JULY SMEP - Let’s go!

[Blessedmummytobe]

Starting this thread after an early loss in May. I’m trying to conceive again asap as I feel ready. Would be lovely to have others join for mutual support x

Maybe you have a fighter and maybe progesterone could help

Equally - hcg can stay in body for 1 - 9 weeks after

Could go either way

Take good care

Thank you @worldwidetravel2017 x

The EPU rang me this morning saying I have been referred by the GP, have asked me to go in for a scan next week.

Still haven't heard back from the blood test yesterday but hopefully have some answers by next week what is going on

Thats a horrible potential wait - dya live in a city - a & e did hcg bloods 4 me on a sunday - they shouldn't keep you hanging

They sound hopeful by offering you a scan

My scan was cancelled due to hcg levels

Sending all the luck

Dya have pregnancy symptons - heavy boobs - nausea - basel temp up ?

@worldwidetravel2017 yes live in a city, I have a private scan this evening anyway so am not too concerned about waiting until Tuesday. They offered me Monday but I have work commitments annoyingly!

Symptom wise I just have mild aching in my lower back and pelvis, heavy boobs with slightly sore nipples (sorry tmi) and frequent heartburn hah! But whether any of it is related, who knows!

Heavy boobs and sore nips are positive signs

You had bleeding when you were away didnt you?
..
4 me abdomen pain & virginal bleeding were not good

But you may be lucky.

Something like 75 percent of early pregnancies with virginal bleeding are okay

@worldwidetravel2017 yes so had a few hours of red spotting 2 weeks ago, and then a few days after that I had about 1.5/2 days of normal period bleeding which just stopped but I had cramps with that.

Since then I have had the tiniest bit of light pink when wiping but nothing other than that!

I have done more pregnancy tests and still positive but still faint - have attached a pic of the one this morning.

They haven't been changing in terms of getting lighter/ darker so who knows what's going on!

I should add this this, when I had the bleeding 2 weeks ago I did do tests which were EXTREMELY faint, the tests are actually way darker now.

But still, my last period was over 6 weeks ago so you'd imagine they'd be dye stealers by now!

Sorry @Blessedmummytobe 😖😖

@rosecbrm I’ve got everything crossed for you. I hope your scan goes well tonight 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Sorry I haven't been keeping up much with the thread.. so sorry AF arrived @Blessedmummytobe , fingers crossed the next cycle is successful for you xx

Thank you @FoodFann , if I'm honest I'm fairly certain this isn't a viable pregnancy, I'm just really hoping it is isn't an ectopic. Will keep you updated x

@rosecbrm im so sorry your going through this. I have my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻please keep us updates

Thank you @ttcthoughts I will do!

Hope your pregnancy is going well! X

Fingers crossed for you this evening @rosecbrm

I echo this

@Belle89 @worldwidetravel2017 thanks both xx

I had my private scan earlier which didn't reveal a gestational sack, however it did pick up something on my ovary which they aren't sure whether it is a cyst, but didn't want to rule out ectopic pregnancy and told me to contact the epu incase.

The sonographer said it may just be too early to detect pregnancy yet and booked me in for another scan in 3 weeks..

I rang the epu and they have got me booked in for a review tomorrow with more bloods and an internal scan. Said it could be a corpus lutum??? Cyst which apparently every women gets when the ovary releases an egg and sticks around during early pregnancy..

99% sure my positive pregnancy tests are from a miscarriage or ectopic. Hopefully have some answers tomorrow 🤞🏼x

I had a transvaginal scan this year which showed corpus luteum ..

Thinking of you tomorrow

Hope they can give answers - gotta be careful re eptopic

If u get any top of shoulder pain - go and be seen immediately

Just an update -

I had some more blood tests done today in which the hcg levels have slightly dropped compared to my blood test on Thursday, indicating a loss. But they are low enough that they aren't worried about an ectopic etc.

Have got to have bloods repeated Friday to confirm! Thanks all for your well wishes etc xxx

So sorry to hear
Take time 4 you

@rosecbrm hope you took time for you today

Lots of love @rosecbrm ❤️ Hope you are doing ok. x

@rosecbrm Hope you are ok lovely <3 xxcx

@worldwidetravel2017 @ttcthoughts @HopeAndChocolate thank you all so much!

I'm feeling ok, just one of those things that unfortunately happens to a lot of women!

Hope everyone else is okay? How are those who are pregnant getting along?!

And those currently in the full swing of SMEP, or TWW - hope you're ok too!!

Weve started trying again
Not overly sure what my body is doing right now but flo app and cheap ovulation sticks say ovulation is incoming

Sending luck to all

@rosecbrm Im glad you are ok, Sending you lots of love.

Doing ok, Have a scan tomorrow, which im very very nervous about after the last one, Hopefully it will be good news for us, I'm not overly holding my breath though, x

Fingers & toes crossed
