TTC after recurrent loss

@bringmearainbow seems too light..can you DTD to get things moving? 🙈

Definitely! Can’t wait to be able to use it. Yeah I literally had no clue it would take so long so we ordered it just before we found out about the problems our baby had and decided not to cancel as it was going to take 4 months anyway 😅but hopefully I get a chance to use it next year 😬

@bringmearainbow we have indeed, yesterday and today, a couple of days before that. Probably tomorrow too just to be safe haha!

@bringmearainbow aw hopefully the next month goes quickly for you- I’ll be sending you sticky baby dust ❤️

im definitely taking it one day at a time trying to remember that TODAY I am pregnant and holding onto that❤️

sadly the pram we ordered for our baby that made it to 14 weeks is arriving today- we kept the order going as there was a long wait list and we got a good price so it’s bittersweet receiving it but also exciting that we have something for our future baby. but we are hopeful we are going to get our baby eventually so all the things we have for the baby will just be stored until he or she arrives 🥲

@bringmearainbow I think I’m ovulating today based off my OPKs over the past couple of days! There was nothing on CD10 and then suddenly on CD11 the surge started!

How are you doing? X

@bringmearainbow yes Af came today unfortunately! Not going to track ovulation or anything next month, just getting me down!

@bringmearainbow it certainly does :) it’s a nice feeling when I was convinced it was another chemical just days ago. So I am happy and feeling more positive but after 3 MC’s there’s a lot of doubt still in my mind and I don’t want to get my hopes up.

I did my last test I had today and it’s even stronger since yesterday’s which is also a good sign and I’m starting to feel some symptoms but nothing major. Hoping I get to have a scan by July 3rd as I will be 6 weeks then - that should relax me more if it’s a good scan.

how is everyone else getting on? Hope you’re all ok x

@bringmearainbow nope still not AF so I guess I’d be 4 weeks and 4 days today based on my LMP…

im relieved to know the weeks indicators take more hcg so that’s a bit of a sigh of relief. I haven’t taken anymore FRER but did do another cheap strip test last night and there’s definitely progression from the day before. - I’ll insert the picture

not sure I will buy anymore frer, but hoping to get a scan maybe later next week to check if everything is ok.

@bringmearainbow yeah I definitely feel there’s been a LOT of progression, I just wish I had done them more often because I feel like I need to compare how fast it has progressed.
i do feel a lot more positive and still no AF.🤷🏽‍♀️

the digital was a weeks indicator- I’ve never used one before. Not entirely sure how they work or if they’re as sensitive as the frer.

@Firsttimemumtobee aw thank you❤️Sorry for your losses :(

Hi everyone, I'd love to join!
Had 2 losses, a mc at 11w3 at the end of April, followed by a cp the following cycle. AF is due tomorrow, been cramping and had some spotting.. not just had that feeling that I'm pregnant this time, which I did the others. Had several BFN tests already, last one yesterday, which I feel should be positive by now? 14dpo today.

Congratulations on your positive @MummaDaisy ☺️

@bringmearainbow yeah it certainly is a weird situation. Not quite sure what to believe.
my mum suggested I take another frer as I haven’t since Friday and it is a whole lot more positive.

my body is playing tricks on me like crazy today😂😅it’s not as strong as my previous pregnancy tests at the same DPO BUT my hcg in that pregnancy was 150% the average due to our girl having turners syndrome so maybe less positive is a good thing?

today is a nightmare I’m so exhausted trying to figure out if I am pregnant or not but tests seem to be getting stronger now🤷🏽‍♀️It started slow but what if it’s getting going now

ill insert a picture of the frer in comparison to the last one I did

Well guys it’s official I’ve lost my mind and I am so very confused.
still haven’t managed to sleep. Did all the tests I have in my house lol and they’re all now stronger but still faint! It seems like it’s progressing extremely slow!!

did a clear blue digital and it says not pregnant but EVERY other brand of test I’ve used has faint lines. I’ve used FRER, Premom, freedom, and boots. They’re all positive- despite being faint right now.

I’ll attach some photos let me know what you think. I thought this was a chemical but still no AF and now the tests are slowly progressing. But since I’m due AF now shouldn’t they be strong lines?

Called EPU and they’re being useless saying they won’t even test hcg until they scan me.. I had a breakdown over the phone 😫she said she will call me back but I’m still waiting 🙄

@Rtmhwales @bringmearainbow i haven’t used a proper test since Friday. I used an frer and wasn’t pleased with the 2 day progression so just assumed it was gonna end with AF.

I have however used two different brands of the strip test and nothing. Of course my wee could be diluted but surely not this much - surely the day of my missed period should give me an obvious line😅

even then, it would take 2 days to even get another frer to my house.

when I first got my positive last week, I did contact my GP to refer me to the epu but haven’t heard back yet… might have to give them a call

@MummaDaisy Have you checked with different tests? I've had very very similar results as you on FRER and thought I was having chemicals. I think they're just indents as I'm doing weekly blood tests and even testing on the days I get those faint lines the HCG comes back as 0.

@J2023xx @bringmearainbow its just such a drag now! 😫today is cd31. Still no period but quite bad cramps. I haven’t bothered testing since Friday since I knew the light tests weren’t a good sign but have been up all night and can’t sleep so I did a cheap test and there’s a line and it is stronger than it was on the cheap strips 4 days ago BUT still not an obvious positive. Just so faint. Not sure what on Earth is going on. I feel pregnant but my tests are telling me it’s not a viable pregnancy and the cramping is telling me AF is coming ! 😫😫

now I’m just so worried it’s ectopic! The hcg isn’t rising properly, no period and quite bad cramping…
