reverse that is definitely a line. I reckon you'll get a pos on a digi in a few days.. try a first response?

Oh north. Me too. I'm always thinking/saying "when I'm pregnant" and I just seem to be living in limbo. Waiting for a bfp and a take home baby. I'm sorry you are so sad. I hope this month if your month. Xx

ReverseTheTrend · 16/02/2015 13:05

is first response a brand?

I think I need to go shopping, but terrified to test again in case (not sure how to finsih that, a neg and a pos are are both scary ideas right now!)

chasingtherainbow · 16/02/2015 13:10

Fwiw I think v unlikely to have two duff strips and I think it was just too early for your digi. X

ReverseTheTrend · 16/02/2015 13:17

thanks chasing, will wander off to Tesco after work see what I can get

if it is a positive, dating will be a nightmare as I haven't had AF since MC, so the technical answer to when when my last period was is October :S

Gr33dyeggs · 16/02/2015 13:33

Hi all.

reverse when do you have to wait until b4 testing? Ive always waited until period is late rather then gone off dpo. Its sounding positive from what others have said.

Thanks for your replies regarding hols. Its all too tricky! Menorca and crete were coming up in our price range. I would probably err towards menorca thinking slightly better health care? But I'm wondering if I'd enjoy it now - no drinking, no waterpark, worrying over buffet food hygiene. ... the flight is the least of my worries! But then its cheaper to go abroad than stay here plus you get sun over there!

I think I'll book the time off work anyway and keep an eye on prices. And see if a BFP arrives. If not and I don't go away I will kick myself I know.

Woke up this morning with 'the rage' even OH asked if I'm on now. Cant imagine its far away and only day 19. Looking like last month. I won't even get a chance of day 21 bloods! So the bloating, sore boobs and indegestion are pre AF symptoms and not pregnancy. Gah.

brickiemum2 · 16/02/2015 13:44

Congrats reverse Grin

MsJupiter · 16/02/2015 14:08

That's definitely a line Reverse, and much darker than my very early lines on the same type of test which were almost like evap lines. Congratulations are in order! But I do understand how scary it is too.

North that is such a beautiful thing to do and I'm so sorry it's causing you heartache. I am dreading getting to June if I am not pregnant again by then. I hope you get a result this month.

ReverseTheTrend · 16/02/2015 14:20

Gr33dy, I have no idea, I am still in the WTF cycle, so last AF was Oct, was then preg, MC 19th Dec, lots of BFNs, then BFP Fridad on a IC, BFN Sat on a Clearblue Digi, and BFP today on IC

Amyyy27 · 16/02/2015 15:18

Hi ladies,

Haven't called in here since before Christmas I think!! So hope you are all well, hopefully I have missed a few BFPS!? And thinking of any newbies who have unfortunately found themselves here :(

I was starting to become obsessed with this site and after 2 unsuccessful months of ttc I felt like it was the end of the world and I knew others had been trying for so much longer so thought it best to give myself a break and get into the right frame of mind. . . so here I am back!! We are still very much ttc. This month we decided we would 'properly try' as I like to say. I am using opks, fertility friend, and I bought the Toni Weschler 'Taking Charge Of Your Fertility' book which is helping me along. We are dtd more than ever so no complaining there ha. Just waiting for O to happen now!

Anyway, what have I missed? How are you all?? any BFPs? xxx

chasingtherainbow · 16/02/2015 15:25

Reverse I was going to say I'd guess ovulation around 14-20 days after your first BFN. But that would make you 6 odd weeks and the clear blue will have picked it up so I reckon you ov'd very recently and will be about 4. Obviously it's all guess work. When you get that digi/frer result hotfoot it to the mw and get a scan booked for 2 weeks time (to get your hcg up enough for something to be visible) .. they'll date you then xxxxx I reckon you'll be due around mid to late Oct. X

ReverseTheTrend · 16/02/2015 15:53

I had lots of ewcm about 16 days ago, so I guess I Ov then

epskie · 16/02/2015 16:05

Ladies can you help me please? I've been having weekly blood tests to monitor my hcg since my mc in december. My levels have halved every week and were 26 Friday before last. Just had results of last Friday's and they've doubled :-( I am so upset.
I have to go in and see them tomorrow, can anybody offer any advice or experience please? I'm scared x

ladydoc · 16/02/2015 16:17

Epskie I'm afraid I don't really know what your results mean. Have they given you any other info, or advice on what it could mean? Perhaps it's just a freak one-off strange level - it sounds reassuring that the levels were steadily dropping before. I would call the Dr and ask what they think.

Reverse - Congrats!! Grin

Snoopy - How are you getting on today. Thinking of you Flowers

While I'm here, can I ask you all a silly question? What does "WTF cycle" stand for? It sounds appropriate though, as I feel like WTF is my body doing at the moment!

Amyyy27 · 16/02/2015 16:33

epskie Sorry I'm unsure too, I was never given blood tests. I agree with ladydoc if they were previously dropping steadily I wouldn't worry... but definitely ask to speak to your doctor about what it could mean.

ladydoc You're right it means what the f**k! Basically after mc there are just no rules in your first cycle as to what could happen, and you pretty much do get the WTF is going on with my body!? feelings. But after your wtf cycle your body will settle down. So your af could turn up at the usual time, or sometimes extremely late! I think mine arrived after 33 days (I was previously a 28 day-er) and since then I've had another 33 day cycle then a 31 day cycle and we shall see this month! Hopefully dropping back down to normal. My hormones also felt all over the place in my wtf cycle, but unsure whether or not that was because of the mc or what.

northdownmummy · 16/02/2015 16:33

ladydoc you've got it, we all spend that first cycly wondering WTF is going on with our body.

chasingtherainbow · 16/02/2015 16:37

The WTF cycle I'd exactly that! The crazy .. unknown and unpredictable cycle immediately after mc xx

Epskie that's really odd. Don't be scared, that hcg reading is still vvvv low, only just enough to stop ovulation occurring now. As long as they don't go up again I don't think drs will be worried yet. I know it's soooo frustrating and confusing and upsetting. It was the longest 7 weeks of my life waiting for that 0. Flowers you will get through this. The end is near. I promise. Did you have any medical treatment? I can't remember sorry. If they start going up again then they may scan you again but I can't see why the would at this stage at so low. (Mine also dipped and dipped then shot back up. But it was in the hundreds at this point so began to indicate something else entirely)

chasingtherainbow · 16/02/2015 16:38

Massive x post lol!

Amy hello love xxx I also have that book. My head goes to jelly when I try to read it though. Think it's the sheer size.

Snoopy how are you feeling. X

ReverseTheTrend · 16/02/2015 16:47

I should probably tell DH, shouldn't I?

Weird, last time I was so excited, now I just feel kind of numb

epskie · 16/02/2015 16:55

Thanks everybody. I'm so desperate to see the end now. chasing they're talking about giving me some drugs - do you think it would me that methotrexate that you were given? (I'm sure it was you)

chasingtherainbow · 16/02/2015 16:57

Big hugs Reverse. . I hope your dh can give you the rl support you probably need right now. Xx

CirrusClouds · 16/02/2015 17:10

Congratulations reverse!!

epskie, poor you. Hopefully they will be able to give you some helpful information. I wonder if the tests they do just aren't that sensitive at such low levels and maybe this was an error- but really hoping they are able to fill you in tomorrow.

ladydoc · 16/02/2015 17:15

So, now I know what a WTF cycle is - I wonder if my first AF is starting. I am 25 days post-ERPC, and had my BFN almost immediately after the procedure. Last night and today have been spotting very lightly, and feeling really crampy period pains. Really hope that this is AF starting, so we can get back to TTC. Fingers crossed!

brickiemum2 · 16/02/2015 17:22

Lady how quickly did you get bfn and were you still bleeding? I had erpc/mva on Friday and I'm still bleeding. No one told me to do any tests or suggested blood tests or anything. How would I know when it's all over? Should I poas now or leave it a few weeks?
