Result

Well, it's a mixed bag again. The story is this...I did a HPT at home (as always) on 13DPO and 14DPO - both times it came up with an extremely faint line. So much so that if you blinked you would miss it - you really have to look hard to see it.

My blood test today came back positive...but as I've mentioned before, my clinic only does qualitive blood tests - so anything over 25 is a positive. The average hcg level for 14DPO is around 100, therefore you would think that the line should at least be as dark as the one I did last cycle on the day that I measured 85 - but it is sooo much fainter than that.

I do understand that there is still a chance this may work, but after what happened last time, and with the HPT's not yet coming up with a nice line, it is hard to not expect another miscarriage. My follow up appointment/scan is booked for 1st December, so still a long time to wait.

My plan is to continue to test at home - if the tests don't get any stronger, or in particular if they get stronger and then weaker, I will phone the clinic and ask them to bring my scan forward - they should be able to bring it forward by a week and a half. Hopefully my instinct of my last miscarriage will give me enough credibility for them to do this.

So for now...I wait...again...
