Positive opk after miscarriage- 2

[jinglebellmel]

Can't believe we've filled that thread, hope you all find this one!

Ali - so uncomfortable isn't it?! But I like that I can feel it happening, gives me a bit of warning at least. Yeah, I'm expecting I'll ov Thursday/Friday now which would work out much better than Saturday so fingers crossed.

Sounds like it could have been then Ali, maybe your levels just never got high enough to give a positive hpt. Sorry you're not feeling good. Can totally relate to the feeling that this is never going to happen, I've lost all faith now.

Just want Af to come, I presume that's how it works with a cp, I'll just get Af at some point and not need any medical intervention?

And I only tested with ICs on the Monday and Tuesday.

Mel, I guess it would happen naturally but I'm not 100%.

Bear, has AF kicked in now?

Hope you're treating yourselves this weekend to chocolate and telly.

Yes AF definitely here, no heavier than normal at the moment though.

Mel I would think HPT's need to be negative before AF arrives. Hang on in there if you've had another positive today. My line yesterday afternoon was very, very faint, but there was no line at all by this morning.

Were you using frer bear?

From my experience Mel I was given the heads up by my dr to expect MC....my HCG was 360 so plenty high enough to show on a test on the Monday and I just naturally started to bleed on the Thursday.....felt like forever the wait but wasn't too long really. Hope everyone is ok xxx

Yes I was Mel (but I also used digi's and IC's - an embarrassing amount of POAS to be honest!)

With FRER I got positives at 9dpo and 11dpo, the v v faint positive on 17dpo, then bfn on 18dpo.

How are you doing this morning Mel?

Ali & Bean what CD are you on?

Thanks for your experiences bear and been.

Still no bleeding this morning, temps still up. Just want it done now, I feel like my body is stupid hanging onto failed pregnancies. Laying in bed at the moment, dreading getting up as I just don't want to start another day :(

Mel that sucks being caught in limbo When was AF meant to arrive? I'd try and get into the GP if I were you.. You just never know what might be going on. I find it so strange that clear blue picked up a 1-2 week. Are you absolutely certain it's a CP?

I'm sorry Mel. Have you tested again or do you not want to? I agree with Bee that you should try to get to the GP tomorrow or arrange for a callback. Unlike you I didn't get any positives after a negative, once they turned negative that was it & AF followed swiftly thereafter. I think the fact that you're getting conflicting results warrants a blood test & further investigation. My GP told me to expect to bleed this weekend but still did the blood test, because I was clearly distressed. Make a fuss if you need to.

Thanks both. Not entirely sure on when I ovd but Af should have been due sometime between Thursday and yesterday. The fact that nothing is happening has me worrying about ectopic and other possibilities

. Frer was negative which must mean hcg is very low, I had a strong line on Wednesday so it's definitely going down, I'm not sure why the digital gave me a 1-2 yesterday but I guess it's just more sensetive than advertised and Picking up a lower amount that frer. I'm planning to test again mid day, but it seems a bit pointless as I know in my heart it isn't progressing as it should.

I'm off Wednesday so not sure if I'll wait until then to try and get a dr appointment, it's a phone on the day system which takes an age and can't really do it discreetly in work. I'm not sure I can even tell the dr all this without become a hysterical mess though, I think they'll just refer me to the epu again and I can't face going back there.

Sorry that was such a moany post. Bear how are you feeling?

Mel, could you list all the tests you've done in the last few days and whether pos/neg?

I'm so sorry you're going through this massive stress and possible disappointment. I'm not surprised you're feeling so low.

Ali, okay don't laugh at my crazy amount of tests though!

Oh Mel I know this feeling too well :( I had to go through two weeks of not knowing for sure what was going to happen. You swing from wanting it all to be over and for the bleeding to start to desperately hoping that a miracle will occur and everything will all be ok again. No advice for you honey....I just did what I felt was ok for me. Spent two days in bed eating biscuits and refusing to get up or even shower (I was quite rank!) and then all of a sudden snapping out of my mood and insisting DP take me out antique shopping. Why I have no idea, as I have zero interest in antiques!! Once we had got there I changed my mind said I didn't want to go in and wanted a bag of chips instead.....(I was a tiny bit mental!) my point being just do what you feel like doing the next few days....be kind to yourself and try not to slip into too much of a dark place. Same advice to you too bear.....it's such a horrible time and place.

I'm due AF in 4 days according to ovia. Zero symptoms this month which I'm fine with and was fully expecting. Knew my and DP would be out this month just had too much going on to concentrate on ttc properly x

You never know Bean, it's too early for symptoms. You might get a nice surprise.

I'm cd5, it's really dragging!

Monday - first response - very faint barely visible

Tuesday- first response - light but clear, clear blue digital 1-2 weeks

Wednesday - first response slightly darker again

Friday- internet cheapie - negative, some random cheapie from chemist - negative, first response (accidently got one step not frer) v faint barely there positive, clear blue digital - not pregnant

Saturday- frer negative, first response one step - v faint same as Friday's, clear blue digital 1-2, Asda 15miu - barely there v faint line

So now you can see the absolutely ridiculous amount I've wasted on tests over the last few days, but I guess if anyone understands it's you ladies. I know there are some positives in there but I'm using the frer as a control/comparison as that's the only one I used in the first few days, and that has gone from a light but obvious positive to total negative

Thanks bean. Not that mine is exactly a success story but I had zero symptoms before getting the positive test, so don't count yourself out yet :)

Ali, it'll be fertile week for you soon and hopefully things will seem a bit more positive then.

That is weird that the CB digital went from positive to negative back to positive.

Well Ali if af doesn't pop along for a visit I will be delighted but very surprised!

Mel don't be embarrassed I spent a bloody fortune on tests over a week (didn't tell DP how much and he is oblivious to the cost....assumes everything costs "a couple of quid"!)

What confuses me is the digital clear blue going from 1-2 to negative back to 1-2 again. It's just so weird. I have no idea or theories about what's happening. I really think a blood test at Drs is the only way to go....they will be able to give you an answer depending on the levels of the actual likelihood of early MC. I hated knowing and wanted to punch the dr when she told me I wouldn't carry this baby, but it did actually make it a little easier in the long run knowing what was Likely to happen.

Ps I wouldn't really punch her she's a lovely woman ;)

Cross post with Ali sorry!

Were you using the same urine sample for the tests on Friday?

Mel, moan away, we all know how shit it is! I think you have to let all the negative emotions out before you can begin to start being positive. You're still going through it.

I doubt your GP will send you to the EPU as nothing will be visible on a scan until 5-6 weeks. An early pg which isn't viable is diagnosable by blood tests which your GP can do, or arrange. They will do a Beta hCG blood test & a repeat of the same a few days later. My GP explained that the body works quickly - in a matter of days the numbers will have increased if the pg is viable. Or they may be able to tell from the initial blood test (as I'm sure mine will show tomorrow), a number too low to be viable.

It's totally ok to be a hysterical mess at the GP. I was. I couldn't even start speaking without starting to cry, but the GP had my medical notes on the screen in front of her so she knew the score - I don't think she was expecting stoicism!

And I'm doing alright thank you. Obviously not the outcome I wanted but it's done, so I have to let it go. CD2 and back in the game.

Sorry cross posts there but just to add, total number of sticks peed on in the past week = 11. You're in good company Mel.

Yes it was the same urine for all the tests on Friday.

Did my last digital earlier and it was not pregnant, so at least that removes any doubt I guess. Just want Af to show up now. 2 mc in a row though, I know the dr will just say it's bad luck but I'm really worried it's more than that now.
