@ChikiTIKI your line got stronger, so I wouldn't worry. Go to the doctors and get checked if you are concerned. What colour is the spotting, and do you have any cramps? My sister had spotting and she has a 1 year little girl now. I am praying for you 💜 💚 💜

I know in my heart that this is another chemical pregnancy. I am going to go to the GP later if I can get an appointment. I peed at 12am and then I tested at 4.45 because I had to pee again. The urine was was strong enough, as it was nearly a 5 hour hold. My temp is rising which seems to be contradictory to the test 😑

Carastarchild · 08/08/2019 11:16

I brought the tests with me and the doctor agreed that it looks like it's a chemical pregnancy. She took a blood test to check for hcg levels and I will have my results tomorrow. Funny thing is I felt pregnant yesterday and today my symptoms are decreasing. I came out of the doctors and cried my eyes out.

ChikiTIKI · 08/08/2019 13:13

Oh no @Carastarchild I'm so so sorry :(
I'm praying for you and holding out hope.

The spotting this morning was light brown. Haven't had any more since this morning but it made me feel so sad. I might go to the docs anyway and see if we can arrange an early scan to put my mind at rest.

Thinking of you I hope you get good news tomorrow xxxx

I am prepared for the worst. I just was so scared of this happening and it looks like it is. I am probably 90% sure right now that it's not good. The only thing giving me a tiny Glimmer of hope is my temp and no sign of AF. Results should be in after lunch tomorrow.

I wouldn't worry if it was an odd thing. Brown is old as well, so maybe the body just pushed it out. Keep an eye on it, but I really feel positive about your pregnancy 💚

Carastarchild · 08/08/2019 14:18

@Curlywurly3 congratulations Mama! Wow... You must be over the moon 💜💐💜

ChikiTIKI · 08/08/2019 20:19

@Carastarchild I think it's really positive that your temp is still going up. Hopefully you have high hcg results tomorrow. When I got home from work I had (sorry tmi here...) a blob of cm. Half was yellowish colour and half was this greyish light brownish colour. So I think that's what I was getting bits of this morning. The times I've had it is a few times in the mornings mainly.

My husband doesn't think it's blood. I must admit I have been accused of being slightly colourblind continuously throughout my life but still this feels a bit worrying to me.

Think I will ask about a reassurance scan. It's hard because I can't bear to know if something is wrong but also I know it's better for me to find out ASAP if something is wrong.

Hoping for a positive day tomorrow for all xxxx

@Carastarchild I’m so sorry to hear what’s been happening. You must be all over the place, hope you can find some more information and solace very soon. And it does seem hopeful that your temp is still going up. I have everything crossed for you. Will they test your HCG levels again to see if it’s still rising? I know from friends who have suffered with infertility that apparently it’s all about the increase, and not just one set of hormone figures.

Much much love to you x

LauraPalmersBodybag · 08/08/2019 23:12

And @ChikiTIKI gosh, I’m sorry to hear you’re in a scary place too, especially after your mc. Try to remember that bleeding now doesn’t necessarily mean a loss...it would be great if you could have a scan soon to give you a clearer picture and hopefully some reassurance.

Love to you too xx

Letting go of this cycle now. My hcg came back at three. The frer must be super sensitive, as I got a bit of a line yesterday.

My temp started to drop this morning as
well.

Third time lucky I hope 🍀

@Carastarchild oh I’m so so sorry. Be kind to yourself and allow time to grieve this. Flowers

Carastarchild · 09/08/2019 16:39

Thanks at @LauraPalmersBodybag. I am on a tea break now. I just don't think it's hit me, as I am at work and I have to keep going for now.

ChikiTIKI · 09/08/2019 18:59

Oh no @Carastarchild :( I'm so sorry. Sending love. I'm sorry it didn't work out xxxx

Thank you for your kind words @ChikiTIKI 💜💐💜how are you doing? I hope everything has settled down for you.

I am going to book a session with a homeopathic therapist. I just feel that something is going on in my body. That's the 2nd chemical pregnancy in the last 6 months. I just wonder if my immune system is preventing me from becoming pregnant. I still don't have any bleeding, but my temp will probably drop in the morning.

My husband said that this has made him realise just how much he really wants to be a dad. He said he felt gutted that it didn't work out this time, as he was certain this was it. He believes we can get pregnant again next month. I have to smile at his positivity and determination ☺️ Silver lining 💜

Carastarchild · 10/08/2019 11:37

My temp is dropping. Still no sign of any blood, so I am happy that when my body knew there was an embryo it did what it was supposed to do. I am feeling a bit better today 🌸 Feeling more focused on getting to the bottom of what is going on.

@LondonKez how have you been doing? I noticed that you having been on in a while 💐

ChikiTIKI · 10/08/2019 15:07

@Carastarchild your husband sounds lovely :)

Have you had your thyroid checked? I am going to get mine checked if I have another MC.

I am doing ok at the moment thanks, the spotting has stopped for now.

Hoping your sticky BFP is just around the corner xxxx

Hi @ChikiTIKI I am delighted to hear that everything has settled back down. I had blood tests done a few weeks ago and I searched everywhere last night for the printout that the GP gave me of them. Could not find them anywhere. I am going to ask them for another copy on Monday. I have been in contact with the homeopath and she said that she will get back to me with an appointment during the week. Feeling very tired today, but I suppose that is normal considering what's going on.

ChikiTIKI · 10/08/2019 22:12

Yeah it's a lot for your body to handle, make sure you rest and take it easy for a while.

Is it your sister's wedding soon? I was going to ask if you had something lovely to look forward to and then remembered about the wedding! xxx

OP posts:
Carastarchild · 11/08/2019 12:08

Thanks @ChikiTIKI. I had a bit of a lie in this morning ☺️ How are you feeling? Have you booked your appointment with the midwife? When I get pregnant again I think I will wait until I am 6 weeks before I contact the GP.

AF arrived today so I am officially on CD1 again. I am thinking of using the clear blue advanced fertility monitor again this cycle, as it let's me know when I have the estrogen surge that triggers the LH surge. Feeling a bit better every day 💜

LondonKez · 11/08/2019 12:40

Hi ladies, sorry I've been quiet. I've been trying to distract myself. I am CD10 of cycle 23. I've not allowed myself to test unless I'm later than 7 days, so no idea if I've ever even had a bfp in that time. I haven't done any OPKs, temping or hpts at all since April. We've just booked our wedding for next summer to have something else to look forward to.

Congratulations @ChikiTIKI, I hope things have settled down for you now?
Sorry @carastarchild, that can't be easy, but your husband definitely has the right mindset.
Congratulations @Curlywurly3! So lovely to hear from you!
Little boys are amazing @LauraPalmersBodybag! My nephews are like baby koalas!
@PineappleC how are the test going? Do you have a date for your pelvic exam?

Sending love to you all x

ChikiTIKI · 11/08/2019 17:38

I am doing well thanks @LondonKez and @Carastarchild

Haven't booked in with midwives. I will go to the GP sometime soon and get referred out of area. I won't see local midwives due to previous negative experience. I will ask to do the scan before the full booking in appointment too. Probably won't ask for an additional scan unless the doctor suggests it, but I don't see the point in doing a 2-hour booking in appointment until we know the results of the scan.

@LondonKez that's exciting about your wedding :)

And @Carastarchild I'm glad you're starting to feel better xxxx

Hi ladies 💜

@LondonKez congratulations 💐 That's wonderful news! I have been attending reflexology and I absolutely love it. I believe it is really helping me. I knew that I was pregnant because my body remembered how it felt.

@ChikiTIKI I am sorry to hear that you had such a tough time last time. Do what you feel best 💜 3 weeks and two days to the wedding 💒 😊 I hope to be pregnant again by then, but I definitely won't be testing until the day after. Don't want to feel upset it it's a BFN.
