just ordered the clearblue digi ones! pack of 20, when did you say i should start testing? we have conceive plus too so hopefully we have a lucky month after this af.
appointment is at 2.45pm on friday, thanks hun that is lovely x
You will be in my thoughts then! I think most women ovulate about 14 days after AF, please correct me if Im wrong. 12 days after my AF i used one, line was faint so not ov, so i just did every day until the line was a deep pink and me and hubbie went for it for a couple of days and then I was pg! Sounds simple i think we were lucky that it happened first month we tired- this is also the only thing i have to hold on to in the hope i might be a mummy one day! Instructions on pack are v clear i used the superdrug ones. good luck honey xxx
okidoke well i'll aim to start around day 12 then, i got the digi ones altho they are a bit pricey so if it doesn't work for us this month i will get superdrug ones next time
conceive plus is a fertility lubricant, it's ph balanced to create a good environment for sperm etc, we used it on our 2nd month ttc and worked for us!
well i didn't have great news at the hospital. one of my blood tests tested positive for an antibody that causes blood clotting during pregnancy. apparently it is quite a common cause for second trimester miscarriages. basically i have to have another blood test 12 weeks from mc. so in a few weeks time. to test again as sometimes it can come up high because of the labour/drugs/high bp so i need to see what it is when i have no pg hormones there. when the result comes back (could take a few weeks) we will know where to go next. if it is negative then they don't have a cause. if it is positive then i will be referred to a specialist and my future pregnancies will become high risk, i will have to inject myself daily. and postnatally too. cannot believe it. we wanted answers and now we potentially have one i wish i didn't. so just a waiting game now.
the consultant also said "you know the baby was a girl yes?" NO. no we did not.
truely awful day, feel like i am back at square one. obviously out of the ttc until we know what the situation is. x x
Im so sorry to hear that mrsash24. It sounds like experiencing the loss all over again, what a huge blow. how are you doing this weekend?
I can't believe the insensitivity of just telling you your baby was a girl rather than asking you if you wanted to know. It sounds like you have a long waiting game to play now and i can't imagine how horrible that prospect might feel.
I hope you haven't given up hope. Medicine can be an amazing thing even though it might be so half to have any faith at the moment.
Let us know how you are doing so we can try and support you. love and warm wishes to you and your partner. xxxxxx
I know I really wish she hadn't told us to be honest. It has literally been all I have been able to think about. My anxiety has gone mad again, I have been worrying about this possible antibody (even though she told me it isn't anything to be greatly concerned about in general- I am a huge worrier!)...
Deep down I know that I am only going to be waiting a matter of weeks before we can ttc again, and that even if the next test comes back positive I will have a reason for why my baby was taken from me and have the ability to prevent that happening again. So if I give myself a talking to and focus on that I feel fine. I have heard lots of success stories, my doctor said her friend had 5mcs then tested for this had the injections and now has a little baby. My other friend has a friend who had 3mcs found out about this now has 2 children. So I am thankful I didn't have to go through recurrent mcs before finding out, I cant imagine how heartbreaking that must be.
Anyway sorry for rambling been in my own world this past week and need a little support really. xxxxx Hope you are both well?

looks a bit pricey for a little tube but it does last ages and you might not even need to use it for long hopefully! x x
