Update on me - there is no update 😂 CD20, not even a sniff of a positive OPK and no temp rise. Will have bloods done in the next couple of days. Gynae appt on 16th Sept is the plan xx

@MichT4 I can definitely see something, I bet your head is all over the place 😭😭

@MichT4 how confusing for you. I could see something on your sainsburys test but I can’t on the others if I am honest with you. I hope you have an amazing holiday though you seem to have a positive attitude. The line will progress if there is a bean and what a lovely surprise that will be.Where are you going on holiday?

@Pugprincess I hope the EPU help you today. You must be so worried but I know many Can bleed in early pregnancy. Maybe bubbas nestling in and getting extra comfy for his stay? I am so glad you put that picture up. I think I am about 5 weeks and convinced I have about 5 beans in there by my size. I will attach pic x

Still there when I just went for a no2. I feel ok in myself but I really don’t like this xx

Hey ladies, quick check in as just stopped for maccys breakfast 😋

I am confused, but can only wait and see. There was a line this morning, though I know it's hard if impossible to see. I just don't know if I think it's something or not. Will find out in due course 😂

@SmileyT yeah I told him. He can see the lines on them too, but just goes on what I say about how dark they should be. We are just remaining open to either result

@BEESY90 we are off to the Lake District. Think we have 3 hours to go 😳😳 xx

@Pugprincess its definetly not red so that is reassuring and so light. I think sex can trigger bleeding in pregnancy if the cervix is knocked due to all the blood flowing there? And definitely a positive you aren’t in any pain. I would think more implantation x

@BEESY90 Yh that’s all I can hope for. We haven’t had sex in a week cause scared to. I had a little light brown early on last time but not this much. It did go away and then a couple of weeks later returned but darker. And never stopped x

Another thought I had was maybe because I didn’t have an AF before this one maybe there’s more old stuff to be knocked away during implantation? Grasping at straws

I’m waiting on a call back from gp x

@MichT4 I can see a v faint line. It's so confusing isn't it! You seem to have a really positive attitude though and the Lake District is gorgeous! Try to relax and enjoy 💖 what will you do repeat tests for a couple of days to see if there is any progression? Xx

@Pugprincess Maybe it's just residual bits of old blood coming out as your uterus is expanding... you caught before you had af didn't you? So it could be that. I understand you being worried though and it's crap that EPU won't do anything. Have you contacted your GP? Xx

@Pugprincess Just seen your two comments above mine and that was my thought as well about no af in between. I hope your GP is more helpful 🤞🏼 xx

Thank you @Northernsoul90, reassuring to know you was thinking the same. I’ve just had to go 💩 again cause nerves dammit. Was softer due to nerves but no discharge this time. Obviously if I do get discharge I want to see it back clear. I will let you guys know what gp says. I still have this going private option too.

I’m not going to tell gp I rang epau. See if they offer too. They might take a doc more serious. Il also mention I can’t guarantee I’m this early cause it can’t be dated I could be further along (I don’t think I am by much) x

@MichT4 so glad to see that line this morning even though it is faint I can definitely see it. Pleeease keep us updated!

@Pugprincess hope you're ok, I know that sinking feeling you get when you see brown :-( but i hope the fact that it hasn't progressed to anything darker by now is a good sign. My MC started off with dark brown too but within a few hours was red and you've just had light brown for a day or two, hope you get reassurance today!!

@Pugprincess please try not to worry - the discharge hasn't got heavier from the looks of your pics. When I had my MC ,I had light brown watery discharge but it progressed quite quickly in amount and darkness. Yours is still really light so I think it's old blood working its way out slowly.
Only thing about bloods to ask if you get them done is that they need to be done 48 hrs apart, 2 sets. So they can compare levels and check progression

@MichT4 I can see a line! It's so faint but definitely there. Hopefully you have taken a test or two from your collection to check on Sat/Sun. Enjoy the Lake District though, it'll be so nice to relax and unwind after this rollercoaster!

@VP91x omg we bought similar, light grey fabric sofas - what noobs we are! haha

@scrambledeggy those tiny OPKs might help our line eyes / test deciphering vision?

Gp just rang. Told her I have some light stabby shooting pains going up and down my left side (I ovulated from the other side-right side-well that’s where my ov pains were and I know my last preg came from left so made sense that it was right side this time) so she’s worrying about ectopic and is calling epau herself now and then calling me back. Be good if I can get a scan just to see what’s happening right now. Not sure what epau will say and if it would be today or not. Gp wanted to come down surgery for an examination today but gave me the epau option too so I requested that but maybe if they refused to see me she would say come in and il have a check. Involves speculum, fingers and prodding tho 😩 I also emphasised that I don’t know how far along I am. I think it’s bad I didn’t get another scan after mc to check things were ok!

I do have the pains by the way but I think it’s the lightening crotch stabby normal pains you get. I’m not particularly worried about that. Just the discharge x

@Pugprincess at least your doctor is listening, I'm honestly praying that everything is ok xx

Morning ladies,

So, I took my CBD and got a blank circle again. The stick says this - i wondered what you expert ladies would suggest re: DTD? Would you suggest DTD every other day now or just hold out and wait for the smiley faces to show before we start to DTD?

Thank you all in advance xx

@HappyVibes I had that and got my smiley faces only days later so keep testing and every other dtd for now xx

@MichT4 I see it! Have a great trip away and keep testing. Fingers crossed for you. When is AF due? Maybe wait again until it's late and the line will be darker?

@Pugprincess they may not scan you if you're under 6 weeks because they won't see anything but I hope you get some answers. Brown staining like that is quite normal as the girls said, especially after a bowel movement. I have everything crossed for you that it's all normal. It's so awful because you think when you get the two lines that you're all good but the first trimester for us all will be so stressful x

@HappyVibes OPKs always have 2 lines so don't read into the test when you take it out. Go by the result on the display x

@chloedancer897 Yh you are probably right about scan. Hopefully it is just normal and I will look back on this and go phew! So hard though. I would much rather it was straight forward x

@chloedancer897 @MrsK21 @Lollol86 @MrsK21 @1990EM thank you. And anyone else I missed. I'm keeping my hopes up but prepared for anything. I have bought 2 more tests so might do one tomorrow or hold on til Sunday.

I have really warm CM. I keep thinking it's AF (it could be) but I still just have loads of CM. Just feels really fiery 😂

Anyway, a couple more hours to go. I'll try and keep up this week but might be a bit more intermittent

@Pugprincess I'm glad you are getting a call back. I hope they can offer you some reassurance.

I hope everyone is good today xx

Oh @chloedancer897 AF is due today or tomorrow. But that's based on an ovulation date that I'd assume would show darker by now. Not really sure this cycle, but I think any day now. I feel crampy and a bit sick but as always, could be either xx

Thanks @Pugprincess & @chloedancer897 that’s really helpful of you both. So no pressure to DTD just yet before the faces?

I wish I could be as helpful for you too. I read through all the comments and my goodness I wish I could help and advise you but I really am unsure on this side of things I’m afraid as mine was MMC.

I did experience some bleeding mid first trimester & I can only think back in hindsight that this must have been my indicator. I did ring EPU at the time but they said that nothing was worrying for them unless it was bright red & clot sizes bigger than a 50p.

So the fact that yours is not bright red, nor is it clot sizes, I would gather that this is just old tissue clearing itself out and making sure you have a fully cleansed and flush womb for your healthy strong baby.

I really appreciate that this must be a worry and uneasy time for you but you are doing everything you absolutely can.

Xxx

@Pugprincess I wouldnt bother with a scan as all they would say is your early and to come back in two weeks as they cannot see anything. They might take bloods which is in my opinion better when it comes to really early pregnancy. Your only other option if you are really worried is to go through the a & e route.
