Hi girls,
I am currently waiting for :witch:, following EPRC on 16th Dec.
I was wondering, should I just wait til :witch: arrives, or do I need to be doing a pregnancy test to make sure it all comes up negative? Just to ensure everything is alright and when I do the next test it's accurate.
I'd really be grateful for any advice.
Thanks a million

I think if you wanted to test it would be a little early, but if you have the money or just use a cheapie, i dont see why not. I think if you want an 100% accurate test though you need to wait a little longer.

Might be better to ask the other girls, they will know much better than me :hug: Just didnt want to read and run.

Im sorry for your loss :hugs:
 
Do you wanna test to check on your hcg levels or to see if you're pg again? If its the latter i would definitely wait. If its to check on your cycle by all means do one but a cheap one as Drazic suggested :)

I did opk's once i got ewcm ( and i did a hpt a week after the ercp which came up -)and found my ov however, i am fully aware that following a mc your cycle could change quite a bit.... I had an ercp on dec 16 too. I had a + opk on cd 17 (with ercp being cd 1) as normal. My luteal phase is 13 days so i should expect af to arrive next week. Am i confident it will?..heck, no..I live in hope though, lol!

Id definitely wait to test if you suspect you might be pg again as testing early equals lost money, lol..but that's just me! :)

Sorry for your loss, hun.....

Hugs, Omi xxx
 
I'd do a test to check that you are testing negative after your miscarriage. I've been doing that because I want to make sure that any BFPs are genuine and not left over from my miscarriage. My op was 12 days ago and I'm still getting very faint lines but if my period doesn't turn up within the next 6 weeks then I will test again. I think then I'll know if it's positive or not because the test line will darken because, as I said, it is very, very faint now.
 
I'd agree with susan_1981. I had erpc on 19th Dec at which point I was around 9 wks (or 11 wks from LMP) - baby had died at 7wks+4. Did hpt on/around 31 Dec which still came up +ve although only feint. Waited and did another this week on 8 Jan and got a proper -ve this time.

Bought Tesco's pack of 2 last week (cos I don't know anywhere local to me who sells any really cheapie ones!) - and the first one didn't work so I had to buy a new pack (of 2) again to test this week. Although I have one of those left - I just bought some basic test strips from Fertility Plan on eBay (25 cost me around £4.50 inc postage - less than a pack of 2 from Tesco).....where does everyone else get their cheapie ones from?
 
Thanks girls. I really just want to test to make sure it comes out negative. I'm waiting for :witch:to try again and when I do my next HPT and get a positive I want to make sure it's genuine. Thanks for the advice. I think I'll give it another week or so and then try.

I got all my tests from Ebay. I bought some cheapie ones similar to what you have paid and I also bought 2 CB digi ones for £11 for when I got bored of analysing lines. I still have one of those left, although I'm wondering whether to buy one of the CB digis with pregnancy indicator on it for if and when I'm pregnant so that I'll know how far gone I am. Although we aren't trying trying this month, we're just going to see what happens. I suppose I'd only need one of the indicator tests if I got pregnant this month x
 
I too get the cheapie ones form fertility plan. Gheesh, they must be making a mint on us b&b girls, lol! Its good though. Cheap and fast. I used the cheapie last time and then went and bought a digi to double check. I'll do the same again, i think...fingers crossed of course :)
 
hi i had my erpc on 17th i did a hpt 2 weeks later and it was negative, you will not get an af unless your hcg is low enough anyway so testing might tell you if you can expect af anytime soon .

Thank you girls. I did a test and it was a clear :bfn: and :witch:looks like she's pretty much arrived.
So, onwards and upwards. Keen to have another go.
Fingers crossed for 2009.
