Help everyone,advice please!!

On CD34 yesterday I had a bleed in the morning after 2 days of cramps on & off. I assumed it was AF. The blood was bright red & there was a very small clot bit about 2 inches long but only couple of mm's wide, I don't think it was an actual clot. Anyway, I thought it was AF & put in a tampon.Went to change it later & there was hardly anything on it.Changed again later still & it was completely clean.Yesterday also I've had no period pain at all.

Usually at the start of AF my 1st day is very slow & then speeds up overnight or on the 2nd day.Last night nothing has happened still.I've occassionally had a slight feeling in my lower area but not as low down as period pain.
I'm totally confused I'd done a test too early on CD33 which was -ve.
Also I've never started AF with bright red blood. Do you think I could be PG?

Heron i'm thrilled for you wishing you lots of luck and crossing fingers for you.

Queenie hope things work out for you.

Will be back again next month to hold hands with anyone who has a bfn.

Have lots of nice things planned for the next week so am going to be kind ot myself and as i read on somone elses post somewhere know i'm privileged to already to be called mummy!

(see calm and rational now af has arrived-give me 14 days and i'll be back to why can't i be pg!!!)

LullyMummaOfOne · 22/05/2008 20:30

Thanks, Leaky & Queenie

queenie1 · 22/05/2008 18:05

Congrats too to you Heron!!!

Littlemissdaisy - looks like I'm still around, with leaky to hold your hand.

Leaky - thanks for your kind, supportive words. But I don't think I can hope anymore this month. Just want AF to arrive, boobs to stop tingling and to get on with next month.

I'm pretty new to this Mumsnet malarky but just wanted to say thanks to you all. It is wonderful to be able to swap and share stories, hopes, fears and ultimate bad news (as well as, for some, positive and good news). So thanks (clearly still feeling vvv emotional!! !)

mumfor1standmaybe2ndtime · 22/05/2008 17:52

I am waiting for AF now. I am on day 25 and usually have 25-28 day cycle, keeping fingers crossed!

leaky · 22/05/2008 17:47

I'm still here Little

Try not to worry too much Queenie,you could still be pregnant....it could be down to the test they use,my friend said they are just cheap ones too.Here's hoping....

littlemissdaisy · 22/05/2008 17:09

Oh HERON I am so pleased for you
Who will hold my hand next month if I got a BFN on Saturday Which I Think I Will

hi little, my AF was due today and it did not come and i got a strong BFP!!!!!!!

i know it is early days, last month, it was very faint. so i am a bit more confident. also i feel pregnant

hi queenie, i am so sorry to hear that...sounds like it was a chemical pregnancy

i have no clever words to make you feel better. i am thinking of you though. it is hard to conceive! i sometimes wonder how come our earth is overpopulated???

queenie1 · 22/05/2008 16:23

Hi all - congrats to you oh joy, great news!

Not so great with me though. After the two tests with faint lines tests then started coming back negative. Still just felt pregnant so went to doctor's today. I showed him the faint lines and he did say that I could well be pregnant. So he did a test and it came back negative. He said it was conclusive that I wasn't. I burst into tears in the doctor's surgery and then cried all the way home. And continued to cry. So fed up, felt so sure I was. Now having a glass of wine. Need to wait for my period now and then find the strength to try again next month. Why is it so hard to conceive?

littlemissdaisy · 22/05/2008 16:13

Congrats to you Ohjoy that's fantastic news.I may be ovulating for a few nights when we'll be sleeping on an airbed in a friends lounge!! That'll be fun then we'll be in the South of France for a couple of weeks so it will take my mind off it all.

Good luck everyone

LullyMummaOfOne · 22/05/2008 14:13

By the way, do you all reccommend to invest in a OV test kit? Just wondered if they really do help?

LullyMummaOfOne · 22/05/2008 13:56

Congratulation Ohjoy, so pleased for you. Lets hope we get lots more BFP next month!!

xserialshopper · 22/05/2008 13:53

Leaky, sorry about AF. Seems to be getting us all this month. Dont give up trying, im sure we will all get lucky in the next few months.
Good luck to everyone else and i'll be sure to watch out for the next thread!!

leaky · 22/05/2008 10:09

Hi everyone. AF arrived this morning.left me feeling all confused as to whether I should be trying for a 3rd or not,making life harder for myself.Have decided to keep trying anyway.We go on holiday soon so at least will be enjoying the hot sunshine on a beach which will be a good distraction for me when waiting to see if AF arrives or not.

queenie1 · 22/05/2008 09:13

Am using clear blue tests. Tempted to call doctors and ask for blood test but trying to hold off for fear they will just think I am impatient-desperate-crazy...

Heron23 · 22/05/2008 09:12

hi queenie, i'm afraid doctors dont do blood test to confirm pregnancy anymore. so, we can only rely on these &£%& test sticks.

flower, sorry the witch got you. but good thing is your cycle is so regular!

leaky, sorry about your BFN but it is still so early...

hi hoping, fingers crossed for you!

they say that a woman's intuition is always spot on - but for me, my desire to be pregnant has caused me to imagine symptoms or misinterpret them

AF is due tonight/tomorrow morning. my boobs are less sore this morning. told DH that i think we're out of luck this month...i did collect my first urine this morning, was tempted to test, but ended up resisting and throwing out the urine. am going to forget about this - AF will come or not whatever i do. it is a lovely sunny day today. i have to book our car for our july hols in france. so got lots to do! not mention my messy house!!!

have a good day everyone! will keep you all posted
