Only 6DPO and I feel like I’m going crazy! Anyone else with me?

[Jordie24]

Hi everyone so I got my peak on 23rd January and I think I ovulated on 24th.. I’m now 6DPO ovulation. I tested this morning and obviously I couldn’t see anything, but I’m already planning how to tell my partner and looking at baby clothes.. what is wrong with me! Anybody else? And the wait is dragging too!x

@oannic mine have mostly gone away too and that was my strongest symptom, I’m 5+4 today. From what I’ve read symptoms come and go so don’t worry. Sometimes I feel so tired it’s like I’ve been drugged but other times I feel fine. It’s such a long road to 12 weeks!!! 😫

Try not to worry (I know easier said than done and I am too lol) I haven't had any boob pain or tenderness this time, just much bigger boobs 🤷🏼‍♀️

I peed on an OPK lastnight just for something to do 😂 didn't want to waste any more good tests. Going to buy the digital CB tests though and do one this week and one end of next week as feel like it's so long before I get to see the Midwife or have a scan!!

Thank you, girls! I feel already better.

I also hate this wait! Especially now with the lockdown.. is not like we can do anything to take our mind off a bit.

@Stardust89 that doesn't really sound like an ectopic. I wouldn't worry.

I also feel tired-ish.. yesterday evening I was really destroyed. Today, considering the weather I guess I am normal. I am happy that tomorrow I go again to see how high is my hcg level, if it doubled then I can relax.

I'm still bleeding. I've taken tow more tests both still show faint lines but my hope of them getting stronger hasn't come to pass. Silly really as I know there's no hope.
I had called the early pregnancy care team who had told me to do another test but I am surprised HCG llis still high enough to show on a test because I originally tested at like 7dpo to get the positive and then 9dp started bleeding and that was like five days ago or something so I'd have thought it would have come down quickly hmmm

@Horehound, the bleeding didn't stop at all these days? is it like a period? According to an article on healthline, the test can remain positive up a few weeks after mc :(

I had another light bleed this morning after 2 days of nothing. Im really starting to get fed up and wish if it was a MC that it would just come on faster or with pain at least so I know for sure what it is. My tests are still getting darker and have such bad nausea today

@oannic I'd say lighter last two days. Also Alot if the times it wouldn't actually be on a pad but more when I wiped there was like a blob of blood on the tissue.

But yeh I fully expect it to be a chemical pregnancy anyway but weird the test isn't any lighter than the others I don't think. But also not darker...

Early pregnancy called me back and said I can go in tomorrow where they will do a scan and take my blood then likely take more blood two days after that.

@Horehound I’m so sorry to hear that, but glad you’re getting a scan tomorrow. Let us know how it goes xx

Hey @willow2021 sorry to hear you had another bleed. How far along are you? Any chance you could have a scan? Xx

@Cafeaulait27 i think I am 5 weeks today. Its really annoying as the spotting/light bleed happens in the mornings and then nothing all day or night. They advised scans to be only done minimum 6 weeks other than that there will just be an empty sac which isn't any reassurance to me other than its not an ectopic which to be honest I don't think it is, as I have no pain. And my pregnancy sticks line are still getting darker and pretty much take over the control line now. This has been the longest few days of my life. If this little poppy seed stays strong and stays put ill be sure to let them know all the worry they put their parents through...

@willow2021 strong positives on a test is a good sign. Is it red blood? It may be due to something else. Are you able to get your hcg checked with a blood test at all? I’m sorry but I can’t remember if you’ve had previous losses? I’m so sorry you’re going through this but please don’t lose hope yet. Are you taking anything like aspirin or progesterone any other drugs to help with the pregnancy?

I know it’s so hard with not knowing what’s going on in there xxx

No previous losses this was our first time trying and first time pregnant and really not going to how I imagined it would be. Its really a tough one. I keep being realistic in that its gone on for a few mornings now but then I feel guilty about giving up hope if there is something still hanging on. This is so much worse than the 2ww I think they wait till I cant get a scan and see a heartbeat. Its not so much red.. more pink light bleeds nowhere near my periods and it comes out when I push (bowl movement) then might have tiny bit spotting for an hour after then the cycle repeats in the morning. So emotional draining

Im not taking anything as I havnt had any previous losses.. should I?

@willow2021 I think if your line is getting darker it is really a positive sign :) wishing you luck x

Oh @willow2021 I am so sorry to hear that. On the other hand I just saw my dr today (cause my hubby has a stupid allergy) and told her I am pregnant and she asked if i am bleeding and I said no but told her I have cramps and she said light cramps and light spotting is normal but if the cramps are bad to go to the hospital. I don't think this is a MC

@Horehound, let us know how tomorrow goes. xx

@willow2021 if it’s mostly when you push out a pop (lol) or after sex and it’s mainly pink I’d say that sounds promising. Basically your cervix softens up when you get pregnant and things like that irritate it. I get a bit of pink discharge after sex. So I think if your line is getting darker then just wait and see what happens with the bleeding.

I’m taking aspirin but have had 2 losses, it wasn’t prescribed but can be helpful to help blood flow get to the baby as it thins it. But if you’ve no previous losses you’re probably fine without xxx

@Cafeaulait27 i hope your right. I havnt had any bleeding today just very small tinges of brown in my CM but hoping that a sign of the end of it please. I rang my doctor today to get blood test for hcg but she reccomend I wait it out a few more days unless I was getting cramps or heavy bleeding to go to the hospital. She said if light bleed continues into next week then she will put me on an early scan for next Monday. She said its a positive sign I keep getting strong positives on my tests still.
I read online that getting a 3+ on the clearblue digital is a really good sign at 5weeks (im 5 weeks today) so I went and bought one and got 5 weeks. So figures crossed this all works out ok

That's good @willow2021

I'm back from epu. As expected nothing there on scan. They will call me with hcg results. She said she expects it to be higher than 25 if I'm still getting positives but if it's still low ISH number they will just ask me to do a pregnancy test in a week rather than going back for more blood. Fair enough. Can't wait to try again.

Just got the call. She said HCG is less than 1 which basically means there's no HCG in me and that if I did a pregnancy to test today it would show negative...but the thing is I DID to an clearblue ultra early test and I can see a faint line.
So now I wonder if clearblue tests do leave evap lines?

Aw sorry to hear that @Horehound sending hugs and positive vibes for your next try. I did a clearblue 8dpo and didn't get a hint of a line, so not sure why yours would show one.

@willow2021 fingers crossed for you 🤞

@horehound so sorry to hear this 💔 sending love to you. Xx

That's very weird @Horehound but good that you verified the hcg. Are you still bleeding now? Maybe it would be best to talk with your Dr. about this. Maybe he'll suggest some testing. How are you feeling?

@willow2021 that's a good sign of course. When did you do the test? I took one now and it says 2-3 weeks. Of course my pee is diluted as I drank water the whole day. And last week my hcg level was at 307 and the Dr said the baby has 2 weeks (which is right). I am curious how much they raised until now. I should get tomorrow the result.

Thanks all.

@oannic Its pretty much nothing now. And very very minimal last two days.
I am certain the lines I got on previous tests were positives though and even the one today but I knew they will keep decreasing to nothing. I'm just so surprised it was like

@oannic i did it at mid day but I'm 5 weeks today so it should have shown up today. The last time I did one of the digital weeks one was 9 days ago and was 2-3 weeks but I think there's meant to be a big shift to get to the 3+ so if I would wait till your 5 weeks mark.

@Horehound sorry to hear that positive vibes for next month
