It’s heartbreaking this whole process and I really wish that it was as easy as we once all naively thought it was xxxxxx

Morning! @VP91x sorry to read about your gynae- honestly breaks my heart when I read it hear stories like that. As I’ve said before health services here are so poor in comparison to Austria which is why I still go home! Forget about this guy. Can you see someone else? Slight drop in temp this morning. Af supposed to be due tmr/Sunday but think will wait until Monday if I can.
@Northernsoul90 agree with @RichmondLady1981 try not to panic and just test again this morning. If you continue to feel unwell perhaps see your gp or AE? Xxx

@Northernsoul90 try not to panic. When you can, try to pick up a frer to use. It should be quite accurate now. It’s normal to feel a bit of discomfort in one side as I remember having it with two pregnancies. Just keep monitoring and if it get very sharp and you have a fever you need to act.

I know it’s not easy but try and stay calm my lovely. Do you have chance to test later today?

@VP91x that's awful!! What an idiot! So sorry that you had to deal with that and I'm sorry that you're feeling down. Big hug to you!!

Thanks ladies for all your replies

I woke up and needed a wee so dipped 2 of the same tests in - 2 internet cheapies and bfn on both. Stark white as well I can't see anything. I'm really confused. Still no af and I've been having quite a bit of cramping. I would have just thought late af had it not been for seeing the faint line yesterday - maybe it's a chemical or something and I'll start bleeding soon. I started panicking myself last night about ectopic pregnancy as I was having quite bad sharp pains in one side and with ectopics you can get lower of slow rising hcg. I'm not really sure what to do now other than wait a couple of days and retest with a different test but I should be seeing a clear line by now

@VP91x I'm so sorry he was such an arse and so unhelpful, not what you wanted or needed hear. Sending hugs lovely xx

@2alreadywantanother flipping eck I would too. I remember the nurse telling me to ‘pull myself together’ when I was alone due to covid and crying and bleeding all over the bed after my scan. Yh thanks nurse I’m on my own and had only been trying for 5 years, that baby was my miracle.

@VP91x so sorry he was an arse. What will you do now? Is it worth trying to lose some weight? Don’t mean that offensively but I know what nhs are like for numbers 😩

Wow so much good news!!!
Congratulations @KatiePlus3!!
@Northernsoul90 that’s looking good to me that’s what mine were like and I never had an evaporation line in my life, sure you guys thought mine was but I’m obviously well pregnant now so that’s a great sign for you! 🤞🏻 For progression. Xx

@Bellabubble congratulations to you also!! The one step ones are the ones I used and they didn’t let me down. I trust them xx

@VP91x so sorry to hear that, what a twat! Big hugs to you my lovely. Xx

@Wishingfornumber2 thank you so much, it still doesn't feel real yet for me!

@Northernsoul90 I'm so so hopeful for you!!! There is colour to that line, praying you get a nice clear result in the morning, please make sure you update us! I'm rooting for you xxx

Exactly

Here @vp91x
At the epu there's a fella. Dog ignorant. So glad I didnt have him. Know 3 girls when they got their bad news and started crying hes like why are you crying, its gone. Lucky I didnt get him cause I'd have knocked him into the next room

@vp91x 😥 ah huni. Dont know what to say. Just didnt want to read and ignore. Some people have no social skills and shouldn't be doing the jobs they do sometimes. I'm over weight and had awful back trouble. The consultant was lovely, in the nicest way possible he told me my weight wont help. But u dont be ignorant about it.
Here if I could be a size 12 do u not think I would be🤔
Send hugs xx
