We've been trying for over 3 years and are currently on the waiting referral for fertility - it's a very long wait in our area so not expected to start until spring time- however, we have been surprised with falling pregnant naturally!
I initially tested positive Christmas but by New Years Day it was negative. Went to the GP once they reopened last week and was informed it was likely I'd had a chemical miscarriage (no bloods, scans or urine sample was done, just based on the fact I had a negative test 3 days prior) She provided me with various mental health support numbers and told me it's one of those things & the symptoms I had would all go away within 3/4 weeks (constant sickness, swollen breasts)
I've cried, I've felt lost and we've been waiting for a bleed of sort. At the weekend I had a small amount of pink discharge on the pad I had put on whilst waiting to pass everything but nothing like we've been expecting.
Yesterday I had a niggling feeling something wasn't right and so my DP went out to get some more tests as he was also not confident in the GP. Low & behold the darkest and quickest double lines we have ever got. DP called a local private reassurance scan who agreed to see us in the evening after he explained... the GP was wrong. I am in fact very much still pregnant! It is still early and they have invited us back next week to see how things have progressed and provide a more accurate dating scan as I'm measuring small compared to my LMP although they are very irregular so it's hard to rely on them. In the meantime, DP and I need to discuss everything with another GP hopefully today if we can get an appointment so we can then can move forward with midwife appointments or whatever happens next - we've never got as far as doctors initiating midwives before!
My emotions as you can imagine are all over especially as I have spent the last 6 days grieving for 'could/would have' things if that makes any sense at all. DP doesn't want to tell anyone until we are safely pass week 12 however, I'm very much wanting people to know because if anything doesn't progress, I know we both will need more support than each other.
I don't even know the purpose of my thread but it has felt nice to 'share' our good news, more so after the emotional rollercoaster we have been on.
