Can anyone see the line on this? It’s the same test taking at different angles. Worried it’s a evap

 

[loeylo]

Well they weren't evaps. 10dpo and im calling it bfp.

I'm so shocked as really thought we were out this month as only managed to bd on cd 9 and 11 and ovulated on cd13. Given my lack of ewcm I thought there was no way any swimmers could still be around.

Now I'm terrified of another mc.

Sorry I have been a bit MIA, but I have been reading along with all the posts. So excited to see some bfps! Congrats @topazicatzbet and @Lottielouf! Sorry if I’m missing someone else that got a bfp since last time that I posted. So excited for you guys!

@Deethehippy sorry about the bfns It’s hard enough to get a bfn when you’re just trying at home so I can’t imagine how you must feel after a failed IUI. I know my aunt used IUI to get pregnant with my cousin. It took two rounds to work. Was this your first IUI?

@Weemcb26 I can definitely see a line in the second picture but not sure about the colour. Hope it’s the start of something!

I am on cd 11. No idea when I can expect to ovulate this month after my chemical, although I have found my cycle is quite resistant to outside stressors. Even after my septum surgery and lap to remove endo I ovulated 2 days later on cd 13.

 

[loeylo]

Just finished my period. Cycle 8, here we come.

I’ve added in vitamin D to my vitamin regime. What is everyone else with recurrent miscarriages doing? I’m just doing the pregnacare gummy pregnancy vitamins and vitamin d just now.

Got the clearblue advanced digital ovulation tests on special offer in boots so I’m using those instead of the cheap ovulation tests.

I’m having bloods done on cd21 to test for progesterone and maybe some other things, I’m not sure.

Never thought it would take this long, and statistics mean my next pregnancy very possibly won’t be my second rainbow baby. I have a 1/10 risk of ectopic pregnancy each time, and a 50% chance of miscarriage. Before, I fell pregnant at the drop of a hat so it is hurtful now that it is also difficult for us to conceive in the first place.

 

[Weemcb26]

thank you. I jut did another straight after because im inpatient like that and watched it like a hawk and its slightly darker and came up in the right time. im going to jump out and buy a FRER later on today xx

 

[realbeauty86]

Well just an update. I cried a little but I’m ok now. My mom says I should have a dnc done. A little bit of history. I’ve had 2 miscarriages. One being last year and I also had an abortion which I’m usually against but I had to have it done. There were issues where the hormone took forever to leave my body so my mom thinks I need a dnc. I made an appointment for Tuesday so I’ll see what they say. My mom says after that I’ll be super fertile and should get pregnant.
There’s still a small piece of me wishing the blood would stop tomorrow and don’t come back and I get a bfp. Just dreaming tho. It’s crazy cuz I never really start my cycle early unless the weather is changing. So idk. Still sucks tho.

congratz @topazicatzbet Lines looking good!

 

[Weemcb26]

I feel like I never really introduced myself properly and just jumped in the other day

I currently have 3 boys 11,7,3. we lost our first and only girl in April last year at 16 weeks due to a cystic hygroma, after 3 months of a partial retained placenta we started trying again.

just so happens that if these are true positives I will be due on the 28th October which was my princesses original due date before we lost her last year, call it an omen xx

@loeylo I’m just taking my standard prenatals, but I think they are really great because they have methylated folate as well as DHA, iron, and iodine on top of the standard vitamins and minerals you’d normally find in a multivitamin. They are a bit on the pricier side (about 30 euro for a month’s supply), but I feel like it’s worth it to avoid taking multiple supplements a day. I’ve been taking them somewhat consistently since 3 months before we started ttc, so two years now. I feel like at this point my body probably has a pretty good reserve of all the things it needs for baby making.

Can I ask how you know your risk for ectopic and miscarriage? I know I’m at a slightly increased risk for ectopic because I’ve had pelvic surgery and I have endometriosis. I don’t know if I’m at any increased risk for miscarriage, but I’ve had two chemicals in a row now.

@realbeauty86 If it makes you feel any better my understanding is that with a chemical pregnancy you won’t need a d&c. Obviously your doctor will know what is best for you and I know mine likes to double check hcg levels and do an ultrasound, but I hope that fact can maybe relieve any fear or anxiety you may be having.

@Weemcb26 I’m sorry about your previous loss. I hope the due date is a good omen for you as well!

Teafortwo - I've not had any IUI's, did you mean to tag Pinkcupcakes? x

It’s not more so not from this, it’s because of past pregnancies where I should’ve checked to see if I needed a dnc but I was so depressed that I didn’t go back. Just pretty much going to make sure I’m ok to hold a baby. That’s all. And this chemical pregnancy stuff is new to me. Never had one but I guess I do not

Definitely think it’s a good idea to get checked... you need to take care of yourself! Hoping you appointment goes well and everything checks out. I had the same feeling with my chemical about still hoping for a bfp. Even after the bleeding stopped 6 days later part of my hoped that miraculously when I go for my appointment on Monday they’ll find a baby. I’ve given up on that hope now though. Losing pregnancies sucks.

Think Iv deffo got my bfp ladies
