The wine won't be harmful @MotherofBoy .. I had a full blown night out in Feb not knowing I was pregnancy! Your symptoms sounds promising so don't count yourself out! My frer didn't show a faint line until 14dpo xxx

Oh really even just one glass? I didn't know that. That would explain it as I really don't feel pregnant. I am so hot this morning though.

Sorry to be that person, but the wine probably caused the spike, it's tricky for doing that. But you're not out until AF comes, so keep the faith!

I have a good feeling about this month. I don't know why, i just do.

So weird thing is that I had a temp spike this morning to highest post o temperature. Last month my temps started dipping at 10dpo, I am now 12dpo. So I did a IC test (ran out of FRER). Not sure if I can see the faintest shadow or if I'm imagining things. Still no symptoms though my cervix is quite high and this time last month it was low. Don't want to get hopes up and now feeling a bit bad as I had a big glass of wine last night convinced I wasn't pregnant as had negative tests with FRER on 10 and 11 dpo Confused chart attached... opinions welcome

Timpani Take it day by day, it might not mean the arrival of AF. Most importantly, look after yourself Smile

Timpani · 16/05/2017 19:46

Day 27 of normally 29 and brown spotting. :(

Pretty much out then. Boo. See you all in on the June train and July, Aug, Sept... forevermore

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 16/05/2017 15:15

That sound much simpler Deepatel.

I've just come back from trying to register with a new GP surgery (I'm out of the catchment area for my old one) and they apparently NEED my NHS number. Everywhere else was just able to find it Hmm Anyway I have it now so it's another trek in the rain for me Grin

Deepatel · 16/05/2017 14:27

@unicorns im in the same boat, even did another test this morning to check i was still positive... i rang docs this morning i have to fill out a form they will pass to midwives.

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 16/05/2017 13:37

There you go UnglamorousMum :) Test line is on the right side Smile

Mother I'd say I'm excited by that prospect, but on second thoughts I can wait for that, it's fiiine!
...........
I can certainly do that Handles, though it might seem like I'm MIA for a while until something happens Grin I'm so ready for you to test!

UnglamorousMum · 16/05/2017 13:04

@UnicornsandRainbows1 can you repost your opk picture? So I can compare!!! Why on earth I did it I don't know, to torture myself obviously.

pickle162 · 16/05/2017 12:58

Phoenix think we are classed as 1dpiui (1day post iui) as yesterday is classed as
Day 0 x

PhoenixMama · 16/05/2017 12:53

Hoping Me! Me! Me!

PhoenixMama · 16/05/2017 12:53

Unglamorous I'd def do a frer. Opks usually come back very dark like Unicorns but there are high false positives as well so put yourself out of your misery lol!

MrsHandles · 16/05/2017 12:45

Hi all, seeing all the BFPs is great! Unicorns you'll have to keep us updated with what goes on re: docs/midwives etc and their schedules as I've no idea either.

I still haven't tested yet as I'm waiting until the weekend; I'm so scared to do it, but the test is there, just staring at me. Waiting. Watching. ARGH!

Give it a couple of weeks unicorns and your boobs will hurt, you will be off your food and exhausted and your body will be telling you you definitely are Grin

I didn't think of it like that Mother, you make a good point. That's exactly how I'm feeling. Everything is saying yes, I'm two days late and don't have my usual AF symptoms but I need someone else to say it to my face.

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 16/05/2017 12:32

I'm not entirely sure how accurate they are (it seems to be but who knows) but here's mine from yesterday morning. I've had positive pregnancy tests from 12DPO so if you can later, grab a test.

Who else is 2dpo today?

UnglamorousMum · 16/05/2017 12:20

Can I ask how reliable opks are to detect pregnancy? I'm 12 dpo, af should have arrived today and hasn't. Don't know why I did it (I'm stupid and obviously enjoy torturing myself) and did an opk at break. 2 lines. I'm not reading anything into it, but thoughts?

I guess it's cos otherwise they'd have hundreds of appts to tell people they're pregnant when a hpt can do the same thing! Know what you mean though it is unnerving to have to wait to 8 weeks as you still have the 'but am I really pregnant' thoughts

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 16/05/2017 11:47

Thank you for the link and info Mother! I'll have a nosey through it.

That's a shame ladydolly, you would've thought they could have told you that beforehand!

It's a bit weird that they... I don't know how to word it... leave you on your own for a while. I'm not sure why but it's a bit disappointing, but I can understand why I guess.

Yes unicorn gp don't do anything. You should make appt with midwife for when you are approx 8 weeks. They will take blood then but not to confirm pregnancy, they do other tests can't remember what, iron levels and things like that. If you look on nhs choices there is a schedule of antenatal appointments that will give you a guide of what to expect :)

ladydolly · 16/05/2017 10:48

unicorn When I had dc1 they didn't do any further tests, blood or urine. I was clueless and made a docs appt and he made me feel quite silly by saying, if you've a positive test then you're pregnant. Book in with the midwife.
