Anyone else testing in January?

[flowerbomb]

Yes maybe best to do that if your a worrier, if theres a hb at 8 weeks your miscarriage chances go right down. Is this your 2nd baby?

Yeah it is. I Had a MMC with my first. Found out at the 12 weeks scan that it'd stopped growing at 6 weeks so now I'm worrying about e everything. Cc

That’s understandable, have the scan at 8 weeks to put your mind at rest.

Finger's crossed i get there.
How are you feeling? Xx

 

[baby1201]

Im feeling fine at the moment, no different to normal. Maybe in another couple of weeks pregnancy symptoms will start. Are you feeling any different?

No, last Monday I had extremely sore boobs like they were heavy and then since nothing. I've been having cramps and twinges since before I found out but no other symptoms. Xx

 

[baby1201]

We are both pretty simular then, i dont think symptoms are meant to start until 6-7 weeks ish anyway. What are your lines like now on normal tests?x

@flowerbomb: Doesn't 1-2 weeks pg on one of those digitals pretty much HAVE to mean at least 3-4 weeks pregnant?

Until your scan, pregnancies are dated from the date of the start of your last period. So weeks 1 and almost all of week 2 of your cycle--even if you have a 28 day cycle and ovulate a little before day 14--would be before conception had even occurred, let alone implantation. And we all know the digitals usually don't give you a positive until several days after you can see something on a FRER or even a cheapie.

So, unless I'm missing something major, the digital shouldn't even start reading pregnant unless you're at, conservatively, a little over three weeks, and that's optimistic.

In short: if the tests were accurate, you should never get a reading that told you you were less than three weeks pregnant, so I'd take the result with a grain of salt. It would be concerning if the test told you 2-3 weeks at first and then went down to 1-2 weeks, since that would indicate HGC decline. But I don't think you have much to worry about yet.

Really pulling for you!

There is definate line progression on the frers, maybe you ovulated a little later than you thought or prehaps your hcg levels are climbing more slowly than others (there are huge variations even for healthy pregnanies). Even the normal clearblue has a good line. With my chemicals i have started bleeding a day or 2 after my period was due so i wouldnt say it was that. Maybe if your worried get the doctors to do bloods or try another clearblue digi in a few days when your hgc levels have had time to increase. These digital tests cause people so much unnecessary stress. Hugs x

Yeah so 1-2weeks means I'd be 3-4weeks pregnant, but I'm 5 weeks today so expected it to at least say 2-3weeks.

I just need to not think about that and wait till I can have a scan xx

Yeah they do. I dont think I'm going to do another test because I'll just start obsessing over it. Xx

I'm starting to lose brown discharge now

 

[Caseyh]

@flowerbomb this can be totally normal at this stage. Brown is okay. Red is not so good.

 

[baby1201]

Sorry to hear this flowerbomb, the uncertainty must be causing you a great deal of stress. It might be nothing, they say brown blood is old blood so try not to worry too much.x

 

[baby1201]

Hope your ok flowerbomb and the brown discharge has stopped x

 

[flowerbomb]

I'm still losing some today. I'm praying it doesn't turn red.
I just dont know what to do. X

 

[baby1201]

Only you can do is wait and see at this point unfortunately. Fingers crossed for you x

Thats reassuring, did you ever find out the cause? X

Its just hard the unknown though isn't it.
I wish I didn't take that digital test yesterday because that's making my worries worse.
Because I had really sore boobs last Monday and then gone to nothing im panicking that means I'm going to miscarry because when I've read up it says lost of symptoms is a sign of miscarriage. X
