    I'm out again this month. Currently on day 41 of what feels like a marathon cycle. Did HPT today and it was BFN. Why oh why does my body decide to not play by the rules when I need it to!! It's so bloody frustrating.

    I got a positive hpt on Monday April 18th just before a work trip to france and two job interviews. Husband forbade me to test again until I got back (I just had so much on, and couldnt afford a meltdown) so I was wondering for four days whether it was happening or not. On the thursday evening, the day my period was due, I had quite a lot of bleeding (pink) and I was convinced it was all over. But it stopped again and none since. And I am still pregnant three weeks later. I swore after that Id never take an early pregnancy test again. I hope you have a positive outcome scousemouse.
    I rang the Coombe and they gave advice. So just wait and see. I've a gut feeling though. But trying to be optimistic !! Your experience gives me hope! Just concerned as its not spotting and its not Af. A mix really

    Hopefully it'll stop soon. Fingers crossed for the same outcome at Kantava.

    I had a really vivid dream last night where I was pregnant but had no symptoms whatsoever, so I was doing pregnancy test after pregnancy test and they were all coming back positive, but I just couldn't believe it to be true.


    So I woke up and went for a pee and decided I would test. it came back positive.

    I drove to work convincing myself that I had dipped the test in the pee for too long and had got a false positive. So I went to Boots and bought a First Response test and took it in work. Also positive.

    I don't know how I'm going to get through today in work. I am in a frazzled daze of emotions - I can't stop smiling and giggling and welling up with tears? Only one I've told is my husband. I'm just dying to spit it out!

    It looks like our little baby didn't make it.

    Herself had a light bleed yesterday so we went into the ER in the Coombe.

    She was about 10 weeks but when the midwife did the ultrasound there was no heartbeat and she said the size was not as it should be at 10 weeks.

    We were booked in tomorrow for an internal scan anyway so instead we have to go back in for final confirmation and to see if she needs to have a D & C or if she will be able to pass it herself.

    Pretty cut up, herself in particular. Blaming herself and what not. I'm doing my best to reassure her that its nothing she did or didn't do but as I'm sure those of you that have been through this can atest to, its not easy.

    I just feel numb and my heart is broken for her.

    Sorry to hear that, it's very hard. Have been there myself twice also. Take some time to grieve and look after her. Yourself too obviously. I still find myself counting down to due date and calculating how many week I'd be now etc. I don't have any answers even for myself. I didn't want to not respond as I know what ye are going through and It's heartbreaking.

    Positive Tesco OPK but negative Clearblue :mad: they have been serving me well up till now but don't know what's going on this month. Middle of fertile period according to FF. Spent about €60 on the 20 pack of CB and they're just causing doubt :(

    So sorry Saul T. Twice in one year and so late on this time. I'm so sorry. Take care x


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 299 ✭✭applesock


    @catrionanic - amazing news congratulations!

    Im due AF in two days now , no symptoms of anything. I normally about 2 days later than predicted. We got a little puppy , so I've been sort of distracted , I'm not googling and I'm not over thinking and I've started running again. I did buy pregnacare vitamins for conception so will start taking them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 260 ✭✭Scousemouse83


    I'm so sorry for you both Saul t. Thinking of you both.

    I ended up in the wrong in Coombe last night, sent from work so had to tell 2 girls in work what was happening.
    Have to go bk to epu tomorrow but as its early I probably won't see anything so will have to wait for hcg's. Cary as my Dh is away and my family live in abroad. Fingers crossed but with the amount of bleeding I'm pretty resigned to the idea of an early loss.

    Good luck to the rest of you ladies!!

    That's good that you got to the Coombe, has the bleeding stopped? Hopefully there is still a chance everything is ok.

    Ufff I find the opk's so confusing seem to get different results on cheapies and CB. Have given up on them completely partly due to the expense!

    I don't post too often on here but feeling blur today.

    I was 3 days late this month and was abroad on holidays. Really felt this was my turn. Have had almost 3 months of acupuncture and was feeling really positive this month.

    Also had a very realistic dream about a positive test.

    Came home today from holidays 3 days late and said I'd give it another day or two before taking a test but almost like clockwork as soon as walk in door of house AF arrives.

    So disappointed :'-(

    Ah very sorry to hear that, this process is very difficult when it doesn't go smoothly. Hang in there and chin up for that bfp you deserve next month.

    Stopped again so who knows. It's the blood tests I'm waiting on more than a scam as its do early so be a long week waiting to see if they double. Crossing everything!

    They are very confusing at times Es as they all give different results. I see tesco ones and found them good and cheap but you get a definite and no lead up like CB ones do that's difficult as I found the flashing smiley handy as I knew I was leaving up to the solid smiley! But very confusing all round!

    Flashing smilie today even thought I got a positive Tesco one one Saturday evening and a weak line yesterday evening so thought I had ovulated sometime early Sunday. Maybe it was just a peak without ovulation tho as I believe you can get more than one LH peak in the month.

    So confusing as I haven't had that happen before but it means we may not have missed that boat at I thought we had.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 299 ✭✭applesock


    I'm in a very meh kind of mood. I am waiting on AF to arrive. I just know nothing happened this month. Although going by cm , we did all we could. I think I might try ovulation sticks for next month.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 260 ✭✭Scousemouse83


    Update. Nothing seen on scan too early but uterine thickness borderline. Bloods done today and then repeats wednesday. More than likely early miscarriage just hoping its not ectopic!

    Is there a chance that you are still pregnant? How are you feeling?

    I didn't know you could get more than one LH surge! Might explain why I was getting a peak on the CB opk's so early but don't actually think I was ovulating then. Good to know!
