Latest thread for ttc after miscarriage ✨🌈

@Skl2021 can't you get your blood tested? It's the only way to have an accurate result. My OB-GYN laughs about progression lines in pregnancy tests and says it's just not reliable, otherwise they would make them that way.
Did you try a digital one yet? Maybe it helps you to see it black on white.

@Bundaberg84 i don't know if GPs even do that is it even that common? 🤔 No I'm scared to do one incase it's not pregnant or doesnt increase in weeks indicator x

@calimc83 I only have one frer left now will save it for the morning. I have taken cheapies in the day and don't think it made a difference. X

@PamelaDoov I'm not quite sure I don't use the clearblue ones 🙈 maybe go with your body? Can they go from flashing to not flashing? X

@arianasky sooooo slow! Keep telling myself I'm further along than I thought..so u count peak OPK as ovulation day or day after? Xx

@Skl2021 yes, they should. You test all 48h to see if the hcg level doubles.
There's no way you're not pregnant. It has the potential to put your mind at ease, as testing daily with not accurate line progression is way to stressful for one's mind, especially after suffering MC.

Ah I know it's dragging so much @calimc83 well I had a peak clearblue on Monday so counted Tuesday as 1DPO not sure if that's right but I just do it that way and hope for the best haha you?

@Bundaberg84 yes I just feel it's going to end up a chemical as my cheap tests are hardly showing. IV never had this much anxiety before. I knew it would be hard if I got pregnant again but this is a different level! I think I'm never going to believe it until your actually holding a baby! Xx

I’m so sorry you feel like this @Skl2021 I wish there was something I could say to ease your anxiety. I genuinely think the best thing you can do is try and distract yourself to give your mind a break from the worry. This is a completely different pregnancy, your FRER lines look great and AF hasn’t arrived

@Skl2021 I totally understand you, but I think you will be feel better once you were able to talk to a GP.

@BlueForYou3 it's a shame what miscarriage does to your body and head. This should be the happiest time and instead I'm choosing to think I'm not pregnant and constantly worrying or checking for af! Don't know how women go through this multiple times! Yes I just need to breathe for a few days 😩 but it's easier said than done! I think if my tests got super dark I would be a tiny bit more at ease. Feel like there going to fade at any moment! I feel so bad for bringing this group down 😩 xx

@Bundaberg84 I might try them on Monday see if I can get through the weekend 💕 thankyou xx

@arianasky oh my peak was Monday as well. So might count Tuesday as day 1 then! That makes me 4DPO 😆😆 x

@Skl2021 I'm sure I've heard of GP's taking bloods to get HCG levels tested? Depends how helpful your GP is as well I guess 😬...hope u are ok, yep maybe distraction is the way forward if at all possible. Have u much planned for the weekend? X

@calimc83 I didn't think it was done in the UK 🙈 I know they do it for like ivf or like maybe epu? My GP is useless so I don't expect to get anywhere 🤦 I have work tomorrow so I can't look at my phone then 🤣🙈 no Google hole for me! Sunday not alot but guess I need to get out and plan something 🙄 u got anything planned! X

I don't know where you live, and you might have to get private, but it's def. possible. This one is private though: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/4457188-For-those-who-have-had-BFP-s-when-and-how-many-times-did-you-DTD-in-your-FW-window?msgid=114347275#114347275

sorry, wrong link. Not my day. www.blood.london/test/beta-hcg-quantitative/

Hi @Skl2021, sorry I didn't mean to worry you with my earlier message! I wasn't insinuating ectopic when I said have a scan to make sure everything's in the right place! I meant it in terms of getting an early scan where you probably can't see much but it will give you peace of mind to see a little blob there :) Ectopic wasn't even in my mind when I wrote that! So sorry xx

AF has arrived with a vengeance today. Currently curled up with a hot water bottle 😩 I've ordered some Vitex to try and increase my progesterone/lengthen my lp - anyone tried it? X

@calimc83 I rang my gp in the beginning of the month as soon as I got my positive and asked for bloods, they made an appointment for me for three days later but on that day I started bleeding and had a CP so didn't go to the appointment, but they definitely will do bloods for you if you explain you've had a previous loss and it's making you very anxious

@calimc83 ooh interesting to see how we both do, fingers crossed for us both 🌈🙏🏻

@Skl2021 at least work will keep u occupied! Nothing much..DH is working all weekend. I don't work Fridays, Took the little ones to a place called Tropical world today, tomorrow my eldest has dancing and then we have a party Sunday. Nothing exciting 😆😆 x

@arianasky I know, everything crossed. Don't know whether to invest in some Frers..😬 or if it's a bad idea?! X

@calimc83 I have some here left over from last cycle I'd like to say I'd wait until AF is due but I know I'll cave by 9/10dpo 🙈 xx

@Cruz86 sorry to hear that AF has arrived. Hope u are ok? How longs your LP? I was panicking about mine but my consultant friend ( fertility specialist) told me to relax and advised hormones can mess with them a bit after MC xx

@Bundaberg84 I'm north west had a quick look but don't think there's any near me! Might see the doctors on Monday if I can get an appointment if I'm still feeling like this 💕 xx

@Cruz86 haha it's ok IV Googled nearly everything anyway 🙈 yes I might last time I had one at 8 weeks but don't know if I can wait that long if all goes to plan! I'm sorry af got you 😩 but glad your not in limbo anymore! And your already thinking positive for next cycle planning ahead 🙌✨ xx

@arianasky was that comment meant for me? 🙊 If so I might contact them on Monday but mine are useless 🤦 so I'm not expecting alot! Can I ask how your chemical went? Did your tests get dark? Yes I'm scared to admit I'm pregnant incase something goes wrong I just have a really bad gut feeling. X

@calimc83 that sounds different! My boys do football on a Saturday but I always miss it cos of work 🤦 bet you can't wait for a children's party 🎉 hahah hell!! Xx

I'm not feeling too bad apart from the physical side @calimc83, thank you. The spotting starts at 5dpo and af officially arrives around 9/10dpo but this cycle was 11! The early spotting is a sign that progesterone isn't as high as it should be, so just trying to do what I can while I wait for my gynae referral! This has been going on since before my mc too :(

Oh I bet you have @Skl2021 😩 the next couple of cycles are going to be focussed on sorting my hormones/cycles out, so no opks!! It will be hard though x
