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

[bobster]

Thanks Phez. I'm so nervous about tomorrow. My pregnancy symptoms have all disappeared over the last few days and I don't have the doppler to check the HB. Just have a feeling somethings wrong. Scared to even go to the scan to find out.

I also did a pregnancy test today just for some reassurance and the test line was much lighter than the control line, and before it was way darker Panicking now. I know i'm crazy to do a test at 12 weeks. Hope its not a missed mc as they seem so common from reading on here. Sorry to be so negative.

Maybe your HCG is too high for the test? I've heard of ladies on here having the "hook effect" on their tests. FX for you. I would think if you had a missed mc, your hormones would be dropping and causing some sort of symptoms. Hopefully they are just levelled out right now, since the fetus takes over making it's own hormones around this time, so you are feeling good.

Bobster, Mackjess is right. I'm a scientist and I know all about hook effect, too much causes an overload and creates a lighter test. Don't panic hun. And people tend to post more about mmc on these sites, they are pretty rare in a "normal" population. Try and get some sleep, hopefully tomorrow all your fears will be allayed.

Having a doubtful day today....Wednesday is first test date (10 dpo and when my AF should start). Hope DH will tell me later I still smell pregnant! Just had a shower so will take some time but this is my favourite symptom even if it's a bit primal!

 

[bobster]

Thank you both. Hope it is this hook effect. I am so scared. Will update later either way.

Not long now phez. Men can sometimes sense a change better than us. When I told my OH he said he already knew so you never know x

How did you sleep hun? Had a terrible night sleep, son fell out of bed and general insomnia, at 2.30am was wondering if you were awake and worrying! You'll be thankful when today is over, cant believe you're 12 weeks already.
GOOD LUCK

 

[bobster]

Just to let you know it went well. I will update with pics later on. Thanks for the support both of you

 

[mackjess]

Yay Bobster!!

Phez, sorry you had a booger of a night. I hate it when I can't sleep. FX it is a symptom for you. =)

Oh that's brilliant news! Can't wait to see the pics!!!

I'm just so caught up in thinking I'm pregnant this month, it keeps me awake. And worrying what will happen to my bbt if I don't get enough rest. You can hopefully see the result on the graph. Can you guys see the thumbnail? Measured temp during the day, it was ridiculously high and I'm not sick. Hurry up Wednesday

 

[bobster]

Hiya everyone- sorry about short update earlier just wanted to let you know asap.
Thanks Phez for thinking about me last night. You're right I didn't sleep well and this morning got myself into a right panic, and then OH got panicky too and we were all a tiz by the time we got there.

Anyway it went well. The NT measurement was 1.4 mm which is normal. They also took bloods to get a downs risk but won't find out those results until a week or so, they post results if low risk and ring us if high risk.

Anyway attached are some pics. Feel so happy and relieved. I guess this proves the hook effect as my test yesterday was very faint! Thanks for your support ladies as always.

Phez, I'm rooting for you.

 

[bobster]

Oh and forgot to add, they changed my date to 3 days ahead so that means my original guess was right and I conceived on the last day of ewcm so according to the shettles method I'm having a BOY! I kinda already had the feeling it was going to be a boy and I think the ultrasound looks boy-like... if thats possible hehe! So 12+5 today yipeeee

Mrs Phez when are you going to test?

 

[mackjess]

That round head makes me think boy! 1.4 is a great measurement. Thanks for the update and new pics!

 

[bobster]

Good luck on wednesday Phez. Have you had a slight dip today? Implantation dip?

Ah I'm welling up here! What a great picture, does look like a boy to me too!
Thanks for rooting for me. I'm gonna do a test tomorrow I've decided. Got 3 left, so one at 9, 10 and 11 dpo, then if I get 2 lines I'll splash out on a digi. That's a big IF!

 

[MrsPhez]

BTW I had a dip yesterday at 7dpo but not trusting this mornings temp after my bad night but measured them after relaxing at home today it was very high 98.86 or something. Did I say this already, deja-vous here...
Sorry to keep hounding ladies but can you see thumbnail chart? I'm guessing not...

 

[bobster]

Ooooch I'm so excited for you Phez! Maybe use wee from afternoon though as a day can make a big difference at 9dpo. I always found evening wee better but I'm sure everyone differs. Can't wait to hear an update!

 

[mackjess]

I can see your chart Phez, I've just never charted before so I'd have no idea what I was talking about.

Excited for you to test!! FX for you.

Glad you can see it, don't worry if you don't understand it. A little background (if you're interested!)
Basically after that vertical line (which is ovulation day) temps will be a lot higher than those pre o. I'm hoping temps will go even higher which is known as triphasic. You don't really want to see a big slump in temp, can be implantation but can also mean the witch is on her way. The longest luteal phase I have had since mc is 11 days and tommorro is 9 so even without testing I'll have a good idea based on that. If the witch isnt here by Thrsday, it's looking good!

 

[mackjess]

Thank you, now also crossing my fingers for no temp drops!
