Awwwh @Gems7 I am sorry lovely 💗 soo many women spot in early pregnancy and all is absolutely fine. Can you take another test to see if its still a strong line? And when we get to 6 weeks you can call the EPU to be scanned 💗💗

Missgoldilocks · 12/04/2020 10:15

@Gems7 no!! ❤️ 😩🤗🤗 Take another pregnancy test and see if it's a strong line!! As @anny27 said, is there any way of getting a. Private scan? I'm so sorry but please try not to stress try to relax as much as much as you can to help things xxxx

Laur89 · 12/04/2020 11:10

Oh @Gems7 no! As @Annny27 and @Missgoldilocks said, can you take a test and see what the lines like? Hopefully you might be able to get an early scan, spotting can happen in early pregnancy! Big hugs lovely 🤗

Gems7 · 12/04/2020 13:13

Thanks girls, I did take a test first thing this morning and it had a a strong line but I just feel like it's coming and that line is going to disappear very shortly. My boobs have been so sore but they are okay now. I haven't spotted since this morning but all I can do is wait and ride out the next few days and what will be will be.
I feel so churned up inside 😔 I'm just led on the sofa and haven't moved, I can't face food. I will test again tomorrow but my gut is telling me that it's the end. Thankyou for all your support 😘 xx

Missgoldilocks · 13/04/2020 09:07

@Gems7 oh babe 😩🤗🤗🤗🤗 I'm so sorry you feel like this it's just bloody awful. How are things now? I'm really rooting for you that all is well!!! Maybe the spotting was a bit of late implantation? ❤️ Pete know what is happening, has anything changed? I know I can't tell you to try and relax because how can you 😢 but please take it easy and I prayyyy everything is OK xxx

Laur89 · 13/04/2020 19:25

How are you feeling @Gems7? Thinking of you!

Gems7 · 13/04/2020 19:51

@Laur89 Thank-You huni. Feeling pretty much the same really. Has another positive pregnancy test this morning but still spotting, it's still light and only when I wipe but I just feel really strange about it. Like I'm not pregnant and it's the spotting I always get before AF and that she will be here any day. That's how I feel, and there's nothing anyone can do to help me I just have to sit here and wait.
I've text my midwife who said to put a pad in, monitor it, wait a week and do another pregnancy test. I can't have a scan because I'm only 5+2 and you need to be 6 weeks.
I just have this niggling feeling that I have a progesterone issue and it's so frustrating because no one will listen to me and check it out 😔 My midwife suggested calling the early pregnancy unit tomorrow and asking if they will do a HCG blood test to check levels but I don't think they will because I'm not 6 weeks yet, and if they don't then she will do one when she is back in the hospital. she's off sick this week so it will be next week.
I'm sorry if I'm being a negative nelly girls I'm just so upset and can't stop worrying / thinking about it xx

Missgoldilocks · 15/04/2020 12:27

@Gems7 how are things now hun?? Hope you're okay ❤️❤️

Gems7 · 15/04/2020 15:56

@Missgoldilocks still pretty much the same, thanks for asking hun. Still spotting although still light and only when I wipe. Just taking one day at a time to get to 6/7 weeks and praying it's nothing serious. Each day feels like 5 though it's torture! How are you? Will you be entering FW now? I'm keeping my fingers crossed so tightly for you! 😘 xx

Missgoldilocks · 15/04/2020 19:54

@Gems7 oh man, I'm really sorry to hear that 🤗 I really really hope it doesn't get worse 😩xxxxx yes I'm cd11 now so will start dtd soon... Maybe tonight then skip tomorrow then go at it I dunno we will see xx

Annny27 · 16/04/2020 08:09

@gems7 just take it easy and try and relax which i know is so tricky when you are concerned:( light apotting is super common but still obviously anxiety inducing. You must be nearly 6 weeks now?

@Missgoldilocks yay for approaching fertile week!

@PrettyTulip how are you doing?

I am 1dpo now so tww 🙈

Gems7 · 16/04/2020 16:52

Thanks girls, it's really died down today I've only noticed it once so far (touch wood) and it was the lightest brown you can imagine, barely there mixed in with creamy CM... keeping my fingers crossed that it's over and praying it was nothing serious!! Had another strong positive this morning. I haven't been to work all week and have just been resting. Today is the first day I've been out of bed and ventured outside in the garden so hopefully it's done the trick. I've plonked myself on a lounger all afternoon it's been fab! But Honestly the worrying never stops.. nightmare! Thinking about booking an early scan privately.. Thankyou for your support
Can't wait for you girls to get your BFP's, are either of you doing anything differently this cycle? Xx

Missgoldilocks · 16/04/2020 20:58

@Gems7 I'm so so glad to hear that!! Yayyyy❤️❤️👌👌 enjoy the sunshine and definitely rest! I'm not doing anything different except for taking dong quai which helps blood flow to the uterus and also 3000mg of primrose oil instead of 2000. Me and OH had an argument last night he really wants a break from trying it's really getting between us and basically he doesn't want to hear me upset every month 🙄😩 sooo I had to say I wouldn't talk aboit it anymore... You girls may see me on here more ranting the crazy because of this.. We haven't dtd yet I'm cd12 had a tiny bit of ewcm but nothing since this kroming so might not do it again and maybe start tomorrow. But going to try and be relaxed as I can 🤔😕😕😕😕😕

@anny27 how are you feeling xx

Missgoldilocks · 19/04/2020 14:10

Hey girls how is everyone??
I got my solid smiley today, dtd Thursday night, Saturday morning and this morning. Will dtd again tonight and tomorrow night so fingers crossed we get somewhere. My cervix only rose this morning so hopefully it's the right timing. Me and OH had a big argument a few nights ago about it all so I'm trying to relax a little otherwise its just not very healthy for us. He wanted a break while I cant... So I just hope to god we get a bfp soon 😩 xx

PrettyTulip · 20/04/2020 08:31

Hey ladies.

@Gems7 sorry to hear you've been spotting. Hopefully now it's turned brown and minimal you'll go on to have a lovely and healthy pregnancy 🤰 💕

@Missgoldilocks sorry to hear about your argument. There's been many a times when my DH has looked at me in a certain way (that I think he is gonna file for divorce 😂) on this situation, especially when hormones do not help at all! Fingers crossed all is okay for you both now and that you can continue trying without being too hard on your relationship 💐

@Anny27 hope you're okay xx

I think I've got another infection (either that or my original BV didn't clear up fully) as I've got spotting, sometimes painful to pee, cloudy pee & sometimes smelly pee lol. I didn't have 1 symptom before - how strange xx

Annny27 · 20/04/2020 09:16

Morning:) I am in the tww now, period on the 30th April so gonna try not be crazy this month🤣

@Gems7 how are you doing? Have things eased up more?

@Missgoldilocks ttc is stressful, my DH gets especially annoyed when I say "we have to do it tonight" and stuff like that haha

Sounds like a UTI or a bladder infection. Deffo call the GP

Annny27 · 20/04/2020 09:16

forgot to tag you above @PrettyTulip

PrettyTulip · 20/04/2020 09:31

@Annny27 yeah I've done my swab (had to do it myself 😂) and urine test so just awaiting the results xx

Annny27 · 20/04/2020 09:54

Oh good! @PrettyTulip yeah I have had to do one myself before it felt very weird haha! Hopefully they get it sorted 🤞🤞

Missgoldilocks · 20/04/2020 10:03

@PrettyTulip oh super annoying they can be so painful!! I hope you feel better soon xx

@anny27 I'm right behind you my period is due on 3rd May which is my BIRTHDAY 😩😩😩 if af comes it will ruin my whole day urgh so fingers 🤞.

Hope we all get our bfps soon

PrettyTulip · 20/04/2020 11:16

@Annny27 @Missgoldilocks just had the results.
I've got a water infection AND bv (I'm guessing it never cleared up?) xx

Missgoldilocks · 20/04/2020 11:28

@PrettyTulip hmm why wouldn't it have cleared up if you took the full medication every day?? Are you using some type of soap? You should. Only wash downstairs with water or aqueous cream xx

PrettyTulip · 20/04/2020 12:36

@Missgoldilocks yeah I took the full dose but they've gave me a higher dose this time... & no I don't use anything down there just water x

Annny27 · 20/04/2020 12:44

@PrettyTulip sometimes infections like that take two doses to go away! I had thrush recently twice in 2 months (having never had it before!!) And it took two doses of the medicines to go away.

@Missgoldilocks oh we will be testing at similar times then!!!

Gems7 · 21/04/2020 18:08

Hi girls
@Missgoldilocks sorry you have been arguing with OH about TTC.. that's really shit! How stressful is it though.. I completely understand and can relate to every emotion you're going through. Are you in the TWW now then? 🤞🏻

My update isn't all that positive really. Still spotting, still very light, I am 6+2or3 today and had my scan at the hospital. There was no heartbeat. 😞 I have another scan next Tuesday, if there's still no heartbeat then the doctor will discuss the miscarriage options with me. I could also miscarry naturally before then so I am off work for the next 7 days and bought sanitary products, painkillers and chocolate on my way home from the hospital. Of course there's a chance there will be a heartbeat next Tuesday but I am very skeptical as the lady who scanned me today said she was surprised not to see one today. There was a small patch of bleeding next to the sac that's obviously what I'm experiencing. The nurse told me that could be implantation bleeding or equally it could be my body preparing to miscarry. So still no definite answers, I am drained and devastated,but I'll keep you posted

Really hope all you girls are doing okay xx
