5 days late, had slight blood the day after I was due when wiping then spend last night in tears as had some brown when I wiped.

woke up this morning and decided to test again as no actual period yet.

i did 3 tests 🙈 husband can see them too but says we should just stay calm and relax 😂 we’ve been ttc for over 10yrs so we’re both extremely cautious

I'm glad you're feeling better but don't underestimate what you've been through - it can take time to process the last few weeks. I really hope you get the outcome you want at some point in the coming weeks/months, and hopefully there will be more help going forward if you decide you want it.

Completely understandable. Hoping this can all be over and done with soon for you so you can look ahead to the future. I'm sorry it's been such a rocky road for you, but the way you've coped and dealt is amazing. You should be proud of yourself x

Thank you so much. That means a lot. My husband keeps telling me how strong I am but I’ve never felt so broken. But I think where the hormones are dropping that has helped a lot. I was mentally in a very bad place last week but feeling a lot better now ☺️

Thank you ladies. So kind of you to check in with me.

yes I’ve just got back from the hospital. Bloods done so just waiting on the results now.

I did a test this morning and had the faintest line I’ve ever seen. Hubby couldn’t see it and informed me I had line eyes 😂 but it is barely there so I’m feeling positive about the blood test today. Just wanting the go ahead to try again with a clean canvas really.

I’ll let you know when I’ve heard from them. I just want this chapter to be over with now

Are you still having bloods today @DoraBella88 ? If so, I hope they can give you some answers - sending you best wishes.

Thank you as always ladies. Honestly your love and support has been a massive comfort to me and I don’t think I could of got through any of this without you all ❤️

I do feel better now knowing they are there to look after me if and when I need them again. I’m just anxiously waiting on today’s blood results. I’m assuming no phone call yet is good news as the call I got on Sunday was within an hour and a half of having the test. And it had only dropped by 7 in 48 hours.

im curled up on the sofa with a glass of wine, my husband is working still so im drowning my sorrows. Honestly he was amazing today. He held on to my shoulder whilst I was having both scans, helped me out of my jeans when I got stuck, pulled my shoe off my foot when I somehow knotted the laces trying to get them off and just held me hard when I burst in to tears in the final consultation. Hes not perfect but honestly, he’s been amazing with this whole situation. Seeing your husband cry has been so heartbreaking, but he’s been incredible.

My heart is so broken right now, but we still try to look at the positives. We’ve done it at last, we got pregnant. and now if we manage to do it again, we know we’ve got the help there. My husband took his vitamins this morning and I plan on starting the folic acid again in a few days. I will test again maybe tomorrow.

who knows. But I’m so greatful to each and every one of you ❤️

Beautiful way to look at things. I'm so glad they're going to help you now and in future, I'm sorry it's taken this long for them to do so.
Also, please don't feel bad if you need to take time away from work, thankfully you seem to work with good people, I'm sure they'll be more than understanding.

Sending you love and positive thoughts ❤️

Just dropping in to say thinking of you @DoraBella88, what a rollercoaster. Hope you’re able to do some nice things for yourself in these days

SirChenjins · 16/08/2024 13:27

You're bound to be exhausted, both emotionally and physically. That's great work are being lovely, but don't feel guilty about taking time off if you need it. That's rubbish you're having to wait till Wednesday, hopefully you'll get some answers then.

Work has been amazing. I’m currently sat outside the back of the shop in the sun. We’re fairly quiet today so I’m sure I’ll get through it xx

@DoraBella88 pleased they are not too worried but so sorry you have been through all of this Flowers
Hopefully wednesday will be the last lots of bloods you have to have.

DoraBella88 · 15/08/2024 09:47

Thank you ladies.

im so mentally and emotionally drained.

the hospital just called and said that the specialists aren’t concerned as my levels are so low. I’ve got to go back again next Wednesday for more blood tests which will hopefully show them much lower. There is a chance they could rise more (I doubt it) in which case they will scan me again.

they have said that if I get any pain or bleeding or symptoms I’m to call them immediately.

so another week of waiting and confusion.

Oh my goodness @DoraBella88, my heart goes out to you, what an awful time you’re having. I hope you’ll get an answer soon and they can work out what’s going on.

I've read your thread, and one hell of a roller coaster you've been on. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I can only imagine how confusing this is. Sending you a hug right now x

Oh what a rollercoaster. Do you still test positive or has that completely faded now? I hope the specialist can explain what's going on with you tomorrow.

I hadn’t tested since Sunday when I was still getting a strong positive on CB and digital.

its 3.30am and i decided to test with the easy at home test, its got a faint line on it, which i did expect if I’ve still got the hormones in me, but these tests have never really had a dark line on them. Although this line isn’t a squinter 🤷🏻‍♀️ currently camped out in the bathroom with 2 of my cats for company trying to digest what the hell is happening

Thank you ladies. The levels have risen by 9 so are still really low. But they’ve risen which has concerned them again.

the lady that called has already told me that if this is a pregnancy then it won’t be a viable one.

the rollercoaster continues and I really want to get off now. I’ve cried so much tonight. I called my best friend who is a midwife and she’s confused and googling away. I asked the nurse who called if they were worried about eptopic and she said she couldn’t rule it out.

Incakewetrust · 14/08/2024 21:18

Omg!! I honestly wasn't expecting that!
Did they say what they've risen to?

I really hope you have a little miracle and everything works out 🤞

Ladies!!!! Talk about a spanner in the bloody works.

hospital called. My levels have risen!!!!!

So tomorrow they are going to discuss my case with the specialist and then call me.

I have been reading your thread and haven't yet commented but felt I had to comment now - genuinely hoping the best for you and all my best wishes are with you for a happy result. I can't even imagine how hard this has all been for you. You've been amazingly strong. I am thinking about you and hope this is a good sign! Xx
