Too scared to get excited

Got a early positive 5dt and I cant seem to let myself get excited as previous ones ended in miscarriage or didn’t work . I feel numb about it and I just can’t feel positive about cause I’m just thinking what if .. I really wanna be positive and happy but I’m just so scared it’s gonna happen again. I probably shouldn’t of tested so early but I feel like if I watch the lines it might help as no symptoms. Sorry for the rant

@readingismycardio thank you it’s not an easy journey x

I know... Flowers I went through a very traumatising MMC myself. It steals all the joy...

Waitwaitwait22 · 19/08/2023 13:53

@readingismycardio yeah I’ve had one of them also so makes it hard when doing it all over again x

Just so you know @Waitwaitwait22 easy @ home tests aren't as sensitive as frer.

Frer are something like 6.5 and easy @ home are a 10miu, so it's possible your hcg has doubled.

If you're checking early pregnancy line progression, you should use the same tests, so just stick with the easy at home ones and see if it's darker in 2 days.

Waitwaitwait22 · 19/08/2023 14:06

@XenaTheWarriorPrincess yeah I’m waiting on my frer to arrive they haven’t come on time and none in local shops so hopefully they’ll arrive tonight or toMoro to test again and il keep going with the easy at home ones to

Please don't compare tests. When so had IVF I tested with internet cheapies and frers. The internet cheapies took many days to darken!! It was unreal. I'll try and find the photos so you can see the difference.

Happyface82 · 19/08/2023 14:16

I haven't got them any more. I deleted them as they were so faint!! When at the same time my frer was super obvious.

Waitwaitwait22 · 19/08/2023 14:28

@Happyface82 ano i thought couldn’t be much different as been 48hrs between 5dp and today but il need to wait for my frer to arrive and test again and il know for sure then x

Sorry couldn’t reply on the app for some reason. How are you doing today @Waitwaitwait22? Only had a few cramps tbh, any other symptoms are related to all the hormone tablets and injections I’m doing

Waitwaitwait22 · 20/08/2023 14:57

@Waitwaitwait22 you need to wait 2-3 days between tests. Hcg doubles roughly every 48-72 hours. So, tomorrow's should be at darker than yesterday's.

Even if it isn't, doesn't always mean anything, especially with the IC, as you can more or less dilute wee.

I tested positive yesterday with a faint line so I've not tested today and will test again tomorrow

russiandwarf · 20/08/2023 17:23

Not sure how helpful it is but I’ll try and attach my day 5, 6 and 7 tests. I also found that my morning tests are not as dark as afternoon!
keeping everything crossed for you 🤞

Happyface82 · 20/08/2023 18:06

I think that’s amazing progression!! 🥰

Waitwaitwait22 · 20/08/2023 18:53

@Infertilitylife do u think? I can’t help but think it should be darker no? I think I’m probably very nervous to let myself get excited so I’m being negative to save heartache again .

russiandwarf · 20/08/2023 18:53

Looks like good progress to me!

Waitwaitwait22 · 20/08/2023 18:56
