❤️Feb 22 Testing Thread❤️

Keeping my fingers crossed for you @Sugar10, hopefully it was just baby implanting deeper.

Hey @RainbowMama nice to hear from you. Thankyou!
nothing since so trying to stay hopeful. Thinking of another digital on Monday if we make it that far xx

Thankyou guys. @MysticKitten that’s good to know - Thanks. Well after that bit of pink last night I’ve had nothing, with my miscarriages I started spotting dark brown and it never quit just gradually got heavier until a few days in it was red. So I’m trying to stay hopeful that it’s implantation. But like @Fsb676 said I always think the worst too, so I’m prepared anyway.
I haven’t any any advice from the gp really or told to wait , just had a scan which showed everything normal, and the cyst I previously had was gone. Because I’ve lost really early like 4/5 weeks my cycle has returned to normal within a few days so I wouldn’t see a reason to wait.
I cant really do anything about things right now so I just need to stop moaning and wait and see what happens! Sorry to be a downer!! What dpo are you now @Fsb676 ? have you tested since
Hope youre ok @Jamla x x x

This is such good news to hear! I am so glad that it seems to have subsided!!! Your probably right about the advice since it was so early. Mine was 6.5 weeks, and did take much longer to return to cycle. I’m 11dpo, and even though I said I wouldn’t….lol….I tested at least twice since last time….haven’t tested today. Yesterday was bfn though. I’m running low on tests and convinced not to buy anymore, so I don’t want to rest too much….until 14dpo….but I’ll probably cave and test tomorrow . Thanks for asking!

Having pink spotting tonight. .... so now I’m back to having zero hope. Such a roller coaster of emotions just wish I knew how this outcome was going to be. It’s getting me down I really hoped this one would stick x x

@Sugar10 So sorry to hear this - really hope that it stops and isn’t what you fear. Hopefully it’s just more implantation or normal bleeding. Try to stay positive (although I know that’s easier said that done) xx

Awww so sorry. Try to stay calm. Stress isn’t going to help. So much harder done than said. I agree with jamla. It could still be normal.

 

[RainbowMama]

I’m praying so hard for you @Sugar10!

I’m patiently waiting for a March thread to go up. EDIT: Got too impatient so started the thread.

 

[Sugar10]

@RainbowMama Thankyou. Nice to have you back ! I’m sure I’ll be joining you over on the March thread. But praying I don’t need to ‘test’ and this works out ... xxx

@Fsb676 @Jamla Thankyou, I’m trying to stay positive. I’ve had stomach ache on and off but I’ve read that can be normal (for both outcomes!) and the pink is tinged with brown this morning. I really don’t know what’s going on, and kinda wish if it was leading to a m/c it would just get started if you know what I mean. I darent test again incase the line is faint, and I was going to do a digital weeks one again but too scared incase it says not pregnant. As then I’ll definitly know. This is such a roller coaster of unknown isn’t it. Only really had issues early on with my 4th the rest I never saw a drop of brown and only needed to test a few times (must’ve had more self control back then!) ha.
you must be ready to test again @Fsb676
Thankyou for letting me do this venting guys, I know it’s just the same boring moan moan but when nobody around you knows (except DH) then I think you could go insane without this support network hope we all end up with our babies whenever it may be xxxxx

@Sugar10 So sorry you’re having such an awful time, the unknown is horrible! I’ve still got my fingers crossed to you! And vent away! This is what this forum is for! I find it far easier to say things on here as well as all my friends either don’t know what we’re going through or are now pregnant (and I’m over the moon for them!). As you say, this support network is wonderful.
And I hope we all end up with our babies soon too! Xx

Hope is now lost. I’ve started bleeding.
Completely broken. I feel so stupid that I allowed myself to think that this time might be ok! As we’d Gone all week with no bleeding. Ringing the doctors tomorrow, this can’t continue , it breaks people xxx

I’m so sorry @Sugar10 . Sending you a massive hug, I can’t imagine what you’re going through. Definitely call the dr tomorrow - hopefully they can shed some light and help. And don’t feel stupid for getting your hopes up - it’s completely natural. I know it’s really hard, but please try to stay positive for the future, don’t give up hope. Xxx

Awww @Sugar10 I wish I could give you a hug and just sit and cry with you. Definitely praying for you, and sending virtual hugs! Don’t feel at as ok stupid. You have been do supportive, and it is so nice to have a place to chat. I know exactly what you mean. It’s hard when only one person ot a few people in your circle have the faintest idea what you are going through.

Well, just went in for my HSG and he couldn’t do it as he couldn’t get the catheter in. He said there might be a film over my cervix opening. I’ll need to go back for pretty much the same procedure again but they’ll use different equipment and dilate my cervix, and then go back in again to try the HSG again. He asked if I have normal periods and I said yes and he said that my cervix must therefore be opening and so sperm can get in, but I’m a bit worried now. I’d also built myself up for the HSG and so feel a bit crappy now that I have to have another procedure and the HSG again…

Awww I’m so sorry. I would be so bummed too. I’m glad to hear that he thinks the sperm can get in though!!! That’s good! Were you able to get it all scheduled on the calendar?

No, nothing in the diary, so I assume we dtd as normal until we have a date. Our lovely fertility specialist has said it’s nothing to worry about and is going to speak to the consultant on Friday about it and/or I’m going to speak to him on Monday. My husband said it’s hopefully just another step closer to figuring things out and I know he’s right, but I can’t help but worry. Why does it have to be so complicated!

That’s awesome that your husband is so encouraging. That’s mine too…he’s the optimistic one lol. I don’t like the complications either…but who does. Definitely dtd until you get it scheduled. Did you end up missing your fertile window or you think you are going to catch it?

Yesterday I started spotting, so today or tomorrow I expect AF. I was really trying to keep the stress down this month. Convinced myself, yet again, that maybe this was the month, but alas, it’s not. I have my FSH levels retested this week. Praying they are low!!! I’ve been on this low dose thyroid med that seems to have quickly lowered my TSH…and I have no idea….but I’m wondering if it is regulating my cycle more. They are almost never 28 days, and I have had two in a row that are. Idk….I guess that’s good.

I’m supposed to be ovulating on Wednesday, but did a clearblue advanced test this morning and it was a blank circle, so I may have missed it. Although, I have in the past had blank circles up until my solid smiley - so maybe not! Fingers crossed. I also realised that, if ovulate later than Wednesday, maybe that would explain why my cervix hole was so small? Hopefully?

Fingers crossed your spotting isn’t your af at all and that this is the month! If not, I hope your FSH levels are low! And I would’ve thought anything regulating your period would be good. Everyone’s always said to me that conceiving is easier with regular periods!

Hopefully they’ll be lots of good news for us all soon!
