Evening all, I still have a faint line on test but it’s a bit fainter than yesterday so I think I’m going to test tomorrow morning to see how it’s looking with a fmu. I did a cheap ovulation test too and that’s also got a faint second line. On the cheap ones I never get a second line that’s as dark as the control line, but I think it could go darker yet, unless the hcg left in me is messing with it? I’ve hardly bled today just a tiny bit of brown so I think the bleeding done. Would I be safe to DTD now with the whole waiting cause infection or should I wait for neg preg test? X

Renna · 16/07/2020 19:45

@2020wish god knows I've just got the email now so I've replied asking why only £25 . It went via hermes as it was an option ebay suggested when I used their service called 'packlink' and packlink have compensated me £25 as it looks like what they insure you for for parcels ..but Hermes are the one who declared it lost ... having a glass of wine to calm down and look into if I can speak to someone on the phone 🙄 xxxx hope you're ok xxx

SmileyT · 16/07/2020 20:04

@Lollol86 I had some soya milk and my body did not agree with it, I was sick last time I tried it last Monday and that made me test so maybe my body no longer likes soya. Considering my parents don't eat dairy so basically drank it everyday when I was at home, and always get coffees at work with it, it's strange but hey ho 🤷🏾‍♀️

@MichT4 ooh that is a dark opk would be great if you get a nice early ovulation and your body is reset x

@Northernsoul90 my opks fluctuate during the day and by the day and those hcg tests look pretty much negative 🙌🏾 mine was darker than that and I ovulated a couple days later. Bet you just can't wait to start a new cycle and start a fresh, hope it happens for you quick xx

@Sjk89 I'm so sorry for your losses hopefully you find some comfort in this group xx

@Niisa that's good that your EPU is walk-in, mine I had to go to A&E wait to be seen to get a referral 🙄 haha you sound so relax I need to embrace this, I was actually going to get another early scan at 6weeks but trying not to 😂

@Hayleylou89 I'm glad you had a good break, bet you feel well rested and ready for scan on Monday isn't it? I'm all good, apart from being sick at work, no real symptoms at all but still super early so trying to not think about it x

@2020wish definitely test again in the morning, hopefully comes up in the timeframe tomorrow with an extra day for levels to rise🤞

@Renna I'd be fuming aswell 😤 definitely find a phone number and give them an earful and enjoy your vino 🥂 xx

Northernsoul90 · 16/07/2020 20:21

@SmileyT Thank you! Ooh that's good to know and gives me a bit of hope 😊 how are you feeling?

@Pugprincess Yes hcg can show up on opks, I posted about it earlier on today I think it's still been showing up on my opks almost 6 weeks after mc. I am still getting the faintest of positives on sensitive tests (with fmu). I think normally people advice to start opks once you have a negative test. I don't think there is any reason to wait to the dtd until you get a negative? Obviously just once the bleeding stops and as when you feel ready 😊 xx

MichT4 · 16/07/2020 20:21

@SmileyT it would be lovely. Doesn’t sound like me though 😂

How was your dinner?

@Renna that is really annoying. I’m sure they can’t give you less than the value. I hope you get somewhere on your call. Enjoy the vino x

Pugprincess · 16/07/2020 20:31

@Northernsoul90 thanks! Yes I feel ready to do it and think bleeding has stopped. Ahhh I hope the tests don’t dick around for ages. Maybe every other day DTD is the best way to cover ourselves till regular cycles back.

Lollol86 · 16/07/2020 20:33

@Pugprincess you just need the bleeding to fully stop before DTD to stop infection.

@SmileyT bless you, maybe time to avoid it now, a good sign your body is rejecting something though.

I’m 12 dpo today, stupidly done a test at 10 days and it was negative obviously pretty sure I’m not pregnant. Tempted to do 1 More test tomorrow and if a negative I will move on and wait for next cycle.

Pugprincess · 16/07/2020 20:36

@Lollol86 ah so even if I’ve had a teeny few spots of brown on my pad today is that dangerous to DTD? Sorry first miscarriage so totally new ground for me xx

bxiiboo · 16/07/2020 20:42

Hi ladies,

I have been following these threads for a while, and just want to say thank you!

I miscarried at 11 weeks in April and have been following these threads since and it's nice to see other people that are going through similar to me (and that I'm not going crazy!)

Been TTC since April with no luck after getting BFP the first trying, I also have bad pains one one side of my pelvis like in my hip area, called the GP today who has given me antibiotics but I'm sure it's not an infection as it doesn't feel like that kind of pain- has anyone else suffered with this at all? I had a very large cyst when pregnant and I'm sure it's still in there but they won't carry out a scan until I have the antibiotics.

I have had cycles like clock work all 28 days since MC but was due on yesterday and having just light brown spotting, again not sure if this is linked to my pain?

Thanks again ladies for keeping me sane these past few months, and sorry for your losses x

bxiiboo · 16/07/2020 20:44

Also, not sure why my post has come up 3 times! Sorry! Confused

Lollol86 · 16/07/2020 21:01

@Pugprincess I’m only going by what I was told from the hospital lovely, but they said to wait until all bleeding had stopped as it could cause an infection.

@bxiiboo sorry for your loss. I’ve not had that before, have you taken a pregnancy test to rule that out?

Firevie · 16/07/2020 21:05

@Pugprincess I’ve had an ERPC on Tuesday and my doc told me no hanky panky for two weeks.

Pugprincess · 16/07/2020 21:07

@Lollol86 ok thanks 😊

@Firevie two weeks 😳 damnnn 😆

Girlmum83 · 16/07/2020 21:28

@ManchNic tentative congratulations and best wishes for a happy healthy 9 months 🌈💕

SmileyT · 16/07/2020 21:30

@Northernsoul90 all good over here thanks for asking... x

@MichT4 well turns out my friend is a bit of a turd (we've been friends for 20yrs) she spent the whole time talking about how she was now under 7 1/2 stone and how she can't possibly eat enough to put on weight and that her boyfriend wants to have a baby but she doesn't know if she really fancies getting fat and giving up wine. The whole thing was exhausting, we also didn't end up eating just getting a drink... very overpriced tonic water for me and I hadn't eaten since breakfast. Sorry for the rant but some people just do my head in 😤

@Lollol86 definitely do another test, 13dpo you'll get a conclusive result 👌🏾 and yes I'll avoid the soya now x

Hi @bxiiboo 👋 sorry I haven't suffered with any pain, if it was me I'd definitely push for a scan if the antibiotics don't work. Doctors can be reluctant to investigate you but you have to advocate for yourself and really push them x

SmileyT · 16/07/2020 21:31

@Girlmum83 how are you doing? x

1990EM · 16/07/2020 21:37

@bxiiboo sorry for your loss and what you are going through now. Having had ovarian cysts i know its not nice. If the antibiotics don't make any difference I hope you get scanned soon!

1990EM · 16/07/2020 21:45

@MichT4 it does seem like things are ramping up doesn't it! It's a bit disconcerting when you are used to long cycles like I was (and yours was quite ling last month wasn't it?) But I wonder if all of the hormones surrounding the loss of preganancy kickstarted my ovaries into a normal cycle for once 🙈 not sure if that's a thing or not but maybe with PCOS there is some kind of link!
By the way I never said thanks for explaining what you did about your pcos.. it makes sense about the stress thing, high cortisol is so harmful! I still struggle with PCOS symptoms and despite being a normal weight i know my diet could definitely be better especially as I turn 30 at the end of the year! Can't always eat like a teenager can I! Time to make some better lifestyle choices..

MichT4 · 16/07/2020 21:47

@bxiiboo welcome and sorry for your loss and also the pain you are in now. Never had that before but I hope the antibiotics help and you get some answers soon

Oh god @SmileyT that would drive me mad! Mainly the not eating after looking forward to a nice meal, but the conversation topics would have irritated me too! I hope you’ve eaten something now? xx

MichT4 · 16/07/2020 21:49

@1990EM yeah last cycle was looking to be 41 days, I thought the previous at 38 was long enough.
I’ve no idea what’s happening this month. Could be an attempt, could be the real thing, could be nothing. Would be nice if it was some regularity back I must say. And even nicer if it turned out lucky!
How are you today? PCOS is so complicated, much more so than I realised. Looking forward to finding out if I did manage to improve it xx

Bellabubble · 16/07/2020 21:51

Sorry - I had a quiet eve yesterday, went to dog training this eve and have missed so much!!

@VP91x af turned up today 🙄 4 days of spotting, which I never used to have before the mc - it’s soooo frustrating! On to the 6th cycle now - made oh take the week off in my fertile week as I think he is so stressed woth work that it isn’t helping (he has gotten busier during lockdown!)

@MrsK21@MichT4 please don’t despair about age (I’m 36) I know many people who have had babies older than me, and most of my friends have had babies in the last 18mths that are my age. I do think that I have taken longer to “recover” post mc - as I’m currently on cd1 of cycle 6, but just wanted to give you some words of encouragement.

@micht4 i have my fingers crossed for some positive opks soon for you - I think there must be something in the fact that hospitals only investigate after 3 mcs - hold on to that hope - I’m sending you lots of positive vibes xx

Northernsoul90 · 16/07/2020 22:00

So Sorry for your loss @bxiiboo I haven't experienced it myself no I hope you get it sorted soon xxx

VP91x · 16/07/2020 22:07

Hey @bxiiboo 🥰 sorry for your loss and you're still having new pains. I would definitely push for the scan as you nebrr know what's going on especially if it is causing the spotting. Give them another ring xx

@SmileyT god, that sounds like the worst evening, no wonder you were irritated. I hope you've eaten now and are relaxed. ❤️

@Bellabubble ah crap, I'm sorry AF turned up. The spotting is annoying, have you ever mentioned it to your GP? (Sorry if you've said before). I've had it too post-MC, I wonder why it happens. That will be nice, at least you can do nice things/be relaxed and DTD will come as part of it and cover you for FW. How was the dog training? Xx
