Thinking of you Toniq, hoping hard that you are wrong and all is ok xx

I burst out in tears today:(

My 2 sisters were saying I could get cancer from drinking Traditional Chinese Medicine tea because Chinese use cancer causing pesticides etc.

I was fine defending it, and said Clomid and stuff like that can cause cancer as well, but they kept on and on and said I'm only taking it because I'm still hormonal from IVF, and because of infertility and because I lost a baby (mc). The lost a baby hit me hard, and I burst out in tears and had to get out.

Maybe I am hormonal, but I know both of them are due AF next week too:mad: Neither has kids or mc of course.

I'm only trying it until my next IVF. There must be tons of stuff we are eating that are from China these days anyway. I think the plates are from China as well.

ladies my beta is back it is 371, that was drawn 11 dpt, is that good? or is everyone differeny? I have another beta tomorrow but chances are results aren't back in till Monday x

I have an appt at 3:45pm at Gp's as i'm struggling to wee, which with the sorness and muscus blood when i wipe could spell a UTI, (the power of google)

So now i'm praying for a UTI and a doubled Beta xx I'm too scared to say am i still pregnant? x

Toni, don't know anything about Beta but keeping everything is Ok and those embies are holding on tight. Hope the UTI gets sorted soon, sounds very painful.

QQ - sending you big hugs - xxx - I agree there are probably a million and one things we eat or do that could cause cancer but no one really knows. If its helping and making you feel better than so what.

Live for today and not for tomorrow.

But qq wouldn't beta show a number if i'd lost it in the last 12 hrs ? x

That sounds good to me. When you posted your symptoms they didn't sound to me like a mc but I didn't want to say anything to give you false hope just in case.

It is a roller coaster ride from here on in, but especially in the first 3 months you can expect some light bleeding from time to time, some cramping which might at times feel quite strong, and to waver from feeling very pregnant to not pregnant at all! It's always worth getting it checked out, but in most cases it is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. Hopefully the IVF clinic will support you until you are at the stage to go over to normal midwife care, I know when we had our first child after fertility treatment (private) that was what happened with us. If they won't though, and if your local NHS EPU is also unhelpful, private scans are not very expensive compared to the costs of fertility investigations, and they can be very reassuring from about 7 weeks onwards when the heartbeat can be seen up to about 16 weeks and it can usually be heard reliably on a Doppler. I don't know where in the country you are based but I think there are centres fairly nationwide.

It may, but how do you feel?

Sounds a good hcg level to me, that would read as 2-3 weeks on a digital test which sounds good to me.
If your next level is double or near to it then that is great indicator, of course there can still be issues but its another positive step.
Fingers all crossed still x
