@MichT4 I feel like I can see something on the tests too. I hope you have a lovely holiday. Xx

@Pugprincess I hope everything is ok I'm sure it will be. Xx

VP91x · 14/08/2020 10:42

@Happyvibes as @chloedancer897 don't focus too much on the CBD lines they don't read like a normal OPK would, go by the smilies. I would hold off DTD until you get a flashy, just so you aren't tired by the time peak comes around!

@chloedancer897 hope you are okay today! Also that the AVA is useful for you 😊xx

@DBTJ Yh I’m expecting not to get anywhere. I don’t fancy the gp examination either cause it will probably make me bleed more and cause more worry. I might just have to wait this one out for a bit.

Hopefully if I get the 3+ on cb in a few days that will be a positive sign. Plus we can only hope the brown stops too. I’ve been for two pees since and nothing more yet. I’m resting today on sofa. Tv day. Bro in law is here to change boiler cause our old one decided to stop working last week and it’s really old so figured time for a new one x

One of my friends had a mc first preg and went on to have 3 children but all 3 she has had early bleeding for weeks and weeks at the beginning and was constantly back and forth to the epau. So there’s always hope.

fafi · 14/08/2020 10:43

Hey @michT4 don't forget it takes 2-3 days for HCG to double so I expected it to still be very very light but I can see something! Hopefully you'll see something stronger tomorrow or wait until Sunday if you can.xx

HappyVibes · 14/08/2020 10:52

@VP91x thank you lovely. That’s what I’m conscious of - of course I want to DTD as much as poss in fertile window to widen our opportunity. But at the same time I don’t want to be doing it for too long because of the pressure. Thank you again lovely xxx

chloedancer897 · 14/08/2020 11:21

@HappyVibes stick to SMEP (although that can be tiring too!) so no rush to DTD until you get that static smiley ! 😊😊😊

@Pugprincess I'm so sorry you're going through this. From what I can see, it's all very light and not fresh bleeding so that in itself is reassuring. Hopefully blood tests will give you some answers. Have you taken a test?

Can't wait for my AVA now. Like a kid at Christmas! Although I know I keep buying everything in the hope that something will work, now I know I have treatment in the pipeline anyway so I feel like at least I'm moving forward.

Pugprincess · 14/08/2020 11:42

Thank you @chloedancer897 yes I did one this morn and I’m happy I’m where I should be. New symptom today too peeing every hour more or less.

Pugprincess · 14/08/2020 11:43

@chloedancer897 Yh I know what you mean about buying things I was like that with my diet and supplements. I think it helps you to know you are trying new things, gives a new hope x

chloedancer897 · 14/08/2020 11:45

@Pugprincess fab! You're progressing which is a brilliant sign and also a good sign that your HcG is rising! That's brill xx

HappyVibes · 14/08/2020 12:04

@Pugprincess this is AMAZING! Hopefully this has reassured you a lot, and brought your excitement up again? Xx

Pugprincess · 14/08/2020 12:11

Ahhh no I really daren’t get excited at all 😅 seriously if I let my brain get excited I will be devastated if it goes wrong. Il be devastated anyway but I just don’t think I can go there at all after my first and only experience. I got really excited that time, but I didn’t know any different. DH is buying me a pack of two tests today so I can check again Sunday and maybe a few days later as I would be happier to see 3+ then after this discharge.

Docs have booked me an app (got a text) they aren’t answering phones now I think they are on lunch. Will try again after 1pm. I think I want to cancel it as I don’t want to be prodded and fingers and speculum at this point as it might make things worse even if there is nothing wrong and then I’m going to panic more. Hard with it being a Friday though cause I will have to wait until Monday. But I really don’t feel comfortable being messed with in that way right now. Think I’m going to have rest, keep my eye on it and play the waiting game on this one. I will keep you guys updated. Hopefully my experience will turn into a happy ending so if any of you guys get this we know a bit more. I know some of you have had bits though too. I’m happy I’m peeing more though, just been again that’s 3 now with no discharge yet. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Pugprincess · 14/08/2020 12:29

Appointment is cancelled. I think I should just rest and hopefully it will settle down and is normal like you guys say. Epau clearly aren’t interested for the doctor to book me in cause that was plan b. Nice to know I have epau support isn’t it, I know I’m not 6 weeks but why’s my baby only worth saving from that point? What if I’m somebody who needs pessaries straight away after a positive test. Really feel like they don’t care and after how they treated me during my mc I’m not looking forward to seeing them again to be honest. X

Northernsoul90 · 14/08/2020 12:42

@Pugprincess I think you've made the right decision, I wouldn't feel comfortable having an internal exam like that so early on unless absolutely necessary. Everything else looks really positive - you have symptoms and tests are progressing so try to relax over the weekend and hopefully the spotting will subside 🙏🏼. It is only very light as well which is good. I know the EPAU doesn't treat really early pregnancy as viable which just seems so cold as we all know how it feels to experience a loss - no matter how how early it's still our baby. Treat yourself to some nice food and get your feet up xx

Northernsoul90 · 14/08/2020 12:45

@Hayley19835 Yes I agree! No pressure on dtd until you get the flashies 🤣. The cb sticks aren't supposed to be interpreted apparently but I think one of the ladies on here has previously worked out that the line on the right is Oestrogen and the one on the left is LH so when that gets darker too you will probably start getting smileys. I'm not sure if this is an exact science though so try not to get hung up on the lines on the cb and just go with what the screen says xx

Northernsoul90 · 14/08/2020 12:46

@Hayley19835 Sorry bloody phone tagged the wrong person! 🤣

This was meant for @HappyVibes 🤦🏽‍♀️

MichT4 · 14/08/2020 12:52

Thanks @HE88 @fafi. I have two tests so realistically I'll end up doing tomorrow and Sunday but if I can wait I will.

@Pugprincess sounds like you are making a good decision to me. Do what feels right but don't be fobbed off. I agree that when it's early they dismiss you so quickly and it's not really fair. Persevere if you're worried. I'm sure everything is ok though.

We have just arrived and waiting for my sister to arrive. The view from our decking is glorious - see pic but ignore some randomers car 😂

I'll have to find non alcoholic prosecco to enjoy here for the next few days, or maybe (hopefully) week xx

HappyVibes · 14/08/2020 12:53

Thanks @Northernsoul90 I have never even looked at the sticks before today in CB, always just trusted them and gone with the smileys. I don’t know why I’m looking so hard this month ha. I think it’s because I just have that feeling that this month is our month, and I just want to make sure we are all set ha.

Thank you lovely. How are you getting on? Xxx

HopeForRainbowbaby · 14/08/2020 12:56

Hallo ladies ! We were surprised yesterday.... i was 12 dpo and with two previous pregnancies this year ending in Mc, I saw lines on tests by 11 dpo latest. So ladies do not give up hope as I have just learned about our bfp on 12dpo. So I took cheepy test on 12dpo in the morning and it looked negative, many hours later I looked at it again and the line was visible. Wohooooo also on 10 dpo I thought I could see something but I had to angle the test right way and put light on my mobile ... so I convinced myself those are just line eyes😂 and to my surprise yesterday night, there was a line. I was already giving up and eating what I feel like( like pink meat....)..... I took CB 6 days early directly and it came positive within the time. I have taken several tests in the meantime. All coming positive but cheapies are very light. Anyways we have got BFP❤️ I'm pregnant 😍 hopefully all goes well. I will take day by day. 13 dpo today/ 4 weeks pregnancy

HappyVibes · 14/08/2020 12:57

@MichT4 that looks beautiful! Did you say you’ve gone south? It’s lovely here today (Lancashire) just sat out on my lunch soaking it up.

I am so invested in your journey, I can’t wait to see your progression. I’m confident that you’ve got the BFP. Think of it like this - all the tests you’ve done, with different samples, different makes and all have had a faint line. That’s no coincidence surely?

Did you end up sharing with your OH the situation? Xxx

HappyVibes · 14/08/2020 12:59

@HopeForRainbowbaby yayyyyy yipeeeee! I love that you’ve shared this - thank you so much. Congratulations on your absolutely amazing news!!! You’re pregnant & going to be a mummy.

Please can you share your journey with us again lovely? Xxxx

Lollol86 · 14/08/2020 13:01

@Pugprincess you have definitely made the right decision. Now try to rest x

@MichT4 ohhh I love a caravan holiday, have the best time.

@HopeForRainbowbaby omg amazing news, congratulations. I'm 12dpo today too so we will be due the same time 🤞🏻 xx

Lollol86 · 14/08/2020 13:01

@HopeForRainbowbaby sorry just seen you are 13 dpo so a days difference xx

MichT4 · 14/08/2020 13:07

@HopeForRainbowbaby huge congratulations hun! Are you getting nice clear lines? (Asking for a friend 😂😂). Wishing you a healthy 9 months xx

@HappyVibes no we have come from south to waaay north in the Lake District. Weather is just gorgeous, though I expect it won't last.

I know, I do think I've seen lines on too many tests now, I don't think it's coincidence, I'm just concerned now it won't progress and that could mean a 3rd MC! We will see, fingers and toes crossed ay!? xx

MichT4 · 14/08/2020 13:08

@HappyVibes yes I did. He could see the lines too but we are both remaining calm about it. We have no expectations and will just wait and see. Definitely not getting ahead of ourselves xx

Northernsoul90 · 14/08/2020 13:12

@MichT4 That's looks so lovely! I really hope you have to stay on the alcohol free all week 🤞🏼🤞🏼enjoy your break xxx

@HappyVibes Im good thank you I'm on cd9 today so going to start opks tomorrow which is earlier than normal for me but I don't want to miss anything as this will be my first proper cycle since mc. I'm still getting some light brown spotting when I wipe which is strange as af ended a couple of days ago. Other than that nothing to report! Xx

@HopeForRainbowbaby Congratulations!! 🌈💖 such lovely news xx
