Pretty sure AF is showing up this morning. Spotting has increased, still not bleeding but I think it's definitely in its way.
I'm ok though, disappointed obviously but I know we weren't 100% trying this month and that it's better to have a period after miscarriage.

CatRen · 31/01/2019 02:41

Sorry to hear it ale, hope things become clear so you can start trying again this next cycle 💐

CatRen · 31/01/2019 02:51

My update is that my lines are stronger today, so we're one step closer.. how will I last until tuesday for my blood test?! 😫

Great lines @CatRen! Everything crossed for you 😘

CatRen · 01/02/2019 20:55

Thanks and sorry for hijacking the thread! Lines are really strong today so I'm still in the game.

Welcome Jduh and frilly! How are you both doing?

ale2992 · 02/02/2019 09:43

AF seems to be easing off now, gearing up for TTC again this month. Feeling really positive and hopeful 🤞🏻

Jduh · 02/02/2019 17:20

@CatRen Hi! Woke up to spotting this morning so recon period will be in full flow by tomorrow. Fingers crossed for month 17 instead 😩
Congrats on your positive! Fingers crossed for you that everything is good for your blood test Tuesday too!

frillyfarmer · 02/02/2019 21:50

Congratulations @CatRen!

Bizarrely I'm still pregnant. Miscarriage confirmed via scan on 18th followed by a negative test. Got suspicious after my 6th positive OPK in a row and did a pregnancy test - BFP instantly 🤨 so I've had three lots of bloods this week, HGC is rising and waiting for a scan after more spotting last night.

I don't know what to think, I feel pregnant but I don't want to let myself get excited because it could all go wrong still. They don't know whether it's my original pregnancy and they misdiagnosed a miscarriage or it's a new pregnancy (which, date wise seems impossible). So here I am in limbo!!

CatRen · 02/02/2019 23:02

Thanks jduh and hope this is the cycle for you guys!

frilly that is so, so crazy! It must be so hard not to still hope given your rising hcg levels, that's the main sign for pregnancy right? I mean it's how they properly confirm it with ivf..! Gosh, best of luck!

My test line is now stronger than my control line, so i'm getting a bit excited now. Two more tests to go (mon and tue) before my bloods confirm it for reals. 😬

Mammyofasuperbaby · 04/02/2019 10:29

So excited for you catren, hoping this one stays put for you.
I'm 4 days off testing and feeling sorry for myself. I slipped in the snow and sprained my wrist and then came down with full body aches and a sore throat with a high temp. I'm not holding out much hope but we'll see on the 7th

ale2992 · 04/02/2019 21:50

More ovulation tests ordered today, ready to start trying for this month 🤞🏻🤞🏻

CatRen · 05/02/2019 02:53

Best of luck this month with your opks ale!

And thanks mammy, hope you're ok after falling and sending you all the positive vibes for your test in a few days.

I got my beta results today, hcg at 385 so it's good news and I'll have more bloods done in a week and a scan in 3 weeks assuming all remains well. I'm so nervous!

Right no idea why but my notifications have switched off for this thread, I've returned to wonderful news - fatten, so extremely happy for you, have a good feeling about this one!!! Let us know how it goes today.

Nothing to report here still longish cycles and no bubba :( frilly that is so odd, I really hope for you you are still pregnant!

Coming up to the year mark now ttc 2 feeling a little deflated but knownir will happen for us eventually :)

Hello lethargic 👋 i had wondered where you'd gotten to! I'm assuming "fatten" was me 😂 so thanks! I shall keep you updated if there's anything to say. Sorry your cycles are messing with you. Are you going get some support from the gp after 12 months?

Mammyofasuperbaby · 05/02/2019 10:09

I caved and tested this morning with a first response rapid response test and it was stark white Sad. I know its not over till its over but that was deflating.
I'm getting no sings or symptoms either way apart from lots of sticky/tacky white cm, anyone know what that means

ale2992 · 05/02/2019 15:54

@Mammyofasuperbaby don't lose hope it's not over until it's over like you said.
Think I've read you get that kind of cm after ovulation x

ale2992 · 05/02/2019 22:04

Feeling a bit emotional/stressed tonight. I think I've found a small lump in one of my breast and now I'm thinking the worst. I've made an appointment to see my gp. Sorry to hijack the post but I feel like I need to get this out...

LethargicButAwesome · 05/02/2019 23:10

@catren yes! Sorry maybe it's an omen - you are due to fatten up. Hoping it was positive news - let us know how to went xx

@mammy it's shit isn't it, nothing anyway can say or do will make it better but we get up brush or self off and try for another month. We will get there - eventually and we are all in it together x

@ale you have done the best thing which is make a GP appointment, it may well be nothing there are lots of reasons for cycsts / lumps but go along get checked out and you can rule out the worst - hopefully

CatRen · 06/02/2019 02:35

Lol lethargic hopefully true! My bloods confirmed it, good hcg levels so I'll go back for more tests in a week to confirm the right level of growth. Eek!

Mammyofasuperbaby · 06/02/2019 16:38

I'm out. AF has just arrived so I had a little cry and then went to give my ds a cuddle. Its been one hell of a week and this hasn't helped but it is what IG is unfortunately

LethargicButAwesome · 08/02/2019 21:35

Oh fantastic news @catren I know how long you have been waiting, very much deserve it - congratulations.

Sorry mammy totally sucks - but onwards and upwards another month another chance, remember your not alone!

Morning ladies. Had another scan on Tuesday, they couldn't see anything asides from a small amount of material - which could either be retained material or a new early pregnancy.

HGC levels still rising so at the moment I'm on high alert for ectopic symptoms and rescan again on 14th. I feel like I've been in limbo for a very very long time.

frillyfarmer · 09/02/2019 08:32

@CatRen how far along do they think you are? X

Catren · 09/02/2019 09:05

Oh my lordy frilly that's so unbelievable. I really really hope it works out for you, but must be so hard waiting in limbo like this!

By my blood test they said i was 4 weeks on tuesday, so a very early 4+4. Given its an ivf pregnancy they know exactly when conception happened, but not exactly sure about implantation although i think it was the day of transfer as i was sooo much crampier than the first two failed transfers. I'll find out more on tuesday at my second blood test when hopefully my levels will have risen loads. Cross your fingers! 🤞🤞

Catren · 10/02/2019 06:51

Hey mammy sorry af came, that's rubbish. Hope you had some cuddles with your ds. Sending all the luck for next month 🤞
