We DTD on CD7, and I normally ovulate around CD13-14, which I did this month too I think (hard to tell as cm was a bit unreadable). There probably is very slim chance abut I'd rather ignore it.

chasingtherainbow · 04/03/2015 08:32

Heaven.. deep breathes. Talk to us. Are you bleeding/in pain? Do you feel like you need a check over? You sound extremely anxious Flowers Can you work from home? Xxxxxx

northdownmummy · 04/03/2015 08:48

heaven are you still having aches and cramps or has it progressed? Any spotting?

I totally get the paranoia, fingers crossed that's all it is. But if I'm remembering right you're around 6weeks so might be worth a trip to the EPU to get some reassurance

We're all here I'd you want to worry aloud.

GuybrushThreepwoodMP · 04/03/2015 09:27

What's happening heaven?

I rang in sick with 'gynae issues' when I suspected I was mc. No one asks about that.

I hope things work out ok Flowers

MsJupiter · 04/03/2015 09:44

I would go with gr33dy's suggestion if you haven't already. Fingers xed for you that it's a false alarm. All the best x

chasingtherainbow · 04/03/2015 09:47

Thinking if you heaven x

CarrotPuff · 04/03/2015 11:50

Oh Heaven I hope you're ok Flowers

HeavenKnowsImNotSoMiserable · 04/03/2015 11:55

Hi ladies, I told my manager very early on with both pregnancies as I knew I would be covered by the law regarding time off/discrimination etc as soon he was informed. Luckily he's v understanding and told me to have a day off.

I'm not in much pain but the bleeding is getting heavier. I've got an appointment at the EPU this afternoon to scan for ectopic and have a speculum examination. It doesn't feel like my last mc, but that was at 11+4 wks and I'm only 5+3 at the moment, so it's very different kettle of fish.

I've also spoke to the community mw this morning who pointed out that my bitching case of thrush might be contributing to my bleeding, ahh, the glamours of pregnancy!

FX I'm one of those 50% of women who have mystery bleeds and goes on to have their little un.

Thanks everyone for your msgs, your doing my mental health the world of good whilst I'm going through this really scary crap. Big hugs all round x

Amyyy27 · 04/03/2015 11:58

Heaven I have everything crossed for you my lovely. You just rest and let us know how you get on xx

chasingtherainbow · 04/03/2015 12:50

I hope you have a positive scale later heaven. They'll probably have you back in a week or so to see a hb too xxx

Ok I'm packing for weekend away. AF due Monday. Do I pack frer for early testing????

Amyyy27 · 04/03/2015 13:18

Chasing I totally would but up to you hun. I guess you have to decide whether you would rather know even if it was a BFN or whether you would rather wait and enjoy your holiday.

StockingFullOfCoal · 04/03/2015 13:53

Hi all, sorry for the absence. AF arrived 5 days late and I was surprised to find I was quite upset.

DH is home now and we are working through it. I am temporarily taking Cerazette as we are having to save for me to have private dental work. I've tried to let the NHS dentist do the work under local several times but my anxiety isn't allowing it and he refuses to send me for sedation at Community Dental. Looking at £800ish for private. Have an appointment next Wednesday to register and have an exam, £70.

I don't want to be pregnant whilst I'm taking painkillers regularly and I don't want to be worrying that the IV sedation will hurt any potential baby. Fingers crossed we can save by early April and I can throw this pill away.

Was at a birthday party with DDs last Friday. Host Mum heavily pregnant. Felt like a stab in the heart every time I saw her. An old friend just announced a pregnancy after 2 months haphazardly TTC and I just feel sick with envy and I'm sat crying. Yet I am so so nervous of getting pregnant again.

Anyone care to tell me what I've missed?

GirlSailor · 04/03/2015 14:06

I feel like I've missed so much in the last couple of days. Woop for the bfps! So glad for you!

The epu (no autocorrect, not the emu) wanted me to take a test last Friday and call with the result. It was faintly positive but I wasn't too worried it was 9 days since mc started and bleeding was just tailing off. From what I've read it can take over a week to get a bfn without there being anything wrong, but after I called them first thing they called me back (at 6:30pm so I didn't need to have checked my phone every 2 min all day!) to ask me to come in as early as possible on Saturday.

I didn't bother testing on Saturday and turned up nice and early only to get a bfn at the epu. It was a pleasant surprise, but the nurse I spoke to seemed very perplexed by the whole thing. She kept saying how she didn't know how it could go from positive to negative in just one day so I must have had it wrong the day before. I've tested every couple of days and it had been getting fainter and fainter but still there, so I was assuming at one point the line would disappear unless stuff was outstaying its welcome - I mean it's a binary test, there's a line or there isn't, surely?

Anyway, they were all very nice at the epu, the only problem is that the main hospital doors are automatic but not very responsive so whenever I try to leave they just stay shut and I have to wait until someone taller and heavier also tries to go out. It makes me feel all sixth sense and worry that I may have died but not realised it...

I asked about what I should expect from my WTF cycle and they said I should have a normal af in 4-6 weeks after the bleeding stops. I'm still counting the first day of bleeding as cd1 though, as that seemed easiest, but do shout at me if that's wrong. I'm using opks for the first time so currently seeing a fait line and waiting for it to get darker. Hopefully will be a short wait, but at least I've got something to pee on in the meantime.

Amyyy27 · 04/03/2015 14:32

Girl thank you!

I agree there would either be a line or no line.. I'm not sure what she was thinking Grin

You are right, CD1 is the first day of bleeding. Hope you are feeling a bit better now you have your BFN ( I know its horribly bittersweet!) Good luck with your sticky bean!

Stocking sorry for the baby bomb :( they are so difficult, but I am sure you will have your BFP to announce one day! Its a shame you have to wait until your dental work is complete but I totally understand and its definitely the sensible thing to do. Flowers

Bristolian1 · 04/03/2015 14:59

Chasing I think I would try to wait til Monday - if you get BFN it might just be too early, but it could get you down and reduce your enjoyment of your weekend! Of course fx for a BFP, and also second what Amyy says - it's up to you!

I've not tested today. AF is due today (though I have endo so not always regular) and it does feel like she is on her way. I guess I'll test in the morning if she's still not here. Not feeling very hopeful Sad

MsJupiter · 04/03/2015 15:14

Thinking of you Heaven, hope things are going well this afternoon.

Stocking sorry to hear you have been having a hard time, it does blindside you doesn't it. Double whammy of AF and BB is not surprising you were feeling down.

Chasing you probably should wait but I am not the best person to advocate for patience Wink I think the others are right that you don't want it to spoil your weekend - I am sure you'll still be thinking about it though.

GirlSailor that is weird she was so perplexed by your BFN - as you say it's got to disappear at some point. I had a very long wtf cycle but if your body is getting ready to ovulate then it sounds like yours will be quicker. Are you ttc this cycle or waiting?

GirlSailor · 04/03/2015 15:26

Thanks Amyyy27! I haven't been so happy to see a no line since I was a teenager... Blush

They are a lovely bunch at the epu, and I felt like they took me seriously and checked everything out, which I never feel about anything gynae related when I got to the gp, but I was ticked off to have my ability to POAS questioned! Having said that, I peed in a jar to do my opk on Sunday and promptly knocked the whole lot on the floor. I'm a pro Grin

Did anyone else feel physically wiped out during mc? My job can be very full on with no-one to cover me so I didn't take any time off but really felt exhausted throughout and am just about feeling myself again. I really should stop excusing myself from going running now.

Here's to more bfps for everyone still waiting!

chasingtherainbow · 04/03/2015 15:52

.... yeah. Yeah. .. probably going to take them with me Blush

TeenieDeenie · 04/03/2015 16:45

Hi all!

Congratulations Jupiter Such fantastic news, and what a great month for BFPs so far! Smile

Heaven I hope you're doing ok, do let us know how you get on this afternoon. x

Stocking it's definitely sensible to have your dental work done before ttc again. Hopefully it won't be long. Hugs. x

A little update from me. CD39 today, 12 days late but now know this is not due to being pg. I was at the doctors yesterday as the pain, cramps and bloating were getting worse. EPU advised to see my GP straight away. I had urine tests and swabs done and after examination my GP confirmed something is definitely going on inside, most likely an infection but possibly along with something else. The doctor said she is slightly puzzled (that can't be good?) but can't be sure until the tests come back on Friday. In the meantime she has put me on a general antibiotic that will kill off infection in the pelvic region and will call on Friday afternoon with my results and to discuss any further medication I may need. Is this fucking experience ever going to end? Just when you think you're out the other side, something else happens!

Has anyone had experience of infection? And if so what meds did you get to clear it? Did they work etc?

chasingtherainbow · 04/03/2015 16:50

Teenie what a nightmare!!!! Are you feeling ok? Hot water bottle and pj's for you xx

Heaven are you ok?

...I feel completely immobilised with fear after just finding golden cm in my knickers. I know what this usually means and I'm terrified and close to tears. I hadn't expected to feel like this and now even more reluctant to actually test.

GuybrushThreepwoodMP · 04/03/2015 17:23

Well I definitely didn't imagine it. 11dpo. Right, no more testing until after missed period.
