Dodgy tests/ evap/ or BFP?

62 replies

BambiBooBoo · 28/01/2023 19:35

Can't work out if the tests are a bad batch or giving me evaps or a BFP

Test was done just now with a hold.
What do you think?

Don't want to get my hopes up

DH says I'm seeing things 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thank you!
And yes their approach was definitely not ideal...

Brilliant news! I hope it makes them rethink their approach to you. It's awful they made you think there was no hope x

Thank you all! Xx

@TheShellBeach oh bless you!! I'm so glad your friend got her good news in the end! That must have been so hard for her thinking she wasn't going to get her baby x

All you ladies were right- I was just too early!!
I'm so so relieved! They saw a "strong heartbeat" straight away, baby's in the right place and growing nicely putting me at 6weeks3 - exactly 1 week behind where I originally thought I was!

Thank you everyone on here for being so so supportive to me! I really appreciate it

Oh OP! That's wonderful news. I was hoping so much that this was the case. I am actually wiping my eyes now, seeing your update.

I did think when you mentioned the extreme nausea that there was a good chance you were still pregnant.

I remember a friend being told her pregnancy wasn't viable. She was very, very distressed but insisted on getting another scan in a week - and she was right. That baby must be in his twenties now.

I'm absolutely thrilled for you!

Been thinking of you, hope all goes well with your scan tomorrow. How are you feeling now?

Thank you xx
I'm so nervous. The sickness is killing me the last few days. Vomiting non stop. And today and yesterday I can't keep my eyes open and so tired. I had about 3/4 hours worth of naps yesterday!!
Scared of getting my hopes up but the way my symptoms are going I'll be shocked if they still say no baby

@RainbowsLemonDrop there will be 8 days between my scans so hopefully that will be enough to see what's going on. If it's not I may ask to push it back another week, just incase.
But the sickness has settled in and I'm feeling so so ill. I had HG with my other pregnancies- I don't know how i managed it 😂

@TheUnicornsGoHawaiian thank you 💕

OP posts:

TheUnicornsGoHawaiian · 17/02/2023 22:27

Just wanted to send love OP.

RainbowsLemonDrop · 17/02/2023 22:20

I think you may be too early, OP. I went in at 5 weeks + 2 and I could literally just see a sac (exactly like yours) it was totally empty inside, not even a foetal pole, and I was told I'd either miscarry or I would go back in 2 weeks and it would be viable.

DD is now 8 months old ♥️

Everyone on here have been so sweet and supportive. I really really appreciate it

I'm sorry you're in limbo and that your doctor and midwife are not being supportive.
I'd see what the result of the next scan is and take it from there.
I've got everything crossed for you. Maybe it'll be okay. I really hope so.

@buckingmad thank you, nice to hear similar experiences with different cycle lengths. Mine averages about 35 days atm even tho they're irregular.
I hope I have some good news at the scan. But I'm scared to get my hopes up.

If there's still no change and sac is empty
Or
If there's a baby but no heart beat- but there's something there since last scan

-Im wondering if I should push for another scan a week later to give more of a chance?
Especially if my dates are incorrect x

OP posts:

buckingmad · 17/02/2023 20:25

OP I had long cycles when trying for my first. I was testing ovulation and also DH was away with work a lot so I knew exactly when I conceived which was around cd21. But the NHS will assume you conceive around cd14 based on the average 28 day cycle. I told them at booking in that my last period would give the wrong due date by at least a week and they didn’t listen. Low and behold at my first scan baby measured tiny because she was a week younger than they insisted she was.

If you have long cycles there’s every chance your scan was just too early to pick up a baby and heartbeat. Fingers crossed your next scan goes well xx
