hi everyone, my husband and I were delighted we'd conceived baby #3 3 months after having my mirena removed. Unfortunately I miscarried at around 6 weeks, my bleeding started on 6th July and ended on 15th July, my hcg levels never got above 143 so they left my system pretty quick, by the 18th I was having bfn at the drs. I wondered when should I expect my AF? before the mc I was always 28 days bang on! I have had no symptoms for AF, although I have had really bad heartburn for 4 days, this was my first symptom last time too, so could I be pregnant? I'm useless at working out dates and cycles and ovulation etc..... we bd'd on 15th July and have been pretty consistently b'ding every other night since then with the exception of a couple of days. when should a test show bfp given all these dates? thanks for taking the time to read, hope someone has some advice for me x

Yeah that's pretty much what happened to us last night greeneone, work and life do get in the way sometimes! Made up for it this morning tho! My temp has been going up by 0.1 since Thursday so not quite sure where I am. Hoping to see proper shift tomorrow.

Ahh Positive so frustrating for you. If no line at all then yeah prob not worth money on the digi. Really hope you get an answer soon.

Enjoy your meal tonight greeneone and don't forget to get jiggy after! Wink I'm glad I have some who'll be in the 2ww with me ... I hate waiting!!!

MrsAnderson22 · 14/09/2013 11:37

poas again today, the spare digi......bfn still, still no AF either. in my head I'm think 3 days late ovulating= 3 days late AF....or is that just too easy? so possible new due date for AF is Monday now xx

Just reading about you all DTD makes me tired. I am glad we don't have to do it ever again. Poor hubby - we've gone from all to nothing!

Have 2 drinking sessions coming up over the next couple of weeks, one is a friends birthday at a pub with a band. There will be 5 of us, as soon as I order a diet coke they are just SO going to know i'm upduffed. As awful as it sounds I might use MC as an excuse & just say after what happened & as we're trying I just don't want to ruin anything. I'm determined for them not to know. I'll only be 7 weeks!! The other drinking session I think I'm going to have to pull a sickie. I never bloody go anywhere & Sod's law 2 things come up at once.

MrsRV · 14/09/2013 11:47

Bloody stupid tests not giving BFP's.

MrsAnderson22 · 14/09/2013 17:41

currently sitting in a&e with my aches and pains, casually smile at the nurse who's assessing me and I'm whisked into a cubicle, given a gown and put on the Dr's list.....apparently my smile is droopy on the left side!! aaaah so scared :'( xx

Don't be scared you're in the right place.

You'll be ok. Lots of hugs. Keep us posted, I'll be thinking of you xx

Positivementakattitude · 14/09/2013 20:17

cheesysmile · 14/09/2013 22:20

OMG MrsA, thinking of you. Let us know you're ok.

Positive wait for fmu, you can do it!

MrsAnderson22 · 14/09/2013 23:32

hi everyone, so I'm being kept in overnight and getting a CT scan tomorrow morning. hopefully know more after the scan. still no AF, no cramps but sore boobs so fingers crossed :) xx

MrsAnderson22 · 14/09/2013 23:54

to top it off I've been in the hospital since 2pm on my own as DH has to look after the kids. we live in england in the same town/next town to all his family, my whole entire family live in scotland! I've gone through; (in this hospital) gallstone pain many times, gallbladder removal, being told I was pregnant at a&e, being told I was losing it a different night, being told I could be having a stroke/bells palsy/lyme disease/neurological disorder....all on my own as his family aren't nice enough to offer to sit with the kids while DH comes to sit with me. It's unbelievable! rant over, I'm just a little worried, sore, emotional and lonely at the minute xx

cheesysmile · 15/09/2013 00:12

Oh MrsA I'm so sorry, i really feel for you. Hospitals are horrid and being on your own must make it so much worse. I know the only time i ever had to stay over night in hospital i cried when dh had to go home and i hardly got any sleep. I really hope you get some answers tomorrow and can at least go home. Thinking of you x

greeneone12 · 15/09/2013 09:42

Mrs A I know it must be so horrible without DH but thank goodness your being checked properly now. The stress with conceiving is bad enough, let alone worrying about something huge like this too. Really hope they can give you an answer soon so they can sort some treatmemt.

I think we're only going to end up DTD three times this fertile period so very little chance we will get BFP this month.

cheesysmile · 15/09/2013 10:11

You only need once at the right time! Think we've only dtd 3 times too but well timed I think.

My temp up this morning so think I am now officially in the 2ww!

MrsA how you doing this morning? I hope you managed to get some sleep.

MrsAnderson22 · 15/09/2013 11:10

hi, I haven't managed any sleep through the night, the 74 year old lady in the bed next to me is in an awful lot of pain bless her, she's been screaming and moaning and pressing her buzzer all night. feel so sorry for her :( I'm still in agony, waiting for CT scan then results hopefully!

still no AF, boobs still sore on the sides, sorer than normal AF pain but not as sore as my usual pregnancy pain, we'll see what tomorrow brings xx

Oh MrsA I wish I could bring you some flowers. Thinking of you x

Positivementakattitude · 15/09/2013 15:48

Arrrr mrs a hope all ok and let home soon!

Bfn ... Still no AF cd 38 and 20 dpo grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Outcome num 1 I never ovulated this month ( even with 3 poisitive opks - the more likely outcome

2 I'm pregnant and one of rare ones where can't get bfp on HPT yet

Either way its shit ! I just wanna know - also if not preg when will I ovulate when is cycle day 1 ?????? Also done opk and faint line today just to confuse even more

I'm going insane completely wanna drink bt not even sure I can grrrrr grrrrr f'ing grrrrrrrrr

cheesysmile · 15/09/2013 16:19

Ah positive that is shit. I don't have any pearls of wisdom to add, just really hope you get an answer soon as I can imagine how frustrating it is.

Ive had v tender boobs today / yesterday, is that an ovulation thing, never really had before?

MraA are you home yet / had any results? Flowers

MrsAnderson22 · 15/09/2013 16:37

hi ladies, I've been transferred to a different hospital to have and MRI scan, which should be in the next couple of days hopefully! face is droopier than yesterday but Dr's don't seem to be in a hurry to scan me?!!

still no AF, still have tender boobs amd still getting bfn's nurses have just gave me a urine test in a packet which was chinese :/ that was bfn too no idea how sensitive it is. I requested a blood test be done so that if I'm definitely not pregnant I can have stronger painkillers as this codeine isn't touching the pain, quite a reasonable request I thought! I was told no as the blood tests are so expensive they wouldn't do one :'(

so if AF doesn't appear tomorrow I'm totally and utterly confused! my cycle has never been longer than 28 days, and I've never been late apart from when pregnant of course xx

Positivementakattitude · 15/09/2013 17:39

Thanks cheesy not sure what to do tbh might need to go back to the docs - that already think I'm going insane ?!

Mrs a awwwww little sods ent they what do we pay out taxes for ey can't even get a bloody blood test !!! Grrrrr

I'm sooo angry today raaaaaaaar grrrrrrr lool

MrsRV · 15/09/2013 19:31

MrsA - you must be feeling awful. Was it a nurse that said no to blood test? If so, ask a Dr!! Hospitals are shocking at weekends, its almost like the staff are there to keep things ticking over until the real work begins on Monday! This seems to be the experiences I've had anyway!!!

Have you been able to see Hubby or children today? Did grandma mo send you over a roast? Grin

Cheesy - count down begins!!!!!

Positive - still keeping fingers crossed! I am generally quite angry when I'm up the duff. Maybe!?!?!

MrsRV · 15/09/2013 19:32

P.s. when do you think we should start a new thread. Getting annoyed by scrolling down on iPhone!!!!!

Leons · 15/09/2013 20:29

MrsA how r u tonight? Ive been dipping in and out all day to see ur updates (my oh thinks Im on facebook). I agree with MrsRV hospitals at weekends are awful, you are literally just waiting for the staff to turn up on Monday am.

My af has finished, it wasnt too bad, very light with just 1 heavy day. However Im still feeling really uncomfortable, constipated and bunged up feeling, with feeling of pressure beneath my belly button and above pelvic area. Getting painful twinges on and off the last 2 days too. Boobs still slightly tender/sore, pain in right side that goes thro to back. I normally get that when ovulating, cld I be ovulating this early, I would only be CD7. I have a lot of CM too.

Positive - i saw ur new thread, recognised it by title alone. Still keep fingers crossed.

MrsAnderson22 · 15/09/2013 21:09

hi ladies :) I can't remember what part I was up to :/ getting mri done tomorrow or tuesday, face is getting worse, it was a consultant I asked for a blood test, hubby and kids have been in twice today so that was good to see them :) dd left a little upset and wanted to take me home! bless her! MrsRV on my app there is a button on the top right when you press it it says add message blah blah and flip this thread, means it takes me staight to the bottom of the page. I'm on android though so might be different. xx

cheesysmile · 15/09/2013 23:00

Hi leons, glad af not too bad. I guess you cud be ovulating, seems early but if you've got the signs I wud dtd just in case. Are you doing opks?

MrsA glad you got to see dh and kids. Good luck for MRI scan, hope the hospital kicks into gear for you tomorrow.

MrsRV · 16/09/2013 07:13

I'm running late this morning so won't stop to chat - however, flip this thread - hooray!!!!!!!GrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrin
