Diminishing lines. :(

Mel3062 · 29/12/2013 16:43

But I've heard they do diminish after a few days. What about a digi? Best of luck Hun xx

As in today's are weaker than yesterday's; yesterday's weaker than the day before's. Sigh. Yes, a digi is required. I'm 4+ 4, so presumably it should say 2-3 weeks?

brownstag · 29/12/2013 16:51

thanks Mel xx

Mel3062 · 29/12/2013 17:12

I would of thought so yes. I'm sure I've heard people say step away from tests for that very reason, you'll send yourself mad ( easier said than done I know) I even cried at kats test in eastenders until I told hubby digis don't stay on the screen that long!

brown Well I know sticks are the very work of the devil, but I'm so sorry to hear you feel it's going pear-shaped. Perhaps a digi is a good idea for confirmation one way or another?

duggs Sorry about AF but absolutely loving your plan, especially the Grecian Adonis type DS. Could do with some of that myself, methinks! :)

Please that this next year is so much better for us all. Heaven alone knows we all deserve it!

Hear, hear, Ari.
I went to the docs today and I'm having a scan on Thursday. I do have to taper, incidentally, although his advice was to continue taking pred 25mg until the scan, but I won't be bothering with that. The sooner I'm back to normal the better. The only good things about this miscarriage are that it's always better if it happens earlier than later, if it has to happen at all, and that I haven't yet put on any weight like last time. And that my liver escaped the Christmas drinking I would otherwise have done ;)

Mel3062 · 30/12/2013 13:32

Will you bother with a digi or wait for scan Hun? I understand your coping mechanism x I'll be thinking of you thurs

Just wait for a scan now. The lines are now a constant faint on a 10miu. Not going to waste any more money on tests. My dilemma now is whether to have a New Year's Eve drink tonight. I know it's failed but somehow it seems wrong while there's any ghost of a line ...

Mel3062 · 01/01/2014 10:50

Happy new year ladies here's hoping 2014 is good to us all.
Brown did you have a little tipple? You'll be I'm my thoughts tomorrow please let us know how it goes best of luck. You have greater willpower than me I'd of had to get a digi! X

Good luck brown. I know that there is nothing that I can say we have all been there on the roller coaster that is recurrent miscarriages. Just keeping my fingers crossed that this may still be your one.

Happy New year to one of the most strongest groups of women I know.

brownstag · 01/01/2014 11:42

Happy New Year all!
Miscarriage started last night, no pain so far, so I did have a drink or 10 but feel surprisingly good this morning. A fresh start for a new year xx

Mel3062 · 01/01/2014 12:50

Oh brown I'm so sorry. Good luck for this year xx

lemonsherbet · 01/01/2014 13:54

brown I am so sorry, what a rubbish way to start the new year. Are they going to test the products? Sorry for the term, hate it.

Arianrhod · 01/01/2014 23:04

Happy New Year everyone, huge hugs brown, let's hope that's the last one of those for this year!

Pebbles73 · 03/01/2014 13:21

Brown so sorry to read your news, I hope the rest of 2014 is a good one for you!!

How us everybody else doing?

duggs1976 · 04/01/2014 08:55

Crappy.... When is your FET ?

Pebbles73 · 04/01/2014 15:38

You are bound to feel crampy at the mo Duggs so don't best yourself up. When are you due to start with serum, will you go next cycle?

I had my 'scratch' done in Wendsday so just waiting for af which should be in a few days. Doing a natural cycle so as long as I pick up ovulation (not easy as conventional ovulation kits don't work for me but using my clearblue digi) will be put back seven days after. Basically will be around end of Jan. trying to be optimistic but already thinking if I get pregnant will miscarry.....
Have had my second mild cold in space of four weeks so hoping the hydroxy is working on my immune system!

duggs1976 · 04/01/2014 16:42

Oh fingers crossed pebbles Shock it would be fantastic if this took and stuck

we have our telephone consultation with penny next week. DH having his tests again including DNA fragmentation and aneplodidy test on sperm. If those are clear we would know in feb but would probably cycle in April as got a few things on in match including a wedding in Cork.

duggs1976 · 04/01/2014 16:43

In march I meant...... How is everyone else doing?

Mel3062 · 04/01/2014 17:30

Pebbles the cold sounds promising!! Really hope it works for you this time. I've been using the advanced digi though I've not had highs just a blank then peak!
Duggs really hoping you get success too I know I've not many any of you ladies but I consider you all good friends, I guess it's because we share wonderful info about ourselves!! Let 2014 be our year!!

Mel3062 · 04/01/2014 17:30

Met not many!!

Pebbles73 · 04/01/2014 19:20

I know you are keen to get going Duggs and know how annoying the waiting is but it will soon come round and you will be in a better frame of mind then. Let us know how your dh gets on. Big hugs.

I know what you mean Mel makes you feel less like the only person who can't seem to manage the simple task of having a baby!!

lemonsherbet · 06/01/2014 12:28

brown how did your scan go?

Pebbles73 · 06/01/2014 13:16

Got into work today to find somebody else is pregnant!! If only it was catching...........
