@cakelaur sending hugs to you. xx I know how scary that feels - though it might just be normal pregnancy spotting, of course.

Cakelaur · 22/04/2018 11:54

Thanks ladies. I'll keep you all posted!

YellowDaffodils86 · 22/04/2018 12:06

@Cakelaur hugs to you, hate that you have this worry after all you have had to got through already. Hoping it all turns out positively for you.

hayleyfx · 22/04/2018 12:20

@Cakelaur oh I’m keeping everything crossed for you. I understand how worried you must be but it could just as easily be normal pregnancy spotting! However I know that won’t ease your worries right now. Hugs to you and fingers crossed everything is okay 🤞

@BabynameEdie @YellowDaffodils86 sorry af arrived! Fingers crossed for lots of May bfp’s!

@Primrose @Boboelephant thank you both. I only have one test left so will probably test tomorrow. I don’t usually get indents either but then there doesn’t seem to be much colour to it 🤔 so confusing!! I guess it’s a waiting game now! @Bobo my cycles are usually between 28-30 days long, I have no idea when af is even due this month though 🤦‍♀️😂
@dulwichdays I’m on CD29 but that’s about all I know tbh, this month has confused me way too much 😂

Primrose16 · 22/04/2018 12:59

@Cakelaur oh I’m sorry about your spotting, try not to worry. I completely get where your coming from to me any blood scary. I bled (spotted) with my daughter twice. Try to put your feet up and rest. Ring the EPU in morning to get a earlier scan xxx

strawberrye · 22/04/2018 14:08

So this just happened.

On the Clearblue trial and as AF hadn't started on the day I had to test I had to repeat today. On nights and this is my FMU. Really confused as I've been bleeding like AF over the past few days including bright red blood. Really scared now as well as last night at work (thinking I want pregnant) I was exposed to radiation holding a drunk persons arm in X ray and i was in contact with a person with serious infectious disease. Ahhhh panicking!! I don't think I'll be getting any more sleep pre night shift Confused

Oh I'm so sorry @cakelaur I didn't see your post about spotting as I just posted in such a rush. Try not to panic (easier said than done I know), as others have said spotting is really common in pregnancy x

strawberrye · 22/04/2018 14:11

*Thinking I wasn't pregnant my message should read

HidCat · 22/04/2018 14:12

@Cakelaur keeping everything crossed for you. My cousin spotted around this time, thought it was a miscarriage and was actually twins (very healthy twins at that!).

@strawberrye congratulations!

Blondcat · 22/04/2018 14:31

Hi ladies I would like to join you. Was super excited to get my bfp in March for much wanted first baby then at 6 weeks lost symptoms and started bleeding. Two weeks on bleeding has stopped and pg test is getting much fainter so just waiting impatiently for a negative to start again.

Blondcat · 22/04/2018 14:33

@cakelaur fx for some good news and a sticky bean

@strawberrye congratulations

Cakelaur · 22/04/2018 15:01

Omg!! @strawberrye massive congrats babe!! What a great day! Xx

Daffodil77 · 22/04/2018 15:13

@cakelaur I hope it's nothing! Sending you hugs and keeping everything crossed for you.

@Strawberrye congratulations! Hope everything progresses well. Xx

hayleyfx · 22/04/2018 15:16

@strawberrye congrats!! Fingers and everything else crossed for a very sticky bean 🤞
@Blondcat welcome, so sorry for your loss. I hope you’re doing okay Flowers

Flatwhite32 · 22/04/2018 15:59

@Cakelaur bless you. I know how you feel as I had this! How far along are you? I spotted (and then bled enough for a pad) at 6 weeks and thought it was game over. They never found out exactly what it was, but the consultant says you can get implantation bleeding later on than the TWW, and that it's quite common. Ring EPU tomorrow. X

Cakelaur · 22/04/2018 16:05

Thanks ladies. Xx

YellowDaffodils86 · 22/04/2018 16:19

@strawberrye ohh congratulations, i wonder why you have had af like bleeding? Anyhow fingers crossed this is the start of a little sticky bean! I know how you feel with the dodging of work hazards etc.

BabynameEdie · 22/04/2018 18:18

Welcome @Blondcat so sorry you're here but it's a wonderful lifeboat to be on 🐧💕

@Cakelaur how you doing? Am thinking of you.

@strawberrye that's amazing! Have missed a few posts but have you been bleeding as well? If so could that not have been implantation bleeding? 🤞🤞 for you

Primrose16 · 22/04/2018 18:19

Congrats @strawberrye

Primrose16 · 22/04/2018 18:20

How’s it been today @cakelaur

Boboelephant · 22/04/2018 18:22

@BabynameEdie sorry af came!
Hopefully next month isn't so confusing and we all get our Jan babies! @BabynameEdie, @YellowDaffodils86, @PassTheAfterEights and anyone else joining in.
@Cakelaur how are you feeling? Hope you're having a relaxing day and all is well.
@hayleyfx fingers crossed for tomorrow.
@strawberrye oh wow how exciting!! Have you been bleeding the whole time since last week when you thought af started? I hope all is ok, and you have a sticky bean. Will you go to gp or call epu tomorrow? Fingers crossed!!
@Blondcat welcome and so sorry for your loss.

@Boboelephant yeah it sucks but I'm glad we're still in it together (obviously not actually glad! Just grateful for the support!) and I'm sure this month will be less confusing for all of us. At least I really hope so!! @YellowDaffodils86 @PassTheAfterEights @Boboelephant this is going to be our month!!

strawberrye · 22/04/2018 18:33

Thanks all, I'm really confused but hopeful. I got BFNs on CD25, 27 and 28 which were 9, 11 and 12 DPO. Then started spotting on day 28 which was Tuesday and bleeding Wednesday-Saturday. Most of the bleeding was brownish but on Wednesday there was definitely bright red blood - in hindsight perhaps a bit shorter and lighter than a normal period but not that dissimilar? Only tested today as I needed to for Clearblue trial and I'm gobsmacked. I think I might try ringing GP first to see if they could do some serial blood hCG as I think it's still too early to see anything on scan. Really confused!

Cakelaur · 22/04/2018 18:39

Well the pink tinge has disappeared and all is back to normal. But I'm totally convinced it's the end for me. I just can't see myself being lucky enough to hold my baby.

BabynameEdie · 22/04/2018 18:50

@Cakelaur I can't imagine how hard it would be to do this..but do try to imagine holding on to this one, I'm so sure that positive thinking can help. It's great that the pink has gone, all you can do is take it one day or even one hour at a time xx
