Si1ver I’m so so sorry x

PumpkinPatch000 · 04/10/2017 20:00

So so sorry to hear that @si1ver Sad

peachesarenom · 04/10/2017 23:01

OMG Si1ver mate! I hope you're ok!

BriechonCheese · 05/10/2017 00:28

Can I join in?
Testing Thursday morning.
Usually have cramps for the 3-4 days before my period but nothing yet. Had terrible cramps across my back and thighs (that's where my pre-menstural cramps usually manifest) about 3dpo though.
Have been very nauseous and thought perhaps DD had brought home a virus from nursery but not sure.

Sorry to hear your news @Si1ver Flowers

BriechonCheese · 05/10/2017 01:18

My mistake, meant to say Friday morning.

VJONES1985 · 05/10/2017 06:12

Huge dip in my BBT this morning. Guess that means I'm out?

Si1ver · 05/10/2017 10:34

Thanks for all the kind thoughts. The bleeding stopped last night, today there's some ongoing spotting (dark brown, sorry if that's tmi) and a positive test again this morning.

So I have no idea. I'm waiting for my doctor to call me back and I'm going to ask for some HCG blood tests on two separate days to see what's happening. This waiting is really fucking hard.

Si1ver · 05/10/2017 12:29

And my request for HCG tests has been refused because apparently the PCT only uses them to diagnose etopic pregnancies sigh

Doctor's advice is to wait and see and if I'm still producing positive tests at six weeks she'll refer me to EPU for an early scan. Oh and by the way, stop testing it won't help. FFS.

Still, it'll be four weeks tomorrow. So only two weeks to wait to see what happens, not panic, not test while still producing a positive test.

Wants · 05/10/2017 12:34

I've caved and bought a test. Don't know whether to test now or wait until morning😐

DaenerysismyQueen · 05/10/2017 14:07

Si1ver brown is a sign of old blood I think.

EverythingNow · 05/10/2017 20:01

Keeping everything crossed for you Si1ver

I’m out, spotting when I wiped today, 12dpo, which seems to be my usual pattern. A few drops for a few days then wake up to AF.

Good luck to everyone else xx

shortcake76 · 05/10/2017 20:30

I'm on CD40 today. Going to hold off testing until Sunday morning, though, as my cycle can be anywhere between 37 and 43 days :-( This is ttc month 15.

Wants · 05/10/2017 21:01

14dpo and tested this afternoon. BFNSadNo sign of af arriving( normally cramps and spotting a day or so beforehand and due yesterday) I have one more test. Is it worth testing again with FMU? I hadn't drunk much by the time I tested today so don't know if that affected the test. It was a Tesco one.

Upsydasiy · 06/10/2017 06:24

So I’m due on today, usually come on overnight but nothing. Taken a test this morning and bfn 😔

Still no AF, was due Monday/tue and 4 BFN tests since then! Dh telling me it's a reaction to coming off pill and jut to accept I'm late but not pregnant. Starting to think he is right Sad

Si1ver how frustrating. A little blood when your period would've come isn't unusual I don't think and it's a good sign it has stopped.

Sorry your doctor won't help. It seems so insensitive but there's nothing they can do either way, and unless there's risk of ectopic there's no danger. It's cruel but not uncommon. This bit is so tough.

I was due to ovulate yesterday but there's been little sign. Normally have EWCM but not so much. My mood has definitely moved over into pmt from superwoman though so assume we've done our bit this month. AF due on the 20th. 2ww here I come ...

Si1ver · 06/10/2017 09:17

FC for the 20th AnythingNotEverything. It's so frustrating when you're having to assume that you're ovulated but not being 100% sure.

I've paid for the HCG tests privately. I had the first this morning and the next is booked for Monday. Hopefully this should give me some peace of mind either way.

CherryVicky29 · 06/10/2017 10:13

Really shouldn’t have tested this morning but BFN and got me down only 9dpo so know that still early 😔

BriechonCheese · 06/10/2017 11:45

BFN this morning.
Something is telling me to save the spare in the packet for next week.

Mammabear31 · 06/10/2017 12:38

Strong BFN at 13dpo. AF due tomorrow so it looks like I'm out.

AnythingNotEverything · 06/10/2017 15:58

I was 2 days late with DD1 before I got a BFP so do not despair. It is not over until AF. Keep the faith.

Wants · 06/10/2017 20:05

Af still not here, I was due weds. Bfn yesterday afternoon 😟I don't know if I want to test again. My head and heart are all over the place.

Taking it that I'm out this month, still no AF but another BFN and that's me a week 'late' think it's my body adjusting to being pill free.

Good luck all still in and yet to test xx
