Tactical seduction and POAS addicts

Well I'm still waiting to bleed..hopefully soon 🤷‍♀️ thick white CM earlier.

@Indianna2006 yes my hcg was 114miu 13 days ago. I just had a look back at my 14dpo test from last pregnancy and these are darker than that but it's all relative you never know what hcg I was at 14dpo. I suppose my hcg might have only dropped a little in the last 13 days but then that doesn't explain the faint IC's last week and the Neg on Friday 🤷🏼‍♀️

@bunnykins123 lol I was just trolling the internet for hcg level test comparisons 😂 that's interesting how they are all roughly the same hcg and varying lines. EPU have got me in for bloods today and Thurs though I'm going to have to go in rush hour now because my co director at work was just so rude to me about the whole thing. You would never have guessed we are meant to be equal 🙄

@theblueflowers lol pregnancy limbo feels like story of my life atm 😂

@mummatara lol that was a picture I sent my mum - you can see I circled the top one as my tests got darker! So this pick is really quite topical 😂

@mummatara just for balance, after my mmc, it took yonks for my HCG to go down. Nothing was wrong just took absolutely ages. Here are my tests where HCG was around the 50 mark (2 months after ERPC). They jumped around a bit too. That being said, I do think your test looks a tad darker so I defo think you should follow up with EPU!

@mummatara they really do look darker...what a limbo!

@FfayeN I've been thinking about you so much (kind of weird when you are 'just' a username, but hope you know what I mean!) Hope you get through soon!

@mummatara there quite strong frer lines aren’t they.
when I got pregnant after my mmc straight away an had that chemical. They got no where near that dark. An my period was delayed by like 3/4 days. I’d imagine that a fair bit of hcg. As yours was like just over 100 hcg a week or more ago, I’d of thought it should be much lower by now.

oh well at least for bloods Thursday. Like you say if it’s back higher can. There’s the answer.

@FfayeN grrr how annoying. Just keep ringing and ringing!

@Indianna2006 @TheBirdintheCave lol now I see them on screen I think they do 😂 when I was quickly looking this morning I was like nope the same. Too busy rushing round after DS to analyse. EPU have asked me to go in for blood tests so I suppose I'll find out either way by Thursday 🫣

@mummatara I also think it looks darker.

@mummatara I agree do think the bottoms one are a tad darker. Even think the frer is by a smidge. 🤔🤔

@FfayeN I'm CD21 today. I'm trying to get through to the EPU atm they love to keep the phone ringing and ringing 🙄 just before I left the house I took out Saturdays and yesterdays out so there are 48 hours between and there is a difference I really just don't know what to think 🤦🏼‍♀️ Oh no I would have had a meltdown too our doctors are terrible for the queuing system. Are you close could you pop down there? Mine is two min walk down the road so I just walk in now

@bunnykins123 yes a new one would have been quite frankly amazing but my gut tells me no so I didn't get too hopeful.

I had a look at cycle after previous surgery AF came on CD33 which is a pretty normal number for me im usually CD27-CD31 for AF so hopefully she arrives in a normal range again and we can just start over 🤞🏼

@mummatara oh I'm sorry, I know you said it might have been too soon but I'm sure the possibility of a new pregnancy was exciting none the less 💕

@bunnykins123 I did. I think it looks the same. I also did another frer to compare which also looks the same so I'm thinking nothing as exciting as a new pregnancy just the lingering hcg going a bit whacky. I need to ring the EPU anyway they'll either get me in to blood test or tell me to wait another week as no signs of infection. I'll let them dry a bit and take some pics ❤️

@mummatara did you retest today? X

@FfayeN good luck tomorrow xx all the love from NI is being sent your way 💕

@FfayeN how are you feeling? Xx

@FfayeN I saw that!! I need no excuse to buy it😂 todays FRER was super faint so I'm certain I'm out xx

@FfayeN I'd definitely give a fertility acupuncturist a go, mine was also really good at recommending supplements, mine gave me some really interesting facts about how there's so many factors that contribute to fertility including gut health ( I was prescribed some strong probiotics as I've had a dodgy stomach for years). Have u had your vit d levels checked? What's 'normal' vit d levels to a gp tends to be much less than what they'd like it to be for fertility...and make sure you are taking folate ( pure form of folic acid). I found my acupuncturist through Zeta West ( fertility expert) website. Please don't give up hope, you will get there. I'm sure of it xxx

@FfayeN I'm so sorry you've now had 4. That's heartbreaking. I had 2 in a row and was told 'it's just one of those things', which didn't help at all. I just wanted answers. I'm sure covid contributed towards my 2nd MC..I have a really good friend who is a consultant in obstetrics/IVF. I've badgered her loads. She referred to getting pregnant as a bit like Russian roulette when u get a little older in regards to egg quality. I'm 39 as well so pretty sure I have had some dodgy eggs in the past! There are various supplements u can take, I'm not sure if you have been taking them? I found doing things such as taking supplements, having specialist acupuncture for MC also gave me a sense of control over things..with this current pregnancy I also went down the aspirin route ( 75mg a day) which can help if there's a chance u could have sticky blood..as far as I'm aware there's no harm in taking it and my midwife said although she couldn't advise me 'officially' to take it, if it was her, she'd take it. I also researched it online and decided to go down that route xx

@FfayeN beyond heartbroken for you... Life can be so cruel and unfair... :( Was really hoping for the best outcome for you.
I know nothing we can say can reduce the heartache you are experiencing now but I am so glad you have us here - please don't feel you are over-taking anything. You just went through something utterly terrible, everyone here wants to help you.
And also at 8w5d when the risk is really small at that point, it's so terrible and I am sorry 😔It was a good thing you moved your scan because it would be absolutely shocking to find out at 12-week one - and I am sure it's absolutely shocking now too.
How are you holding up?
As for NK cells, it is good if you live in an area that will test for them and look at options. Where I am, the NHS doesn't believe in immune issues and doesn't provide any tests or treatments even alongside IVF! I spoke to one of the doctors I know and she said there was no strong evidence but I still believe that surely it could be the cause for some people?

I am sorry I just don't know what to say❤x
