@HelloMoon87 so sorry to hear this. Hope you’re doing ok! So do the blood tests mean that it will definitely happen and just hasn’t yet?? X

cosymama2020 · 19/08/2023 15:45

I had a positive (I think) yesterday and BFNs today. Egg white CM as well today and 2 days late?! The mind boggles 🙃

cosymama2020 · 19/08/2023 15:44

Sending you lots of hugs @HelloMoon87

Ncl31 · 19/08/2023 14:04

@HelloMoon87 so sorry to hear that. I hope it’s all over soon for you x

Mango30 · 19/08/2023 11:48

@HelloMoon87 I'm so sorry honey, look after yourself 🤍

LacedBouquet · 19/08/2023 11:25

So sorry @HelloMoon87 😞 is this your second chemical/ early loss? Hopefully it’ll happen soon 🙏
With my losses I’ve only started bleeding when the test goes almost negative

Janeykat · 19/08/2023 09:45

Oh @HelloMoon87 I'm so sorry to hear this😥 big hugs to you, I will be thinking of you. Xx

Thank you everyone. Yes blood tests showed unviable. But I still haven't miscarried, I just want it to happen sooner than later.

Think I’ll bin my Clearblue early detection and not buy again. Can’t see anything on this morning’s test and got my hopes up a little bit with yesterday’s test. Easy@home test is a stark negative, no sign of a line at all.

AF still hasn’t shown up and I’m 2 days late now. Flo says it’s normally to be up to 7 days late though apparently!

ttcthoughts · 19/08/2023 06:22

@HelloMoon87 oh my goodness lovely, I’m soo sorry ☹️ did you get your bloods done?
I really hope you are ok. ❤️

LacedBouquet · 18/08/2023 23:10

@HelloMoon87 Oh no I’m so sorry to hear this! Did you get your bloods done and if so what’s the results? Or are you relying just on the strip tests? I’m hoping it’s just one of those random dips for you and then it shoots back up! 🙏 I’ve seen so many stories of people with HCG not doubling, dropping then going back up xx

2022ttc · 18/08/2023 21:47

Hello I’m new here :)
TTC baby #1 for over 2 years. Finally got the ball rolling with initial tests with GP last week. AF is due in 5 days and am hoping and praying like every month that this could be our lucky month!

cosymama2020 · 18/08/2023 21:01

@HelloMoon87 so sorry - keeping my fingers and toes crossed that this isn’t the case and it’s just a bit slow to increase ❤️

cosymama2020 · 18/08/2023 19:22

Hi ladies! I was super quiet on this thread this cycle as we only DTD once a few days before ovulation and it’s been a really stressful month. I’m due on today and no PMS symptoms. Did a one step test this morning and negative. Just did an early Clearblue and I don’t know if I’m going mad or is there a faint line there? It’s in the 3-5 min window or are the Clearblue early tests known for evaps?

literally waiting on my boots test as we speak 😂

@HelloMoon87 Im so sorry to hear this. That’s awful and I really hope you’re doing okay. Sending lots of love ❤️

I called the doctors today and explained my situation of being late / pains but negatives etc and they want to refer me for a scan. So I will get a call early next week to go for that.. so at least I’ll get a definitive answer soon. Unless my period comes in the meantime

HelloMoon87 · 18/08/2023 17:42

I think I'll miscarry soon, my HCGs are not doubling and they're quite low. Thank you to all who have been supportive and I hope we get our BFPs one day.

So sorry to hear this 😓 sending you all the virtual hugs and support possible, take some time for yourself, thinking of you 💔

@HelloMoon87 Yeah ovulating late could definitely be an option! I've read so much both ways of people getting periods 2 weeks late for no known reason, it just happens! & others getting BFP after a week or so.. I do really think it's just going to come on at some point and I'm just not going to know why but we can still have a little bit of hope until it shows!

h0lly88 · 18/08/2023 12:30

Oo thats interesting.. @Mango30 ! I have my hopes up now it's so late and getting a couple symptoms but I am still 80% convinced its just going to come late for whatever reason since I'm still negative.

@HelloMoon87 my period was on 17th - 21st July and it says I ovulated 3rd august but I didn't do anything to confirm that so it could be wrong, & my period is due 15th August (making me my usual 28/29 day cycle) but 3 days later no sign and I've never gone over 29 before, so just super confusing since I'm still negative!

That's so annoying. I haven't got experience of that, as I only have had ever earlier periods since I started TTC. I have seen other people get later periods with all the symptoms, and it's very disappointing. It could be that you ovulated late as well if you weren't using opks. I hope for you!

@Mango30 it is I promised myself I wouldn't last cycle but then you cave, get evaps then it makes you test more. This was it after 20 mins 🤦‍♀️
