2dp5dt BFN

[Eggcellent29]

Hi all

Well, I’ve gone ahead and done something silly. I tested at 2dp5dt and it is a stark negative, not even a hint.

I know it’s early (less than 48 hours) but I feel like I’m already out as it’s 7 days before period would be due and all these tests say they have like 99% accuracy 6 days before and all this. Plus all the stuff you read online. Why do I do this to myself?!

On my first cycle (pregnancy, mmc at first scan) I didn’t test until beta and it was torture. But this might turn out to be worse!

Has anyone out there had a bfn at this stage and gone on to have a successful pregnancy? I need some hope!

Thanks all x

That would be really crazy doubling from Sunday!
But 476 is a really good number!
Are you going to have another blood test? X

@Eggcellent29 how have you been getting on? Are you going to do any more tests? X

@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted Thanks no I’m not think I’m going to try and relax (easier said then done I know) and enjoy being pregnant for the moment and count down too the scan next Friday which seems bloody ages away and wish I’d done it for the Wednesday now! How are you feeling today? X

@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted

Hiya! I’m good thank you! Back at work and bloody exhausted 😂 But totally don’t mind as long as little bubba is happy and healthy!

They offered me another blood test or scan, but said they are sure things will progress as expected. So I decided to wait for my 7 week scan. I know that as soon as I get any results, even if they are positive, I will just start to worry again. Need to get past the scan where it all went wrong last time really!

How are you feeling??

@Eggcellent29
Ha I know the feeling! Monday when I got my test results was a really good day and felt good and then my confidence goes down afterwards!
I've set myself little milestones - getting a 3+ on clearblue will be one (didn't get it today 😢) but I've got a follow up blood test tomorrow and then I've got a scan a week today so not too long to wait

I'm tired too but that's because either one of my cats has been throwing up at 2am or my DC has been waking up in the night!

@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted

How did you get on with your second blood test?

I really wish I’d done something. All I do is worry and analyse every little thing 😞 I don’t know how to cope with the worry!

@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted Yes how did you get on?

How are you @eggcellent?

I don’t think I am going to have a good out come at my scan next week! Had a heavy bleed last night and passed a clot! Had to go to the clinic and am now on Lubion injections aswell as 3 cyclogest and now 4 progynova A day! Bleeding has now stopped pretty much back to spotting which I’ve had on and off since 4 days after transfer! Not feeling hopeful

Evening ladies - didn't get results till quite late today - they've gone up to 3648 so quite pleased with that although did a clearblue at 2am (cat threw up again 😬!) and it read 2-3 weeks and I had some right sided pain but went crazy and did another test at 630am and got 3+ finally. Still got niggly right sided pain (my only remaining tube is on that side so was a bit worried about another ectopic but I didn't get 3+ till much later with that pregnancy)

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF oh no I hope the bleeding was just a one off? What did The clinic say? I'm on x3 cyclogest a day too and also clexane injections and x2 prednisolone

Just counting down the days until Wednesday now. I don't think I'll do any more blood tests - maybe just another clearblue on Tuesday just so I'm prepared in case it's gone down. I've had so many scans which have ended up with bad news now that I just like to be prepared mentally a bit

@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted So pleased for you on both accounts!
I don’t know if you feel the same I think the clinic are great but I don’t find them very reassuring when I’m worried so I rang the emergency no and spoke to the consultant who just told me to up the progynova and to let them no today how the bleeding was getting on so I did and they told me to come in as I needed to start the injections to help boost my progesterone and that it’s just have to wait! It has stopped now now apart from the spotting but am jist in limbo I guess till next week. I think I’ll do a test in a few days but am preparing myself for the worst!

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF
I think most places are like that when you're feeling worried - it's all you get on the NHS too - I've been told so many times that I've just got to "wait and see" but it's definitely not helpful when you're going through something like this - some of the nurses definitely come across more compassionate/easy to talk to than others though especially on the days they're really busy

@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted So did a clear blue digital this morning and it’s gone down to 2-3 😢

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF oh no!
Do you think maybe though the Monday one was a fluke? Hcg for 3+ needs to be over 2753 in urine which in blood works out minimum 3200 (based on how mine have worked before) so if you had circa 400 on Sunday you would only just be getting to 3+ today/tomorrow based on 48 hr doubling?

I didn't get mine till Thursday and that was with a really concentrated second morning wee

I haven't done one today - have ordered some from Amazon so will do a check one on Monday morning

@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted Possibly I did say i was surprised that it was a 3+ on the Monday! I dont no I’m just so deflated about it and the waiting is really getting me down

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF I know the feeling. My nerves are shredded. DH can't come with me on Wednesday so got to go on my own and I guess I'm just building myself up that it will be just another scan with bad news. If I hadn't had a mc previously at 12 weeks I'd be feeling optimistic that I'm only a week or so away from when I lost pregnancies before (6/7wk mark) but 3 months seems so far away to feel like I can even start being hopeful

@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted On no you poor thing that is going to be tough for you to go by yourself! I don’t know how I am going to cope on Friday If it’s bad news as we are literally going from there to collect my dd and then off on holiday! I’m not planning on testing again till thurs jist in prep for Friday!

Morning ladies so severe right sided pain this morning - to the point I can hardly walk - I think maybe this is ectopic after all (or maybe one of them is since I had a double transfer) - managed to get a scan at my clinic for 1030am

Hospital EPU were useless - even though I've had ectopic before and was due to come in Friday anyway they said I'd have to go to a&e first - which means several hours waiting even though just lying down is painful right now

@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear you’re in so much pain :( fingers crossed it’s not ectopic!!

That’s absolutely ridiculous!! 😡 How can they expect you to wait in a&e like that?! Glad that your clinic managed to fit you in. Let us know how it goes - I’ll be thinking of you! ❤️

@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted Oh no how awful for you! I have everything crossed for you right now! Glad the clinic are going to see you! Let us know how you get on! Xx

Thanks ladies - my clinic rang back and said to come straight in rather than wait so just in waiting room now 🤞 trying to be positive but I'm so used to bad news now x

Well that is good that they got you straight in let us know i have literally everything crossed for you and hope its nothing to do with your pregnancy xx

So bad news as I expected.....baby found with a heartbeat in my right tube so clinic rang for an ambulance straight away - just waiting for doctor to come down and confirm they'll operate in the next few hours

Oh no I am so so so sorry I really wanted this to be it for you after so much pain for you!! Take care of your self I hope you have all the support you need let me know how you go xx

@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted

I am so so sorry to hear this. That is so disgustingly unfair. I know there is nothing we can say to make it better, but we are here if you need to talk at all.

Take care of yourself, you know where we are ❤️

@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted Think of you!

@Eggcellent29 hope your ok?

I think I’m out did a digital today and it has now gone down to 1-2 so just got to wait for the scan to confirm on Friday but I really just want to stop the drugs now as I don’t see the point

@finallytakingtheplungewithivf

Absolutely torturing myself tbh!

Oh babe, I’m sorry to hear that. I was going to do one but I didn’t want to upset myself even more :/

@FinallytakingtheplungewithIVF oh no rubbish news! Maybe see if they'll move the scan to earlier in the week that way you don't have to stress about getting through the rest of the week?

I had surgery late last night - had to consent for them to take my last tube so just waiting for doctor to come round this morning and tell me what else they did. They thought something else might have been in my uterus but it was much smaller than the ectopic one and most likely not viable. I don't think I'll ever get over seeing the heartbeat and then having to consent for the operation

@Eggcellent29
How have you been? Any more bleeding?
