No symptoms and digital test wrong?!

[SamS_TTCPink]

Yay! I can actually post in the pregnancy section!!! 😀😀

I am 4 weeks 2 days today and AF is now officially not here, so I thought I would use the Clear blue digital test I had just to confirm things and check that it was picking up how far along I am. But, it said "pregnant 1-2weeks" and it should have said at 2-3 according to the instructions and how far along I know I am. 😕 I've also had NO symptoms but a fair amount of "cramping". With all the other boys I was nauseous and had food aversions and sore boobs. Should I be worried that something's wrong??

Mumofsix 1-2 (up to 200) is fine for 4+2, you could just be at the higher end of the 1-2 limits. It should change to 2-3 (200-2000) in the next day or so. Good luck xx

Ps. I had a pg in January, every symptom going from the week my period was due, felt awful and it ended in blighted ovum. My rainbow pg the month after I had no initial symptoms for the first few weeks, now I feel awful! Don't worry, you'll feel rotten soon enough ;) xx

It happened to me as well, I was on the verge of being 2-3 and got a 1-2 instead. I freaked out a bit but here I am, 24 weeks along! I preferred FRER actually so I could see the line progression other than trusting the digital, even when you dissect them (who would do such an obsessive thing anyway?? :)) they don't give anything away! Don't worry too much and huge congrats on your BFP! x

I also had a shocking amount of symptoms with my chemical.

[SamS_TTCPink]

OMG!! I am now freaking out! Just had a drs app and told him I was pregnant and he did a test and it was practically negative! He was squinting at it and said maybe there was a faint line but defiantly not a true positive!! He didn't seem bothered and isn't checking my HCG levels or anything, he has referred me for a "dating scan" but I can't get in for 2 weeks!

I would check with FRER if you want to know for sure. FRER gives you the clearest darkest line. What are you currently testing with (other than CBE digi)? To get a 1-2 weeks at 4+2 is no big deal. I think CBE considers anything under 150 MIU 1-2 weeks. So you could be at 180 and if you drank a lot of water or ate a salty meal then you could easily dilute a 180 down below 150. I like to do progressions and try to stay with the same brand (something cheap). I think Walmart has FRER for a reasonable price but those are very pricey!! If you want check your CBE digi again in 3 or 4 days and make sure you don't dilute it.

Also what DPO did you get your first positive test?

[SamS_TTCPink]

I usually use FRER but had a digital at home so thought if use it to "check" and it was fmu so not diluted. I think I will try with the FRER again and see what it says. My DH is cross about how much money I'm spending on tests! Lol! And no Walmart in Aus unfortunately.

I was 11DPO when I got my first positive. And checked at 12DPO and 14DPO! 😉

So I went and bought the First Response "cheaper" tests and it's practically negative too??!

I've spent close to £100 this year on pg tests for 2 pregnancies. Silly really but at the time I needed reassurance. I found 2nd pee of the morning was better, and i wouldn't have a big drink before then. Watching the same brand, even pound/dollar store ones , getting darker was reassuring, but be wary of a slightly lighter line one day sending you into a panic! Good luck xx

[SamS_TTCPink]

It is a bit crazy how much we spend on our POAS addictions isn't it?! 😉 I probably wouldn't have even done it again but after the drs test was practically negative I just had to check at home myself! Now I feel even worse. It's going to be a long 2 weeks before I can get the scan done.

My DH is making things worse too cause he is like "oh well" and not bothered at all. I'm also worried that if anything happens he won't even try again as I was twisting his arm as it was.

Guess I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed that it's all ok and just wait (and also probably retest tomorrow 😉).

I used the regular first response, not the frer, just before af was due and it was really light, got a better line on the frer the following day. FX for you xx

Post some pictures of your line. I also use second morning urine as I find it is more consistent. I too have spent a small fortune on HPT. I never tell my DH about it though. I don't even tell him I am PG until I feel good about the baby not being a chemical.

My DH isn't very empathetic either. The other day I was worried about this PG being twins (I guess there is like a 12% chance) and he says to me "all your what ifs are exhausting". I just looked at him and he knew he had said the wrong thing. I said "Well then maybe you should carry this baby and give birth this time".

This is this mornings test with 2nd mu. AF was due days ago so it's not like it's too early??! There is a faint line, but very faint!! I've still got no symptoms at all and even the cramping I had is gone. I don't "feel" pregnant at all.

I am so worried and DH really doesn't seem to care at all. He even said last night that were never going to have money and it's all my fault because I bought a kitten and keep wanting children!! 😠

Thank goodness I've got this site or I'd have no one to talk to!

And it's the not knowing what's going on that really sux!

[aidansmum]

That FR needs much more HCG than the FRER one, it's not usually positive until the day after your missed period. I would definitely get a pack of 3 FRERs and do then every second day to see if the line is getting darker. But still, a line is a line and you've got one! x

[aidansmum]

Also, my 2MU was always darker than FMU! :)

[SamS_TTCPink]

Thanks aidensmum.
My period is 3 days past due and it was 2nd Morning Urine, but you're right a line is a line still!! Guess I just have to try to stay positive. 😊

[angielorna]

Oh sticky dust being sent your way! I have to tell you, I never really had many symptoms with my pregnancies (successful or not). The only consistent "symptom" I had was fatigue and it didn't start until week 6 or 7.

I understand how hard it is to be in limbo....I'd be shopping around for someone who'd do the ultrasound earlier. But then again, in Canada, I have quite a few options. I'm not sure what it's like where you are. Once I figured out I didn't have to wait months to do it at the hospital, I could get in within a few days.

I'll be thinking of you! I hope all works out. And I hope you swatted DH for his no money comment! (not that I condone marital violence... but sometimes they really DO deserve it :P)

Keep us posted!

Hey, no haven't had a chance or the money to get a FRER... But I kept testing with the cheaper ones I had at home and got 3 positives (and 2 negatives??!) so that's hopefully a good sign. I just wish I'd get some sort of symptom so I "felt" pregnant!
I hate going to the toilet as I'm just waiting to see blood! 😕

Wish I had a crystal ball and could see that everything's going to be ok! 😉

After six kids you wouldn't think I'd be so concerned but this has never happened and I've always "felt" pregnant and just known and always had some type of symptom early on too! Maybe it's just a sign that it's my girl! 💜😉

Mumofsix, big hugs!! I haven't poas for a couple of days but the other day I poas on a FRER (for the 2nd time) and a dollar store one to compare, and the FRER was dark but the dollar store was barely there... I say hang in there, it could be a HPT thing for sure!!!
I also haven't been feeling very many symptoms at all, actually was about to write a thread about it... I mean I had stronger symptoms with PG's I m/ced. :/

[Mrs_Incredible]

Houseofblue ... I had every strong symptom going with my pg in jan/February before af was even due! It was a blighted ovum. This pg I was over 6 weeks before the yucky I feel pg symptoms started. Although I've had a bleed today so back to feeling nervous and worried. Xx

FXed for you Mrs. Incredible!! I wanted to let you know I had HUGE bleeds with DS1 and DS2!!! I mean GUSHING!

With DS1 all was fine until 9-10 weeks and I started gushing brown blood...so bad I had to wear a pad!!! This went on for days, I had an u/s and I could see his little arms and legs waving around. :) It stopped and we never found out why it happened.

With DS2 around weeks 6-7 I was out with DS1 and dh, having a great time on a beautiful summer day in Alexandria, VA when I felt liquid gushing out of me. I panicked a little but figured it was discharge or something....went to an outside bathroom and was devastated when I saw bright red blood in my underwear... and a LOT. It took a few days to taper off, but I had an u/s and all was fine. On the u/s they found a hematoma (sp?)- a pocket of old blood, had no idea why it was there but all was fine.

[SamS_TTCPink]

I had huge bleeds with DS5 & 6 too and they're now beautiful bouncy 3yr old and 22mth old.

I've still got NO symptoms and I'm still worried! 😞 I was even sitting down squeezing my deflated formerly known as breasts tonight and DH asked what I was doing! Lol! I was trying to feel some sort of tenderness but nope, nothing.

I also want this baby so bad, and I really want a Xmas baby that I'm so sure I'm going to lose it (as I never get "what I want"). It's driving me crazy! I need a crystal ball! 😉

Hope things are looking more positive for you Mrs_Incredible.💜

Hi mumofsix, I've got a scan tomorrow afternoon. I had a mc in February and the baby would have been due around my birthday, my dh's 40th and dss's 18th. I really wanted the baby to share my birthday, I was really upset to lose that pg (obviously) and the hope of having a baby on my birthday. Dh wasn't so keen to share his tho. How are you doing? X

Mumofsix...do u still have no symptoms? I feel so good and energetic, not PG at all!!!! Only real symptom is my breasts are slightly bigger (they never get sore during PG, just bigger). I had a teeny tiny bit of crampiness last night which worried and relieved me at the same time, but it went away quickly. It's so weird!!!! Even with my losses I had much stronger symptoms...I'm thinking this is either a very good thing or a very bad thing!
Btw, you made me bust out laughing with the "deflated formerly known as breasts" because yeah, after BFing my boys my breasts are sad little creatures...sad to think how perky I used to be when I was young LOL!

[SamS_TTCPink]

Yep, still NOTHING??!? I don't know whether to be grateful or concerned?! 😕 What worries me the most is I just don't "feel" pregnant and I have always felt pregnant even before a BFP! It scares me.

I did want chocolate today, but I think that's more to do with the fact that I am so tired today cause I just couldn't sleep last night after an argument with DH, and not so much to do with pregnancy.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[WantingPink]

No Hcg doesn't drop suddenly in the first few weeks however, everyones rises a little differently. 2-3 weeks at 5 weeks 2 days I would think is just fine. Remember the CBE digital is also very susceptible to how concentrated your urine is. I usually like to do a progression with the IC tests on second morning urine for about 10 days or so after BPF.

[Houseofblue]

Mumofsix, I would not worry too much...only a blood test can accurately assess hcg levels. I would not trust a urine hcg test for anything other than am I PG or not.

[SamS_TTCPink]

Ok, so I'll try not to worry! 😕

Just wish the dr would do a blood test!! 😡

MumofSix do you have a history of miscarriage or ectopic?

[SamS_TTCPink]

Not ectopic but yes I've had one natural miscarriage, and lost one twin of DS1 pregnancy, and 2 early terminations for medical reasons (I haemorrhaged and would have died if I'd continued with the pregnancy and then one because I had problems with my ovary and what they thought was cancer and said if I'd left it it would have embedded in my bowels) and then was told DS6 would result in miscarriage and there was no way he would make it full term as he has separation of the two sacs and bleeding behind the placenta.

[Houseofblue]

BIG HUGS Mumofsix!!! I've had losses too (4) and am usually an absolute nervous WRECK during early PG, the only reason I think I am not this time is because I am concentrating all of my worries onto my DS2 right now (he has autism but right now it's not the autism but some other health issues we are seeing specialists about)...I am sure once I know for sure DS2 is gonna be fine, my worries will immediately transfer onto the pregnancy (lol). NOT to make light of worrying because I have OCD, anxiety and hypochondria and spend 98% of my life worrying- I know well how awful and terrifying it can be.

What helps me sometimes is to sort of eliminate in my head the "bad" things...for you this would be to think of the things that point towards a healthy pregnancy- so far no ominous signs (knock on wood!), while you don't have many symptoms remember MANY women have very little or no symptoms and have healthy PG's. I don't have many symptoms either...yesterday I had a tiny bit of upset tummy (and by tiny bit I mean BARELY noticeable but because I am on high alert I noticed it), so I take that as a symptom, and whatever little symptoms I have, to be good unless otherwise proven (I know easier said than done!).

My losses have taught me if a PG is going to stick, it will (mine were chromo abnormalities, obviously the situation is different for someone that has a blood clotting disorder or some other such reason for their losses etc).. I try to remember that I have worried myself sick and been completely anal-retentive (took all the right vitamins, didn't each sushi or drink caffeine or eat unwashed veggies or stand near a microwave etc) with some of my PG's that ended in losses, and then with DS3 (who wasn't planned) I was like "eh whatever" in the beginning and he stuck...NOT that not worrying made him stick of course, but the point is we unfortunately really have no (or little) control. Again, easier said than done I know. Just try to get through each day until your u/s, once that day comes hopefully you will have a peace of mined. HUGS xo

[WantingPink]

So it sounds like you don't really have a history of MC or any hormonal issues but what is going on with the hemorrhage? Do they know why you have done that in the past? I know my OB has never offered early Hcg testing for me that is why I like to do the progressions.

[Houseofblue]

know my OB has never offered early Hcg testing for me that is why I like to do the progressions.

I so don't get doctors that are like this^^^^^^...if I called mine and said I really wanted bw they would do it in a heartbeat! smh

[WantingPink]

I am not sure Houseofblue if my doctor would do one or not. I haven't asked and they haven't offered. My biggest concern when I get PG isn't miscarriage as much as it is ectopic. Don't get me wrong... a miscarriage is horrible. But an undiagnosed ectopic can be life threatening and the last thing in this world I would want is for my kids to have to grow up without a mother. My DH thinks I am crazy for worrying so much about ectopic since it is relatively rare but don't we all (as mothers) worry?

[Houseofblue]

Oh believe me I worry about EP too, which is why I like an early u/s around 5/6weeks to make sure everything is where it should be! Obviously to see hb you need 6/7 week u/s. I've never had an EP but have friends that have and wow very scary!

[SamS_TTCPink]

No they don't know why I haemorrhage, I also haemorrhage after labour too and almost died after I delivered the twins. They told my DH to call my parents as they were rushing me off to surgery as they didn't think I'd make it. Pretty scary but since then they've been more prepared to deal with it and a new tablet came out that they "put up me" (TMI) since the twins birth and it helps prevent such a scary event. But no, they don't know why and have never really looked into it or seemed to care why! It's easier for them though than me! Lol!

I'm also worried about ectopic pregnancy! And the fact that you can have no real symptoms unless they do an ultrasound. That's scary!

Ahhh....so much to be worried about! And it never stops even after they're born. Wonder why we do this to ourselves over and over again. 😉

Wow you went through a lot! So glad you're ok Mumofsix!!

[SamS_TTCPink]

Thats good to hear that normally there's spotting Houseofblue, I had a friend with nothing though so she thought it was all ok til she found out at an ultrasound! No spotting, no pain, nothing! That scared me. Hopefully just one of the rare cases though. 😕

I'm more worried about a missed m/c or blighted ovum. They seem not so rare when googling lack of symptoms! I think I just read too much and need to stop asking dr google! Lol!! 😜


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Houseofblue]

Mumofsix, 2 of my losses were a blighted ovum and missed m/c, and with both I had plenty of symptoms and with both I spotted (with the blighted ovum I spotted red and with the missed m/c I spotted light brown). That's scary about your friend's EP. :(
I will say this though... for some reason, with 3/4 of my losses I had a bad "doomed" feeling right after the bfp...like I *knew* they were going to end...the doomed feeling was very different than just being worried and paranoid, which I am all the time.

[SamS_TTCPink]

That's horrible Houseofblue. I'd be a mess of worry and paranoia if I'd been through what you have. Do they know why you had 4 losses?

I just have to stay positive that i haven't had any bleeding or spotting (although with DS5 and 6 I had shocking bleeds!) and hopefully I'll see our bubba right where it should be and with a healthy pounding heartbeat at our scan in 2 weeks time. 😊👍

I must say I do feel "off" today, but the kids have been sick so it might be their "bugs" and I do have a sore throat too.

Mumofsix...BIG HUGS! Is your spotting brown or red or both?

You won't believe this, but I just went to the bathroom and I had a tiny bit of brown discharge (mixed with clear)...my heart sank. Here's the thing though..I've had spotting and it ended in m/c, and I have also had spotting (which turned into gushing and then stopped) and all was fine...so it can truly go either way. It is so upsetting though ((()))

I found this thread that brought me some comfort: brown discharge at 5 weeks - May 2011 Babies - WhatToExpect.com (http://www.whattoexpect.com/forums/may-2011-babies/archives/brown-discharge-at-5-weeks.html)

Mumofsix, is your sharp pain like Ov pains or little jabs in the uterus? I haven't had that this PG but I know for sure I had it with DS3!
I know crazy story right?? I think the thing with cramping and spotting/discharge is they can be connected, in which case it could mean m/c, or they could be two totally separate events, in which case there is a good chance the PG is fine (in other words, the cramping would have happened regardless, and the spotting just happened to be there for another reason).
Oh how I hope that is true (our bodies adjusting to making girls)!!! FXed!!

[SamS_TTCPink]

It's hard to explain, it's more to the left though. 😕

My poor DH! After months of do this, do that, abstain, DTD now, eat this, not that, take this, not that.....now that I've got a BFP but no symptoms and now the spotting, I won't let him anywhere near me!! I know they say DTD doesn't cause miscarriage but some of the biggest bleeds (and I mean gushes!) with DS5 & 6 happened after DTD so I am not going there right now. 😳

I know I had pains in the ov with a bunch of my pregnancies and was told by a nurse it was the corpus luteum (sp?) cyst, the one that occurs on the ovary where the egg was released and provides progesterone during PG until placenta takes over around 9/10 weeks...I have never had an ectopic so they were right. If the pain makes you double over or is unbearable, THAT would be cause for concern! But some sharp twinges are normal, at least in my experience.

Yeah I would def abstain for peace of mind! He can wait!!

[Houseofblue]

Mumofsix, anything new? I have had a little crampiness today and when I wiped (sorry for TMI!) I had clear CM tinged with brown (same thing I had yesterday the one time it happened). Really don't know what to make of it. Just want Tues to get here so I know what's going on kwim?

I'm on my way to hospital. Things aren't looking great, I'm now bleeding, bright red bleeding (not just spotting). I'm so upset. I wanted this so bad, I really wanted a December baby and like you, it was all just the perfect timing and I had it all "worked out" and was looking forward to a little bundle at Xmas time and it all being done by the end of the year. I'm even more certain it is our daughter too and that I'm losing her.

I know it's not over til the hospital sees me and confirms it but it really isn't looking good. 😢

So sorry to hear of your spottings and bleeding Mumofsix and houseofblue.

Mumofsix - I truly hope you and that little one are ok though the bleedings. Keeping my fingers crossed for you and that everything goes well at the hospital. Big hug!

[daisymoo]

oh mumofsix really hope everything is ok. It could just be a normal pregnancy bleed and hopefully all will be ok with your little one.

Please update Mumofsix when you get a chance. Thinking about you!!

Still waiting at hospital! Don't know if they'll even see me. They didn't even put me through to be registered, just told me to go sit down!!

[SamS_TTCPink]

Ok, got thru to registration! But they asked if the pregnancy has been confirmed by ultrasound and I said no, they said what about bloods and I said no, so they said "are you sure you're pregnant then?" 😕😞

Ha ha... you have 6 kids... I think that makes you an expert at knowing if you are pregnant. I am sorry you are getting the run around. My DH works in an ER and you wouldn't believe what kind of craziness they have to deal with. Not sure how it is in Australia but here (US) most people aren't even sober. Hang in there!! Tell them you have some significant pain. PG with pain and bleeding should be seen for sure:)

[SamS_TTCPink]

I know, I said to her "umm...I have six kids" and she just went "oh". Canberra is actually known for it's bad treatment and long waits for pregnant women in ER, there have been several late miscarriages occur in the ER waiting room toilet!!

And yep, several intoxicated people are here, 2 that were in a fight and so one has a broken nose and one a smashed up hand and they get priority over me!!

Praying for you mumofsix and house. <3

[Houseofblue]

Oh no Mumofisx, just saw this!!! I am thinking of u and praying for your bean!! That's awful they're treating you so bad :((( When I was bleeding in any of my PG's and went to ER I was rushed right in and given priority!! They gave me an u/s immediately too! :/
I'm not giving up hope for you Mumofsix...I had gushing red blood at 6 weeks with DS2 and was so sure it was over. Please update and all my fingers and toes are crossed for you right now!!
I felt something earlier when I was at the grocery, came home and checked and it was clear...felt it again about 30 min later and checked and there was the same brown tinged clear...so sick of this and just want to know either way where this is going.

Thinking of you Mumofsix!! Demand an u/s and don't let them give you any crap!

Thanks maiden & flowerlily xo

[The Anchor]

Oh no...:pray: your bean sticks...

[SamS_TTCPink]

Still in hospital, they've done bloods and are waiting to hear back from an obstetrician to see if they'll do an ultrasound!

Dr has said he thinks it's either an ectopic or miscarriage. He said the bleeding is a good sign that it's more likely a miscarriage than an ectopic but the way it poured out for hours and then stopped and the days of on and off spotting mean it could still be an ectopic. 😕

I just want an ultrasound so I know and to go home! It's DS2's birthday today and I want to be home when he wakes up (it's 3am here).

[WantingPink]

OMG... I can't believe they think possible ectopic and you aren't getting an ultrasound asap. That is just crazy!! You present to the ER here with pain, bleeding and pregnancy you are one of the first in line. I really hope everything is okay. I think if it were ectopic you would be in a lot more pain and you would have had more spotting before now. Please let us know what is going on. Don't freak if they don't see an HB... your only 5+6 so you may not see one and depending on how good their ultrasound and tech is they may not find anything. Thinking about you!! Update when you get a chance!!

[Houseofblue]

I agree with Wantingpink, I don't think it's an ectopic but you should def get an u/s, and geeez if they are thinking that (whether it's true or not), there is no "deciding" about whether to give you an u/s, for Christ sake it should be done asap!! I also agree with WP about seeing a hb, you won't at this stage so if you don't see one don't fret.
I am still holding out hope you just have another gusher....thinking of u and anxiously waiting to here your update. xo

[SamS_TTCPink]

Ok, so no ultrasound because my bloods came back and the HCG levels are only measuring about a low 3 weeks so they said they won't be able to even see a pregnancy sac, no matter where it is, let alone anything else.

They have concluded a miscarriage as the bleeding is now like normal AF bleeding and the pain has gotten more cramps and more painful. I've been referred to a new pregnancy outpatient clinic to confirm it all next week.

Mumofsix, I'm thinking of you and really hope it will be ok.
Please do insist on an u/s. as you know I had no pains and still had an ectopic.
Be strong. Hugs and love xxx

I am so so sorry Mum. My thoughts are with you. Sending giant virtual hugs.

[maidentomother]

Oh hun, I am so sorry! I wish I could give you a real hug. I hope it's not all over and you hear good news next week.

[WantingPink]

I am so sorry Mumofsix. I know that isn't the news you wanted to hear. Big hugs :hugs:

Still can't believe they wouldn't ultrasound you!!! A halmark of ectopic is a slow rising Hcg. I am not trying to freak you out... that is the last thing you need. But it is something to be aware of. Ectopic is relatively rare but it isn't that rare. You need to get your Hcg retested in a couple of days to see what is going on. What were your instructions when you left?? Take it easy and know we are thinking about you:(

[kitkat18]

So sorry mum of six this plain sucks so sorry you have had to go through this big hugs!! And we are all here if you need to talk xxxx

I am so so so sorry Mumofsix :((((( I was hoping and praying it would be a different outcome :(((((
Please demand an u/s...I can't believe they aren't giving you one, an u/s is standard where I am if you are having ANY bleeding in PG! HUGE HUGE HUGS!!!! ((((()))))

I am still in limbo, kitkat...once in a while have the clear ewcm tinged with light brown. I have a scan on Tues, so will know then unless something happens before then. :/

[kitkat18]

Thanks everyone. 💜

I am shattered. I'm still bleeding and passing clots and in a fair amount of pain but it's also DS2's birthday and so trying to show a brave face for him. He also insisted on knowing on if the baby was ok or not (after he found out the other day) and I felt terrible having to tell me it doesn't look good.

WantingPink, all they said was to wait for a call from the clinic next week to make an appointment to make sure I've lost everything.

You've been on my mind all evening Mum :( I'm so very sorry this really is happening. :( I wish I had better words. Please update with how you are doing and what the clinic says. I know all too well the pain of m/c, I'm here if you want to talk Mum.

[coocoobananas]

Oh Mum, sir sorry:( you were so worried and it wasn't for nothing:( I'm sorry your instinct was right:(:(

Lots of hugs, I wish there was something I could say to turn it around for you.

I'm so sad to read this, and so sorry. (And I agree with everyone else--they should have offered an ultrasound). I hope that you are able to rest and heal as quickly as possible.

So sorry mumofsix. :’(

[SamS_TTCPink]

Yeah I had to go, it's a "Good Friday" tradition and yeah we did have a cake etc for DS2.

It didn't help that my brother and his girlfriend came and she was horrible towards our kids and they were talking about my brothers "little girl" and when I asked what that meant (cause he has no kids) they were talking about a girl he is teaching to swim but then went on to say about when he does have kids he will have a girl.

I spent the whole time trying not to cry and in pain and so tired. I also hate that I can't even tell my mum as we don't have a good relationship at all and all I'd cop would be abuse and insults and crap (like I'll get when we do have a successful pregnancy and tell them) when I wish I could just tell her and have a shoulder to cry on and someone to hug me and support me.

This whole thing seriously sux.

Thank you all for your love and virtual hugs!! 💜💜💜

I guess I should stop posting all this under the pregnancy thread. 😢

Houseofblue I hope things are looking more positive for you! 😊 I'll just have to live through your pregnancy updates for the next couple of months or so. 😉

Oh, Mumofsix I am out of words about how terribly sorry I feel for you - both the loss but also that you had to go through this painful family gathering while trying to keep calm and not show your feelings. So sad about your mother and brother, you would really have needed a hug and a shoulder to cry on.

I big hug to you!

[Houseofblue]

Mumofsix...so sorry you had to endure that visit :( :( Sorry about your bro and his gf too. Sorry about your mom hon...I haven't told my mom either b/c she is not supportive of us having anymore kids, so if this PG ends I'm going to pretend like it never happened (as far as my mom is concerned).
Thank you for your positivity Mum...I'm expecting anything, about half of my PG's end in m/c so only time will tell.
We are all here for u hon xo

[SamS_TTCPink]

Thank you Houseofblue.

I still have everything crossed that it's all going to work out for you and that you've got a sticky pink bean! Can't wait to hear how your scan goes on Tuesday. 😊

Thank you Mum. I hope to see you back on the ttc train very soon...I bet your rainbow will be your little girl. xo My mom's neighbor had 3 girls and desperately wanted a boy...after her 3rd dd she (the mom) had 5 m/c's (found out she had developed a thyroid problem after DD3), she went on meds and had a baby boy. I really, really think your next LO will be your dd. Thinking of you...I hope you are able to get through the Easter weekend okay. Big hugs
