@starlight I'm not buying anymore tests now. I think I'll wait until the bleeding stops and then test to see if it's gone negative. I'm hoping early pregnancy unit will book me in for bloods today, but considering that they've not answered their phone for the last 2 days I wont hold my breath. Pretty sure this is just a very slow and fortunately painless miscarriage

@beck I don’t think the test looks lighter. It looks almost the exact same as the previous one. There’s still hope!
@JL I would be excited and thrilled to have a baby with my SO. And I would love that baby so very much. It’s just such a hard decision, because I’m getting older and I had my two oldest right after high school. I’m finally making decent money and paying off debts. Daycare is so expensive. I’m just worried that another baby is going to cause so much stress as far as money goes. Not to mention that my SO already seems frustrated sometimes that we are limited on what we can do because I always have my three year old and I don’t like to get babysitters. He’s so used to coming and going since he has never had kids. It would just be a huge lifestyle change for him. So that’s why I put a time limit on it. If I don’t conceive by my appointment in May, then I’m getting surgery. I’ve had surgery once and it failed, so this will be more permanent. Leaving it up to fate! We would love a baby very much, but we will be ok if it doesn’t happen.

@beck, I am so sorry. I hope it isn’t and that you can get blood done soon.

@momma, that makes sense. I tell my husband that if we have a couple more kids there will be no point to me working because all of my money will go to daycare. We are paying double what we paid for our daughter as a baby because we moved states. It must be so hard coming from different situation with your SO. He would definitely be awoken so to speak once a baby comes along. I didn’t know you had put a time limit on it! Maybe I need to try to look at this as it is out of my hands. We can do everything we think is right when it comes to going about ttc, but if it isn’t the right time it just isn’t going to happen for us. We have to leave it up to fate.

AFM Well, I had another temp rise this morning, but no BFP yet. Hoping the temp rising is a sign that I will get a positive in a few days. I had a 10 day luteal phase last cycle but it was my first cycle PP. that means AF is due Friday, but really who knows since this is only my 2nd cycle.

Good morning ladies. I haven't been here in about a week. We are all over our various illnesses, and I am in my fertile days. I haven't really been temping, or using OPKS this cycle. I'm trying to be more relaxed about everything. Beck and Lissa, I'm sending you love. Good luck to you all.

Just back from EPU, had an internal scan which showed nothing which I expected as I’m not even 4 weeks yet. They’ve taken bloods and if it’s over 100 I have to go back Saturday to have more done and go from there. I keep praying that maybe it’s not the pregnancy ending but I just think I’m kidding myself

So after having the vaginal ultrasound I’m not sure if he shifted something or what but my bleeding has stopped. Of course I’ll never know if this is a coincidence or not I hope it’s a good sign and I just had some crazy breakthrough bleeding or something. We’ll know tomorrow if my results are negative on bloods

@kelly A relaxed approach is so nice. I keep forgetting to temp this cycle. Hopefully I’ll remember closer to O day and during my TWW.
@beck I can’t wait to find out the results of your blood test tomorrow. Wishing you all the luck!
@JL Another temp rise is a good thing. I hope you get your BFP!

Ladies. Looks like some very promising BFPs are on there way. Congrats to those who recieved theirs.

I'm 11dpo and waiting to test if AF doesn't come by Saturday I'll test then.

@bug good luck on Saturday with your test! I pray it's positive

AFM: bleeding started again last night/early morning. My cervix is high and firm but still got blood when I wipe. It's so odd, it's too red, too long and too light to be a period, but when I say light it's not, it's just that my period is usually 1 day of light, 2 days of heavy a day of medium and light again. This has been consistent these 6 days, never changing colour, nothing. EPU will ring this morning if my results are negative but if not I have to stay in limbo until Saturday morning when I go back for more tests, which I then wont hear from over the weekend either - ugh! So much limbo!!

Got some more FRERs coming today, I've saved my FMU to see if there's any progression

FINAL UPDATE: So Hospital have rung back and the HCG levels are very low so they don't want to do a 48 hour test they want to see me in a week, which I'm assuming is to track my HCG back to zero, so I'm going to log this bleeding as a period and start the TTC journey again, here goes cycle 4, let's hope my body can figure it out better this time. I've continued to take my B6 a B-complex vitamins to help my luteal phase throughout this ordeal so hopefully that works! Good luck ladies :)
