Thanks Twiga, will do!

jeddah · 19/10/2004 10:45

sexandhappy, you will never be hassling me...just so chuffed to help with advice!

The nurse will take the blood for the tests that have been requested by the gp!....... if he hasn't requested a preggers test, then she will just do the fertility tests. However!....... if you play a bit dumb...... and say that you have the feeling that you also maybe pregnant....(get your dates ready in your mind as she will probably ask for date of first day of last period).......she should do one! (if she is a decent nurse!) If it was me I would also add this test to the form!
Bit difficult really as depends on the nurse!

Bagpuss, not sure, but i would test at the earliest poss point then if bfn again at the longest point IYSWIM - covers all bases?! I'm in a similar position in that since the my mc three months ago my cycles have not been right at all (last one was ten days longer than it should have been). I was getting cramping and sore boobs in the fortnights run up to when i thought af due and this month that hasn't happened so i'm assuming that I'm back to 28/29 days and things have settled down, hence going ahead with testing at the weekend. Sorry if a bit long winded.....

Bagpuss30 · 19/10/2004 10:38

Thanks Tania and Twiga for your concern - ds playing now but still poorly

Bagpuss30 · 19/10/2004 10:37

Ok ladies, I have just opened my packet of tests (to read the instructions you understand ). AF is officially due on Saturday but I will be 14 dpo on Friday. My cycle this month should be 29 days as I ov'ed on CD15 this month. Last month Persona didn't detect ov and my cycle was 35 days. The test packet says I should wait until my longest possible CD if I have irregular cycles (which I do) but I know that my cycle will be 29 days as it has been every other month for the past 6 months IYSWIM? So (she says getting round to the point finally) when should I test?

Twiga · 19/10/2004 10:30

Morning (at a more reasonable hour this time)! Please, please leave the thread in place until us weekend testers have done our thing - maybe we're get a full house! Golds are we adding you to the list too?

Sweetheart, well done on your result at ww last night, sounds like you had a great feast last night. Is your friend to be trusted (meant in the nicest poss way) or do we still need to find a secret handshake to convey your news?

Congratulations Binatracey - graduate six !

Jeddah, you can feel like af about to arrive if pg, i know i was just waiting for it when i got my bfp the last time. Can't remember much as wasn't expecting to be pg then mc at 6/7 weeks, but how your feeling sounds fine either way.

{{{hugs}}} to Bagpuss and ds, sorry to hear you both had a rotten night x

CD29 here and playing the waiting game. On days off work just now and going to be hectic, have to toddler proof/tidy my house before my neice arrives on Sunday - should keep my mind off things................think will probably test on fri morning if af not arrived, don't know that i have the patience to wait past then.

Sexyandhappy · 19/10/2004 10:24

Jeddah (sorry to hassle you)... the GP said the blood test would not test for pregnancy? Should I play daft and ask the nurse then ?

Bagpuss30 · 19/10/2004 10:21

Good plan Runtus .

jeddah · 19/10/2004 10:14

golds
will you be testing at the weekend too?

jeddah · 19/10/2004 10:12

sexandhappy
yes they will also do a pregnancy test aswell.

I am a nurse, midwife and health visitor. The tests will generally be back 5-7 days, sometimes sooner....depending on the lab and mode of transfering the results back to the GP practice

Good luck

Thinking about this new thread thing!! I think I understand now........I also think its a good idea to wait until after the weekend...... due to all the testing

i have decided to wait until then to test, so I am doing it with the rest of the testers! I come back from barcelona on sat night so if af has not arrived, I will be testing Sun Morning....god can I wait? My sister wants me to test tomorrow morning before I go!

golds · 19/10/2004 10:06

Haven't posted for a couple of week, but have lurked a little.

Congratulations to all the BFP and hello all newbies.

Well I am sitting here on CD29, AF usually turns up on CD28, but this is my first month off the pill so I maybe a little out of sinc.

The waiting is unbearable, but I'm sure knowing my luck AF will turn up tomorrow. Will keep you posted

Sexyandhappy · 19/10/2004 10:01

And how long does it take to have the results.... I guess I can ask the nurse but I am so keen

Sexyandhappy · 19/10/2004 10:00

Brilliant Binatracy
Thanks Jeddah.... how do you know all of that ?
Can't they test for pregnancy in that blood test ?

binatracy · 19/10/2004 09:58

thanks!!!!! goodluck to everyone,i didt have many symptoms though i had feeling of af arriving but no sore boobs or anything!! hopefully more of you with good news at weekend!! xxx

runtus · 19/10/2004 09:56

I vote we start a new on on Monday morning to give all out w/end testers maximum luck!

sweetheart · 19/10/2004 09:56

Oh yeah sorry

CONGRATS BINATRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jeddah · 19/10/2004 09:55

BINATRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my god!!!!!! congratulations!!!!!

Bagpuss30 I still do not know what happens after the 6th graduate......does someone start a new thread....? if so, will everyone then transfere onto that.....which will mean that it is still long>>>>>
Sorry being a bit of a newcomer...not sure

sweetheart · 19/10/2004 09:55

Thanks Runtus

Ohhhh, is that 6??????

You can't stop this thread now - wait till the weekend, it's a lucky one!!!!!!!

Mind you that's easy for me to say I suppose I'm on the companies broadband!!!!!

LipstickMum · 19/10/2004 09:52

Binatracy CONGRATULATIONS claps Well done!!!

sweetheart · 19/10/2004 09:52

Lipstickmum - sorry!!!!! All that fat and sugar from last night has sent me a bit off course today!!!!! I actually meant jeddah!!!!!

Runtus, ohhhh you must be soooooo excited - I'm so !!!!

I'm not sure about the flying on Clomid but I know it's ok to fly in the early stages of pregnancy. I think it's only the last 3 months that it's a bit dangerous. Just make sure you inform your insurance company - at least then you could get medical attention if you needed it!!!!!!

jeddah · 19/10/2004 09:50

sexandhappy

Sorry didn't mean to scare you. There will be 1 blood sample but 9 tests! carried out on that 1 blood sample.

Ooh, S/heart massive congrats on ww last night - sounds like you had a fab tea to celebrate!

Try not to fret too much about the appointment, the more calm you are the better it will be - promise!

LipstickMum · 19/10/2004 09:45

Hi jeddah, Well you are 10 dpo, so technically you could test ... but I don't want to be the one to encourage you, just in case you get a BFN Wonder what the others think???

Sweetheart, I think you have me confused, am I writing v confusing posts?? I got a BFP last week, I already have a dd who is 18 months. I was just answering other ppls queries, not talking about myself
