I've been for a scan today. No evidence of baby at 6 weeks. Pregnancy of unknown location. So being referred to the hospital.
They said it probably 1. Too early .

  1. Miscarriage if had bleeding -which I've not.
  2. Ectopic - more likely.
So now to wait for the hospital to ring me in the morning.

A bit sad, but I was expecting something to be wrong because of the tests going up and down , from 2-3 to 1-2, back up again.

No, oh I’m so, so sorry 😔 that’s incredibly unfair. Sending you lots of love and I hope whatever is going on is sorted out as quick as possible for you xx

I’m glad it went back up but I think ideally it needs to go higher than it was before the dip. So we’ll see what the next few days bring. Refuse to test for squinters. Period is due in 4 to 5 days.

ForGiddyDreamer · 22/07/2025 22:44

@ChaE05 great plan, especially if you're working around his nightshift. We likely won't fit tomorrow in as DP is going back to visit his dad in hospital. So we've just the 2 days in this cycle. I think I'm just going to have to be OK with it. Between his dad & the dog, there's been a lot this week. Only takes 1 wee sperm! I have definite ovulation pain this evening which tbh I haven't felt in months.

@Nightshift110 I'm so sorry to read your update. It's just absolutely shit, there's no other word for it.

hollyhocks2 · 22/07/2025 22:58

@Nightshift110 so many of us know that sad empty feeling, and we send you a tight hand hold. It's devastating 💔 look after yourself, and let other people look after you xx

Hope you all get your bfps . :)

I gave your post a heart just to show my support. Totally heartbroken for you and I really, really hope that your ideas surrounding your endo treatment could prove to be the answer. I hope it’s that simple for you xxx

FarAwayBird · 23/07/2025 01:53

@DorsetGirl89 I’m so sorry. It’s the cycle of hope and despair that’s really awful. TTC is so hard anyway - I can’t imagine the pressure of feeling like you need to resume treatment, too. Is the NHS able to offer you any extra fertility support/consultations considering your circumstances?

It’s so hard to know if supplements are helping or hindering. It’s a minefield.

Thinking of you @Nightshift110 - I’m sorry things are stressful right now. I hope you get some rest ahead of tomorrow x

@EmPeEf Yay! Glad your temp went back up. Maybe implantation? Keeping everything crossed for you!

Sending love to anyone else in limbo or facing disappointment this month ❤️

Im honestly unsure if ive even ovulated this cycle because why has my temp dipped to 36.1 this morning! I did only get about 4 hours sleep but can this make it dip so much? From 36.5 to 36.1 seems A little dramatic

I can see that line did they say they’d do bloods again within a few days?

Kerrylf · 23/07/2025 10:16

I'm just catching up on everything.

@Nightshift110 I am so sorry you are having to go through this. Please look after yourself through this. Sending lots of love and hugs to you and your partner right now.

@DorsetGirl89 This must be really messing with your head! But I would say from the tests, it looks positive so far and hopefully the docs will give you another blood test possibly?

AF is due for me today or tomorrow and the cramps are pretty intense, I've had no real symptoms that are different to usual PMS and I've had some restraint from testing since 9/10DPO and I feel better for it, just accepting whatever comes feels less heavy. Lets see if this carries on to my next cycle. I really wanted to be pregnant before my loss babies due date in September. I thought it would ease the pain a little. Still one more cycle left before that time though xx

Keeping everything crossed for you @DorsetGirl89!

I have a blazing LH test today so I guess we have a few more days of DTD. I know in SMEP there are days you’re supposed to skip… but I don’t really understand if it’s better to NOT do it everyday? It would take the pressure off a bit but I’m scared to miss it 🫣

I was actually told by my GP last week that doing it anymore than once every other day doesn't increase your chances as the sperm needs time to build up and be good again x

EmPeEf · 23/07/2025 18:14

Gonna count myself out I think.

Normally I temp at 3pm after my biggest sleep, but today it was only 3 hours long. Temp was high all night beforehand, over 37, then plummeted back under cover line to 36.4 after I woke up. Went back to sleep for another few hours and it’s gone back over 36.8. So the only time during a 12 hour period I choose to log it, it’s low. Typical. Would love to log a higher temp and feel positive but I shouldn’t break with the time I do it.

Sorry for the rant. Just thought that was one thing that was at least making sense for me each month.

Hey can I join please? TTC first baby, this is my 6 month actively trying with OPKs. Had a chemical month 2, nothing since! Period due 30th so I’m in the dreaded tww.

Another5am · 23/07/2025 18:41

Sorry to see the chemicals and the ectopic :( TTC is very unfair! Hope you’re all doing OK.

I’m not sure. I think a lot of people with messed up sleep don’t bother, but I was getting readable results. Guess I’m just disappointed. AF is due Saturday. Wasn’t going to test till then but my partner and I did a couple. Think we got another shitty evap. Do they glow after inverted though?
