Well here we are again, day 1 of new cycle. It’s been over a year now (I’d ducked out of these threads for ages). Finally going to start with some private investigations. But not for a few weeks.

Anyone got any fun ideas for this month?

Little update with the FRER I just done, still finding it ultra hard to believe after getting a VF line on a cheapy the last few days🫣

Thanks everyone, I spoke with epau this morning and they confirmed by hcg was too low so I cancelled my scan. Advised to test in a week to make sure it's resolving. Feel like absolute rubbish but it can't be changed. It's also hit my partner super hard so we're just trying to support each other through it and move forward. πŸ˜ͺ

Jealousofchiliheeler · 20/02/2023 17:23

So sorry @JD90 hope you're ok

TunnocksTCake · 20/02/2023 15:08

@DSP21 The 2-3 weeks on digital is definitely a positive sign! Its so hard at this stage when you just want to see progression but the dilution of your wee could be so different each time.
Wait another 2days if you can and retest then but I think you can be quietly optimistic with the 2-3 week result :)

DSP21 · 20/02/2023 14:46

@TunnocksTCake I have more frers! These were both afternoon wee as fmu for me is much more diluted as I drink water in the night and pee. Both taken at similar times. I guess its a waiting game, i did get a 2-3 weeks on a digi this morning so i don’t know if that would’ve happened if it was a chemical? I don’t know i’m driving myself crazy

TunnocksTCake · 20/02/2023 14:23

@DSP21 ooh thats a tricky one - did you take both with FMU? Have you got any other tests you can take?

DSP21 · 20/02/2023 14:19

Top - 14dpo
bottom - 15dpo

not sure if i’m having a chemical, just no one else I can put my anxiety out to aside from you ladies

Sorry to hear some of you are going through this, I had my second chemical this month too and doctors can’t do anything unless I have 1 more πŸ™„
hopefully we all get healthy babies soon 🀞🏻

TunnocksTCake · 20/02/2023 11:11

@JD90 oh so sorry to hear this :( Hope you at least get an answer either way and make sure you report it to your DR just so they have it on file - I failed to do this with one of mine then when I came to them saying I had had 3 they basically didnt believe me!

@ukMummyof1 you are still v early days and pre af so its not unusual for such a light line, but as pp said I would get some FRERS for a better line, fingers crossed for you!

Hankthehonk · 20/02/2023 08:22

@ukMummyof1 I understand, it's a really stressful time. I'd definitely suggest you get a more sensitive test, these cheapie ones aren't great - if you get a 2 pack of FRERs and do one tomorrow then another 48 hours later hopefully you'll see progression with clearer lines

ukMummyof1 · 20/02/2023 07:57

@Hankthehonk 11dpo in the top and one 13dpo in the second (that's if my dates are right). Never had a chemical before but so worried!

Hankthehonk · 20/02/2023 07:52

@JD90 So sorry you are going through this :(

Hankthehonk · 20/02/2023 07:52

@ukMummyof1 What dpo are you? This does look a little darker to me. You should use Frers if you can as they are much more sensitive. Hope you are not feeling too anxious, I totally empathise I've been testing daily for ten days now!

ukMummyof1 · 20/02/2023 07:50

So after I got my positive on Saturday I waited 48 hours to test again and have just tested and I don't think it's got any darker, could I be having a chemical?? πŸ˜₯

Looks like I'm going to be moving into the November ttc thread with you lovely lot. Unfortunately started spotting yesterday, was advised to get some bloods done and to have my scan moved to today in case it's another ectopic but started bleeding heavily overnight so looks like it was a chemical πŸ˜ͺ going to ring up epau this morning and tell them and if my bloods were low i expect they will probably cancel the scan, which makes sense. Such a shitty feeling but even from the first positive I had a bad feeling about things.

ukMummyof1 · 19/02/2023 07:57

Thank you so much everyone! I'll call the EPAU in the week and hopefully I'll get a scan... going to test again tomorrow morning to see if my line is any darker. Also, thank you for the reassurance about the night outπŸ™ˆxxx

Twoinapod · 18/02/2023 23:54

@ukMummyof1 dont worry about drinking, I’ve found out with all 3 of mine the morning after a night out πŸ™ˆ it’s too early to cause any problems.

many maternity units are now self referral so if you can find their number it might be worth a call to see how they process you as you’ve had an ectopic previously.

congratulations

TunnocksTCake · 18/02/2023 20:49

Congrats @ukMummyof1 πŸŽ‰πŸ’• I remember you posting your predicament! As others have said I really wouldn't worry about the few drinks you had, it was an isolated occasion and very early. Hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy 😊

Hankthehonk · 18/02/2023 13:15

@ukMummyof1 Oops finger slipped there. Congratulations!
I dont think you need to worry too much about having a few drinks, lots of people drink when they don't realise yet they're pregnant. I hate thinking how much I had before realising I was pregnant with my first 🀐

Hankthehonk · 18/02/2023 13:14

@ukMummyof1

JD90 · 18/02/2023 12:19

@ukMummyof1 yes contact your gp and let them know and either they will contact epau on your behalf or tell you to contact them. You should hopefully be scanned around 6 weeks to confirm placement.

CinderRosie · 18/02/2023 09:58

@ukMummyof1 I definitely see it! Tentative congrats!
