I have just turned 38, TTC since beginning of this year.
I have had 3 CPs, 1) in February cycle my period was a week late with faint positive tests, then came at the five week mark. 2) In May I was very symtomatic and crampy and again faint tests, followed by bleeding at 4 weeks. 3) Same pattern this cycle. Faint positive test in the morning followed by bleeding. Its heart breaking.
I drive to work in the morning as a pregnant woman, drive home from work as a non pregnant woman with a pad on and subsequently read around stories of woman who have had ‘periods’ throughout their pregnancies to delude myself until accepting the inevitable. Its an emotional whiplash. I think my husband is seriously worried about my mental health.
I seen EPAS yesterday after this last one to get bloods done - HCG less than three, after having then strongest positive test I have had on Monday morning. I am honestly starting to think I am doing something with the tests to get positives on the tests and maybe I am just making it all up.
Anyway I have made an appt with the private fertility clinic and also seen my GP yesterday who is referring me onwards too. Getting my bloods etc done.
I take all the supplements - have a normal BMI and no medical conditions. Non smoker have had periods of my life being t-total and have quit alcohol whilst TTC
Has anyone ever had a successful natural pregnancy with a history like this? Is it just a case of continuing to try. I have never tried to conceive before so it is all very new for me. I am also very early in the journey. I am thankful I have reached out for support. The emotional highs and lows and the hormones which spike is something I did underestimate.
I guess just looking for some support really any advice gratefully appreciated
