Just popping on to say: ARGHHHHHHH. That is all 🤣🤣

Oh I found you all 🎉 I was sitting on the other thread and wondering why it had all gone a little quiet.

Sorry to hear about the losses - it really is difficult after all the hoping and waiting 😢

CD8 today and waiting for fertile window in a few days time... I thought the ttw was long but waiting for fertile window is just boring 😂 At least in the ttw I can symptom spot!
Going to try the method this Month and dtd 3rd, 7th, 11th (suspected ovu day) & 14th to cover all bases.

Is anyone at the same cycle stage?

arianasky · 04/01/2022 09:15

@CJB92 oh no! I hope it's not ectopic! My FRER wasn't it was faint but my clearblue was makes no sense? It's all such a mindgame

CJB92 · 04/01/2022 09:19

@arianasky nothing is ever straight forward is it! Have you tried other brands, was it cb digi?
My tests that are 20 and 25miu are bfp but the more sensitive ones are bfn. Doesnt make sense does it!

Tell me about it!

Sending love to all those whose bean might not be sticking. We are told the battle is won when we see that second pink line, but of course it is only just the beginning. I have my fingers crossed for a good outcome for you all. Daffodil

@CJB92 oh sorry it's clearblue digital, no exactly my FRER is lighter but my clearblue is a little darker? My GP has booked me in for bloods on Thursday with results Friday and she said if the bloods come back high they'll scan me then, but Thursday seems like ages away, I guess if I bleed before then I'm out and I'll just test again tomorrow morning 😞

CJB92 · 04/01/2022 09:52

GP refused to do anything. She said my bloods on 30th were below 1 hcg. So conclusive I'm not pregnant. I said I understand that but why am I getting positive tests and yesterday was strongest I had . She said she doesnt know but I'm not pregnant because bloods say so. I said well I'm in alot of pain with my back too and don't understand how hpt can be positive if I'm not...and she said she will test my urine for UTI because of back pain. That's it!! Getting so frustrated!

Purple29 · 04/01/2022 10:35

@CJB92 that's terrible. GPs can be terrible sometimes. Have you called the epu? They are midwives and can be a bit more helpful? My Dr was surprised I wasn't getting anything other than very minor back pain on one side when he discovered the ectopic. I'm sure it's not that but surely the gp is wrong not to check?

Purple29 · 04/01/2022 10:37

@Shabz22 sperms can regenerate in less than an hour I think. The way the dr told me to do, was that it gave enough time for them to mature a bit but not get too old. I'm sure you won't have messed it up, any swimmers in the right place is a chance. Like I said the method isn't a guarantee but it just worked for us.

CJB92 · 04/01/2022 10:39

@Purple29 I told her could it be ectopic and she said no as my bloods on 30th were below 1 hcg, when I was bleeding badly and had a vvf line hut yesterday I had a strong line on 2 tests but she said the bloods are negative so it's not pregnancy or ectopic. She's usually so good.

I haven't even gone to the epu yet, I had a scan booked for 10th Jan, which as far as I'm aware is still booked as Dr booked it. They didn't say anything about canceling it when I said it was booked. I dont know if they will just dismiss me because of the bloods too. Tests today are far far lighter almost bfn, but yesterday's were so strong. Its so confusing.

Gotta let gp to do the stupid urine dip for infection, and hope tomorrow if test goes back to negative I can move on

CJB92 · 04/01/2022 10:39

Why when I only stopped bleeding yesterday would I get an almost positive opk today

arianasky · 04/01/2022 11:00

@CJB92 oh my gosh that's awful of the GP! Surely they should double check for you to be on the safe side? Apparently OPK's come up as positive when you're pregnant also I don't
Use OPK's myself but it's what I've heard people say...

CJB92 · 04/01/2022 11:03

@arianasky well thats the thing, why would I get almost positive opk when I only stopped bleeding yesterday and yesterday got bfp! Even if I'm not pregnant anymore and was a chemical, why am I going from bfp, bfp, bfn, bfp, back to almost bfn if the bloods are negative. Unless lab made a mistake.

@chailatte28 new thread x

ttcbabya · 04/01/2022 11:11

@CJB92 what a whirlwind of emotions that you must going through! Disappointing that your GP is not being of any more help. Times like this it's the limbo that's the dreadful part and less so then BFN, if it is. I hope you're still able to go to the scan on the 10th and it works out for you!

@arianasky I hope your little bean sticks and that you're reassured of this with bloods on Thursday! Sending love and luck to you!

arianasky · 04/01/2022 11:12

@ttcbabya thank you I really hope so 🙏🏻 @CJB92 oh my gosh yes never though of the lab making a mistake! I hope not for your sake I have everything crossed for you

arianasky · 04/01/2022 11:14

I have this weird feeling around my belly button like a pulling like achy muscles pulling feeling? Has anyone else had this I have no idea what it is?

CJB92 · 04/01/2022 11:22

@ttcbabya Thank you, I'm just so sad I've not got any clue what is going on with my body. I feel like my GP thinks I'm nuts. Last time I went to her she didn't even log that I had a chemical/early miscarriage. I took her all my positive tests and she did a pregnancy test and it said negative and my bloods were low back then and she said well you weren't pregnant but yes those tests are positive. Talk about two opposite points in one sentence! She must think I'm just crazy.
@arianasky I've heard that's a good sign of pregnancy! Fx for you! Yeah lab mistakes can happen but rare. I just want to get a blood test to see and if its negative then I'll have to admit that all 5 brands are wrong, and god knows what I'll test for pregnancy in the future 😂

Brunette1989 · 04/01/2022 11:24

Morning all, I got so confused with the threads as there was 2 going 🤣
I'm due AF on the 8th and holding out testing till then as I don't want the disappointment.
I've had lower back pain but I think that's more to do with the yoga the OH thought would be a great idea. Not feeling positive as the time I got BFP before I had very sore nipples to touch and all the poking is not giving me the same this time round..
Sending lots of baby dust to any of you who may be testing today xx

arianasky · 04/01/2022 11:31

@CJB92 she sounds quite rude tbh, my GP said to me this morning even if there's a faint line you're pregnant but obviously it doesn't mean it's going to be all ok. I can't believe after showing her tests she said that to you. She sounds quite insensitive? I hope you're ok 💕

arianasky · 04/01/2022 11:33

@CJB92 also my GP asked what tests I used and I told her the 4 different ones and she laughed her head off and said well there's no way it can be a false positive if it's shown up on four different brands 😂 so hopefully that gives you some hope 💕💕

ChaiLatte28 · 04/01/2022 11:33

@ttcbabya thank you! Xx

CJB92 · 04/01/2022 11:39

@arianasky thanks so much, been feeling really rubbish since I spoke to her! If she doesn't log it as pregnancy or loss I'll be so annoyed, I'm going to keep an eye on my record for it. Even if I'm not now, I definitely was at some point with the days of bfp and the amount of time I have. I dont even know if she's going to call me back today, if she does I'm going to pressure for bloods and mention if I can still go to the scan if I carry on with bfps x

arianasky · 04/01/2022 11:43

@CJB92 absolutely she should note it down! Yes I would really push for bloods if you can because it's really strange you keep testing positive and I don't see why you shouldn't go to the scan if you are getting BFP's 💕

ttcbabya · 04/01/2022 12:19

I tested this morning, 4HH as I went for a wee at around 5AM & BFN. I'm not surprised as only BD once in my FW and have had no symptoms so feel like it would have been a miracle anyway.
This cycle is 30 days for me, and today is CD 29/ 13DPO so slightly early. I don't think I will test again this cycle, will just wait for AF and try again next cycle even though I'll be going away right when I'm expecting to O! So not too confident that Feb will be my month either.

I had a day 21 bloods done and my GP confirmed ovulation was occuring because my levels were 29.8 however I never have EWCM. I wonder if that's why it's not happening for me?

Even though I'm out for this cycle, best of luck to you ladies. Really hope to see more BFPs
