Just wondering if anyone in similar scenario to me can advice how long too for negative tests. I had surgical management. Baby heartbeat stopped at 6 weeks. We saw heartbeat at 5 weeks and 6 days. Keen to start conceiving again but known need to wait for negative tests. Thank you

Hope everyone is keeping okay and looking after themselves. I still keep getting cramps with trapped but the EPU said that's normal. I've brought some of those windsettlers for my weekend away so hoping they help and going to try and eat healthily to reduce bloating and prepare for TTC again.

Hope you have a lovely time at the spa! Good that your bleeding has stopped too. Every time mine stops for half a day is starts up again! Been mostly spotting but getting the odd couple of hours bit of dark blood as well. I was asked to call the EPU if my test was still positive after 2 weeks, which it still it. They've said they will rescan next Friday if it's still positive Wednesday. I'm finding it so frustrating how long it's all taking. Just want to move on now...

Just to provide an update as I know I often and finding stories. I had negative test 2 weeks and 3 days after my surgical management. We are going to TTC (not tracking but just not using protection) straight away.

So pleased your tests went negative! I'm now 3 weeks and 3 days and still getting very faint tests! Hoping they'll be negative by next weekend. Was rescanned last Friday and I still have a hematoma attached to me c section scar which I'm hoping comes away when I get a period.

AF has turned up for me, 23 days after my MC/surgery. That’s the fastest so far, but as I’m waiting for test results I won’t be trying again til I’ve got those

Ugh, she’s playing silly beggars! Nothing at all today so yesterday must have just been a preview
