af isnt due til next sat/mon depending on whether cd1 is from spotting or bleeding. got a BFP yesterday after 3mcs and 1 ep in the last 18m, (you know the story) got my day 21 blood test on monday with the specialist should i go and ask for a pg blood test at the same time, just go and pretend i didnt see the line or cancel the appt?

Congratulations!!

It might be worth going along anyway as you've suffered miscarriages in the past - I have no idea but your fab fertility nurse might have some other tests she thinks it worth doing??

It's amazing you have got a BFP so early!

You must have had some other signs to convince you it was worth a test? Was it with an early test stick or just a standard one?
(This news could send me into a spin of frantic early testing (sounds expensive!))

twas a cheap test, not a really early one and only faint (but there) bfp iykwim. boobs are huge and hurt like buggery. feel v sick, got headache am starving (have eaten 10 doughnuts in 36hrs) and exhausted!

OP posts:
Chocolatedays · 31/03/2007 17:32

I don't think I've eaten a doughnut for the last 10yrs... so maybe I'll see a craving for a doughnut (or 10) as a sign ... and save myself the money on tests!

Hope to one day join you on the ante natal threads!

Oh Lissie so pleased and also so jealous LOL!

Go along, have a chat. They're going to want to do blood tests and early scans and the earlier you are on their radar the better.

MrsMcEasterBunny · 31/03/2007 21:25

Lissielou - really hon!? how wonderful! wishing you all the luck in the world this time round. I'd go for the appointment and see what they tell you when the tests come back Fingers crossed, you so deserve this

Glimmer · 04/04/2007 13:50

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, dancing around in mad fertility dance. This is such great news little one hang on -- you are loved and wanted!!! Lissie, so happy for you!

Glimmer · 04/04/2007 13:51

I'd go and tell them, so that you can get early scan and all the support you need!

right, started spotting this morning (seems to have stopped now) along with back ache (also gone) af isnt due til mon, tested clear bfp thurs night, could this be implantation or a chemical pregnancy that proves that no good comes of early testing.

still feel sick and v emotional, still feel pg but am scared that its just wishful thinking on my part

ovenREADYhotcrossbuns · 07/04/2007 13:55

Lissie I really hope that it is implantation!! Fingers crossed

Chocolatedays · 07/04/2007 13:55

Hi Lissie - how worrying. Was it red or dark blood spotting?
Thinking of you.

lissielouwithbunnyears · 07/04/2007 14:00

brown spotting. the prob is ive had so many bleeds with all my pgs that its hard to remember what they were all like iykwim. with ds i bled quite heavily and with the mcs i think the bleeding was red and heavy straight off the bat. with the ep it was spotting dark tar-like blood on and off for about 2w

OP posts:
Chocolatedays · 07/04/2007 14:09

I have read dark spotting is 'better' than red spotting (though no spotting would be better ).

Do you do temperature monitoring? If so - this might shed some light.

Have you tried calling the number the fertility nurse gave you - might be worth trying today as tomorrow and easter monday may be harder to get through.

Lissie, I don't really know what a chemical pregnancy is, but still, you have been through more than anyone should ever have to go through, so I am really sorry.

lissielouwithbunnyears · 07/04/2007 16:43

thank you, a chemical pg is where the egg is fertilised and multiplies as normal but fails to implant properly. its basically a v v early miscarriage.

a lesson to all that early testing is evil. sorry am prob being flippant but dont know how to deal with this
