MrsC Im sorry to hear what you're going through, we're all here to support you. x

CD42 here. Still no period.Got my swab results back yesterday and they were not showing any infection and neither was my urine. However when my GP took the swabs on Tuesday she said I had a a lot of thick CM inside to the point where she said it looked like thrush but there was no other signs (itching, smell etc)... So the aching and pain I'm having is a mystery, as is the amount of CM. Still on 3 x metronidazole tablets a day, not sure why as there was no infection but been told to complete the course. I would say the pain has lessened by about 10% but not sure it's anything to do with the tablets. At a loss, depressed, totally fed up and have no idea what's going on. Don't even know when I'll be able to ttc again. Just want to hide away and cry.

Chasing!!! Just read further back, big massive huge congrats to you!!! Such amazing news Smile x

chasingtherainbow · 07/03/2015 17:58

Teenie. .. what a bloody nightmare. Sounds like you are in such limbo. I'm so sorry my love. BrewCake

We told my in laws today, who were a rock for us all during the mc and we felt deserved to know and to have our safety net ready. We were taking photos on the beach and dh said "say cheese" ... Then when we had reshuffled for another pic he said "now say... Chasing's Pregnant"! ... my MIL face is hilarious. It was nice to enjoy a moments excitement even though I'm scared and I don't know what the future holds. I seem to have relaxed. I was a bit worried my line wasn't dark enough earlier but dh reminded me I did it at 2 am this morning... so I'm going to pee and aim for a later bedtime like past 9 pm! and hopefully have a super concentrated pee at a more reasonable hour of morning and hope for a nice dark line.

chasingtherainbow · 07/03/2015 18:01

It was such a dark place. I just remember lying on that cold bed with that horrible doctor physically hurting me with the internal and seeing my empty womb on the screen and thinking I'd never feel hope again.

Ladies have faith. I'm still so far from safety, but even just getting pregnant again is such a huge thing for me. I never thought I'd hold a positive pregnancy test again.

We can do this. Soon enough this thread will be empty because we are all going to be happily and blissfully holding our babies. I just know it. X

Lovely words chasing. And what a lovely way to tell your family that is so sweet! totally made me tearful!

mrsdiddlydoo · 07/03/2015 21:09

mrsC Flowers words escape me. I'm heart broken for you. You deserve better. Thinking of you. I'm so cross at the bloody universe. I'm pleased the doc has offered to refer you to rmc clinic. I understand it can be a quicker referral if the hospital does it for you.

I can't believe what I miss in a couple of days.

MrsConfusion · 07/03/2015 21:10

Chasing, you're so eloquent, you say things so clearly and in a really touching way. You're a treasure! Love the picture story Smile. Fx for staying relaxed and darker line soon!

Teenie, so sorry things aren't clearer, so frustrating for you. It's really horrid when there aren't answers. One doctor yesterday said modern medicine still hadn't understood women's bodies, feels pretty good assessment!

Hope you've all had sunshine today and been able to feel spring coming. Flowers

Can anyone help with hcg levels? Doc said I had 500 but with low progesterone. That's clearly too low for the 6- week ectopic they feared, but also seems to me too high for this month? I'm on cd24, DTD on 11, 13 & 15. Sac they saw in uterus was 3mm (I'm sure it's gone by now given all the clots Sad). I'm just really confused by the numbers. Help!

mrsdiddlydoo · 07/03/2015 21:13

Whispers congratulations to chasing sorry about the upset stomach.

My month off TTC is going better than expected in some ways. Feeling more positive and like me than I have in a long time. Went to Coventry yesterday and have come away with the start of a treatment plan which hopefully will help increase my chances of holding onto the next bfp.

chasingtherainbow · 07/03/2015 21:25

MrsC, 500 is the top end hcg for about 28 days from lmp so I don't think it's totally improbable that it could correlate with the in utero sac you saw, but I think the eptopic will be contributing to that hcg level so it's not very clear .. obviously I'm no doctor so only thinking aloud here. I'm sorry things are still so up in the air. However, I understood that hcg had to be 1000-2000 to be visible on a scan so that's confusing too.

Gah .. have they made a plan of action?

MrsConfusion · 08/03/2015 07:53

TMI alert

Oh god the indignity of it all Blush just had to get husband to help me as I stood in bath pouring blood. This is horrid. Sad How can I be bleeding more with this than with loss at 7 weeks??

Romeolovesjuliet · 08/03/2015 08:18

Mrs C, you are right there is no dignity to any of it - I'm so sorry you have having such a terrible, terrible time. If you are bleeding very heavily and it continues and doesn't lessen or you start feeling unwell please please go and get seen. They told me in hospital that sometimes all the clots and 'product' (hate that term) can get stuck in the cervix as it is coming away. It won't feel like it at the moment but this will pass and you will feel better - we are all here for you Flowers

Amyyy27 · 08/03/2015 08:53

Oh MrsC i am so sorry you are having to go through this Flowers if you are in any way concerned or feeling unwell i agree with romeo to go back in or phone them for advice xx

MrsConfusion · 08/03/2015 09:20

Thanks ladies, don't know what I'd do without you. You stop me feeling alone. I'm due back at hospital for more blood tests later on today, so I'll tell them about it then. Feeling pretty bleurgh but still not too much pain - some cramping but paracetamol mostly covers it. I just want to avoid standing up as much as possible as that's when it gets dramatic - gravity I guess!!

chasingtherainbow · 08/03/2015 10:07

Keep an eye on that bleeding. I soaked through two sets of pj's and bedding and it seemed like so much.. but it's hard to know what's too much so please keep someone with you xxxxxx

Romeolovesjuliet · 08/03/2015 11:42

Agree with chasing, please do keep an eye on the bleeding. I was soaking through trousers - pads didn't have a chance - but I just assumed it was normal. It wasn't until this had been going on for 3 hrs with no sign of stopping that I thought something was up - it's so hard to know.

mrsdiddlydoo · 08/03/2015 14:33

Hope the bleeding has settled a bit mrsC and hospital are helpful. It can be really hard to know what's normal or not in these situations. Any doubt, seek help. Flowers I'm so sorry you are going through this x

MrsConfusion · 08/03/2015 16:53

Waiting for bloods results, doc will call either tonight or in morning. They're treating this as 'just' miscarriage now, to the point that I had to remind doctor about sac by ovary! Next steps all depends on whether hcg falling.

Meanwhile - how are your weekends? Anyone due to test? Anyone busy with DTD-a-thon? Wink Anyone had nice plans?

MrsConfusion · 08/03/2015 16:55

Bleeding a bit less dramatic now, thank you ladies, haven't needed to stand in bath again to save carpet...

Just realised it's Monday tomorrow - work - maybe I'll work from home and see how it goes.

chasingtherainbow · 08/03/2015 17:02

Don't even contemplate going in to work my love! Be kind to yourself x

epskie · 08/03/2015 18:06

MrsC sounds like you're going right through the wringer! So sorry you're having all that to deal with Flowers
Congrats to the BFP's!

mrsdiddlydoo · 08/03/2015 18:14

Please don't put yourself through work tomorrow mrsC unless it helps you feel better in someway. I know some people prefer to keep going but your health and wellbeing is much more important

HariboBrenshnio · 08/03/2015 19:55

Oh Mrs C, I just want to give you a massive cuddle. This is horrible. So glad you've got DH there for some TLC, really hope the test results come back asap.

BFN on an Internet cheapy this morning at 10dpo. I know it's early but I'm really disheartened. I'd have loved to see a line.

chasingtherainbow · 08/03/2015 20:02

Haribo don't lose hope. I had feck all at 10dpo too. X

HariboBrenshnio · 08/03/2015 20:05

Iv got my hopes on this cycle more than most which doesn't help. I'm out on Mother's Day with my parents and sisters and I'd love to be able to tell them we are pregnant again. They were such a great supporting during the MMC. Only time will tell I suppose.
