Trying before AF?

[twister7]

Aw twister wait till fri and do a frer, I'm just back from getting my bloods took get results on Friday. X

What's that for then Cheryl just to confirm pregnancy?
When I fell pregnant in March, I rang the doctors to tell them and asked for a blood test and they would not give me one, they said that HPT were that reliable that they did not do them anymore ( at least in the area I live), I asked several times as I just wanted some confirmation I was that supprised lol, but they wouldn't, they said that the cost of a blood test was not justified because of the accuracy of a HPT and that I would be booked in to a midwife at 9 weeks, never really got that far as I was dealt with by the EPAU because of what happend from 7 week +....

You got any new symptoms?
xxxxxxxxx

 

[twister7]

Oh and what does FRER mean, Im aware it's a pregnancy test but Ive never seen them anywhere, I just have my bundle of IC's and some Tesco brand tests? ( got a feeling that's a really dumb question lol)

Will I deffiently ovulate 14 or so days after my period??

It's impossible to say Im afraid, Im in my first cycle after my first period and I dont know if I am batting or bowling as far as O'ing is concerned and I'm on CD32. Think this follows suit with a lot of ladies in this thread. My advice would be expect to be fustrated and confused lol

Twister a frer is a first response early response test. They are the most sensitive and most reliable tests to do before AF was due to show. I tested with a frer at 12dpo and it was positive!! Make sure if you buy a first response that it is indeed an EARLY RESPONSE. I managed to buy a pack that were just ONE STEP and were only 100miu sensitive whereas the early response are 25miu!!!

And I was the same! I haven't had a blood test or even a urine sample this time I'm pregnant, the midwife just said that seen as I've done 5 hpts that's enough! What if I was lying lol!! There are some weird people out there who would do that!!

My pregnancy was exactly the same, doctor said, u have done 4 hpt's that's enough, and my first midwife appt wasn't til 10 weeks and scan til 13! I said what if I was crazy and made it up!?

Twister keep doing tests, those frer are good u never know! X

Would like to advise against peeing on sticks in the lavatory of a plane... Especially when you hit turbulence...

AFM Im all deflated I stupidly got my hope up, I posted my HPT on here in the photo gallery section and everyong said it they could see it and BFP, also put it on countdown to pregnancy had 83% positive (25 positive and 5 negative). But this morning's test shows a line alright but its grey....

Back to obsessing about dieting again lol.....

Hugs to all..
xxxxxxxxxx

Hopefully that line was just a trick! Try a FRER hun. I deffo see a pink line on that other test.

I'm still so happy for Bailey and Cheryl! Sticky time!

AFM -Love all you girls! Sorry I've been so rubbish with this thread recently...

Just got back from the docs and I had another really lovely GP. Where have they been hiding these nice doctors all this time?! Anyways, we talked through what had happened and she said before she refers me to the Women's hospital she would like to do some blood tests. She said ultimately she thinks I will get referred to the Women's, but she didn't want to refer me and then they do blood tests and they pick up a basic problem that could have been treated by the GPs. I think that's fair and I'm in no rush at the moment so a couple of weeks aren't going to make any difference. So my blood test is on 20th August and then we'll see how it goes from there.

I feel like it's been really hard to be positive lately. I want to break away from how down I've been feeling.

However, I really feel like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and today I'm starting to feel more like my old self. It makes such a difference when people take you seriously and are geniunely empathetic

I'm so lucky in so many ways; got a wonderful husband, a pretty big roof over my head, we've both got jobs - (they're rubbishy jobs but still), got lovely family and friends (including my gorgeous BnB girls), got my stinky ass cat, got fantastic happy memories to remember.

Aww flapjack that's a lovely message and something we should all remember, it's easy to forget everything we should be grateful for when ttc takes over, I mean 2 years ago I was blissfully unaware of all of this taking birth control completely head over heels from meeting my OH and falling in love and I shouldn't forget I have a lot to be happy about! Sometimes it's hard to see anything positive but I'm sure we all ave something to be thankful for and if anything positive came from my MC it's that I now know 100% I have the most amazing man in my life and I can't wait to marry him, couldn't live without him!

Anyway enough of that lol how's everyone tonight? Anyone embarking on their 2 week wait like me? Cheryl and Bailey when did u start getting symptoms?

 

[horseypants]

i am! well.... not quite yet. i think i will o before the weekend.

flapjack, im sorry you're feeling down. i read something today in the new york times though that argued against keeping a PMA. so there's that for the off times too! hugs.

twister. what a tease your pee stix have been. yes. get one of the first response early tests and do one tomorrow morning. that way, you will know whether the intial one was an evap. i really cant believe it was, so it's not just you! -but ya already know that....

hope everyone else is doing well today

It's cos I've had 2 losses and hav fell pg straight away without a af inbetween to make sure its going the way it shud.. frer means first response test. Xx

 

[FoxMommy]

I had bleeding for about a week until July 29th ish with my natural mc..I've been baby dancing lots since aug 2.... I know it's way too early to even consider testing but im wondering when I should start as I'm hoping for no aunt flow!

 

[baileybubs]

Have you been doing any opk's fox? Sorry if you have already said, goldfish memory lol!!

Flapjack - thank you hun and such a lovely message, that is definately good PMA and I really believe you will get that beautiful rainbow baby soon xxxxxx

Emmy - I started with sore boobs at 6dpo as well as achey twinges. By 7dpo I had a full feeling in my uterus like it was heavy. Then 8dpo was when I woke up at 2am severe cramps and diarrhoea, as well as dizziness. After that everyday felt like AF was coming, needing to pee all the time and lots of cm!! Oh and a worse memory than usual with preggo brain lol!!

 

[FoxMommy]

No I haven't. I'm trying to go with a no stress approach but I just want to test over and over every single day until I get a BFP. Just in case, so I don't miss a moment of knowing and being happy.

I know that feeling!! Wanting to test all the time, but those BFN's really start to get u down after a while, waiting to test when u cud possibly get a BFP is best cus it cuts down the amount of BFN's u have to see...I am going to try and hold out till 14dpo to test, I might possibly test with a frer at 10dpo if I get desperate! If you have a 28 day cycle count the first day of your miscarriage as cd1 and by cd26 or 27 if u havnt got ur AF I would do an early response test, it's best to wait till u miss a period, but as this is ur first cycle you won't know when that would be really, I would try ur best to leave it 2 weeks and then test xx

Morning ladies,

Flapjack - so pleased that you have a good GP. They are we and far between but make things much easier.

Cheryl - it's good that they are givin you a blood test. At least it feels like they are doing something!

Fox - after my first mc I had a 6 weeks first cycle followed by a 16 day one so anyone's guess in terms of O day.

AFM - got a smiley face this morning CD12 so I am glad to be headin home tonight. Test was smeary again so seems that might be just how they look for me...

 

[twister7]

Morning ladies....

Nice to hear from you Flapjack, but have to begin by telling you off for aplologizing for not been around, you numpty. We all understand your need for a bit of time out
Really pleased you have found yourself a nice and understanding GP, it makes all the difference to feel like you have someone fighting your corner and are not just another number in the waiting room!!
It's so refreshing in my experience to find someone who has the knowledge but also someone who actually knows how to put you at ease and have a calming and friendly manner, sometimes I think that a understanding and friendly bedside manner can just do as much good as writting you a pescription, I always feel more positive when I think someone has actually listened.
Good for you for finding the positives at such an emotional straining time, I think you are a lot stronger than you give yourself credit for..
I just know you will reach your goal and you and your OH will get your beautiful rainbow baby....

Nice to hear you feeling all loved up Emmy

Horsey hope you get your positive OPK soon xxx

Fox... YAY for loads of you never quite know where you are in these whacky cycles after MC

Cheryl everything crossed your blood work is all ok xxx

Storm.. for smiley, happy xxx

AFM just trundling along, going to wait till weekend to re test if I decide too, I now have a funny feeling I am O'ing lol, waiting for OPK in the post..xxx

 

[mrs_swj2be]

hi every one.

storm - smiley=lots of lol

twister - keep testing fx'd for you

flapjack - you dont neeed to appologise we all understand. glad to hear you have got a good dr. hopefully the blood test will show somthing & they will be able to help you.

horsey - fx'd for O

AFM - sorry i havnt been around i have been a bit down. but feeling better now.
i started OPK's last thursday cd 16 (as had to wait for the post), i usually O cd18 but got nothing each day which i expected being my first cycle since mc. also my OH and i hadnt really put the effort in since the MC so was beating my self up a bit.
OH and i chatted last night as we havnt since cd7 and sort of agreed that we would just relax this month as it felt like a chore.
woke up this morning and force of habbit did my wee in a sample pot and went back to bed.
one thing led to another and it was nice to feel close to him again in a loving way not as a chore. (sorry tmi)
went back to the bathroom and did my OPK and unbelievably i have O'd so feeling quite good about that.
so will have to do pleanty more this week

loads of to everyone
