@MrsF111 frer smu with a 4 hour hold worked for me first before Clearblue got it. X

H0peing · 27/07/2021 10:54

@MrsF111 Thanks! Xx

SLCxxx · 27/07/2021 20:15

@MrsF111 I’m sure I can see a faint shadow line!

@ELM7 OMG congratulations 🎉 ❤️

Guys my period still isn't here properly. Bit of light brown when I wipe that's all, awful cramps. Tests all BFN. To be honest this is what my period was like at the start of July just a bit of brown for 2 days and nothing else. This is even worse than AF in full flow because I feel like there's something wrong with me.

H0peing · 28/07/2021 19:47

@PeanuttyButter which tests did you use and what time? Maybe they're false negatives? Maybe test again in a couple of days if there's still no AF in full flow? Do you think it's worth calling your doctor for advice? Sending love Xx

ELM7 · 28/07/2021 20:16

Thank you ladies. Still not really letting myself believe it but did at least tell my Husband this morning.

@Annny27 nothing different this month to other months really. Didn’t go crazy with DTD lots in FW which actually the other 2 times we’ve got the BFP was after either only DTD once or twice so that seems to work better for us than every other day.

PeanuttyButter · 29/07/2021 07:33

@H0peing I called the ward that I was on post ERPC and they wanted to see me if I hadn't had a bleed by next week. Woke up this morning to a full AF painful and lots of cramps but I'm not going to complain I'm sooo glad it's here because I feel like I can move on now. Phew.

Thank you all for all your support it's been a really difficult few months and I'm grateful for you all and this group x

Miscarriage39 · 29/07/2021 08:41

Congratulations ELM7. I have everything crossed for you that this is your sticky bean.

So good to hear that you are getting your early scan without a fight H0peing.

Sorry the witch got you PeanuttyButter, but we’ll done for putting an optimistic spin on it.

I have the phone consolidation with my GP tomorrow, where I’ll get the result from the blood tests that were requested 7 weeks ago and taken over three weeks ago. Given that we have lost another pregnancy in the meantime, it’s going to be a horrible call. No idea who it’s even with. Both locus I have been under since my initial miscarriage have left, so this will be another doctor I’ve never had contact with.

We also spoke to a fertility clinic yesterday. They have said I need to wait for a period and contact them, so they can do all the tests at the right stage of my cycle. Not 100% about going through with it, but we’ll see.

Miscarriage39 · 29/07/2021 08:42

*consultation! I suspect the only think it’ll consolidate is my knowledge that our surgery is useless!

MrsF111 · 29/07/2021 09:42

Tested again this morning and it’s negative, just don’t know what’s going on, I used ovulation strips and got a positive 2 weeks ago, had what I though was spotting 7dpo to 10dpo and still a bfn. I just feel so exhausted and defeated by the whole thing. I’m running out of time to be pregnant and have the baby before my wedding next summer. Just feel so incredibly miserable

Babyghirl · 29/07/2021 10:22

Well cd3 for me and period tampering of so nearly time to get on with the dtd again lol.

kiwi17 · 29/07/2021 14:27

@MrsF111 that's all super frustrating for you- I have been spotting for about 6 days pre af each month since the mc and messed up cycles are so frustrating.

@Miscarriage39 I'm so sorry your surgery are so useless :( it's mega annoying that you've had to wait so long for your results and like you say to now be under a 3rd doctor who doesn't know you or your situation. Fertility clinic sounds positive- how are you feeling about going that route?

CD24 here and nothing to report!

PeanuttyButter · 29/07/2021 17:09

That's so annoying @MrsF111 hope you get an answer soon so you're not in limbo. Do you really not want to be pregnant at your wedding?

@miscarriage39 you would think that there should be some consistency when it's such a sensitive topic.

@babyghirl back to horse riding then haha

Found out my cousin is pregnant today. Due 17 days after I was due. So that's 3 close friends/family that have announced since I misscarried. Feeling like a punch bag to be honest. DH thinks my sadness about it all is unnecessary. Glad I have you guys who understands.

Babyghirl · 29/07/2021 17:20

@PeanuttyButter
Men 😠😠😠😠😠 they just don't understand you have every right to be upset it hits me when I hear them to, I wish sometimes we could take the batteries out off r men and just put them bck in when we need them 😂😂😂😂😂, yep bck to horse riding again gs I should be a pro at it nw and only ever been on one in my life 😂😂😂😂😂😂 the best female jokie going lol. Xx

H0peing · 29/07/2021 17:41

@Babyghirl I hope you enjoy your horse back riding lol🤣🤣xxxx

H0peing · 29/07/2021 17:43

@MrsF111 I really hope you get some good news soon. Xx

H0peing · 29/07/2021 17:46

@miscarriage39 I hope the consultation is helpful. Let us know how it goes. Xx

H0peing · 29/07/2021 17:50

@PeanuttyButter Sorry AF came but it's good that you can move on and hopefully the next cycle will be the one! Xx

Babyghirl · 29/07/2021 17:53

@HOpeing
After a few days I'm like can I get of this fucking horse yet 😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh nope the lessons aren't over yet llf xx

H0peing · 29/07/2021 17:57

@ELM7 Glad you told your husband!Smile Have you had any help from a GP yet? I hope that you can enjoy the whole 9 months as much as possible. Xx

H0peing · 29/07/2021 17:59

@babyghirl🤣🤣 You are so funny! Xx

MrsF111 · 29/07/2021 18:29

@PeanuttyButter I think if I was heavily pregnant I would just go ahead with a smaller wedding, we originally postponed our wedding in 2020 and decided to try for a baby instead, so to get to our second postponed date 2 years later without a baby is just really weighing on my mind and making me feel so down! Sorry your DH doesn’t get it, it’s just such an incredibly shit situation for us all to be in, feeling like a punch bag is a good analogy.

@H0peing thank you 😘

kiwi17 · 29/07/2021 20:32

So another friend announced their pregnancy yesterday due in March and my first thought is 'wow imagine feeling that confident to announce now' but secondly how is it so easy for some people and so hard for all of us?! 😟

MrsF111 · 29/07/2021 21:48

This thread is so amazing, I’m so sorry we have all found ourselves here but also so grateful to all you ladies I’ve never met 🤣🤣 so good to have somewhere to vent, and to have people who just get it

PeanuttyButter · 29/07/2021 23:56

@MrsF111 yea I feel so alone in real life, glad I have all you guys for company here.

In other news my bleeding has stopped. I really don't know what is going on but I've literally spent the night sobbing. I feel broken.
