TTC #6

[Gossipgirl993]

Well I’m having a chemical. My tests are still a faint positive but I’m bleeding like a period and I have horrific cramps. The pain is so intense. Am I best riding this out or going to the doctors for advice? I’ve never been through this before so unsure how to move forward. I just never thought it would be this painful! @CallMeHollywood I know you have just been through the exact same as me with the faint positives on the easy@home tests and I completely sympathise with you. It’s awful. I hope you’re holding up ok.

Now I’m worried how this will affect my TTC journey, I just want some luck!

I’m sorry love, I know how you’re feeling. I wouldn’t bother with the doctors, I didn’t last week. If I hadn’t been tracking, I would’ve put it down to a horrible period My doctors literally text me last week to say they don’t have any appointments, so I just didn’t bother. Hot water bottle, paracetamol and a nice bottle of wine is the ticket to making it feel a little better. For info, this is my chart currently:

It hasn’t changed as it’s not technically a miscarriage. I can let you know what happens with me LH and BBT levels in the next few days if you like? I put a poll on premom asking if anyone had issues with their next month and here were the results:

You will be fine x

I would make sure it goes on your medical records, IF (and I seriously hope it doesn’t) happens again, you want them to have a full picture of your history. I’ve had two chemicals in the last year, both times I fell pregnant the month after again as you are supposedly more fertile. Thinking of you, physically and emotionally it’s painful and horrible but sending you love and strength.

Another Monday, another week of BBT tracking and pissing on sticks. How are we all?

Apparently my fertile window starts again tomorrow but it keeps moving so who knows Husband is back from London tonight so should be good to BD this week as much as necessary. I’m considering not tracking LH after ovulation - thoughts?

@Gossipgirl993 hope you’re alright today love.

I never track LH after ovulation because I use the CB tests that stay smiley for 48 hours. I do like it - it's enough to know where I am and when my period would be due but then don't have to spend as much time testing. Good luck

Back to CD1, here we go again.

Sorry lovely I'm CD3, hopefully we'll have better luck this time.

 

[ScoutFinch]

Hi ladies, hope you’re all doing ok.

CD1 for me again too. I’m actually feeling ok. I’ve had my acupuncture today and ready to start clomid tomorrow. I’m sure I’ll be disappointed and wish I hadn’t got my hopes up but I’m pretty positive at the moment.

I stop testing once ovulation confirmed with BBT but my results are always very faint by then anyway

 

[WordsFromReuben]

Thought I’d try a test as I’m 8 DPO but it’s a BFN at the moment might still be too early but I don’t think it’s a goer this month sadly but we live in hope

Thank you

I’m feeling a little bit better today and a bit more positive. I ended up ringing my doctor who referred me to the early pregnancy assessment unit at my local hospital, next thing I know I’m in there for scans, consultation and blood tests. Of course as they even said the scans wouldn’t show anything because it’s too early but they did have a look at everything else in there and all is as should be! They are taking blood tests again in 48 hours to confirm my HCG levels and the chemical but they couldn’t have done more for me they were thorough and so lovely! So once it’s confirmed on Wednesday I can continue with my journey. They are also just making sure they rule out Ectopic.

Hope everyone else is ok! I think I’m going to try holding off testing next time until I’m well over my missed period but it’s so hard

Most likely too early, don't give up yet

 

[Heyguysswipeup]

11dpo and bfn.. trying not to lose hope because I feel pregnant still with sore big boobs and my bbt is going up.. what a mindfuck

 

[make-mine-whiskey]

Well I already know I'm out this month, very low LH, highest reading I got was 0.9, and then BBT confirmed 2 days later and we hadn't DTD god damnit

 

[Spencerskates]

Period started late last night.

I feel rubbish and like my periods aren’t ‘normal’ because I get a lot of spotting 2-3 days before full flow starts, but my periods are really regular and not super long, so doubt I’d be taken seriously at the doctor.

the hardest thing about this is seeing my OH so sad. I wish I could give him a baby.

1 week down -1 to go

Mine are like that, have seen a gynae as have a lot of random spotting and he didn't seem at all concerned. Basically ruled out any cause of spotting so said don't worry about it, can try the coil "after you've had your baby". Investigation showed I'd ovulated too. I think a couple of days spotting before is pretty normal, I just sometimes get more than that which is why I went to gynaecology.

 

[CallMeHollywood]

Apparently my fertile window starts today but my LH level is currently 0.14. Looks like my cycle has been affected by the chemical Don’t know if I can even be bothered to BD. All the emotions today.

Mine are like that too, gynaecologist wasn’t concerned said most people spot before their period just varies how long for

Yeh I’m the same! But it’s annoying as I don’t know when to count my first day of my period as? When do you guys count from?

Weirdly I’ve started spotting since I started Prozac..
