Hello girls,

Just spent the day at hospital. I thought it wouldn't hurt to get that niggling feeling in my tummy checked out so called my doctor who referred me to a&e who referred me to the early pregnancy assesment unit (EPAU). After having every test under the sun and being poked and prodded just about everywhere, I waited an agonising two hours (I had already been there for 4) before being told that it was highly unlikely that my "pregnancy" was a uterine one (ie normal). My missed period means I either had a miscarriage without realising it (??) or I have an ectopic pregnancy. When I asked the doctor if there was any chance of my pregnancy benig normal she said it would be pretty far down on her list as my hormone levels were so low (and they couldn't see anything in my fkking uterus). I have to go back in two days time for a second blood test but I naturally think the news will be bad.

So there you have it. Elated to devastated in one fell swoop.

whittywantababy6 · 13/11/2009 14:15

Hey ladies posting again...my cycle is now one day late...not sure why but hey I wont question it....not going to test trying to hold out as long as possible.

Antdamm · 13/11/2009 15:12

whitty keep us posted with the results!
kaylo any updates?
Thanks for asking seanybos - have been feeling uber emotional over the past few days so have been in bed weeping. Its coming to the end of my 4th week off work. Results of hCG are low aka BFN. Still dizzy, nauseous, tired and my back (just under my ribs are aching so bad). I haven't slept well the past 3 nights. No idea whats going on inside of me Am back to my GP on Thursday for a results breakdown - until then, I'm just trying sucj it in and ride this emotional rollercoaster!

Any other updates?x

bathroomsink · 14/11/2009 06:10

suck not sucj!

legallyblond · 14/11/2009 09:19

Jumble, I am so sorry - what a horrible day that day in the hospital must have been. I know everyone has said it, but don't give up just yet....

No news here... but dh and I are thinking of bringing forward the actively ttc to next month rather than Jan... yikes!

I am planning next week to get a dr's appointment to get her to check me for immunity to rubella.... anything else anyone can think of that I should ask the dr?

Love, have a good weekend everyone!

How is everyone else today?

jumblequeen · 16/11/2009 11:08

Hi all,

Sorry not to have posted for a few days. Still going through the process of endless blood tests to find out what is going on. One thing is for sure - I'm definitely pregnant, but the chances of it being a "normal" uterine pregnancy are pretty slim. It's a waiting game at the moment and I'm going slowly mad...

Don't mean to bring the tone down... Welcome new girls and lots of love to you all x x x

Bubblebell1 · 16/11/2009 11:40

Morning girls!

ant LOL at your ds... if only it was that easy.

i hate xmas shopping.. i got a few bits this morning, was a nightmare tho as ds2 wont sit in his pushchair and i spent most of the time chasing him around the shops.

legally good luck ttc... you going to follow the deannas plan or gonna attempt a relaxed approach??

seany how many cycles of clomid you had? i did 1 at 50mg and 2 at 100mg. still got 1 cycle left but thought i would safe it til i get desperate.

jumble i know its a difficult time. HCG levels can vary alot in the 1st few weeks of pregnancy... it aint over til the evil witch turns up. be positive babe.. sending you sticky thoughts xxxx

Antdamm · 16/11/2009 12:51

Jumble - Sorry if I am being dense here - but how do they know that the chances of it being a normal uterine pregnancy are slim. Did they do an internal scan? Are they basing this purely on blood test results?
Am keeping my fingers crossed for you.

seanybosmummysfedupwaiting · 16/11/2009 13:35

Afternoon everyone!

jumble please dont give up hope yet hun. thinking of you xx

Bubble this is my first cycle on clomid (50mg). I got a 3 month supply then the dose will be upped if it doesnt work
I cant believe you dont like christmas shopping!! I looooooooooooooooove it,its my fav time of year. Im nearly done with my shopping only have 3 presents left to get, and we've all ds's toys in.

How is everyone else today?

Ant hows your family tree coming along-uve been doing that for a while havent you?

OP posts:
Antdamm · 16/11/2009 14:16

My family tree is getting on well - have gone back really far. I have been at it since about March I reckon. I love doing it. Have been doing DPs family tree also - have got really far with that and his side i like better because some of his people grew up in the same city as I used to live in and I recognise places they lived,got married etc. We are giving his mum her family tree in a book thing for Xmas, which she will love.

I do love Xmas shopping, but not in this weather!! I have done a lot online this year, so that I can get it delivered to Scotland to save me dragging it back over there when we go at Xmas.

sparechange · 17/11/2009 10:23

hello ladies
I'm now 14 days past ov, but no AF
Tested on Saturday (when I was due) and got a BFN
But my totally symptonless!

KayloFireworks · 17/11/2009 17:08

Hi Girls!!!

Would like to inform you all that I got a BFP yesterday

This one better friggin stick. Feeling exhausted and so so sick already!!

Welcome back Bubble How are you?

Jumble I really hope things are ok with you!!! Sending smiles your way >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Bubblebell1 · 18/11/2009 07:57

Hi everyone!!

CONGRATULATIONS KAYLO that brilliant news sending you lots of sticky vibes. im great thanks and just hoping that this time round i get lucky.

spare are you sure u ovulated? did you do another hpt?

ant i'd luv to do my family tree.. on my dads side we cant go back further than his dad.. he was abandoned as a baby in scotland but i mite have a go at doin the rest.

seany fingers crossed the clomid works for you and you dont get too many of the awful side effects xxx

legallyblond · 18/11/2009 08:58

kaylo - CONGRATULATIONS! So happy... I am crossing everything for the next three months!

jumble - it all sounds so confusing and scary..... How are they sure its not normal? Maybe, just maybe..?

bubble - I am so dense and new to this... what is the "deannas" plan/approach to ttc?

I went to the doctors yesterday to discuss ttc - he basically said he didn't need to test anything in advance of me actually being pregant. He said my weight was just right (bmi 22) and we talked through my cycles... he said that, as everything seems to run like clockwork at the moment, best to just try for a few months and see what happens. He said to take folic acid and, if I am actively ttc and suspect I may be pg, not to drink alcohol. but other than that, he just said go ahead!

Have a good day everyone, x

Bubblebell1 · 18/11/2009 09:35

legally if you google 'sperm meets egg plan' or 'deannas plan' it explains everything. it is just a plan that can help you concieve... not everyones cuppa t tho... is a bit full on and some ppl prefer the more relaxed approach.

sparechange · 18/11/2009 10:13

SCREAM Kaylo!
That is such fantastic news. You must be over the moon!

In other news, the witch got me last night. I was this close to doing another hpt, but DH was out, so I thought I'd wait until the morning. Went to the loo and there it was.
Onwards and upwards though. I've already marked in my ov dates for Dec and told DH to clear his diary for those days as he has a job to do...
