Thanks for all the good wishes ladies. Hope you don't mind if I stay on here, waiting for the rest of the bfp's. plus you're friends (cheesy but true).

mampam can't believe your still so ill, that must be horrendous. Hope you enjoy your dinner. How far on are you now?

inshock my nhs ivf apt is next month. Not contacted fc or dr yet as scared of loosing my space having waited so long for it then the worst happening. I know I've got to though.

Thanks for the welcome back, I'm ok, fee,ing much more normal now (not sure others would agree with that but ho hum!)

4 weeks until our big holiday and hopefully can then start TTC. Can actually start in two weeks but not worth the risk with being away, just in case. i should've been coming up for 15 weeks this weekend and finding this week a little hard, there seems to be pregnant women everywhere go. Is it really shallow that I'm also disappointed that I can't buy some little things whilst away (outlets in Florida are stupidly cheap).

Mamoam I hope the sickness goes soon.

In shock it does get consuming doesn't it, it's nice to be back though.

Hi, yes I did enjoy my dinner thank you!!

I'm 19 weeks and have my 20wk scan next week!!! Quite annoying how the sickness just will not go away but at least the sun is mostly shining, somehow I think feeling like this in the middle of winter would make it seem worse.

Tranquility I really hope you enjoy your holiday. You'll be refreshed when you get back and ready to ttc again. Sorry you are finding this week hard

Glad you are feeling a little better now Tranquility and you have a nice holiday to look forward to. I do know that feeling of pregnant women being everywhere and I still get a little angry at the sight of them . I think that feeling is hard to shift after ttc 30 months and a miscarriage! It doesn't just go away. But if I can get diffed after this long then you all can too.

I'm so pleased for Ginger's bfp and I am rooting for everyone else on here. I'll be checking in with you all but maybe won't post as much. Don't want to make anyone feel bad.

Lots of luck and calmness to all of you ladies.

Just wondered is this thread still active or are you all very quiet?
Hope you are all doing well especially gingerbread
I tested again on Friday and of course a bfn! No sign of AF yet though!

Hi tilly, I've been lurking. It has gone very quiet, hopefully it won't stay like that. I'm 95% sure I'm no longer pregnant. Did a cb digi yesterday, said 1-2wks (should be 2-: but at least better than preg). Did IC cheapie yesterday then again this morning. Negative. I'm distraught, dp told me to stop testing but of course I haven't, scared to tell him. He's gonna be so sad.

Sorry to bring anyone down.

When's AF due tilly, sounds promising, fx...,

I'm so sorry gingerbread, have you seen any doctors yet? Ask them for a scan, at least that way you will know for sure
Thinking of you I know how hard it is xx

I'm going to call them tomorrow. I just feel sick, I knew it was too good to be true. Will try a frer later today. I am so fed up of all this!!!

Ginger I don't know what to say, sending you a hug x are you having any other symptoms you're not pregnant apart from a negative test?

Thanks inshock, it helps having you guys to talk too, don't need to sugar coat it. No, it's very confusing. No bleeding or spotting. Boobs started to get sore yesterday, dizzy, hungry & tired. But, the mild cramps I had have mostly stopped & that awareness of something feeling different in my uterus has gone. Fucking sucks. I'm gonna adopt.

See what the frer says, it might be just the IC not picking up the hormones well, how far on do you think you are?
Sending you big hugs xxx

Don't lose all hope just yet but prepare yourself for the worst. I'm inclined to say if you're still having preg symptoms that's a good sign and there's lots of people who get early neg tests and are pregnant. There's nothing you can do apart from wait this one out. I really feel for you, if you are having a mc the pregnancy symptoms can continue until the hormones have stopped. I would leave it a few days before taking another pregnancy test if you can, if you give it a few more days you're more likely to get an accurate result. Drs/hospital probably won't give you a scan as it's so early, I went to A&E when I was 6/7 weeks and bleeding heavily and tbh all you can see is a tint blob.

Will do one frer later, if that's neg then at least I know. If positive it could all be due to rubbish IC (but deep down don't think so).

Will call drs/epu tomorrow. Thanks so much for support, sorry I seem to be hogging the thread & technically I shouldn't even be on here.

By lmp I'm 5+2.

Oh Ginger hope you are ok? Those digital tests aren't that sensitive so don't give up hope.

Don't be silly Ginger we're all on this journey together now, you'd be missed if you left this thread! Besides hearing all about the BFP's and the good news is encouraging for the rest of us. Hope you're holding up ok x

How's everyone doing?

Tilly any sign of AF or a BFP yet?
Mampam pleased all is going well for you. Don't forget to update us after the scan! Are you going to find out what you're having?
Tranquility I've had another friend announce her pregnancy in the last week. I've now taken to avoiding Facebook so I don't see the announcements, there seems to be a new pregnancy every week!
Fankle hope all continues to be good with you.

I'm on cd14 and pleased its fallen on a weekend this time, it always seems to be during the week when we're both crazy busy with work and can't be bothered to dtd or simply don't see each other! I'm trying to get myself on a high protein/low carb/non existent caffeine and sugar diet but struggling to find the will power. Eating carrot cake with a latte as I'm writing this :)

Waves to everyone else! :)

Frer was negative

Thanks for the support

Thinking of you Ginger xx

Och Ginger what a head fuck. So sorry you're having these negative tests but it might be just one of those weird things that happen in early pregnancy. Blood tests are much better at confirming how pregnant you are. Could you maybe go and ask your doctor to to do some blood tests and check your hcg levels are going up?

I know it's tempting to keep poas but if you're still feeling pregnancy symptoms then just try to trust it's all ok. I know it's hard and confusing with these test results...so I am thinking of you and keeping everything crossed for you. Hope you can get some answers from your doctor.

I've got my fingers crossed for you ginger, and hope you can get a doctor's appt. as soon as possible...

Fingers crossed for you Ginger Hope you are ok?

Inshock No not going to find out the sex, going to have a surprise

oh how exciting mampam :)

I'm on cd15 today and I think DP has picked up on when its that time as he's been calling himself the milkman all weekend! eeeeeeew! :)

How are you ginger did you get an appt with your GP?
Still waiting for AF I stopped bleeding on the 29/05 but it felt like AF for those few days and my cycle is normally 28 days..I have tested on Friday and it was a bfn
Symptom spotting today though as I had pain in my boobs!! I know my cycle will be messed up since the mc though

Hi all. Still no further forward really. Still have some symptoms but uterus feels empty now if that makes any sense. Still no spotting or blood. Called epu who passed on info to my fc receptionist. She just said they'd do a test on fri when I have my apt. Great, another week in limbo. Wish the bleeding would just start. My mum had an op yesterday & ended up in high dependency, in a normal ward now. Plus thought my cat was going to die, he started being sick & really went down hill. He's back being an annoying (but lovable) wee shit so all is well there. Yesterday sucked.

Thanks for the good wishes.
inshock that's like something my dp would say .

tilly hope you get a bfp rather than AF xxx
