Anyone want to join? I'm going insane!! I'm not sure whether it's because it will be our last chance to have a baby in 2024 or that this is our 5th cycle so if AF comes it then marks half a year of trying, but I'm struggling this cycle. Need distraction! Lol

Oooo how confusing for you @Plumchumm glad they are going to do bloods. The line has most definitely got darker. With my chemical once I started bleeding a line was barely visible and then a week after it was completely negative.

Could it be to hook effect that’s making it faint sometimes? Although I’m not sure why it would only do it occasionally? Maybe try testing with a sample. Then water down the same sample and test again and see if it changes the darkness x

@ToeBeans24 i saw the clinic today and they did my bloods. Came back 68, they said that is quite low and sounds like an ectopic as they tend to steadily rise slowly and especially since I’ve been bleeding for almost 3 weeks.

she then kept me there to do an ultrasound which is where they found something in my left tube. I then saw a doctor who explained it seems like an ectopic and that I should go to the hospital as they’ve referred me.

im on my way there now with my partner. She said I’ll get bloods done there again and they’ll do it again in 48 hours, maybe more scans, so they can determine if it’s going to resolve itself or if I need that injection/surgery or whatever to remove it.

i knew something was wrong, I’m glad I’ve checked and they found something. The crazy thing is they didn’t even initially find anything on scan, it was only because I told the nurse my uterus is tilted that she asked me to press down on my tummy with my hand and then she was able to see the tube properly. They were all so nice and caring though, just want it resolved now, don’t even wanna wait. I’m done with bleeding xx

Plumchumm · 13/05/2024 10:23

What an ordeal lol xx

sirensong · 13/05/2024 11:47

@Plumchumm This really has been a prolonged ordeal, I'm so sorry you're still dealing with it. I'm glad this set of clinicians were really nice. Fingers crossed that it self resolves.

Cherry85 · 13/05/2024 12:24

Oh @Plumchumm that is horrible for you. Glad you are getting some answers now.

I'm still symptom spotting and driving myself mad. Was so convinced last month only for it to BFN. But this month had spotting around implantation time, sore boobs and now what seems like the pregnancy rhinitis i had with DS....but could be a cold. Still BFN at 10dpo 🙈

ToeBeans24 · 13/05/2024 14:45

Oh my goodness @Plumchumm you have been through the mill! Thank goodness you were persistent in getting answers and continued to test otherwise it could’ve gone very differently. Thinking of you xx

Ontheflipside_ · 13/05/2024 16:05

Um...so after all the news last week....

Amazing, congratulations.

Cherry85 · 13/05/2024 16:16

Woohoo!!! How many days dpo?xx

ToeBeans24 · 13/05/2024 16:55

Omg @Ontheflipside_ huge congrats !!!!!

Ontheflipside_ · 13/05/2024 17:00

Thanks ladies! I'm actually 2 days late so (13 or 14dpo?) I took a test at 10dpo and it was stark negative so I was convinced I was out.

I've spoke to receptionist at GP and asked for progesterone tablets so she's speaking to them and calling me back ASAP x

sirensong · 13/05/2024 17:37

@Ontheflipside_ what was your progesterone level btw? I think mine is also low. It's great that it didn't affect implantation.

@Ontheflipside_ what was your progesterone level btw? I think mine is also low. It's great that it didn't affect implantation.

Hmmm I'm sure it was 0.4 but it was taken in follicular so it was actually a normal reading but the fact my lining was still only 7 in luteal means they wanted to retest x

Hey ladies,
hope you’re all well- had to take a little time out from mumsnet.
firstly, so sorry about your news @Plumchumm - I hope your okay, well as okay as you can be❤️‍🩹
@Ontheflipside_ congratulations!! Amazing news- nice to hear a success story as I have a thin lining and believe I had low progesterone levels (Got to wait 4-6 weeks for an appointment 🤦🏻‍♀️ for a blood test)

Cherry85 · 14/05/2024 13:26

Oh FFS! Just realised the little dip strips I was using aren't early detection - they are 25 units per litre - not 10 🤣🙈

Louki35 · 15/05/2024 12:39

Hi ladies, I also took a little time out due to my gran passing.
Hope everyone’s well and holding on to any bean babies or hopes for you all!

turns out we dtd three times around ovulation and once on the day by share mistake, the only reason I checked this is because I’m now 9dpo today and couldn’t stop crying this morning…….woukd this be normal this early?
xx

sirensong · 15/05/2024 13:01

@Louki35 I've felt really low the last few days, in that hormonal way a few days before menstruation. I'm taking that to mean I'm out because otherwise progesterone wouldn't be falling (which triggers the blues) and oesteogen would be rising. However I've also seen that people can also feel down before a BFP so who knows!

Louki35 · 15/05/2024 13:08

@sirensong yeah when I was pregnant with my first the week before I got a BFP I cried at a few random things…..I’ll keep you posted xx anyone got a BFP at 9dpo

ToeBeans24 · 15/05/2024 15:53

I was down before bfp and thought I was out ! Don’t give up hope ladies 🤗 x

ToeBeans24 · 15/05/2024 15:54

I think a few people do @Louki35 but I never have. Well, this time I wasn’t sure on dates but pretty sure it would’ve likely been after 12dpo

Louki35 · 15/05/2024 17:24

what do yous make of this? 🤔 9dpo 🫧☺️🤍

3dpo
Louki35 · 15/05/2024 17:25

So I have done another….like 1min ago, what do yous think?🤔

Louki35 · 15/05/2024 17:28

i have slept today since 1:30pm, I had to sleep yesterday too, I was crying yesterday about not eating enough veg and feeling frumpy when I was at my mums last night, then this morning I was crying leaving my partner to go to work lol liiiiike WOW calm down 😂🤦🏽‍♀️

Cherry85 · 15/05/2024 19:47

I feel like I see something but not confident enought to say yes...maybe do another tomorrow.

I feel like I am losing the plot again - 11dpo and did a test this morning (negative) despite strong cramps and spotting last night and assumed period starting - now nauseous but I feel ill at the moment like I have a bad cold so maybe just that.
