Hi ladies, I had IVF and was very lucky it worked first time and I have been blessed with twins who are now 15 months. Last week I felt nauseous and had really bad heartburn (which I only had when I was pregnant) so I randomly took a pregnancy test 2 days before AF was due and it was positive!!! To say I was shocked is an understatement. Anyway of course I've been peeing on sticks left right and centre but I'm worried my lines are getting lighter? Here are my tests but wondering what you ladies thought. I guess I'm technically 4+2 now. xxxxx

Have you tried a clear blue digi to see if you've gone up a week? My miscarriages have always started bright red bloody. Pale pink seems like it's a common symptom around this time remember the baby is embedding down atm.

I did one 5 days before AF was due which said 1-2 weeks then I did another when AF was due (Thursday) which said 2-3 weeks then I did another on Sunday after I had a bit of brown Sat night and it says 3 weeks. Shall I do another in the morning and see if the weeks have gone down?

I reckon your fine you know. If it was a miscarriage the levels would be halving by now not still going up x

I only did that on Sunday though...I've got some more coming so I'll do another in the morning and see if the weeks go back. Arghh it's so tough when you just don't know isn't it. I don't know if I'm coming or going!!

I'm only 4dpo and I've just ordered 30 of Amazon only cheap strip ones I even tested today honestly I don't know why as it's physically impossible to show right now. When you want something so bad all sense just goes awol lol x

Yer that's true. I don't know why we torture ourselves but we do. I have got 4 x CB now so I'll do one in the morning and see what it says 🤷🏻‍♀️

Do one now? If your pregnant and the hormones there it'll still be the same result. With both mine I seemed to get a stronger reading at night time x

I can't because if it's gone down then I'll only blame it on being the evening and the others were all done FMU so I'll do one at 5am. Am prepared for bad news though.

Thank you! I'll let you know.
Nope nothing at all. Keep reading this seems to be how m/c start though. Feeling sad and heading to bed x

Morning! This mornings CB still says 3+ weeks. I'll do one on Friday again and see. Don't understand it! What makes you think I'll be ok?

When are you testing?

OP posts:
anitagreen · 26/09/2018 11:00

Told you it'll be okay and the fact your still getting higher levels on the clear blue makes me think you'll be fine with my miscarriage they was dropping so fast it was ridiculous and I'll test Saturday x

steppemum · 26/09/2018 11:11

ignore all symptoms.
I have been pregnant 7 times, and have 3 kids, and had every symptom under the sun, and also pregnancies with none.
There was no pattern between the pregnancies which went to term and the ones which didn't

also had quite a bit of bleeding on and off for my ds who turned out to be a massive healthy 10lbs. And no bleeding at all, but missed mc for one of mine at 10 weeks.

You will kill yourself speculating.
You are pregnant, there is no reason at all to say this one will or won't stay. Enjoy it. I know the waiting is awful. Good luck for your scan on Friday

How you getting on?x

Lolly2803 · 27/09/2018 19:40

Bit more brown off and on. Again just when I wipe and not all the time. This mornings CB still said 3+ weeks. But keep thinking if the brown is coming off and on more it can't be good so just preparing myself.

Thinking of you op. Could it be implementation bleeding? I always had it to the extent I wore a pad, assumed I wasn't pregnant and kept on drinking...

I don't know honestly but it doesn't seem like this would be good news. I was going to ring the EPU today and see what they say. I'm 5+1 I think so maybe a scan would show if I'm going to miscarry? I don't know but I wish I knew.

OP posts:
Ironytheoppositeofwrinkly · 28/09/2018 07:43

Op, I know it's hard to relax, but honestly, if you were going to miscarry, I'd have expected it to have happened by now. In my experience, the spotting doesn't last very long before it turns to heavy red bleeding.

GreenMeerkat · 28/09/2018 07:49

A scan wouldn't be able to tell you at this stage as heart won't have started beating yet, so they will probably just ask you to return in a week or so. You could ring them anyway and see what they advise. Your GP can also do blood tests to see how your HcG is rising which may be a better indicator at this stage. And also cheaper than using so many CB's!

Lots of people have spotting in early pregnancy, just rest and try not to worry for now. I know it's hard Brew

My GP did say about the blood tests but the earliest appointment I could get was the day before my scan next Friday at 6+1 so seemed a bit pointless!
Do you think I should call the EPU or just hold out till next Friday?
It's SO hard this not knowing isn't it!!

OP posts:
GreenMeerkat · 28/09/2018 08:12

Its worth a call. The EPU may be able to do the blood tests.

anitagreen · 28/09/2018 08:41

Call epu they can do blood tests I had them done with my second x
