Glad you’re doing better @Overlyanxious. Yes, I started my job on Tuesday.

How did you get on at the doctors @KLO0224? Have they said when you can expect to get your results?

Well I went for the blood test, it was traumatic 😂 they couldn’t get blood for ages, 7 attempts later in various parts of my body they managed to get what they needed!
They said I could hear tomorrow failing that it would be Monday. Just done another test and it’s positive still.
So nothing new from me really.
My urine was very cloudy when I did my test just now, maybe I am dehydrated and that’s why they couldn’t get blood either? Or should I be more worried?

KLO0224 · 08/04/2021 19:13

Tonight test

That’s definitely stronger than before @KLO0224 the test line is stealing dye from the control line. It’s also not FMU. Have you braved your digital yet?

OP posts:
Waiting2BAMummy · 08/04/2021 21:06

I’ve just googled it and it says cloudy urine in early pregnancy can be due to dehydration, a change in hormones or a uti. If you don’t have any pain I would probably rule out the uti though @KLO0224

KLO0224 · 08/04/2021 21:08

@Waiting2BAMummy no not yet, il save it for Saturday or Sunday! What does stealing dye mean? It looked darker to me.
All the reading in forums and Facebook groups I’ve done have all resulted in miscarriage when getting positive tests following a period like bleed. I just can’t muster up any hope at the minute!
I’m feeling emotional because our original due date from the first pregnancy is in a few days so I’m full of ‘what it’s’ at the minute 🙁

KLO0224 · 08/04/2021 21:10

I’ve just examined my wee again and it’s gone back clear! Panic over. No no pain or anything either. They dipped my sample today at the doctors and all was ok. And their test was positive too.

Waiting2BAMummy · 08/04/2021 21:19

It means that there is so much due in the test line that the control line is lighter than the test line because the test line is using so much dye @KLO0224.

I understand why you feel that way and I’m sure you don’t want to get your hopes up only to get bad news but you had a negative before your bleed and didn’t get a positive until after so your situation isn’t the same as there’s.

For what it’s worth I have a good feeling about this for you and I just hope that I’m right x

Thank you @Waiting2BAMummy I love your positivity and I’m so grateful to all of you for your support!
If I can get to the 13th that will match the length of the first pregnancy so that’s my goal for now!

Waiting2BAMummy · 08/04/2021 21:27

That's such a strong line. Hoping so much for a good result for you. I think if HCG is over about 1500 then you should be able to see something on a scan. So pleased you've finally got to see someone.

Overlyanxious · 09/04/2021 21:38

@KLO0224 I’m continuing to keep my fingers crossed for you. That positive line does look so strong

bitheby · 09/04/2021 23:08

I've been checking the thread all day for an update. Thinking of you.

KLO0224 · 10/04/2021 07:58

How is everyone? I don’t have any update on the test results. It will be Monday now. But I did build up the courage to do the Clearblue test.

I think this ones a keeper @KLO0224 🤞🤞🤞🤞 You so deserve this and I hope everything is going to be okay ♥️

KLO0224 · 10/04/2021 09:02

I hope it is, I can’t get my hopes up yet though. Hopefully they will offer us a scan to put our minds at rest. If not I may book a private reassurance scan?

Waiting2BAMummy · 10/04/2021 09:10

That sounds like a plan @KLO0224 you’ll drive yourselves crazy if you have to wait until 12 weeks. Hopefully they will offer you one anyway, to make sure everything is okay.

After everything you’ve been through I completely understand you not wanting to get your hopes up.

OP posts:
KLO0224 · 10/04/2021 18:00

I can’t imagine what state I will be in in another 5 weeks if this is the real thing!
There’s a scanning place in our main town so won’t have too far to go.

Waiting2BAMummy · 10/04/2021 21:25

Hopefully you’ll be able to feel a little more settled once you know everything is okay @KLO0224.

OP posts:
KLO0224 · 12/04/2021 14:30

The results are in from my blood test on Thursday. HCG level of 7394. I need to go back tomorrow evening for another to see if they are rising but the doctor said it looked good!

Waiting2BAMummy · 12/04/2021 15:09

Yay @KLO0224 👏🥳🎊♥️ SO happy for you, actually have tears in my eyes!!

That doesn’t mean you get to ditch me @KLO0224

OP posts:
KLO0224 · 12/04/2021 15:14

I hope they are rising as they should! But I have allowed myself a little happy dance in the kitchen!
@Waiting2BAMummy you can’t get rid of me that easy, il be hanging around to see you lot get your BFP’s plus you all keep me sane :)

bitheby · 12/04/2021 15:19

Yay. I KNEW they were good strong lines. That's a huge result. Fingers crossed for a good higher figure tomorrow and an easier blood test. Make sure you're fully hydrated first x
