February Testing Thread **Fabulous February BFP's!**

Haha I'm so trying not too but my boobs are utterly on one and that has happened previous times.
Yes!! I get that too, feel that way to but I mustn't think it lol
Haha sounds like fun

I can’t say it’s ever happened to me in the 2WW definitely in first trimester with both my girls but I never got any real symptoms until much later after the test x

I've just poured myself a gin and I feel so guilty

Anyone else have cramps after positive ovulation iv had cramps all evening

I do sometimes I cramped for a couple of days around ovulation this time. It’s pretty normal as after the positive you release the egg

To be fair to easy@home, they continue to pick a line up when the One Step can't - for sensitivity reasons I highly rate them.

I would totally discard the positives I've had with them if I hadn't got positives on CB and eventually, One Step.

@Maza1993, that's super positive. Yay for O and yay for two week wait!

@flowerbomb, I always use Fertility Friend, it's way more accurate but it won't read the tests. All you need to do is to read the test and decide whether the T line is darker or as dark as the C line. Good luck!

AFM, I have a blood test next week. Thankfully the GP was more sympathetic than the EPU. Based on my tests (and the fact I've been through this before), I think it's another missed miscarriage. My HCG levels are hovering around 10, which is why tests are not getting darker. He's also running a progesterone check.

Still no blood, or even spotting. I'm now 2 days late. I can't believe this is happening all over again - I am so done.

It’s good you are getting some help rainbow. It’s really sad that this has happened again.

I had a missed miscarriage in 2015 and it was not diagnosed until ultrasound at 12 weeks I have popped a link from Tommy’s underneath

Missed miscarriage - information and support

@RainbowMama getting your progesterone checked is definitely a good idea, I’m glad they are doing that for you, hopefully they will give you some progesterone for next time you get a positive as it could be the difference

ive had a MMC too which was found at a scan at 11 weeks, turned out I had a blighted ovum so for the previous 7 weeks I had been deliriously happy and excited about being pregnant without even knowing that there was only a sac and a placenta but no baby developing, what a lovely experience that was, and then one of my friends referred to it as a ‘phantom pregnancy’ as if I had imagined the whole thing or something!

Babydust to those in the tww!

@night owl im sorry to hear that lovely. I still get really upset about my experience, it took me 3 years to even want to try again after that happened to us. Like yourself I had been ecstatic that we were pregnant and baby’s heart had stopped beating at 9 weeks. We’d just got engaged and everything was perfect! Until then & we nearly separated over it. I’d done a lot of research on the different types of mc before I decided that we would try again. I’ve since had a daughter 2 chemicals and what they call a secondary miscarriage at approx 6 weeks. I hate the term chemical! But all it means is that it is a loss before a fetus would be detected on an ultrasound. That made me a little more comfortable with the term as a loss is a loss and they are all heartbreaking x

I had cramps at ovulation and implantation. Good luck x

 

[flowerbomb]

@RainbowMama this is horrible that this is happening again.
I've had a MMC too and we found out at the 12 week scan, its an awful experience. I really hope you're ok.

Its great your doctor is going to run some tests, hopefully you get more answers xx

 

[flowerbomb]

I took a hpt test this morning, and I'm still showing as positive. I thought it'd be negative by now.
Back at hospital this morning for them to take my blood again to check my hgc levels

It can take a couple of weeks for it to drop. They might scan you again to be sure there’s not any retained but I think it needs to be a couple of weeks before they do that from memory x

 

[Mrsbridge17]

How are you @flowerbomb x

 

[flowerbomb]

How are you @flowerbomb x

I'm ok, I feel abit deflated. I wanted it to show as negative so then I could start testing for ovulation. I'm not going to ovulate till I'm negative.
I've struggled this week with seeing the blood loss and other bits, I've felt like I was flushing it away. When I had my MMC I had a d&c to remove everything which I think was easier than this as you don't see anything.

Don’t be too hard on yourself hun. It’s not been that long. I agree I found D&C easier than natural. Take it easy and if you need a gin have one you deserve it x

Blood taken, ill get a phone call this afternoon with my result and if its low enough they'll discharge me.

She said my age is against me as I'm 38 so not to delay but she also said I should have a period first before trying again. What's your thoughts on this? Xx

I think they do this purely for dating purposes. Providing you get a negative test it should be ok I think. X
