OK, so how about we start of on a positive....

I bought the test.

I did the test.

BFP .

Job done.

hey ladies
just a quickie to say to GG loads of luck for testing and i will be here to hold your hand whatever the outcome
hope everyone else is ok
xx ei xx

Woke up thinking about you, GG. Lots and lots of luck & positive vibes for you today. Like EI says, we'll be here for you whatever happens. XX

Ok - it's a BFP

Two pink lines - one a bit fainter, but still absolutely there

BUT - I am bleeding very heavily and have had terrible cramps yesterday and all night. I can't believe this is some light spotting or an implantation bleed. It's bright red and lots of it

God, I am really confused and upset. Is this the worst of all results?! I have to call the hospital and give them the result - positive? - then I have a scan in two weeks to see whether I am still preganant - the 4WW. I am a mess already nevermind another 2 weeks of this. Looking at the blood, it doesn't feel very likely I am absolutely terrified.

I am so upset (again). BFN means what it says. Now I have a BFP and I am

in limbo. Got myself in a tizz before pressing send.

I phoned the hospital and they've called me in for a blood test this morning, to be repeated again later in the week to see if HSG levels go up. I absolutely sh*tting myself . I can't believe a little bean would survive this!

GG Not really sure what to say but wanted to give you (((hugs)))
I really hope that the blood tests are good news for you x
Could you be bleeding due to the fact that both beans implanted but only one is a sticky? Dont want to get your hopes up but have read alot of cases of women bleeding and cramping and still having a succesful pregnancy.
Will be thinking of you these next few days x

Gg I know this must be the worst result for you but hold on to those 2 lines until you have the blood test results from the hospital. There are many reasons why you could be bleeding and not all of them negative. What time is your appt at the hospital?

You poor thing, it really is an absolute rollercoaster. I wish I had wiser words for you but I am thinking of you and will be all day.

Take care xx

GG Hang on in there - it's not over yet. What RFN2 says is absolutely true, it could be that one didn't make it, but one did. Please hold on to the fact that you have a BFP. We're with you all the way. Lots of love to you. XX

Back later.

morning all
GG WOW!! what a confusing result for you i second what RFN2+3 says that it may be it was 2 now it is 1! you wouldnt get a BFP otherwise IMO! i really hope the blood test gives you a better idea and the bleeding stops sharpish!! IIRC mibbes had alot of bleeding with her preg with evan as did DG so all may not be lost good luck when did the hospital say you would get your results? will it be today? {{{{{{{higs}}}}}}}}
my hand for one is here for the holding if you need it and i will be around most of the day to help keep you sane
xx ei xx

oh GG big {{{hugs}}} for you on what must be such a horribly confusing day. What time are you heading into the hospital? Hang on in there, we're all here for you.
Lots of love to you
Caitni xx

thank you everyone for being so lovely to me .

I went to the hospital at 8am (thank goodness I live close by!) and they did the blood test. They will phone with the results this afternoon. The resuit will probably confirm pregnancy, because the hormones that gave me the 2 pink lines will still be circulating to give me a blood test BFP.

After that, it's another blood test in a few days time to see if the hormone levels are dropping. If the hormone levels have fallen = early miscarriage, scan and possible D&C [urgh emoticon]. If they are not falling = still pregnant, scan, check for ectopic (why?) and go from there.

I spoke to the doctor who was the man who did my embryo transfer . He was very kind, but fairly gloomy at the possibility that tis was a viable pregnancy. He said i was probably having an early miscarriage and while it was possible to have bleeds and still be pregnant, he didn't want me to get my hopes up. Severe cramping (tick), heavy bleeding (tick), clots (tick) don't add up to good news, despite the BFP. It feels worse than a period and I am not very hopeful.

I really have been a selfish person on this thread recently. I am so sorry - we are all going through a hard time at the moment and not posted enough. Thanks for all your kind words. i am in work, but just to tidy a few things up and then I am going home

GG try not to focus too much on what the consultant said as he has to put the less enthusiastic view on the table. i will be your enthusiastic touchstone if you like and i will get my pompoms out and do a cheer for your bean(s) with some special swishy moves for extra stickiness i will be on pins all day waiting for your news so good luck!!
xx ei xx

ei - you have made me smile . I have visions of you with your pom poms out and dancing around shouting "Give us a G, give us another G"

I have heard fantastic stories of ladies who have had severe bleeds and still having successful pregnancies, so i know there is always hope and there is the lost twin possibility too. I'll try and be positive but I can't get my hopes up too high after all this.

If any of you ladies are in London and want two tickets for the Donmar Warehouse tonightto see "Be Near Me" (good reviews and the run is sold out) you are very welcome to my tickets for gratis. Can't face going and sitting there cramping all evening.

GG thats the spirit i hope you are holding up and are keeping nice and relaxed on your couch is your DH still away? i hope you are ok
xx ei xx

GG any news yet??
xx ei xx

thinking of you GG

was lovely to see you and the others last week. sorry I've been so slow to post on here, but have been lurking.

ei's right, I did have a bleed right at the start of my PG. I had three mornings of severe implantation cramps just before I tested. But the blood didn't come out till a week later...and then trickled out for three weeks, red, brown, 'bits', little clots (accompanied by cramps and backache that kept me up all night). You might remember that I thought I was MC'ing and I was on holiday at the time, so all I could do was wait till I got back for the next scan.

I know my story doesn't help take the worry away, but you will get through this. Do everything possible tonight to relax and distract yourself. Watch a movie, take painkillers, eat chocolate cake.

Will continue to lurk...

cheers ei - The hospital has just called and said "Your pregnancy blood test is positive". Erm, yes, I kinda thought it would be. My HSG reading was 65, but the nurse said he expected I would have a reading of approx 50 for my dates, so he said my result was strongly positive and asked how long I had been bleeding for, which is quite good news but also quite confusing. He seemed surprised that i had been bleeding since yesterday lunchime. I have to get another blood test on Monday - a falling result means a rising HSG blood test result would be good news and they'll give me a scan. Falling result means very early miscarriage. Feel a little more positive now, but still really scared [terrified emoticon] and given the emotional mess I have been over the last 2WW, I will be a quivvering jelly soon! My poor DH and poor you ladies too, having to listen to me panic and put up with my see-saw moods

DG it's great to hear from you and lovely to see you last week and meet your gorgeous DS I was thinking about your posts fromtwo years ago when you were on holiday and can really relate to the worry you felt then. There can't be anything more scary when you've got a BFP .I hope it all turns out for me too. I think bleeding has slowed a little, it's hard to tell.

I am completely distracted today. I got on the tube going the WRONG way to come home. I've only been doing that journey, every day, for the last three years I'm home now and tucked up on the couch with a hot water bottle and feel a bit better. The cramps are quite bad, but How Clean Is Your House is quite distracting for now

GG we spoke so I haven't posted, although I am lurking. The HSG reading does sound positive and the twin idea is interesting. I guess you just have to wait for Monday! That seems so far away though, surely on Thursday they would know if it was going up on not, that's 2 days away? I'm thinking of you and if the burglars hadn't stole my jewellery box I would have whipped out my rosary for the occassion. Surely hearing from me would shock God into action as he rarely gets a shout of from me these days! I may have to get jealous afterall if things get better . Higs.

CD24 here, so I should know my fate by the weekend. Nothing unusual to report though so not hopeful. I did eat the biggest lunch known to man today which is causing me to feel like a beached whale, but last time I checked that was not a symptom.

GG that is good news about the blood test so I'm keeping my fingers (and eyes and feet!) crossed for Monday. I hope the bleeding stops soon and I'm glad that you're tucked up on the couch watching daytime telly. This is going to be an agonising wait {{{hugs}}}

Waves to DG Ei and everyone else (Ei am loving the pom poms - here's to all the cheering we can do for GG's little bean(s) )

hi Bucky , I x posts with you.

Evening all, am stuck in Bournemouth doing a 'photshoot' (I use the term loosely as it is me doing the photoing and I am a true amateur!)...

GG I'm seconding what others say about the blood test and waiting until Monday. They should, as a matter of routine, do one every 2 days. This is what I had to go through (for three months!) and you know how truely awful my pct is!! I would ring them tomorrow and try and get an appt for Thursday. I imagine the last thing you feel like doing is being proactive but it would eat me up being in limbo for so long.

Loving the pom poms Ei - keep it up, the high kicks are truely impressive

I have just worked out I am cd28 today. Can I steal your symptoms Bucky? I too am bloated (but this may have something to do with the Panini, Chocolate Twist and Mocha I had for lunch - who ever thought putting a Costa into a service station was a good idea???? Its devious and plays havoc with my 'diet' )

Best get back to the photography....

Ho ho ho - my body has a funny sense of humour. Literally just got my period. ALWAYS a bad idea thinking you've got symptoms - just brings af on even quicker...

GG i am being quietly excited for you over here a HCG result higher than even the docs expected is a good sign and heres to a higher result again on monday have a hot choccie and some cake (a known cure-all) and try and distract your mind {{{{{higs}}}}}}
xx ei xx

GG Those blood test results do sound hopeful. I would agree with everyone else about asking for a blood test sooner that next week, if they will give you one. Glad you are now tucked up at home. Can you take the rest of the week off work?? How is DH doing with all this? Look after yourself, and rest as much as you can. XX

PnM Poo, poo, poo at your period turning up, virtually as you typed. I'd go and have another 5 paninis now if i were you. The photo shoot sounds glam!!

EI Stop posting and keep those pom poms going - they are obviously helping!!! Don't think you are going to be able to have any sleep until GG's next blood test!

Bucky I have everything crossed for you as well - roll on the weekend.

Caitni How's the temping going? How are things with you?

RFN2 How was the appt with the midwife?

DG Lovely to see you. How is your gorgeous boy?

MrsH (If you are able to lurk) Hope you and DD are having a fabulous time!

Things going fine here. We had the 20 week scan today, and everything is looking good. We now need to start to get organised i suppose!

GG As a veteran of ridiculous numbers of HSG tests I agree that those results do sound quite positive. It is, of course, entirely possible to bleed A LOT and still have a viable pregnancy. Do you remember Twinkingfairy who had an op to remove a suspected molar pregnancy and yet was still pregnant after that? Hang on in there. Take some time off work if you can. I know that the second 2WW can be as bad as the first but it can also turn out very well in the end.

(((Higs))) and positive vibes from SA.
