Evening lovely ladies

So, today I wanted to check it's still positive so I brought a test. My clinic no longer does blood tests. I know I'm technically further along than 2-3 weeks, according to my clinic I'm the equivalent of 5 weeks. I have 15 days till my scan and I'm very apprehensive about it. Last time I had a missed miscarriage and as you can imagine it was heart breaking for us. If it doesn't work this time, I think my OH won't do this again. It's been so hard for us and we're both pretty tired of the process.

I do feel like I have symptoms but not sure if that's more to do with the progesterone or just wishful thing - any thoughts ladies?

Many thanks x

It's been a while but don't the clear blue instructions tell you to add either 1-2 weeks to the digital results?

Thank you. That sounds about right, if you add it then that's 5.

Just checked and yes they do. 2-3 weeks is 4-5 weeks pregnant by a Drs test based on a 28 day cycle. In the section 4, how to read your results bit

Thank you. I just looked at the link to the instructions and that was helpful.

Maybe your GP will do a blood test given your history?

Hi,

I know it's hard but try not to keep testing it just creates more anxiety. I had a miscarriage in march and I'm 7 weeks pregnant today so I totally get your anxiety believe me! But one think I've realised is no amount of tests will tell me if something goes wrong. And if it does I can't change that happening, yes I'm still mad as a box of frogs and google everything but you just have to try have hope and remember mmc are rare and your chances of it happening again are no greater because it happened last time xx

Thanks it nice to have other ladies understand. My OH doesn't want to talk about it as he's been so disappointed before. Unfortunately but I've had two miscarriages after bfp so that's the only experience I've had of ivf. I've never got to the scan stage and had something to see. I'm so frightened of that happening again.
