@Northernsoul90 how many weeks were you at MVA? Could just be taking longer for HCG to leave your system.
Mine had dropped from 1900miu to 200miu on last day of bleeding. I left it a while to test and 6 days later I had a negative test.
It may be worth asking EPU to see if they can test your hcg levels, the past few miu can take a little while I have been told, especially if your count was higher in the first place.
Hope that helps x it's most likely just taking a while to leave your body rather than being retained products. X

@MichT4 yeah it's crazy isn't it, when I kinda thought I was pregnant I was on holiday and was like I'll test when I'm back and wasn't concerned at all, waited 4 days after I got back just popped into a boots got their cheapest test and did it in a toilet at work and never tested again, didn't even think about a CP( well I was over 5 weeks but you know what I mean) and didn't even consider how wrong things could go 😔 your day sounds very nice I'm just sat on the sofa watching Netflix waiting for OH to wake up x

@1990EM haha I'm the same as you, didn't even think about testing again when I got my BFP will be so different this time I'm sure, ahh hope you are doing well and enjoying the sunshine 😎 and you are so early I bet once you see a scan you'll be so much more connected xx

@VP91x no she moved into pharmaceutical sales and she loves it actually, all working from home basically and then goes out to GPs surgeries and stuff but obviously worried at the moment as no GP or hospital visits for a while for her x

@Renna 🤞 🤞 that it's the month for so many of us xx

@Northernsoul90 hi lovely, I know everybody can be different but the test I took about 8 days after surgery was a blazing positive but it did reduce the week after, are yours getting lighter? I still saw my peak on opks as it was much stronger than the general highs on them in the first month so you could definitely try them and see if you see a pattern - only if you're ready xx

@1990EM well yes, the EWCM was a positive, as was my peak. I just have to think positive I guess, it’ll happen one day I just hope sooner rather than later.

Please try and relax with your pregnancy. I was literally just saying to OH that I really want to try and relax when it does happen again. I know it’s hard, but last time I loved looking at the weekly progress and stuff, I don’t want to not have that.
Same for you - you deserve this time and the happiness. Don’t let anything stop you enjoying it. Definitely agree you should get a scan early, just to reassure you xx

@VP91x I’m in Hampshire. Currently being looked after by my nieces who keep bringing me ice cream (pretend obviously). I can see how your little one keeps you distracted

@Northernsoul90 sorry I can’t add any words of wisdom. I’ll second @mrsssk as she sounds very wise

xx

Well I did cave and I am indeed pregnant! I’ve just realised I’m only 11dpo too, but no special effects or cgi was needed to see it, deffo preggers! I just hope I can manage to bake this one 😬🤗

@SmileyT ah, that's so good but yeah can imagine it won't be great for the moment. Hope things settle going forward and she can get back to some normality with it.

@MichT4 oh how lovely!! Haha, yeah you always get brought random things.

This is my IC from just now. Maybe later I might have some progress. Xx

@DontStandSoClose oh that's amazing news!! Such a strong line ❤️🥰 congratulations xx

Awww thanks, I have to admit I was anticipating having to stand on my head etc to see it if there was a line, but it was there within about 20 seconds of dipping it!

@SmileyT @VP91x I think the guidance is to work from home or if have to be in school have as little contact with other people as possible. Knowing school, they'll still make me go in but lock me in a cupboard somewhere.

Congratulations @DontStandSoClose

@DontStandSoClose congratulations!!!!! Definitely no squinting needed for that! That is a BIG fat positive ❤️❤️

@2020wish are you hanging in there? I did almost cave today with my CB digital but last time it only read pregnant on CD28, never any earlier. So holding off until tomorrow. If I'm not pg,
I think I have a stomach bug because my stomach is awful and so much nausea.

@mrsssk I was between 8 and 9 weeks when the mva was done. Thank you for your advice, I think I might wait another few days until mid week maybe and retest if it’s still quite strong I will give EPU a ring.

@SmileyT I took a test on Monday and I do think it has got lighter since then I think I just presumed it would have been much fainter by this point. I had bad sickness during the pregnancy and this stopped immediately after the mva which I thought meant the hormones had rapidly dropped. It’s all very confusing I may do an opk later out of curiosity if anything else!

Feeling quite sad that I hoped and prayed for a positive so badly and didn’t dare believe it when I saw it and then now all I want to see is a negative. Hopefully I will get a fainter test next week and if not will contact EPU. It is only early days after the mc but I feel like I just want my body to return to normal and then I can focus on ttc. The longing to become a mum is unbearable sometimes as I’m sure everyone can relate to. Thank you all for your replies and reassurance xxx

@DontStandSoClose congratulations! That is a very strong positive

@DontStandSoClose yay!!! ❤️ so happy to see this!

@DontStandSoClose wow!! Congratulation!! Amazing news!! Can you remind me of the details. What cycle TTC is this? And what did you do? And what symptoms did you have?

@VP91x that is progress! Excited to see the progression. I decided to stop OPKs as they were definitely getting lighter, although had another peak yesterday lunch. But I guess once you’ve had the peak then that’s it?

@DontStandSoClose congratulations on you bfp 🎉🎉🎉 xxx

@DontStandSoClose congratulations!! Lovely news 😃

@SmileyT AF arrived a bit earlier this morn, so am into cycle 5 - am taking the positive stance that I only had one day of spotting before this time - so I think that I must be getting to more what I was like pre-pg/mc! I feel disappointed, but my cycles are pretty regular so fertile window will be here before I know it! I only use the cheap opks - but flashy smiley on the cb means the lh surge is due soon? 🤞🏻 xx

@DontStandSoClose congrats!!!

@chloedancer897 yea I’m holding out. Feeling so sick tho and it’s Only lifting when I eat something. Also pulling down there and feeling agitated but I know this could all be from anixtey and possibly a cold as I’m sneezing and coughing. But looking back on the other 3 times I’ve fallen pregnant this year I didn’t get my BFP until CD 29 which would be Monday. I’ll test tomorrow anyway and see. Also frer never work for me. But have one and a clear blue

Last month I got my positives (3rd pregnancy)on 10dpo and a digital 11dpo but on looking at the cycle it was a longer cycle and actually worked out to be cycle day 29 lol even tho cycle day 29 this month and the first two pregnancies were 13/14dpo. Is that normal? I think because the second pregnancy being the further along one messed up my cycle last month and caused it to be longer? Does that make sense

@MichT4 yeah good idea to stop them. I stopped the day they went light after my peak last month.

@Bellabubble sorry AF came but glad thst you feel more comfortable that your cycle is back to being more normal for you. FW will be here quickly for you xx

@DontStandSoClose congratulations !! Wishing you healthy pregnancy ☺️

AF arrived 😞😞

@MichT4 we decided to go for number 3 in March (we have a 4 and 2 year old already), we tried the very end of March/early April very half arsed to be honest, I think we had sex twice in about 6 weeks, well timed granted just before ovulation. I got pregnant right away as I did with my 2 children but miscarried at just over 6 weeks. I think I found it hard even though it was only very early because I've never had any issues before so assumed positive test = baby. I was due Christmas Day, so it's also been hard seeing people reveal they are pregnant this week (there's been 3!), last week would have been my 12 week scan.

We tried again last month right away and I for the first time used ovulation tests as I assumed things would be messed up. So I spent the entire month testing and having sex every other day (hard work with 2 children around!!!) for me to never get a positive opk and obviously not be pregnant. My period was 6 days late too, just to mess with me! I found getting a negative test hard to deal with (even though I knew I most likely hadn't ovulated), I've never seen a negative wanting a positive as I've only ever tested late or not wanting to be pregnant. I take my hat off to anyone getting month after month of negatives, I was angry from 1 month!! Which is ridiculous and irrational!!

I didn't actually "do" anything I just had sex days 9, 10, 11, 12 (no other time the entire cycle) (ovulation day 12- I think) but even that was hard work 😆 with kids around 24/7. I've always thought I ovulated day 11 going off pains but I only got a positive opk that day so I think the pains I've always felt must signify the day before ovulation, I never realised as I've never tested for ovulation. So yes it was just a case of targeted sex again oh and laying down afterwards, nothing else though.

@chloedancer897 I'm so sorry af arrived xx

Thanks @DontStandSoClose It's hit me like a ton of bricks. I felt so pregnant. I really had myself convinced. But I always have myself convinced. You'd think I'd be used to AF showing after 2 1/2 years of trying but it doesn't get any easier.

Onwards to CD1 again
