Trying before AF?

[londongirl]

Hi girls
Just hoping for some advice/opinions. I posted this as a seperate post, but I think you may be able to help me in terms of understanding about HCG decreasing etc.

At 11 weeks pregnant I had my first scan and it showed the baby had died at 6.5 weeks old, so I had a D&C at 11.5 weeks. I will show you the timeline:

9th May - D&C
10th May - BFP still strong (i.e. lots of HCG in system)
22nd May - BFP very faint (i.e. HCG has gone waaaaaaaaay down)
1st June - ovulation test looked positive (a pee on the stick one)
2nd June - ov test still looks positive
2nd June - BD for the first time since D&C
3rd June - BD again
12 June - randomly decided to do a HPT and it has come up with a faint second line. I guess I must be around 9dpo - if in fact I did ov at all?!

Do you think this could still be remnants of HCG in my system following the D&C 5 weeks ago?

thank you xx

PS I don't mind you saying it's not pregnancy. after the miscarriage I refuse to get so emotionally involved and hopeful again

Hi londongirl,

So sorry for your loss. Did you ever get a bfn to show all the hcg was out of your system? Sometimes opk's can be positive when you are pg, so your positive opk's could be from the remnants of hcg.....but that doesn't mean to say its not a new pg. If your last hpt before O was really faint then I would think you did actually O and it's very possible it's a new pg. but I don't want to say for certain coz it is still possible it's leftover hcg.
What test did you use to get your new BFP?

 

[londongirl]

Thanks Bailey. I used the superdrug ones because I found them the most sensitive with my first pregnancy. I never got a complete BFN but that's because I only tested once every 5 days or so and I stopped testing after I got the really faint one 3 weeks ago.

I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens. Thanks for your thoughts!!!

 

[baileybubs]

No problems, I would get an Asda one maybe in a couple of days an test, they are 15uml and are the most sensitive ones I've found you can buy in shops. They are cheap too! The digital ones aren't as sensitive but if you get one of them and wait til weekend to use it then hopefully it will say pregnant! Have you had any symptoms?

 

[nevergivingup]

Thanks twister, its the first good one Ive ever got, all of mine are usually stark white, not even a faint line so I'm well happy!! Just grabbed my oh too coz its our day off, I want to catch that egg haha!! Just hoping it wasnt too late to bd coz it was 2 nights ago we last dtd.

THAT OPK IS SAYING,"Why are you staring at me, GO CATCH THAT EGG!!!!"

 

[baileybubs]

Lol, thanks never giving up! I grabbed the oh, glad it was both our day off!! So hopefully caught that eggy!

Hey Hunnie... My story is very similar to yours...

I was 12weeks and 4 days when a routine scan showed a blighted ovum, so I had a d&c on the 27th of April.
For nearly 6 weeks I tested every day with the same ics and there started off really dark and then stayed faint for agess.... On CD38 (3rd June) I got a BFN. And thought woohoooo finally thank god for that.

Then on the 4th of June I got a faint BFP and I just thought oh no, why can't it just stay negative and then my new cycle come, so we can try again...

I went to the doctors who gave me medication for a infection as she thought I may of had left over tissue from the d&c.

Then my lines continued to just be there, so on the 6th I went back and demanded a blood hcg test and a scan to rule out any retained tissue.

The 7th my test was wayyyyy darker! And I did a digital which confirmed pregnant!!!... I've tested everyday since and it's getting darker.

So in my opinion it could very well be a new pregnancy, the only way to know for sure is to keep testing, if it gets darker then it could very well be a new pregnancy... But only way to know is to test or go for bloods x

Congrats Jaggers!! Very exciting!! I'm on cycle 2 cd15 and look at todays opk!! Just bd'd too lol, its amazing how poas can actually make me horny haha!! we last bd'd Saturday night though so I hope we catch the eggy!! (left is the test line btw)

Wow! That is one fab OPK! I'm CD15 tomorrow wish me luck that I see my smiley face!

Hi Londongirl - sorry for your loss. I don't have any advice really, just sending you some positive thoughts and hope you get your sticky bean.

I've realised I'm actually lying, I'm cd17 not cd15!! Ive just done 3 days of 13 hour shifts so my brains gone to mush and I seem to have lost 2 days lol!! But I have no real idea how long my cycles are as they were 28 but that was due to bc pill. I got pg straight after coming off it so it's all a bit if a guessing game for me at the mo!

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Ooooo fingers crossed Hunnie

that is SOOO EXCITING!!!! congratulations!

the reason i tested was i felt a bit nauseas when thinking about food and i thought... hmmm that reminds me of when i was... hold on!? but i'll see what happens tomorrow when i test. how are you feeling about your pregnancy? i'm kind of scared!!

 

[Babee_Bugs]

I am scared, nervous, an emotional wreck.... I'm trying not to be excited, because I'm just full of absolute dread

I'm getting a scan tomorrow and bloods took, so I might get to know more of what's going on hopefully... I'll be happy and feel relaxed once I see a baby in there... I had a blighted ovum last time and it was awful to just see a empty sac

 

[jaggers]

Everything is going to go awesome Babee_Bugs! Keep us updated on how your tests go!

No worries hun! GL!

GL Babee - I've got everything crossed for you!

AFM - I got this lovely smiley face this morning and BDed straight after!

 

[twister7]

Aye up ladies...

This is a bit random and gross but guess were all used to that here
When I wiped this morning I had a big clump of what I can only describe as Snot CM, had a slight tinge of yellow to it too, I have never had this before as far as I know and just wondered if anyone else has had it and if it indicated anything to get excited about lol?

[baileybubs]

Hmmm not sure about that one twister, never had it before myself. Have you asked doctor google lol?!

 

[baileybubs]

And yay flapjack!!! Haha, what are we like bd'ing straight after getting opk's! As well as grabbing the oh straight after my positive opk yesterday, he also had to do his duties today on his break from work haha! I will catch that egg!!! And if we both get pg this month then we can be bump buddies and our babies will have similar edd's!!

 

[flapjack10]

Deffo have to be bump buddies Bailey! FX!

I just got in from work and did another stick and the smiley face is still there! I shouted down, "it's still there!" hubby was like "wanna do it?" and started taking off his pants lol!

Afternoon delight

 

[baileybubs]

Hahaha I've now got that song in my head! Love it!

My oh is loving this though, he comes home from work on a break and instead of being nagged to do the washing or summat, he gets afternoon delight instead haha!
Just wait another few weeks and when I'm pregnant again (notice how I say 'when' not 'if' lol) and I'm gonna be bossing him around getting him to do everything and not so bothered about anymore

 

[flapjack10]

Yup, they best make hay whilst the sun shines! I'm the same, WHEN I get my BFP - I'll be a "no go zone"

I think I'll be far too scared to BD for aaaaages WHEN I'm pg especially after the MC. Also, I'll be far too tired if last time is anything to go by!
