[Maximus17]

Thank you all. I am
Pleased to say that I am feeling really nauseous this morning
I am currently waiting at the EPU to be seen so let’s see
But with my first miscarriage things did progress but it came down pretty quickly so let’s see
I also have this pain on my lower left side still

Love that quote Rainbow x

So they took bloods and they said they will call me back anytime after 1.30pm

 

[Maximus17]

I just wanted to upload this pic as this is how light the test is after 3 minutes taken in the day. Once I leave it for more than 10min than it gets darker. That’s why I am a little worried as I think that it should be a lot more darker as today is af is due. That do you think?

I think this can be lighter for a number of resons, it isn't first morning urine which means you probably haven't held your wee long enough and you most probably have been drinking liquids throughout the morning.
I don't think you should worry atm Maximus, you have been for blood tests so they will confirm the level of your hcg which is hopefully good!
I also know that some ladies don't get a strong line until after their AF is due. Your practically not late for AF until tomorrow so try and stay positive. x

And this is 3 min later
This same thing happened with my early miscarriage last time

Not everything that happened with your last pregnancy is necessarily bad. I know it ended in miscarriage but your test at the start and how they developed could have been completely normal. You need to try to stop testing and comparing. At the end of the day what will be will be and nothing will change it so just enjoy today and take it a day at a time x

Yes I know. Whatever happens it’s for a reason. Let’s see what my blood tests show x

 

[Maximus17]

ok so my HCG is 49 and progesterone is 74 and today is around 14dpo. Does this sound normal? She said I need to go back there on Monday for repeat

 

[Abi88]

I've just googled (to save you from having to because I know what it's like to go down that rabbit hole of worry!) and Hcg levels in week 4 can be anywhere between 5 and 426 apparently. So it sounds like you are with the range of what is expected. Now they just need to make sure they are increasing as they should be. So it sounds like a good start. Fingers crossed!

Sounds ok to me but a single HCG figure doesn’t mean much, it all depends on whether it doubles in 48 hours x

 

[Maximus17]

thanks all . lets see what happens by on Monday

thanks all . lets see what happens by on Monday

Try to enjoy your weekend and not obsess too much. I know how hard it is, when I was pregnant my mum said I wasn’t happy unless I had something to worry about. I was constantly obsessing but it didn’t stop any of my miscarriages and it meant I didn’t fully enjoy my pregnancy with my daughter, I regret that now and if I get pregnant again I’m going to try and just relax x

thanks rainbow, you are so right, I need to enjoy the moment but at the same time I don't want to get my hopes up thinking about a baby, so I really need a distraction. I went swimming today at least

 

[GeekMaker]

The blood test is good news! I hope it continues to double and this is a sticky one!

 

[GeekMaker]

This sounds very promising GeekMaker. How many dpo are you? X

8 day DPO now I think off the top of my head. Gonna test Sunday just cuz...well yeah. I dont have early result or FRER because i just dont feel this cycle is it. I have Pregmate strips though so we will see.

 

[EmmaN27]

Sounds promising Maximus, hopefully Mondays test results will give you even more confidence in your BFP x
