Awaiting blood results can someone calm me :(

[mrsgtobe97]

I'm absolutely overwhelmed with anxiety and this is only my first cycle trying.

Over the last month now this has been ongoing and not sure how much longer I can take it. Last AF was 20th March, got blood tests done on Tuesday AM and the results were meant to be in on Thursday, which they aren't and receptionist just said phone back Monday! 🙈 I've had a mix of faint BFP and negatives over the last month, including a negative FRER this morning after a faint line yesterday morning, countless people saying chemical pregnancy or false bfp's and it should be this or that or this shade of test, but I've had no bleeding no pain no nothing. Feel at a dead end 😭. Can't do anything at the weekend either which is making it 100x worse. What do I do? Here are some of the faint bfp's I've had. Please only constructive replies as feeling very very emotional.

Thank you :) , the spotting has gone and it was basically a tiny bit of brown blood, very confused :/ will see what comes of it later but maybe all is not lost. However fully ready for af to perhaps turn up tomorrow xx

Don't know if anyone still following but the brown discharge is back this morning so not sure what going on. No red blood as yet x

TTC is such a minefield. I had faint positives and spotting once and it was a chemical pregnancy and then the second time it was twins! (They are two now). You never know. I’m sure lots of peoples cycles are all over the place due to corona related anxiety. I hope it’s good news for you tomorrow and if not I’m sorry and hope you get a bfp soon.

@Gunpowder thank you :) still just brown spotting when I wipe but no pain, also feel really off and unwell. Got a bit of a sore head quite tired, and my aerolas are really cracked and weepy. I have no idea whats going on with me x

@mrsgtobe97 any chance you could if ovulated way late and are still very early on and the brown spotting was implantation bleeding? I would suggest taking a digital as it will either say negative or positive and save you have to interpret a line

@2020wish no last BD was 6th April :/ already took a digital a week or so ago said negative

Maybe try another one if it’s been a week x

In the kindest way, it might be worth looking at ways to help your anxiety. You’re on such a early part of this journey.
Chronic stress causes increased levels of cortisol and adrenaline which puts your body into survival mode meaning it can affect conception.
It took me over a year to get pregnant the first time. We came to the conclusion after the first few months it was better to relax and enjoy the sex.

@Allnamesaregone it's not the trying to conceive that's making me anxious, it's the faint positives and negatives for a month followed by waiting a week for blood test results which will tell me if I am or not, now along with some brown spotting. Anyone would be climbing the walls by now. If I had just gotten my period when I expected and wasn't pregnant I'd of been okay, it's just the waiting and not knowing what's going on with me just now that's making me on edge x

I agree, anyone would be anxious in your situation. Hoping it's good news tomorrow

@lucymagoo thank you. Even if the bloods aren't back in tomorrow think I'll ask to speak to a doctor anyway as I've no clue what's going on and now coupled with the odd spotting that comes and goes 🙄

AF is in full swing today so definitely a chemical I think. Do I phone and ask to speak to the docters and tell them? Xxx

I was in a similar position last month, a few faint positive tests late period but then negative tests. After five days I called the dr and was booked in for a telephone consultation in the afternoon but then just before the call I started bleeding. I spoke to the dr and she was really lovely, said it sounds like an early miscarriage and that I should have called anyway so they can keep a record of it incase I need further tests in the future- my surgery refers for you investigations after three times so I think it's worth you speaking to them. The Dr also gave me worsening advice in case bleeding becomes very heavy, she said because I've already had a negative test there wasn't any need for any blood tests.
I don't know how you feel but after a long time trying we were in cloud nine to get a positive result but then when I got the negative I was sad but pleased we had managed to get pregnant in the first place as we were expecting to need fertility help and just wanted the period to start so we could get trying again but then when it happened I felt devastated which I didn't expect, after a few days I'd processed it and in my ovulation window this morning and trying every day. Hope you're ok and get any support you need, try and get a telephone call with your GP, mine also said they could point me in the direction of support services if I needed, I haven't needed them but good to know they exist if things were different.
Take care of yourself x

@Hopingtobelucky thank you so much, sorry to hear you've been through this too. I feel actually really positive about it, it was my first cycle trying so I feel quite encouraged that I did manage to conceive that quickly. We are trying again in August due to our wedding being February so 🤞🏼 it will be quite quick (touch wood 😂) and hopefully between now and August my periods get into a shorter cycle as they have been quite long since coming off the pill, but my last cycle was 101 days and now 51 days so it's halved 😃I hope you get your BFP soon xxx
