Cant remember which girls who have already got their result wanted to leave - so have added the majority just in case! ☺️

Ok .. so I caved and tested !!!! OMG guys .. it’s got darker .. I really thought it was doomed ! I am 10dp5dt and not sure if it’s as dark as it should be ?? Used a wondfo and easy@home along with clear blue 🫣.. praying this time it stays and it’s just a slow starter ???? Think I’ll go privately for beta blood, Thursdays is closest appointment I can get .. not even told my clinic yet but I’ll go get bloods anyways as it may help put my mind at ease 😵‍💫🤞🏽✨💖 good luck to all !!! Hope we all get a sticky baby 🙏

So happy for you!! What wonderful news!! 🥰💕💜

Lovely to see @hopefullsosbry! Looks great for 10dpt and digi confirms it. Hope bloods give you extra reassurance.

@BakinABaby @DogMummy87 @hopefullsosbry hope all three of you feeling good after getting positives yesterday!! Can’t believe three on the same day.

@DogMummy87 is it your otd today? Do your clinic make you do a fresh test? That’s what mine did.

@BakinABaby when’s your otd?

@hopefullsosbry are you resisting more tests?!

Yes, OTD day today and we now have confirmed it with the hospital and did the test they gave us (and an extra boots one for good luck 🤣😜) Left a message and waiting for them to call me back. Feels so surreal and also so delicate as it is so early on. Not quite sure how to feel or what to do now! Mixture of very excited and very, very nervous! 🙏🏻💜

@DogMummy87 love to see those second lines!! Hope the clinic call you back soon. When I spoke to mine on OTD they just booked me in for a viability scan at 6+5 weeks and sent me a prescription for more pesseries. Feels weird after being in touch with the clinic so much to then be left alone just to wait for the scan!! Eeek, so excited for you! How many DPT are you now?

hopefullsosbry · 12/06/2024 09:04

@DogMummy87 must feel good now you have confirmed with the clinic .. amazing news for you !! Do they do Beta hcg tests ? Or just book you in for your scan ?

@AnnieStar12 yes I done another test and it’s slightly darker today, 🙏✨🤞🏽

hopefullsosbry · 12/06/2024 09:13

@AnnieStar12 did you get any beta bloods taken ?
To any ladies that got betas .. What levels were at around 12dp5dt ? Thanks

Just spoken to them! Scan booked for 3rd July so got to wait till then. And I need to pop in to get my pessaries prescription. The joy of continuing them 🤣 all for a good cause though! I also need to double my levothyroxine 2 days in the week as I had issues with thyroid levels before starting and got put on meds to sort it. Apparently you need to increase once pregnant and that is how they suggest you do it for now till the GP reassess my levels further down the line 🤷🏻‍♀️ I am 11dp5dt now! It is so weird to now just crack on and not have any other contact until the scan! Thank you 😘💜

I do feel so excited but also still so nervous and anxious...not sure that will ever go. I don't think they do HCG tests as they never mentioned it and I didn't ask! Just a scan booked in for 3rd July!!

So exciting about your darker line!! I got a good feeling we may be exactly on time together throughout this 🥰💕

hopefullsosbry · 12/06/2024 09:45

@DogMummy87 thats amazing you got the scan booked .. so exciting .. and yeh it will just be normal to feel nervous but so far everything is on track so hopefully you can relax ☺️
I just worry my lines arnt that dark and it might not be viable pregnancy.. I have looked at so many lines on the internet and most peoples are darker by this stage 🥺

this was today amd yesterday test .. bottom today .. and I done a frer .. should these lines be darker ??? Or am I freaking out 😩

@DogMummy87 thank you .. my anxiety is through the roof !!! I think as my last miscarage I was 151 betaHCG at 11 dp5dt and from comparing my line to last time it looks lighter this time .. so I think I have less this time .. 🤷🏼‍♀️ ahh this is why I stopped testing 😵‍💫

I have had a miscarriage before and I know it can make this time even more challenging. But try to just relax and enjoy knowing you are pregnant. And everything is going to be okay! I keep muttering that to myself every time I drift into anxious thinking which is often!! Sending lots of love to you 😘💕💜

AnnieStar12 · 12/06/2024 10:14

@hopefullsosbry how many dpt are you today? It is hard to compare line strengths as it will depend when implantation occurred and I think that can vary by a few days so you might have a late implanter.

It’s hard not to worry - everything is a cause for worry isn’t it!! I totally freaked myself out last Friday and somehow convinced myself that the lack of symptoms was because I wasn’t pregnant anymore. So I did another test on Saturday and it came up with a dark line which then made me panic that it was too dark and I’m over-producing HCG 🤪. Honestly just think this is gonna be a rough few weeks for us all after getting a BFP. And having had previous miscarriages just amplifies that so much doesn’t it?!

My clinic didn’t do Beta tests, I looked in to going privately but then decided against as felt it wouldn’t tell me a lot more than seeing progression on a test.

I believe in doing whatever you need to do for reassurance. So book a blood test or early scan or get digital tests if any of that will help you feel reassured.

At the end of the day, I also have to keep reminding myself that there nothing I can do to change whatever is happening in there anyway.

AnnieStar12 · 12/06/2024 10:29

@hopefullsosbry also should have said, you line today is visibly darker than yesterdays which is a great sign 🤞

hopefullsosbry · 12/06/2024 10:31

@AnnieStar12 thanks for the reassurance,💖.. you are 100% there is something to worry about at every stage .. this is why I stopped testing but seeing the lovely positives yesterday made me have a go and was shocked it was BFP! Hope you are ok and not too worried now .. if your line is really dark it could be twins ??
@DogMummy87 sorry for your past loss , your right it’s so much harder and stressful ..
I guess if my lines were dark I wouldn’t worry so much but I will get bloods tomorrow and as you say can’t change the outcome so just need to try relax .. thanks for the support ladies, my partner and I haven’t told anyone so no one else to speak to about this journey as we decided not to tell my sisters ect this time .. I really appreciate this group 🥰

I have found this group so helpful too as even though we have told some close family and friends, none of them really understand what it feels like to go through this. So appreciate you all and glad we can support each other like this! 🥰💜

I also think @anniestar12 is so right with the advice above!! We will all still worry but none of those worries will actually change the outcome so let's all try to relax as best we can. And come on here to let it all out when you need to!! Xxx

BakinABaby · 12/06/2024 11:05

@hopefullsosbry I think your todays is definitely darker, it looks good to me 😊

Well I guess I am out after all, murphys law struck again. Basically started my period today, lots of blood and clots so no mistaking it. Quickly did a test in the morning just in case as well and while there is something there, it’s fainter than yesterdays. So either a very early chemical or weird tests. My ‘feels like pre period’ was correct after all.
If I could just …get pregnant …you know, quite bummed, even cried in the morning. So tired of only seeing one line. I already emailed my doctor, haven’t heard back yet.

Wishing lots of luck to everyone else, especially @hopefullsosbry , I think your tests are moving in the right direction.

hopefullsosbry · 12/06/2024 11:08

@DogMummy87 thank you, yes I do have moments of not thinking about it (an hour or two) ha then I think about it again and worry about the worst .. scared to imagine the best , but you are so right .. postive vibes !!! 🙏✨💖🤞🏽and luck to us all 🥰

AnnieStar12 · 12/06/2024 11:10

@BakinABaby I am so sorry, that's so disappointing after having that little bit of hope yesterday. I hope you can treat yourself to something nice today, and start to work out your next steps. So sorry x
