If you are worried about the Dr not listening, maybe write it down so he/she is clear about what you are saying?

pucca · 16/05/2008 20:19

There is nothing i can do till Monday now, and then i guess i am going to have to go aren't i.

Lulumama · 16/05/2008 20:11

so, what do you intend to do? just wait it out? doctors are there to help you with medical issues !

pucca · 16/05/2008 20:11

They were HPT, none left know though. Have got a couple of OPKs left out of the test bundle though.

All this messing around is doing my head in now, with my dd & ds, it was simple, missed a period, did a test BFP, no fart arsing around.

I know i sound a idiot not going to the doctor, but i know i will waffle all this out and he will just sit looking at me like i am a loony.

This period i have had is a weird one though, 2 days of bleeding weird pinky coloured blood, and now nilch

Lulumama · 16/05/2008 18:51

ah, pucca, i knew it was you you need a doctor to check you out , a scan and serial blood tests to be sure . you had BFP but then some negatives, and then spotting, it is all a bit odd really. esp. if you think you got another BFP

mags98 · 16/05/2008 18:49

look I have just joined this thread - you need to get this sorted, see your GP. They will NOT think this is stupid.

The possibilities are

  1. You were PG, had a MC and still have a faint positive test (mine was positive for over a month after my first MC)
  1. As above but you have not passed everything completely and so are still bleeding.
  1. You could still be PG (HCG at a high enough level causes a positive OPK, so that could be an explanation)
  1. This is the one that is the most important and needs ruling out. You could still be PG but it is not normal, for example an ectopic pregnancy. Funny, erratic, light bleeding with a positive PT makes alarm bells sound very loudly.

In any case, you need checking out. Blood tests and probably a scan. Just go and see your doctor, get checked out and take the sample, please! Or at the very least, do another one yourself.

stuarts · 16/05/2008 16:28

Please, please, please just go to the doctors

Good luck

Teuch · 16/05/2008 11:21

Morning! Was that hpt or ov tests you posted? I can't se the lines either, but I know how tricky it is to capture it on camera!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 16/05/2008 10:40

Just wish I could either physically take you to the doctors to get it sorted, or give you all the answers myself.

Are you going to go to the doctors?

pucca · 16/05/2008 10:34

Yes pinky red, it was just a spot yesterday when i thought it had come back, its definately gone.

Thanks NJ, you are a love

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 16/05/2008 10:19

I just don't know what else to say, except to see your doctor. I am stumped!

The slight bleeding again doesn't fit in with what I said before, is it proper red blood?

pucca · 16/05/2008 09:47

No haven't used anything as i thought i was hence it didn't matter.

I don't know.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 16/05/2008 07:29

No I can't see a line in either of the pics. Not to say it isn't there though.

You really do need to see the doc.

Is it possible that you were pregnant, but MC'ed, but then got pregnant again straight away? (happened to my sister) Did you use any contraception after you got the first lot of BFP's?

pucca · 15/05/2008 20:50

I think i am just one of those people who always seem to get a very faint line, just done a test now and it has a shadow of a line on it. Not sure if the camera picked it up though (profile).

pucca · 15/05/2008 20:02

I didn't go to the doctors today, my mum couldn't sit with the kids and i didn't fancy trying to talk with them there (ransacking the place lol).

Funnily enough the bleeding has come back slightly, still very odd though.

Teuch · 15/05/2008 18:50

Hullo again Pucca

The OV sticks - you may well have a higher level of LH in your system, which could explain the dodgy cycle... WOmen with PCOS often get pos OPK's all cycle.

On the other hand OPK's can also pick up HcG since LH and HcG are so similar. This is not an endorsement for OPK's as pg tests, but it is known to happen!!

Let us know how you get on at docs.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 15/05/2008 13:24

I don't know much about the OV sticks, but have heard they are not 100% reliable.

I had a MC in January and I bled for just under a week, very heavily.

You have to have been pregnant for a test to show BFP, and it wasn't just you that saw the BFP's.

PinkTulips · 15/05/2008 11:45

as far as i've heard those oc tests are very inaccurate for testing ov as they actually test for a hormone that's always present in our ssystems but spikes right before ov.

i've gotta say i agree with NJ, it does very much seem to me like you might have had a very low hormone preg and you're body couldn't sustain it (been there multiple times so you have my heartfelt sympathy, there no worse feeling than not knowing what your own body is playing at) chances are they'll send you for a scan to check for any retained products in case you need a d&c, although you probably won't at such an early stage.... having said that, wouldn't you be 7 weeks if you were? so best get checke out, you'd expect more than 2 days worth of blood at this stage i'd imagine.

pucca · 15/05/2008 10:09

Yet all this doesn't explain why i ov'd on the 4th, and started having this bleed 8 DPO and why i have only bled for 2 days.

pucca · 15/05/2008 10:08

I know what you are saying, but if this is the case, how could i have OV'd on the 4th? also i am now starting to think i wasn't pg in the first place, as the tests only ever had a slight faint line, or was there a line at all?

some people say they can always see a second line, especially on these cheaper ones.

I really don't think i was pg now, think it was just my body playing silly beggers, and i put 2 + 2 together and came up with 7

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 15/05/2008 10:05

No, explain everything, you felt pregnant, you got positive tests, then negative tests, then the short bleed. I am no doctor, and if I can work out that something is going on here, then I am sure he can as well.

People don't get BFP's unless they are pregnant or on certain meds, it just doesn't happen. So at some point you were pregnant, now whether that is a MC in the traditional sense or a chemical pregnancy, is neither here nor there as it ammount's to the same thing, the point is now you're not pregnant anymore, but you haven't bled enough (by the sounds of it) to expell everything.

If he thinks you are a tit, change doctors, seriosuly.

pucca · 15/05/2008 09:58

I feel a tit though, what am i going to say " well i didn't get a period for 3 weeks, then i got one, but now its disappeared!"

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 15/05/2008 09:17

You got a pos OV stick on the 4th of May??

You really do need to see the doc/nurse. Get it all sorted out once and for all.

Hope you can get an appointment today.

pucca · 15/05/2008 08:23

Have done nothing but pee on sticks for the past month.

pucca · 15/05/2008 08:22

The other thing that comes into it all i think, is i bought some cheap ov tests as a test bundle, and when i did ov tests on the 4th i got pos, i really don't know what the hell is going on.
