Just starting up a new thread 😁. Hopefully I haven't forgotten anyone!

@MrsB2019x when I had the faint lines a couple of months ago I really freaked out and it was for no reason (apparently 🙄) so just trying to not think about it so much and get on with it. Also more concerned that we go away on Monday so I think I'm in a bit of denial that if something is wrong and I have to go back and forth then it might ruin the holiday 😭

MrsB2019x · 11/05/2021 10:33

@whambam89 You do seem super chilled 😂 whatever works for you lovely! Not long to go til Thursday now

@MrsB2019x I think if I'd asked for it they'd have been happy to see me. I'm pretty confident that because the lines aren't particularly dark that my HCG levels won't be at a dangerous level if it is ectopic. I'm surprisingly chilled about the whole thing actually 🙈

MrsB2019x · 10/05/2021 18:57

I guess you’re halfway to Thursday now from when you last spoke to them, just seems really off that they haven’t even offered you bloods or anything 😔

@kirinm I was the same last time, it was diagnosed through bloods and treated with methotrexate. Although I'm almost certain the methotrexate is what's messed my cycles up since then.
I've not done one yet today, I'm 99% sure they're getting lighter. I feel like I'll never be able to get excited by a pregnancy again to be honest x

kirinm · 10/05/2021 09:34

I didn't have any pain @whambam89 and thankfully I was able to avoid surgery like you. My ectopic was diagnosed by blood tests and then subsequently scans. I wonder why that has changed. I obviously hope that this is a viable pregnancy for you but I know the relief I felt when I had 'just' a miscarriage after my ectopic. It is horrible to have to appreciate you are at least not going to go through the ectopic process again.

Have you done any more tests? Are you sure they're getting lighter?

whambam89 · 10/05/2021 08:30

@MrsB2019x @kirinm they could have seen me today but said it would be better to wait until I'd be 6 weeks. I'm not in any pain or anything and the bleeding has subsided again. Saturday it was more pink/red but yesterday there was hardly any and it was really dark again, tests are getting lighter as well (I've not done one this morning yet) so I'm wondering if it's "just" a weird early miscarriage?

kirinm · 10/05/2021 07:12

Hope you're okay @whambam89 I'd consider giving EPU another call today. It isn't okay to have expected you to wait a week.

MrsB2019x · 08/05/2021 23:00

If it wasn’t for how they treated you last time I’d say go to A&E, just so you can get some answers rather than be stuck in this awful limbo 😔 but I totally understand why you wouldn’t want to do that. Could you try EPU again on Monday to see if they can bump you up if the bleeding is getting worse?

whambam89 · 08/05/2021 18:06

@MrsB2019x seems to have got a bit heavier and more red today x

MrsB2019x · 08/05/2021 17:09

I think they all look the same 🤷🏻‍♀️ How is the bleeding now?

whambam89 · 08/05/2021 14:01

@sansa87 @kirinm I used the same ones with DD and they were darker than that with her (although that was 4 years ago now), I'm not sure - I guess I'll just keep testing and see what happens before Thursday x

kirinm · 08/05/2021 13:46

@whambam89

The lines are definitely getting lighter / not any darker so I'm not sure what's going on. Top was Wednesday, middle yesterday and bottom today
Are you sure these tests can get darker?
Sansa87 · 08/05/2021 12:34

@whambam89 mine got lighter if I drank more before bed/during the night which I did. I don’t think you’re are drastically changing, and think they all look pretty similar.

I don’t think mine got much darker for this pregnancy

@kirinm @MrsB2019x the top one is from 2 days ago, I've picked up 4 more of the same tests so will keep checking them.

I feel ok, mentally exhausted with anything and no pregnancy symptoms at all. I'm pretty certain it's not viable / couldn't be a viable pregnancy with the line not being much darker by now and my heavy bleed x

So pleased for you @krj2688 such great news 😁

@whambam89 I definitely wouldn't be ruling yourself out just yet!

MrsB2019x · 07/05/2021 10:10

Still looks dark to me too, is the top one a dried one? Hope you are doing okay x

Great news @krj2688! 🥳

kirinm · 07/05/2021 09:46

It still looks very dark to me. How are you feeling?

whambam89 · 07/05/2021 08:42

I've taken another test this morning (bottom one) and I feel like it's getting lighter so I'm now 99.9% sure that it's not viable. Will keep testing to see what happens but hopefully I can avoid any medical intervention this time x

@krj2688 great news, glad everything is going ok for you! Xx

krj2688 · 07/05/2021 08:12

I had my dating scan yesterday, I'm now 13+5 weeks. Finally got there after a very rocky road.

krj2688 · 07/05/2021 08:11

@whambam89

I hope all is ok, my fingers are crossed for you xxx
