@Cakelaur I can totally understand why you are feeling despair. I am keeping everything crossed for you x

Primrose16 · 22/04/2018 19:11

@cakelaur that’s really positive that it has stopped. Are you going to ring the EPU tomorrow

Claire138 · 22/04/2018 19:11

Just trying to catch up on the latest. Have thankfully had a busy weekend...at least that’s helped pass 2 days of the TWW!
@hayleyfx it looks like a line to me! You tested a few days ago and it was negative on FRER? But your opk were really strong? I say get your next batch of FRER ordered and get POAS lol 🤞🤞🤞
@strawberrye another confusing one, but there is no mistaking that test. Congrats and I hope it’s a nice sticky one for you!
@babynameedie and @yellowdaffodils86 sorry AF arrived! 🤞🤞 for 2019 babies!!
@cakelaur I am so sorry you are having to have this added stress! If it’s only spotting try not to worry too much (of course much easier said than done)! I really hope your little bean is just trying to get nice and snug. Sending big hugs 🤗
@blondcat sorry you are joining us but welcome. Hope we can help!

Sloeberrygin · 22/04/2018 19:36

Oh @Cakelaur I'm so sorry you're having a stressful time. I know it's basically impossible not to worry but try and stay positive x
@strawberrye Congratulations, it does seem a bit confusing but a positive is a positive. Stay optimistic!
@Blondcat welcome though sorry you've found yourself here

I'm on CD18 and usually have a 25 day cycle. Though now after the mc who knows how long it'll be! So AF is potentially due a week today. I'll almost certainly be too impatient to wait that long so I'll maybe start testing on Thursday Grin Though there's almost no chance I'm pregnant as thrush scuppered DTD plans a bit. Plus I don't think I'd be lucky enough to get pregnant in my first cycle. But you never know!

hayleyfx · 22/04/2018 19:38

@Boboelephant thank you! Fingers crossed 🤞
@Claire138 yeah I had a faint line on a cheapie earlier this week then a bfn on a frer and now this, also constant positive OPK’s 🤦‍♀️ I’m so confused haha! I’m definitely going to be POAS though! 😂
@Cakelaur that’s a positive sign that it has stopped! I’m keeping everything crossed for you and sending you more hugs Flowers

Muffin7 · 22/04/2018 20:10

Just had my first negative since my miscarriage, I feel strangely relieved. Does this mean we can start trying again? How would they date us if we were to be blessed with a miracle?

ek78 · 22/04/2018 20:40

@muffin7 You are fine to crack on. Im
In the same situation (and similarly relieved). It just means they would date your pregnancy from mc date.

Primrose16 · 22/04/2018 20:40

@Muffin7 I suppose they could only date from dating scan. Maybe use the first day of your mc as a starting point. But I honestly don’t know.

Lovewinemorethanhusband · 22/04/2018 20:49

@cakelaur glad it's stopped now get into the GP or try and get your scan earlier xx
Trying.to catch up with the rest I'm rubbish at rememberimg who posted but congratulations that's defo a line it's confusing when it seemed you had a period but fingers crossed it works out x

Cakelaur · 22/04/2018 21:10

Yup think I'm gonna bite the Bullet and call Epu in the morning!! Still nothing since but I'm making myself nauseous with worry!!

Muffin7 · 22/04/2018 21:20

Thank you both @Primrose16 and @ek78

DaisyMay25 · 22/04/2018 21:22

Oh @Cakelaur sorry about the spotting! Fx it's just some breakthrough bleeding or something else minor though.

Boboelephant · 22/04/2018 21:58

@BabynameEdie I totally know what you mean! I am glad for the support too!
@strawberrye it is really odd. But a good sign that the tests are coming up positive. Good luck with doc, hope they do the blood tests and you get good news!
@Cakelaur glad the spotting has stopped. Good luck with EPU call tomorrow.
@Muffin7 glad you can start moving forward now. They should use your mc date until you have a scan and then tweak it then.

FireworksBaby · 22/04/2018 23:13

@cakelaur so sorry you're going through such a stressful time, it's sad that after MC it's going to be much harder to relax and enjoy pregnancy, but lots of successful pregnancies still have spotting. Keeping everything crossed that your little bean is hanging on in there.

@strawberrye congratulations!

toasterstrudle · 23/04/2018 06:36

Hi, is it alright if I join? We're not TTC yet but will be in a month or so. I had a 12 week scan last week and unfortunately it was a mmc. I'd had sickness and nausea throughout so it was a horrible shock. I've got surgical management on Weds then can start to move forward.

toasterstrudle · 23/04/2018 06:37

Oh, I forgot to add, I'm very lucky and have a DS who is nearly 10 months. We had an early loss before him and it took a while to conceive so we were surprised but delighted to fall straight away with this baby, but unfortunately it wasn't to be.

dulwichdays · 23/04/2018 07:02

@toasterstrudle - welcome and I’m so sorry you find yourself here. Hopefully you’ll find this thread as much benefit as I have over the last few months.

@hayleyfx - good luck for today’s test. Got my fingers crossed for a BFP for you!
@cakelaur hopefully it’s just normal spotting. Definitely give EPU a call and see what they say. I know it’s incredible difficult to stay positive, but I really do hope this bean sticks!

I woke this morning to a notification from my clue app telling me my next cycle is about to begin....TBH it’s not like I would have forgotten! Expecting AF Tuesday or Wednesday and resisting the urge to test until after then. Can’t really face the disappointment of a stark white BFN - so much so that I’ve only got a home bargains cheap test in the house! Today’s aim is not to symptom spot, or let me mind wander when I do get a “symptom”....wish me luck!!

Flatwhite32 · 23/04/2018 07:10

@Cakelaur if the EPU fob you off, ring your GP. Because I was 'only' spotting, the EPU initially wouldn't see me, despite MMC history! I rang my GP and she was brilliant. Lo and behold, I got an EPU appointment once she rang them! Good luck. Xx

Cakelaur · 23/04/2018 07:32

Thanks ladies started spotting again. Defo pink not brown now. 😭 trying to get through to Epu but I think they don't open until 9

@dulwichdays such will power. Have everything crossed for you.

@hayleyfx how you getting on?

@strawberrye How you feeling babe? Have you found our Christmas cake bfp thread?

Lovewinemorethanhusband · 23/04/2018 08:00

@cakelaur my epu opens at 8am so keep trying fingers crossed it's nothing try not to worry but easier said then done I know XXX

Cakelaur · 23/04/2018 08:11

Thanks @Lovewinemorethanhusband just tried again now but no luck.

SerenaOverjoyed · 23/04/2018 08:29

Sorry for the stress Cakelaur, do remember as scary as spotting is that it is likely to be nothing to be alarmed about. Fx for you xx

Primrose16 · 23/04/2018 08:29

@cakelaur it’s so hard to get through- my local EPU never answer the phone so I ring the one in the next town and just get them to transfer me or book me in at my local. I hope you get through. Look after yourself today

sweetpea0318 · 23/04/2018 08:32

Morning, would it be ok to join you? I unfortunately had a mc over Easter - I was 6 weeks along. Been struggling a bit over the past few weeks especially as have had a barrage of pregnancy announcements recently. However I am feeling a bit more positive and feel ready to start trying again as soon as my cycle sorts itself out.

Primrose16 · 23/04/2018 08:44

@sweetpea0318 welcome and sorry you find yourself here. I know exactly what you mean- I had pregnancy announcements everywhere after my mcs. Either that or seeing baby bumps everywhere you go. Be kind to yourself it’s okay to be sad
