Anyone want to keep each other company ?

I'm 3dpo and it feels like forever already!

I would be so scared too with the bleeding especially after your MC like you say, hope it’s nothing too serious for you hun. Sending you a big hug! Your test today definitely looks positive, congratulations! Fingers crossed it’s a sticky bean, can you speak to a Dr ASAP about the bleeding?

The EPAU said to come straight back if I fell pregnant again so they can monitor. But I think I'm going to leave it until after Christmas and just monitor myself. The 3 scans and 6 blood tests and mentioning of Ectopics and Molars are still raw in my head. As my HCG was rising slowly and the bleeding hadn't started they were also suggesting surgery with cameras to check the tubes Sad I believed I was emotionally ready to try again, but you can't predict your fear when you fall pregnant again 😰

@Hannabanana2021 sorry to hear you’re bleeding. It’s awful and you don’t know what to think when it happens.

Hannabanana2021 · 16/12/2021 18:48

I am going to test again tomorrow and hope the lines darker. But I'm not feeling hopeful. Will post the results here x

Geemmm · 16/12/2021 21:44

@Hannabanana2021 sorry to hear u are bleeding - the fear is unmatched. Fingers crossed for u in the morning and let us know how u get on! X

Hannabanana2021 · 17/12/2021 05:26

Haven't been able to sleep well.
So I've taken the test only 12 hours apart exactly. Top test was yesterday (5pm) and bottom one this morning (5am) Can't see much difference but it's still positive. I know I'm going to drive myself crazy with this 🤯 11dpo

Forgot to mention still spotting this morning. Nothing in underwear only pink blood when I wipe
SGChome20 · 17/12/2021 06:42

@Hannabanana2021 of it’s just spotting and you’re that early dpo it could be implantation bleeding. I know the hope can be a bit paralysing. I would definitely consider even just ringing EPAU for a chat and see what they think. I have to everything crossed that you have a good outcome.

SGChome20 · 17/12/2021 07:19

I’ve just gotten a bfp on a strip test. It’s very faint though which is making me concerned that it might end in another chemical. I would expect it to be much darker at 15dpo. I’m not overly confident about it but holding on to hope that this is a sticky bean!

Bubblegum093 · 17/12/2021 07:36

Aw I’m chuffed for you @Hannabanana2021 - fingers crossed it stays positive! I would definitely consider getting some advice too like the ladies have said with your history and it may give you some reassurance ☺️

Omgggg another bfp @SGChome20 congrats!!! Hope it’s not a chemical 😘 fingers crossed it’s a sticky bean for you too x

SGChome20 · 17/12/2021 10:33

@Bubblegum093 thank you! I am delighted but being cautiously optimistic. I’m just going to try and put it out of my head and try to enjoy xmas. I might do another test in a week or so just to see if line is getting darker and hope that in between now and then I get no symptoms of MC.

HelloPippa · 17/12/2021 10:40

@SGChome20 !!! This is such amazing news, everything crossed that it sticks.

Hannabanana2021 · 17/12/2021 10:42

Took these just to see the words. Ones nagar I've though, the positive is the ultra early

Ones negative. I typed that in a rush
ladycarlotta · 17/12/2021 12:36

ooh tentative congrats @hannahbanana2021, that is exciting. I know it's such a mindfuck trying again after MC but bleeding doesn't have to mean game over. Fingers crossed for you and for @SGChome20, sticky bean vibes all round!

Geemmm · 17/12/2021 20:58

@Hannabanana2021 I think that second frer is definitely darker which is a good sign! And the ultra early showing pregnant is brill ur gcc level might just not be that high atm. Congratulations!! Defo just get some advice from epu on spotting but fingers crossed all is ok for u!

And congrats @SGChome20 that's super news! Fingers crossed it's a sticky one for you both!

I'm out this month. AF turned up this morning. Naïvely thought because I fell the cycle after my first MC that it would be a given again this month - gutted. Keep ur fingers crossed I'll be joining you ladies next month 🤞🏻

SGChome20 · 18/12/2021 10:44

@Geemmm thank you. Sorry your AF has arrived, onto the next month! September is the most popular month for babies born because of xmas so hoping for wee xmas conceptions for everyone!!! 🎅🏻🎅🏻

SGChome20 · 19/12/2021 09:49

@Hannabanana2021 how are you getting on? I’ve started spotting today so I’m getting really worried. This is how it started last month for me. I’m hoping it’s just a bit of spotting but it’s such a worrying time.

Hiya, my clearblue weeks changed the day after it showed not pregnant. All my spotting stopped a couple of days ago. It had lasted 2 days in total. I'm sorry to hear you're spotting, I hope it's just some implantation bleeding for you. How's it been through the day? X

Also the EPAU said they will see me next week for blood tests and scan x

SGChome20 · 19/12/2021 20:29

Oh that’s great! So glad your spotting has stopped! My spotting started this morning and now I’m crampy and bleeding has gotten worse so unfortunately I think it’s another chemical for me.

HelloPippa · 19/12/2021 21:19

@SGChome20 if that does end up being the case then really sorry to hear. A drink this week at least.

Els2130 · 19/12/2021 21:36

Hi everybody. Hope this post is welcome here x
I just wanted to know if anybody had anything similar to this:
I started taking the pill (yas) again 8 days ago after a short break. And I am not religious with the time of day I take it but I do usually take them. However, I did miss 1 pill earlier this week and took it the next day when I remembered.
I have been continuing to do the deed as you are usually allowed to miss the 1 pill with yas. But today I have had the strangest cramping in my left ovary. And this evening some aching sensation in my uterus. I don't usually ovulate on the pill and I never have pain mid cycle so it just feels odd to me. I would so appreciate anyone's input on this. Many thanks xx

HelloPippa · 20/12/2021 09:06

Hi @Els2130. I think the chance of you being pregnant from missing one pill is extremely low - as you say, you are allowed to miss one within a set time frame. The cramps could be any number of very harmless things (pregnancy symptoms are usually similar to period symptoms) but if you still have them in a few days or just feel uneasy then I’d set your mind at ease and see the doc to confirm :)
