@Cakelaur I got a bfn today so I’m going to just wait for af to arrive I think, no more testing! Too confusing. So sorry you have started spotting again but if it’s not bright red then that’s good, that can be totally normal. Hope you get in touch with the EPU soon Flowers
@sweetpea0318 so sorry for your loss. It’s great that you’re feeling more positive, good luck for when you start TTC again, this thread is definitely a great source of support through that!

weasledee · 23/04/2018 10:05

Welcome sweet pea, sorry you find your self here....
When I went back to work after my loss (14 weeks) nobody had pulled me to one side to tell me my colleague was pregnant and I asked innocently in a meeting why everyone kept talking about when "she would be off work" so I was told in front of a lot of people in a that meeting! Awkward!!!
Cake so you're going through additional stress! Hopefully you have got through to the EPU by now, thinking of you x

@toasterstrudle I'm so sorry. Welcome to the group. I hope your surgical management goes well and you can start to recover physically as well as emotionally.

@sweetpea0318 welcome and sorry that you find yourself in this situation too.

@Cakelaur I hope you're ok and have managed to speak to / get an appointment with epu. Praying that it's good news.

Boboelephant · 23/04/2018 10:29

Welcome @toasterstrudle and @sweetpea0318. So sorry for your losses.
@dulwichdays good luck! You do have wonderful willpower!
@Cakelaur any luck with EPU??
@hayleyfx so sorry for the bfn.
@weasledee that's awful! How are you feeling at the moment hun?

@boboelephant I guess I’m not feeling that hopeful and expecting the worst. So I figure waiting a few extra days won’t hurt in the long run. If I’m that lucky this month I’d rather a clear answer than a squinter!

Claire138 · 23/04/2018 10:43

@cakelaur I hope you have got through to your EPU. Pink spotting is still normal so I am sending big positive vibes your way ❤️
@toasterstrudle and @sweetpea0318 sorry for your losses and that you find yourselves here but there is great support here!
@dulwichdays when are you testing? I’m testing Friday/Saturday which will be 11/12dpo. 🤞🤞

weasledee · 23/04/2018 11:46

I'm ok bobo just starting peeing on the OPK's again... fertile week should start about Saturday.....

Yeah that was awkward at work, think they didn't want to upset me so everyone avoided telling me but it ended up worse! I was fine with pregnant ladies as I'm lucky to have DC already.... I felt more sorry for them as they all didn't know where to look Smile

dulwichdays · 23/04/2018 11:46

@Claire138 AF is expected Tuesday or Wednesday (as long as no nasty tricks are played on my body!) so in my head I’ve said I’ll test Friday FMU if AF hasn’t arrived by then. But that might have totally changed by tomorrow!!

And I know that @cakelaur loves a POAS Friday!

Cakelaur · 23/04/2018 11:57

There's a heartbeat!! A teeny tiny little flicker on the screen! I can't believe it!!! It's measuring around 3mm and a couple days behind what we thought but a heartbeat!!!

DaisyMay25 · 23/04/2018 11:58

@Cakelaur that's fantastic news! So happy for you!! Did they say what the bleeding could be?

weasledee · 23/04/2018 12:05

Ok cake! What a relief!!! Brilliant news!! Could they give you a reason for the bleed?

Cakelaur · 23/04/2018 12:07

Thanks ladies. I'm in such shock!!! They were amazing!!! They said it was just little bean getting comfy, possibly implantation. She said sometimes people are just bleeders!!! And I did have IB and now spotting.

dulwichdays · 23/04/2018 12:09

Congratulations @cakelaur

DaisyMay25 · 23/04/2018 12:20

@Cakelaur what a relief! What did they date you at?

Claire138 · 23/04/2018 12:24

Aw @cakelaur that’s fantastic! I’m so glad they were helpful and got you sorted quickly! Just take it easy today and chill with your gorgeous pup!
@dulwichdays that is strong willpower! I’m trying to hold off to Saturday but let’s face it I will prob give in and POAS Friday! I have a great big ZERO signs but I know I’m still early.

strawberrye · 23/04/2018 12:24

@Cakelaur that's amazing news, so glad to hear!

I am at GPs in waiting room. GP thinks could be early viable pregnancy with implantation bleed or possible early ectopic (no fresh bleeding or painat the moment) or possible early miscarriage, too early to tell. I asked to have some blood hCG measurements to see if they are in the expected range and just waiting for the nurse to do my bloods.

SerenaOverjoyed · 23/04/2018 12:29

A heartbeat!!! Flowers

Claire138 · 23/04/2018 12:42

@strawberrye that is quite a range of possibilities! Do you have to just hold tight and see how you get on? Hope your bloods come back at normal level and it’s just been IB! ❤️

toasterstrudle · 23/04/2018 12:48

Thank you so much for lovely welcomes. It's such a horrible thing and so sad it's so common. Fingers crossed for us all.

@Cakelaur that is fantastic!!

dulwichdays · 23/04/2018 12:53

@Claire138 I’ve had zero symptoms too. Having a filthy cold has probably helped with distraction, but then today I’m noticing everything! Can’t seem to distract myself. Suddenly I want to do a FRER now!!

hayleyfx · 23/04/2018 12:55

@Cakelaur omg that’s amazing!! Congrats. I’m chuffed for you!

hayleyfx · 23/04/2018 12:56

@Bobo thank you!
I’m getting impatient now for af to arrive, the sooner the better really! Want to move onto next cycle. Feeling positive though!

Sloeberrygin · 23/04/2018 13:08

Fantastic news @Cakelaur!
@strawberrye hopefully you'll get some answers from the bloods

strawberrye · 23/04/2018 13:10

@Claire138 yes I know but it is pretty confusing! I am even more confused now, just took another Clearblue digital early detection = pregnant, then a Clearblue digital with weeks indicator = not pregnant. I think this far past ovulation with such low urine hCG levels it's unlikely to be a good outcome Sad

HidCat · 23/04/2018 13:18

@Cakelaur that's great news. Will they keep monitoring?

@strawberrye fingers crossed all is well, glad they're checking everything.
