I’ve just rang gp and they told me to call back this afternoon to see if I can get an appointment, I can’t even speak to a doctor, here you can only got to the early assessment unit after you’ve seen a midwife around 10 weeks, tbh it’s all a bit rubbish here

I would think with your history of ectopic they should be monitoring you from day one. That's what they do here. You are at a higher risk of another ectopic (even with healthy pregnancy in between) so they should be checking for your doubling rate and a placement scan (way before 10 weeks!) Demand a blood test and a repeat blood test after 48 hours when you speak to him. If you are on Facebook I recommend a group
https://www.facebook.com/groups/627078287330503/?ref=share

If it doesn't come up the group name is 'TTC after an ectopic.' Or you can visit the main Ectopic Pregnancy Trust for lots of info on trying for future pregnancies.
Emma I'll pm you so we can chat any time too xxx

@scuba just wanted to say thank you for your post about age. I’m 38 and my husband is almost 42. I’ve been feeling discouraged the last few days that maybe we are too old for a second, but our family doesn’t feel complete just yet.

@emma I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I hope your husband comes around and you can try again.

@lawrence My husband's sister fell pregnant naturally with her second at 43 and a friend at 45 (surprise baby!). I'm not giving up but appreciate we might need some help after 6 months if nothing happens.

Right now I'm baffled with my very sharp stabbing ovulation pains at 14/15DPO. No sign of spotting hitting the tissue. What does it mean?!?!?! Lolol xx

Laurence I’m 36 to 37 and my husband is 39 and we never had a child. Age is just a number and as you said if you don’t feel complete why to go by what society thinks? And I’m pretty sure there are millions of women who never had a child at this age and there is no one that can tell them they are old... We are as old as we feel and if you feel you can do this then go for it!

@Emma - So sorry about your chemical. Those suck!

hello there everyone! Im new to this site and new to the TTC tribe! Ive researched non-stop and currently on the 2 week wait. I had no idea this would be some sort of mental torture! lol We have only ttc this month and im hoping we get lucky. Im at 6 DPO and AF is due on the 22nd. I never thought i wished to miss my period? lol So happy to read along the threads and it just makes it more exciting! hope everyone gets their BFPs!!! have a great week ahead!

@nicole welcome! Good luck! Yes mental torchure is a great discription! xx

Wow, I missed reading this post over the weekend (my son was sick with a stomach bug) and I'm trying my best to catch up and get to know all the ladies here!

@scuba: I wouldn't lose hope just yet until AF officially arrives!
@emma: I'm so very sorry to hear about your chemical...
@nicole: welcome and good luck! TTC is very torturous HA!
@Sam: I still see a very faint positive on your tests!

AFM: Thanks for all the welcomes. I am probably around 5dpo as I don't know exactly which day I ovulated, I only know when I was fertile due to watery cm. I am having dull aches and cramping, so probably getting my hopes up thinking its implantation pains?
I ordered my box of easy@home pregnancy tests and they're supposed to arrive today! I'm a nut when it comes to testing, but I am going to try to hold out until at least 9dpo... which I already know I don't have the will power to wait that long HA! AF is expected around the 22nd-24thish (my cycle lengths vary).

Last night was 10dpo and I got the pink wipe after a pee and when I wiped again a little pinkish brownish glob....holy balls. Did I just get implantation bleeding?
