3 month break after 'delayed period'??

[Fingerscrossed10]

Hi ladies,
I have just suffered 2 'delayed periods' both with positive tests pregnancy tests and all the symptoms. I have no idea why and the doctor just said 'chin up and keep trying' but also recommended a 3 month break. When I queried this he could offer no medical reason as to why!
Just wondered if anyone else has been in this situation and seen a more helpful doctor than mine!!!

Ooh yes I would be happy to hear some tips too!

Nothing to report yet fingers but I am usually exactly to the day so plenty of time for af to turn up and had a few light cramps yesterday so chances are it will appear!

How are you doing?

Oh rubbish, I'm not feeling very hopeful either but still another week wait for me! Feels really long this time, prob because I think we haven't been lucky this time and want to try again!
Also had another friend announce they are pregnant this week, I know they have had their own battles with it so am really pleased for them but the green eyed monster is still there!
Fingers crossed xxx

Oh no I totally sympathise, it is so hard to hear no matter what the circumstances and no matter how hard you try not to feel jealous!

I don't know about you but I feel this cycle is messed up anyway because of the chem pregnancy. Even if af doesnt come tomorrow, there is every chance I ov'd later so won't test for at least a week! Even then I wont get my hopes up because feel like hormones could be all over the place

Yeah, no idea what's going either! I did go straight back to a normal cycle last time though so figure af will still appear on time!

Any news dreamer?!?

Hey fingers, nothing to report really! I'm three days late now BUT this afternoon (prepare for tmi!!) I had one blob of very light brown discharge, nothing at all since but I will probably be reporting back with af by tomorrow. I have also had light cramping since last week. Just want af to arrive properly now, it's so frustrating and soooo disappointing

Hows things with you?

Whoops, I am terrible at this nc stuff! [Blush] That was me though!!

I give up!!

Haha!! What you doing?! You're confusing me with all these different names!!
Do you think you are definitely out now??
I don't want to get my hopes up but I have sore boobs!! Still 3 days until af is due and it may just be that on its way!! Didn't get my bfp til I was a week late last time... Bored of waiting too!!!!
Fingers crossed xxx

Haha sorry i'm terrible at this!

I really dont know to be honest...when I saw it, I had a good cry and thought that was it and I still think I will probably come on properly tomorrow. But am surprised I haven't this evening and still feel a little bit hopeful but don't want to get my hopes up!

Ooh that does sound promising though for you! The wait is awful isnt it because you cant help getting your hopes up! Fingers crossed for you though!!

Oh it's so hard! Really feel for you! Hopefully it was just a random bit of stuff and not af!!
I don't know might just be imagining it all!! We will see....

Thank you! I hope so too but definately feeling i'm not going to be now. Was going to test Friday if I hadn't had af. If I get af tomorrow though, my friend gets married on saturday and I am going to get very drunk for once!!

Hope you get through the last few days ok, when are you going to test?

Oh that's sounds like a great idea to cheer yourself up! I'm thinking the same as I am out to dinner sat night!
Think I will test sat am if still no af by then. Still not feeling very hopeful about it though!
How are you feeling today?

Well at least we have something to look forward to, I find allowing myself non pregnancy treats like that really helps!

Well af didnt come as expected, must have been a random bit of funny coloured cm. So four days late now but more than likely related to the chemical last month messing my cycle up. Perhaps I didn't ovulate or am just late. Too scared to test just yet after last month!

Yes treats definitely help with the disappointments!!
Wow 4 days late! Can't believe you haven't cracked and tested already! But completely understand your fear, it's not like a positive test is going to mean much to us!! I fear this worry won't end until we get those scans done....
I have stocked up on tests today, I have no idea what way it's going to go for me this month but whatever happens I know I'm not going to believe just one!!!

Haha I know what you mean, what brands do you go for?

I vowed last month not to test until a week after I was due so i'm trying to stick to that. I guess I feel like as long as i'm not bleeding there is still hope whereas once I have that bfn it's over! Also like you say, even if it was positive I'd be just waiting to start bleeding again.

I would probably try and leave it longer if I didn't have this wedding on saturday which i need to know before!

I went for an early response and a digital clear blue! No idea what's best really!!
Have you got any symptoms? I don't feel anywhere near as bad as last month but can't decide if that's a valid comparison really, What do you think?
My hopefulness is seriously fading the closer I get to af due date!

I know what you mean, I really cant decide whether a digital would be best because it stops the over analysing of the line darkness, but I got a positive on a digital before the chemical last month so maybe would give me false hope if it did come back positive. Also worse seeing the words "not pregnant" is a killer. So hard to decide!

I have had light cramps on and off but mainly on for a week now. I also keep thinking my nipples feel sensitive every now and then, but they have been a bit sensitive since I stopped bf my ds two months ago so that one might just be coincidence.

If it helps, I really don't actively symptom spot in the 2ww because with my ds my first symptom was really sensitive nipples which didnt start until I was about 6 weeks and nausea didnt start until 6-7 weeks so ime symptoms came later. Different for everyone though, do you feel any?

What makes you think it wont be good news?

Haha!! I know exactly what you mean!! Both have pros and cons! I just feel the words take away that uncertainty, somehow it just seems more real seeing it in black and white and not a vague pink line!
How you feeling today? I reckon you might be drinking lemonade on sat night!!
I had the same as you today, a tiny bit of random stuff and thought I was out but nothing since... Will see what happens next but don't think I've been lucky this month!

Any updates?!? I'm totally out!!! Af here with a vengeance! Boooo!! X

Hey fingers so sorry I havent been back for a while, I have had a bit of a mad week or so. Hows things with you?

I have a little update, if you are still around after my long abscence!

Thought you might have!!!!!! Spill!!!
Things are good with me back trying again and am feeling hopeful!

Ahh thats really good, will be keeping my fingers crossed that this is your month!

Haha well a week last tuesday I decided last thing at night to do a test the next morning. I wanted to do a dye test but the local tesco only had digis! Then I woke up at 3.30am, couldnt decide whether that counted as fmu but my dp said go for it....so in the middle of the night I did my test and within 30 seconds it popped up bfp 2-3 weeks!! I didnt sleep the rest of the night!

I have been terrified to get excited though and that is kindve why I didnt come back on here, I am just scared that if I say it to anyone it will jinx it somehow. I just keep expecting to see blood again.

Then on Wednesday I started having niggling pains in my right side. I wasnt too worried until I went to the loo on thursday evening and had the teeniest bit of spotting. So I rang the epu for some advice as I estimated I was around 6 weeks yesterday so had made it past the chemical pregnancy stage. They were lovely and told me to come in right away. When I was examined the doctor was concerned that it might be ectopic so booked me in for a scan the next morning.

I had my scan yesterday morning and saw the sac...it was good news, all is in the right place thank god and they said I am about 5.5 weeks. However they couldnt see all the membranes around the sac and there was no heartbeat just a sac. They said they dont normally scan so early to check the baby so it is more than likely because it is too early. It is procedure to scan again now though so I need to go back in two weeks to check the pregnancy has developed. Naturally I am now worrying sick that something is wrong and that there will be no heart beat etc but will just have to try to put it to the back of my mind and stay positive because it is going to be a long two weeks! I am also staying away from google on this as I know I cant do anything about the outcome.

Sorry for the essay!!

Oh wow! I guessed there was something going on but poor you what a roller coaster of emotions you must be going through!!
As hard as it must be you must take some comfort in the fact it's being monitored so closely and just keep everything crossed for the next 2 weeks.
Big congrats to you make sure you make take it easy and please do keep me updated!!

Ahh thank you that's so lovely of you! And i'm sorry again, I felt awful not coming back on but when I got my bfp I was scared to be excited and kindve went into a bit of shock I suppose. Only me and my dp know and I dont even feel like its real. I don't think i'll be able to get excited unless it is good news on the scan so really trying to block it out at the moment.

I'm going to keep myself off google and anything to do with pregnancy until after my scan I think but thank you so much for your support and I will definately come back and update you whatever happens! Scan is on 12th so will be back then! And I think you will be coming towards the end of your tww by then?! So make sure you keep me posted too! X
