Oh, fucksake, that's definitely a line. I don't know whether to congratulate you or not right now. Thank God you've got a doc's appointment in a couple of hours, but I don't know what they are going to be able to tell you....are you too early for an early scan? How much blood is there?

Tranquilitybaby · 16/09/2014 11:48

Feel absolutely shellshocked. BFN yesterday morning, today this!

Just when I wipe, it's not bright red, just brown/dark red and watery when I wipe. So not great as like my ectopic, but I got a full period with that.

Feel a bit crampy though :0/ x

Tranquilitybaby · 16/09/2014 11:50

And I was only due on Sunday so too early x

stubbornstains · 16/09/2014 11:51

OK, could be implantation bleeding.....Hopefully the doc will be able to say more. How many DPO are you, btw? I have everything crossed for you xxxxx

Tranquilitybaby · 16/09/2014 11:56

15/16 Dpo. I've had brown discharge since Thursday so I'm guessing too long to be implantation bleeding. Thanks x

stubbornstains · 16/09/2014 12:03

Well, some people do get early pregnancy spotting and go on to have healthy pregnancies.....some people only get positives on HPTs at 15/16 DPO....
more finger crossing etc...xxx

Gingerbreadlady1 · 16/09/2014 12:35

Oh my god tranquility!!!! That's def a line! And bleeding in early preg is really common, not just due to implantation, such as cervical changes. Wait & see what dtd say but I reckon it's a waiting game. Think you'll have to do what I'm doing & test every few dsys & see if lines get darker.

I'm good thanks stubborn, a week today I found out, yesterday's test lol! I'm a poas addict. What's happening with you & clomid?

That looks really healthy ginger! Hurrah! I'm actually going to make the doctor's appt. right now, but I'm sure there'll be some waiting time even if I get a referral. How long did you have to wait between referral and appointment?

Gingerbreadlady1 · 16/09/2014 13:13

I honestly can't remember sorry, it was over a year ago. I liked clomid as it regulated my crazy cycles, interestingly my prog levels were the same au naturale & on clomid. Got my apt letter for iui yesterday, gonna call & try to push it back a month but not cancelling it yet, still v early days.

tranquility let us know how you get on.

Mmmmm....maybe it wouldn't work for me then Hmm. But it would certainly be good to see a fertility consultant and discuss my options. I've made the appt. now- for Thursday (it's a quiet work day today, so I'm at home doing all my admin tasks and making all the phone calls I need to and Mumsnetting).

By the way, every time prog is mentioned I can't help thinking of Genesis, Yes, Mike Oldfield etc....do you think listening to prog rock might help your PROGesterone levels?! Grin

Tranquilitybaby · 16/09/2014 13:37

Well the GP barely listened to me, just wanted me to get a tribe sakple sent off quickly as the last pick up was happening. She looked at the test and said she couldn't really see a line either Confused

You couldn't make it up though, did the sample, stood up from the toulet and there was bright red blood in the pain Sad
This is such a bloody rollercoaster.

Tranquilitybaby · 16/09/2014 13:37

In the pan, not pain

Tranquilitybaby · 16/09/2014 13:38

OMG this phone - urine sample not tribe sakple

patch77 · 16/09/2014 13:42

Its arrived full on this morning. Rang hospital. No room for a scan this cycle.

stubbornstains · 16/09/2014 14:01

I'm sorry tranquility, I really hoped she'd be more help. And I'm really sorry about the blood Sad. Has it continued?

Tranquilitybaby · 16/09/2014 14:06

Only every time in go to the toilet and wipe.

stubbornstains · 16/09/2014 14:10

OH MY GOD TRANQUILITY'S BODY WILL YOU STOP TORTURING HER!!!

Tranquilitybaby · 16/09/2014 14:12

Glad your tests are continuing to get darker Gingerbread, it all looks very positive this time. X

Tranquilitybaby · 16/09/2014 15:07

Sorry to hog the thread, but I really think it's going to be over before it's begun sadly. Really cramping now, I wish I hadn't tested this morning now. Sad

One thing I am worried about is I've been taking baby aspirin (81mg) since July and my periods since have been v light. Because this months one seemed to be non existent apart from spotting, I stopped taking it two days ago. Hoping I haven't caused anything to happen by doing that.

stubbornstains · 16/09/2014 16:03

So sad you're going through this tranquility Thanks

450fromPaddington · 16/09/2014 21:35

TRANQUILTY - that is definitely a +ve pregnancy test. The line should get darker over time if u repeat. Best of luck, I hope everything goes well Smile

Tranquilitybaby · 16/09/2014 22:24

Thank you girls. I know it is, despite the GP's dismissal, but the bleeding that's followed this afternoon is very unsettling. Not much on a pad but bright red whenever I go for a wee. What will be will be I guess. Xx

winkywinkola · 16/09/2014 22:42

Do keep us posted tranquility

BingoBonkers · 16/09/2014 23:03

Oh Tranq Sad I'm so very sorry that this is happening. It's physically and emotionally draining in every way. It's the not knowing that is so very hard. >>>>>

Tranquilitybaby · 17/09/2014 04:59

I've been up half the night in a lot pain and bleeding so guessing that's it. Didn't realise it would be so painful so early on though. Sad
