It's been 7 weeks since mc but still not af...when to ring the GP?

[mackjess]

thanks everyone

bobster how are you doing today?

How long do your doctors/nurses take to call you with results? I had my blood test Monday and they said the doctor still hasn't reviewed it yet 3 days later. Maybe I need to find a new doctor that isn't so busy.

Wow, that's kinda crappy. Mine took 2 days once, but I usually hear the results the next day.

Leaving in one hour for my scan. Really about to just die because I'm so scared.

You're in my thoughts mackjess

That's crap Mlm. Did you do another test with FMU today?

 

[GI_Jane]

I'm really starting to doubt that what I had was IB sorry ladies, just feeling really down about the whole thing.

You never know Jane, it still could be. I am feeling the same way though. To be honest, I felt a little like I was going crazy yesterday with everything that is going on.

Can't wait to hear good news from you Mack!

 

[mlm115]

I did do another test today. It is about the same as yesterday. I'm 99% sure I'm not pregnant, but it would be nice to know what is causing the positive tests. High levels from miscarriage still or maybe even a chemical? Not sure.

 

[bobster]

MLM thats rubbish that you dr hasnt reviewed your results yet have you pestered them over the phone? Keep ringing. Hopefully tomorrow you'll have some answers. Do your new tests look the same as the first one? Maybe post one on here? I've heard loads of people say they got days of light tests before they noticed it getting darker. Could you be earlier than you thought?

Mackjess- my thoughts were with you today. How did it go? I hope everything was ok for you. Please update us soon so we know you are ok and everything is good with you.

Jane- so sorry you're having a bad day. Have you done another test today? I only got a barely there positive on 11dpo so you are still sooo early. But if it isn't to be this month you will find out soon and you will have another shot next month so try not to worry. It will happen.

I'm still bleeding. Going to call the dr tomorrow to see if I can find out whats going on. It has tapered off a little but it keeps doing that and then coming back. Seems to come out more when I have a wee. Worried I might have fibroids or something as they can bleed, although they didn't say they saw anything when I had a scan with the first mc.. but I don't think this is a proper period as its usually darker and thicker with lots of cramps. I'm panicking that i've got something wrong with me

 

[mlm115]

Maybe I'll take one more hpt tomorrow and post it. Thanks Bobster.

Try not to panic, because as we all know everyone's body reacts to miscarriage so differently that maybe this is "normal" for you. Let us know what your doc says though!

 

[mackjess]

I'm annoyed. When I called to make my first prenatal appt, the lady scheduling it said my doc likes to wait till 6 weeks so she can see something and hear the heartbeat. So she counted out 6 1/2 weeks to schedule me. So I'm all geared up for the ultrasound, but no. I had to schedule that for week 8, she doesn't do them this early. Oy. She did do bloodwork, so hopefully I get results tomorrow. Haven't had a lot of symptoms yet so at least getting those results will be reassuring. I don't feel pregnant anymore because my symptoms have faded.

 

[mlm115]

Ahhh! That sucks Mackjess. Good that you'll get the blood test reassurance though. They should've told you there wouldn't be an ultrasound though.

 

[mackjess]

They got me all excited because they said they did that at the 6 weeks apt. I was like cool. I'm ok waiting till 8 weeks though if it means seeing and hearing more. I even had tissue in my shirt pocket cause I know I'll cry if I hear a heartbeat.

 

[mackjess]

bobster try not to panic. it could be also elevated estrogen or something simple causing the bleeding. please do bug those doctors to see what is going on.

 

[bobster]

Oh no mackjess how frustrating for you! I bet that was awful after all that anxiety waiting for you appointment!

I think it will be worth it though as you will see soooo much more at 8 weeks it will be great. Oh I hope you get your blood results back soon. I'm sure you'll be reassured.

Bless you for taking the tissue lol! You can keep it for next time. Less than 2 weeks to go now!

Gawd its such a waiting game for everything. Come on babies we want to stop waiting now!!!

 

[bobster]

Yes will ring them tomorrow.. will keep you all posted

 

[mlm115]

You are right, this is all such a waiting game. And it is so hard to be patient!

 

[GI_Jane]

Oh sorry to hear that it was not how you were led to believe mackjess....ah and all the anxiety too...hope you get some reassurance from the blood results today so you can rest your mind and body over the weekend. Good thinking going armed with the tissue so sweet. I'd be wiping it on my sweater sleeve.

Same for you Mlm, bloody doctors- lets hope you hear today.

I think me being down is my own doing. I've been testing every morning just to be disappointed. I just can't help it- last time I got such a strong positive at 8dpo- I hadn't tested any earlier but I thought it would be the same this time.
My DH was right- I should have kept my promise not to test until af was due/late it would save some heartache!

Why can't we be those women who don't know their pregnant- go to have a bowl movement and find a baby down the pan! LOL

 

[GI_Jane]

Bobster, it's easy for me to say try not to worry but I know you will. I hope you are able to get in to see the doctor today. Please let us know what he thinks and recommends for you.

You ladies are in my thoughts.x

 

[mlm115]

Jane, I'm going to try really hard to take the advice of your DH and my DH and wait til I miss af to test again. It would definitely save a lot of anxiety!

I would post my last hpt, but it is almost identical to the first one I posted so its not worth it. I did get a positive opk on Sunday, so that's my only hope for this month. We were doing smep, so bd every other day, the last day being when I got the positive opk. So I may have stopped too soon, but with the stuff going in with me I definitely did not feel like it. So it looks like its on to next month for me! I think I'm ok with it though, since I need a little break to relax a little.

Also, thank you all again for how supportive you are. It has helped me so much to be able to talk on here!

Got a question for anyone who's had late af after m/c (original question).....it's been 5 weeks for me now with no af (bit of brown spotting 10 days ago) but I've had mild ovary twinges for over a week, and af like pain since yesterday. Did any of you have this before af?
Been doing opks and charting, still pre-ov stage.....no pos opk or temp change.

Thinking of you Mackjess and Bobster...hope all is well....
