Then this today...

Thoughts?

It's not exactly clear.

Really light period this month

Do a FRER. My weird 1.5 day period turned out to be implantation.

ELW85 · 30/07/2019 08:23

I agree with @LividLaughLove - do a FRER!

Thistledew · 30/07/2019 09:04

Thanks for the suggestions- will try to get a more sensitive test later.

But I'm about 17 days PO, so surely it should be clearer now if it was viable?

@Thistledew - you might have Ov later than you think? You could always wait a couple of days and retest?
I know it’s a weird state of limbo, but keeping everything crossed for you!

Maybe- but due to late working this month DH and I only dtd once- so I know within a few days when we could have conceived.

Ah I see.
I wish I had better advice than ‘do a FRER/ give it a couple of days’
I had spotting after my BFP (I took it a day before AF was due) and time and re-testing was the only advice the midwife gave to me, as it was so early.
Really hoping for good news for you!

BFP

I can certainly see a line. I agree, another test / frer x

So I did a clear blue digital today and it says 1-2 weeks!

I'm still a bit cautious as the same dip tests are still just showing a very faint line. (I can't seem to attach photos at the moment).

I'm also getting a bit of spotting- although I did get this in the first few weeks with my DS as well.

Although we were ttc in a fairly laissez faire kind of way, I'm now full of doubts as to what I hope the outcome will be.

DS is now 3, and is just wonderful- albeit in a very high energy and demanding sort of way. I'm just feeling like I'm getting back into physical shape and am not quite as exhausted. My career is picking up again. Our house would feel quite small with 2 DC but affording a bigger place in the right area is a problem.

Both DH and I were only children so don't have a huge issue with DS being one.

But if I imagine myself in the future with just one child I do feel a sense of regret.

Well- things are out of my hands now it seems.

I'm worried still about my hormone levels being low. Any idea how long it will be before I get an indication if things are not viable?

@Thistledew congratulations! I don’t think there’s a timescale for viability; things tend to go as they go at any stage and as far as I’m aware, the midwife/hospital wouldn’t intervene unless it was after a recurrent loss?
You can call your midwife for advice though?

Thistledew · 16/08/2019 14:05

I've just had a 6 week scan as I have still been spotting every day and there was a clear heartbeat!

They also saw a small haematoma, which is not of concern and is the likely cause of the spotting.
