@Taysonicsorry for the uncertainty, whats the plan going forward after bloods? If an increase then rescan! Im surprised your hcg is only 150 as CB is meant to have a minimum 157 i think for the 2-3 weeks to show? Im sorry this just sucks so badly

@Rancor@EmilyF88@littlefox90congratulations!

Mummysparrow · 06/07/2025 10:17

How is everyone today? Weather is horrible here, just had thunder 😬
5dpo and I have just checked the position of my cervix (not sure why I did but why not I suppose) and it is high but when I pulled my finger out I had white discharge with no smell. So I am not sure if that is a good or bad sign 😑

Ec2808 · 06/07/2025 10:19

3dpo today who’s with me? 🤣 going to be a long week 🤣 so impatient 🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

Weeks Indicator is now showing 1-2 (tested on Friday, and again today). Strip tests have been bobbing up and down.

Whatever way you look at it, it's not looking good.

Bloods at 12noon today. Hopefully get the results this evening and see whether it indicates miscarriage is naturally happening (haven't had any major bleeding yet) or if they want to further test for ectopic.

hollyhocks2 · 06/07/2025 10:40

@EmPeEf yes, me! I'm CD10. l'm feeling guarded and cautious after such a weird 15 day cycle last time. I will test LH, BD every other day, and just see what happens. Hopefully I manage to fit in my day 21 bloods. If I'm really lucky I'll catch my peak and know when I've ovulated, but at this point just a normal cycle length will be a relief. So keeping my expectations low I guess. You've had quite unpredictable cycles lately too if I remember rightly?

@Taysonic I'm so sad about your updates. I've been reading and hoping and wishing for you. It's incredibly tough. The confusion and not knowing part is awful, and the dread. You're in my thoughts.

peanutForever · 06/07/2025 11:41

@Taysonicneither of those are good news 💔 so my heart really goes out to you lovely, hope that for the very least its not an ectopic and it resolves itself naturally and i am really praying for your rainbow baby very soon. Just feel really sad for you, its dreadful not knowing and waiting, how is your DP?

ChaE05 · 06/07/2025 12:08

@Taysonici really feel for you. I remember going in for my second scan just praying they will tell me I was going to have a natural miscarriage and not an ectopic. Imagine feeling relief know it's 'just' a natural miscarriage. I know what you are going through, it's heartbreaking. Sending you a great big hug xx

ChaE05 · 06/07/2025 12:16

@Mummysparrowafternoon! Miserable here too but no rain just yet!
I think high cervix could mean early pregnancy? And I know for me personally I get alot of extra CM when pregnant. So many this is a good sign for you x I'm pretty dry so sure I'm out at 8dpo

Had a few tears this morning- again 😅 Have arranged some blood tests for a week or so. I'm paying for some extra ones privately which includes AMH. OH has got standard blood tests booked in with GP. And is going to book semen analysis private tomorrow as we don't seem to be getting anywhere with the GP on that! Also thinking about vaginal microbiome test! Feel better knowing we are doing something. How you feeling? X

ForGiddyDreamer · 06/07/2025 12:41

@ChaE05 im sorry you're feeling so down. When do you expect AF to show up?

@Mummysparrow I tried checking mine last month but really don't think I did it correctly! I'm maybe 9dpo today with some white discharge when I check like you but I don't think that's abnormal for me at this stage. I wish your nose lit up or something to let us know pregnancy has happened. The waiting gets me 🙃

Mummysparrow · 06/07/2025 13:24

@ForGiddyDreameroh that would be the dream. None of this guess work 🤣 after over a year of TTC I am not expecting a miracle tbh
@ChaE05i have done private semen analysis and bloods. It just makes things quicker doesn't it. What I find hard is that you hope it doesn't show anything but at the same time you hope it does so it gives you a reason for not conceiving.
I really hope this is my month finally 🤞

Muddysocks1 · 06/07/2025 13:50

Does anyone else have one sided pain after ovulation? Seems more like ovulation pain/around the ovary. More of an ache than pain. Have had it the last few cycles - worried it might be some kind of blockage or issue since the first chemical I had, as I’m sure I didn’t use to get it!

rollup · 06/07/2025 14:21

Hello - tentatively joining. AF due tomorrow and I caved and took a test. Annoyingly got an error message on clear blue and only had a ovulation test in, which was positive… Shops all closed today but I’m wondering if this is good news…. Trying not to get my hopes up after a tragic MC earlier this year but I SO want a healthy baby #2.

ForGiddyDreamer · 06/07/2025 14:25

So I've been an absolute tit and went and tested at 9DPO, despite saying I wouldn't. DP was away out for an hour and I had a moment of weakness. Also stupidly used the CB tests that I swore off as I was keeping my FRER for Tuesday. It looked BFN and then DP arrived home and I threw it in the cupboard because I promised not to test early. I'm tidying up and it's clearly an evap isn't it 🙃 because it's outside the time.

I thought twice about asking in the group because I actually feel mortified to admit I tested and then to have this question. It's just the line is thicker than last months evap. Last months is the skinny incomplete line. Both attached for reference. Put me out of my misery 😭 I feel like such a dickhead.

Don’t want to read and run but haven’t ever used these so not really sure… looks pretty prominent though!

Muddysocks1 · 06/07/2025 15:11

I’m doing the monthly thing of googling what’s the latest you can get a BFP even though I know the answer!

Ec2808 · 06/07/2025 15:12

@ForGiddyDreamerthat doesnt look like an evap to me 🤣

Mummysparrow · 06/07/2025 15:15

@ForGiddyDreamerit looks like the evap line I had in May unfortunately

Mushroo · 06/07/2025 15:18

8dpo here and last time I had spotting, no spotting so taking that as a bad sign?!

Totally agree there should be an easier way to know without all the waiting! Going insane.

@ForGiddyDreamer it looks more promising than your previous evap I would say!

IHaveItPrintedOut · 06/07/2025 15:52

@FarAwayBirdthinking I might pop by the Co-op after my exercise class this evening and smuggle one in for tomorrow morning... they don't leave till Tuesday!

ForGiddyDreamer · 06/07/2025 16:01

Thanks everyone for replying. I'll proceed on the basis it's an evap and do a frer tomorrow morning. Much easier to give advice than take my own on here 🙈 it's just the line is thick, albeit faint, compared to evaps I've seen on these before.

@rollup I posted straight after you and didn't see your post. I realised I was pregnant in Feb because I had a static smiley on a CB ovulation test. I was out of preg tests and I read they can confuse the hormones. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

Ec2808 · 06/07/2025 16:12

@ForGiddyDreameri bet it’s not an evap you will see on frer tomorrow

ChaE05 · 06/07/2025 16:23

@ForGiddyDreamerthis honestly doesn't look like an evap! I always use CB and exactly how mine looked! I pray it's a baby 👶 😍 any symptoms?? Or still none. Oh I feel excited for you x

ForGiddyDreamer · 06/07/2025 16:30

I'm so scared of being bitterly disappointed @ChaE05 I might try and hold a wee and do one tonight if DP doesn't notice. I just don't want to say anything to him, get his hopes up and then it be nothing. I just feel wrecked and got a bit car sick earlier, but I feel like I could start imagining symptoms at this stage so wouldn't trust myself

ChaE05 · 06/07/2025 16:34

@ForGiddyDreamer if it was me I couldn't wait! I'd do another one! Probably a CB to compare same brand. I don't want to get your hopes up but it just doesn't look like an evap to me xx

Mummysparrow · 06/07/2025 16:37

@ForGiddyDreamer here is a picture of my evap line in may for a point of reference if it helps
