Dpo my phone is playing up

cottonwool4brains · 24/08/2013 08:45

Or dpi!

ThreeFromDesire · 24/08/2013 08:42

Cotton- as I've said before, my tests have always been more sensitive in the evening rather than using fmu. Maybe test again later

cottonwool4brains · 24/08/2013 08:39

17 dpi. The ridiculously faint line us still there on the internet cheap tests. :-( feeling deflated

wispaxmas · 24/08/2013 08:37

Cottonwool! Sorry, iPad autocorrect!

wispaxmas · 24/08/2013 08:36

Cottonwood, could it just be really early still, and that your pee was more concentrated yesterday am? I think it has to be really rare to get a false positive on a clear blue, so if I were you I'd be making an appt with a doctor to confirm. You'll drive yourself insane with constant tests otherwise.

Decided not to test this morning.. Don't think I'm pregnant at all, so will patiently wait for AF to arrive on Tuesday.

impatientlywaiting · 24/08/2013 08:30

Oh cottonwool that must be such an awful feeling for you!

I think it's probably ok though! I think in these early days HCG can really fluctuate. Have you done an Internet cheapy test today? Do you know how many DPO you are? I've heard of people who got BFPs followed by BFNs then again BFPs within the space of a few days during healthy pregnancys.

impatientlywaiting · 24/08/2013 08:25

Oh VJones I think you asked about any symptoms?

I'm not sure what dpo I am as the MC may have thrown my cycle off? I can usually tell when I ovulate but couldn't this time.

I usually have a 26 day cycle and found out CD27 (with CD1) being the first day of the bleeding from MC.

I think I did have symptoms. I'm in the weird position of finding out I'm pregnant 2months in a row. This time I had some of the same symptoms as last - sensitive teeth from what I think was about 3-7 dpo, 4 days before the positive test I woke up with abdominal aches a bit like if you do stomach crunches and achey thighs which happened both months, also very early mild cramps, both months probably got them about 5 days before AF which is strange for me.

I didn't get some symptoms this month that I got last month though, boobs still aren't really achey, whereas last month they started pretty early, last month I got sharp pains I put down to implementation whereas didn't get them this month either.

Gilly if its any consolation my IC lines are still incredibly faint, maybe not even as dark as yours as I haven't really been able to see mine on screen when I've taken a pic of it, so today I was worried by clearblue would say not pregnant, but I got a 1-2 weeks. I think maybe those IC never really get much darker?

cottonwool4brains · 24/08/2013 08:21

Hello, I have been hovering here for q while. Can I have your advice. For days I have been using cheap ebay test sticks and looking for lines ( thinking I am imagining it) so last night I got one of those digital ones and it said pregnant 1-2 (!) however as I am a bit in disbelief I did another this am and..... Not pregnant! Argh. Confused. Which is correct?

impatientlywaiting · 24/08/2013 08:10

Hi all, sorry for those that AF got. Gilly I don't understand what's going on for you at all?

We are all practiced in the art if reassuring ourselves that a line is a line, I don't believe that you could have got that many evap lines, and all of us saw the pictures you definitely had lines. Could it be that you just got a really rubbish batch of ICs? Know that you were testing with FRER too though and from what I've heard they are reliable.

I still think you're in with a really good chance this month! But this must be getting really frustrating now! Try and stay positive. Xx

jaykay987 · 24/08/2013 08:09

Oh no Gilly. That must be so frustrating.
When is your AF due? Don't lose hope - it's to over yet! But great you've already got your head around the next cycle (just in case).

gillywillywoo · 24/08/2013 08:00

Morning all. Tested again today and no line at all!

Very weird but I'm assuming AF will arrive soon enough! Shame... But Nevermind!

Roll on next cycle... I'm up for it now Grin haha

BFN for us again. On to cycle #10 for me. Don't even get to join the September bus as cycle is so long. Not feeling positive at all any more.

Well done to all BFPs! Gilly, looking forward to seeing your stick this morn.

rockyroller123 · 24/08/2013 07:51

morning all,

On CD30 now and no af but not gunna test till probably Tuesday morning as staying with ny brother n laws family for the weekend.

felt really hormonal Tuesday, with sore boobs, had some cramping, but that's all died down now, well except the boobs! Fingers crossed AF doesn't make an appearance!

cheesysmile · 23/08/2013 19:51

Ah phone just updated ... d'oh! Blush

cheesysmile · 23/08/2013 19:49

Hi cupcake. ttc # is trying to conceive number, I.e wud be 1 if ur first child. Cycle is how many cycles have you been ttc for. Bfp means big fat positive and is the day your period is due but everyone likes to think they will get a bfp instead! Hope that all makes sense Smile

VJONES1985 · 23/08/2013 19:43

Cupcake Yes, bfp date is the date your af (aunt flo) is due!

LoveWine · 23/08/2013 19:41

Gilly I'm convinced you are pregnant...I've never seen that many evaporation lines in one month for one person Grin

I've been following your posts since we both started at around the same time and I'm crossing my fingers for you to get a really good strong line so you can celebrate properly!! Flowers

Cupcake1985 · 23/08/2013 19:33

Ah so that makes me ttc#1 cycle 2 (technically hopping to the September bus with my number 2) and bfp is this the date to test on? If so it would be 21 sep. thanks :) excited about September it will be good I hope!

VJONES1985 · 23/08/2013 19:28

Cupcake ttc means trying to conceive and the cycle number is how many months you've been ttc. Bfp means Big Fat Positive.

leezl · 23/08/2013 19:26

TMI alert...

DTD tonight and had a bit of blood afterwards, so I think AF is knocking at the door. Sigh. So I'm off to the September bus, but I will keep reading until the bitter end!! Here's to lots more shagging in September!

Good luck everyone, and thanks for your support this month! Xxx

Sparrowlegs248 · 23/08/2013 19:19

Congrats to all bfp's!! There have been loads recently! Gilly - sooo temptimg to test early but such uncertainty! I can see your lines tho so good luck! I see your bfp isn't due til monday, really hope you get a good strong line.

Friend at work is preggers, 33 weeks. A wee girl. Increasingly jealous!!! I have two nephews and of course would be happy with either a blue or a pink but feel that a pink would be lovely. (but more expensive!)

Cupcake1985 · 23/08/2013 19:17

Hi guys - what does ttc# cycle and bfp mean?

Terramirabilis · 23/08/2013 19:00

Haven't been keeping up with the bus but just signing in to say no bfp for me again this month. I haven't got AF yet, but had a pregnancy test done two days ago before a colposcopy so I know I'm not pregnant. Am on day 37 of this cycle. Hoping AF deigns to show up soon.

Congrats to all those with BFPS and I'll see the rest of you on the September bus!

cheesysmile · 23/08/2013 18:44

Congrats impatiently and pixie Flowers

Impatiently just wanted to say I know exactly how you feel. I'm really hoping for a bfp again at the end of the mth, but also really scared that if I do it won't work out again.Have told close friends abt it as just feels easier for them to know somehow.

BUT ... im sure you will have a super sticky bean this time and all will be fantastic! Lots of luck Smile
