@HannahLouD not that you should be testing for progression but if you compare 19dpo and. 21dpo there’s definitely progression. As PP said they only go so dark. I would definitely book an early scan for 6weeks if possible although likely won’t be a heartbeat but it may reassure you that it all looks good for this stage

Daniki · 10/04/2023 09:41

@HannahLouD also I meant to say, I wouldn't worry about the profession as there is only so dark they can go. Your HCG levels would be quite high now so there wouldn't be any point in testing to check progression as you'll drive yourself mad.
Try and relax and see if you can get yourself booked in for an early scan, some places can do it at 6 weeks 🥰 x

Daniki · 10/04/2023 09:14

Thanks ladies keep trying to be positive but get more down everyday although @bringmearainbow you have defo given me hope with your BFP today and nothing yest!

This is my 4th cycle post Mc and my period only went back to normal there on the last cycle. I think it's because I got pregnant so easily with those miscarriages! I left it 2 cycles after last one to give myself a rest but starting again in feb after seeing a consultant who gave me a script to start as soon as I get my BFP. Which is holding out on me 😂

HannahLouD · 10/04/2023 08:56

So nice to see some more bfps since I've looked at this thread! 🥳🤍🤞

I'm 23dpo today (5+2)
Sore boobs went yesterday and haven't come back :( I do, however, feel so genuinely unwell. I've been so exhausted it's ridiculous. Not sure if it's just because it was my daughter's bday on Thursday and it's been non-stop since then!? Still not got a good feeling about this pregnancy... I've made it further than with my cp but I just feel something's not right.
Also, because I'm actually insane (I know this is so unhelpful and not helping with anxiety at all!) I've been continuing to test with my easy at home strips... They haven't progressed at all in like, 5 days (only reason today's looks darker is because it was only taken about 2 hours ago).
I don't know whether to book for an early scan at 6 weeks or if that's a really bad idea... x

@bringmearainbow ahhh there is a line!!! Congratulations

Natty83 · 10/04/2023 08:32

@Daniki @Floralsandsmiles you're not out until AF sings. With my DS I didn't get my bfp until 16dpo, about 3 days past AF due, and he's 18 months now xx

Natty83 · 10/04/2023 08:31

@bringmearainbow omg yes there is! No squinting required! Congrats 💐🥳

bringmearainbow · 10/04/2023 08:28

@lottieb92 keep holding on mine yesterday had zilch! You've still got time. I was in a horrible funk yesterday

@Angelselevenx ❤️

@Daniki there's still time just keep going you got this. How many cycles post MC has it been?

Daniki · 10/04/2023 08:23

@Mummyme87 I know I'm the same keep thinking I see a shadow and when I look under a bright light it's just stark white! 😅😩

Daniki · 10/04/2023 08:22

@bringmearainbow there defo is 😍 happy days 🥳

@Floralsandsmiles thanks, iv just told myself I'm not pregnant and preparing for next cycle now 😂 really wanted a Christmas baby but January will be fine too 🤪

Angelselevenx · 10/04/2023 08:22

@bringmearainbow omg!!!! Eeeeeeek 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

lottieb92 · 10/04/2023 08:16

@bringmearainbow there certainly is!! Ekkkk!

nothing for me at 9DPO on my easy@home and a clearblue early! Still not sure I accept it/ sunk in yet. Holding on to hope a little longer.

I might skip tomorrow and test at 11DPO ☺️

bringmearainbow · 10/04/2023 08:11

10dpo there's a faint pink line 🙈

Mummyme87 · 10/04/2023 07:47

10dpo and a bfn. As always my line eyes want to make me believe there’s a shadow there, but no.

Sorry @Daniki and @Mummyme87 for your BFN. Thinking of you both xxx

Daniki · 10/04/2023 07:18

@Mummyme87 that's true. Tested there now and negative ☹️ such a sensitive test too. Not due til Friday but I'm the same boobs wise they're quite sore

Mummyme87 · 09/04/2023 22:48

I’m testing tomorrow morning with an easy @ home cheapie, will be 10dpo. It’s my only test then will try not to order anymore. AF due Thursday. Boobs very sore and maybe a bit of pulling in lower abdomen but I’m looking for stuff that’s not there. The boobs definitely are but I always have sore boobs in luteal phase.
good luck for everyone testing in the next few days. Remember you’re not out until AF shows

Daniki · 09/04/2023 21:00

@lottieb92 an bless your husband he sounds like mine, very optimistic! 😍 least the lunch went well and here's hoping we're still in with a chance.

When I was pregnant with my first, I kept testing negative up until my period was due, had been trying for like a year, and one day I just took a test cuz it was sitting there and I got a verrrry faint line so I keep trying to remind myself of that!

lottieb92 · 09/04/2023 20:55

@Daniki my poor husband was like “yeah but ages of time until tomorrow mornings test”

ever the optimist 😖 it’s stupid early, I think it was so I can just not expect anything tomorrow, self preservation if you will.

survived the Easter lunch though and everyone had left and I had NO distraction anymore

Daniki · 09/04/2023 20:49

@lottieb92 they're so tempting 😂 I tested again this eve and still negative as this morn 🫣

lottieb92 · 09/04/2023 20:36

Saw the tests in the bathroom… dipped one ahead of tomorrow, bfn 🙈

Angelselevenx · 09/04/2023 11:16

@Floralsandsmiles the worst questions, people don't realise the impact of asking these sorts of things do they.

I've been testing my LH and it still seems fairly high considering, it's got darker since yesterdays, hoping it doesn't peak anytime soon as I'm still bleeding 😔. If i take the first day as spotting (when AF was due) I'm on day 9 now and AF is normally 8 days. I should be hitting peak CD21 if it stays normal to previous months xx

@Floralsandsmiles I honestly hate when people ask those questions! Had a man say to me at work oh it's time to give my son a sibling I felt like saying yea sure if I could hold on to a pregnancy I would 🙄 🙈
Hoping you get some answers, it's a rough old journey ☹️ xx

Floralsandsmiles · 09/04/2023 11:12

Daniki · 09/04/2023 11:04

@Floralsandsmiles ah I'm so sorry 😖 my jan and feb cycle were similar to that but the march one seemed to regulate it self finally.
If cycle is changing may be worth while getting hormones checked? (You may have this all done already so apologies if so!) xx

Thank you darling. Just did my last lot of blood work (have done Cd3 and Cd21 of bloodwork). So hoping that says why.. xxx

@Angelselevenx @Seasidegirll @Daniki thanks ladies. I really am feeling very very low right now. I was so quietly confident and hopeful. I hate this.
What a great Easter Sunday, and now I have to endure a huge family gathering for my parents 25 wedding anniversary and my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary, being asked loads of questions like "so, now you're married, do you think maybe you'll try"... or "when will you give me more grand babies". Seriously FML! Xxx
