Sept 2013?

[legoboat]

Hello - bit early, but I definitely had two positives this morning, wanted to check on drinking vodka this evening or not. I make due date 4th Sep 2013.
I had to terminate a pregnancy in late Sep at 13ish weeks because of incompatible with life diagnosis, so hope that doesn't happen again (I have a 25% chance but hopefully I'll fall in the 75% this time).

No probs! Too much to worry about isn't there? I've only retested once at 5 weeks, the day before going to the dr, and did it with FMU and it said 3+ so was relieved, but was trying to convince myself that if it said 2-3 there was no need to worry... I would have though!

Have you been to the docs already then? What did they say/do? I'm only 4+1 and mine didn't want to see me before 6 wks so I'm booked in for the 17th...

I went on monday at 5+1, although no one asked when booking appointment how pg I was! Just asked if I'd done test, checked dates, checked if on any meds / drinking / smoking. Then filled in details for midwife at reception and the nhs charges exemption form. That was more than happened at the 1st appointment last time! Just wanted to get in the system ASAP as had to chase and chase 12 week scan last time, while DH was in the US and I was organising moving house!

Uuuuuuuuuuurgh, I feel rough this morning. Unfortunately not all PG related - got bad sore throat, ear ache and tired eyes, plus the 5-6 week nausea that I experienced with DD is making itself known. If I am actually sick this time around I have no idea how I'll hide it from people at work....
Thankfully DD is being angelic and having an epic lie in so I am
Waiting until nauseau returns to its regular morning state of 'hunger/motion sickness'.
All this talk of re-testing is making me want to join in, might just have a quick wee on the left over stick from the pack of 2 I originally bought, maybe that will make me feel better....

AAAAAH HAHAHA, yes, that has made me feel better, the pregnant line just appeared before the not pregnant one did - about 10 seconds after dipping! Guess it's real then, woo hoo!

Right, time to man up now and get DD out of bed. Going swimming in my sickly state might not be a good idea, but it's certainly a good distraction!

Morning all. Interestig timing with the topic of conversation today! I am 4+6, so should be a nice strong 2-3 if not an early 3+ as I used fmu. However When I tested this morning still says 1-2. So looks like I may be leaving you all soon. Anyone know how accurate the cb digis are? Anyone seen this before? Am clutching at straws now I know....

Hello, can I join you? Got a BFP yesterday! I'm only 3+6 today so still very very early days. I have namechanged as I suspect I have real life friends who know my nickname on here, and I don't want to tell them just yet. Due date is 14 September, I think. I already have a 2.5 year old DS.

Pink - I don't think I would worry too much about that - from what I know, the CB test dates show you time from conception, whereas the gestational dates we measure ourselves by are from first day of last period. i.e. I am 4+5 by my period, but would only be 2 weeks preg on the clear blue as only conceived 2 w ago. So it would be about right for it to say 1-2, turning to 2-3 perhaps in the next few days. As long as there is no bleeding/sustained cramps, I think you are still in the running.
Anyone else think that too?

Yes, I agree, amiready - don't worry about it. It will also depend on things like how concentrated your wee is, what time of day you tested etc etc.

I looked on the CB site and their dating accuracy is only 82%. (It says 98% but when you look at the small print that's including a ten day margin of error!), 82% without the ten day error.

I'm worried as I'm not really having any symptoms! Also just read something which said peak times of miscarriage are 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks. Kind of thought the longer I went on it would be better - but it seems there are these specific hurdles to get through!

Welcome Wincher and other newbies!

Ten day margin of error?! That's outrageous I agree with the others pink, don't worry about that just yet, especially armed with that info!

amiready I'm the same as you today, symptoms have all but disappeared - boobs not really sore, no cramping, no nausea, nothing. Just looked at my calendar and realised that even though I'm technically 4+1, that only equates to CD31 of a normal cycle, which is nothing really! Almost enough to make me wish I hadn't found out so early

Hi wincher your 1 day ahead of me I'm 3+5 and due on the 15th.

Pink I have also heard exactly what ami has said so I hope you are not too worried after seeing those facts.

My first personal hurdle is to get past Sunday when AF is actually due I think it will feel more real then. Feel a bit like I'm pretending at the moment but have had 3 BFP each one darker than the last so no i'm not!

I know it is SO difficult this waiting game! I am meeting up with the girls tomorrow - one has a baby, the other due in Feb, and I'm convinced the other one is going to announce she is preg (she's been trying for a while). I am going to have to sit there and keep schtum! It really is just so early, anything could happen - aghh! I hit 12 weeks on the 25th of Feb - so far away!

Thank you for a the replies.
I just think that having got a positive result 7 days ago, that means the earliest that could have been was 10dpo. Therefore, based on that, I should now be at least 4+2, and showing as 2-3 weeks.
Never mind. Looks like I will just have to wait it out and prepare for the worst.
Thanks for being lovely everyone.

ok, fx for you. kittenkatzen had the same thing yesterday and she is due only one day after us. Baby dust for everyone!

It does seem like an awfully long time to get through doesn't it?

I had a very moment yesterday (TMI alert) when I was driving home - had to be sick out of the car door when I stopped at the traffic lights. It was grim (although thankfully there was no one around to witness my upchucking). Decided to work from home today as I'm not risking that again!

yy to this ^^ :)

IBelieveInPink 10 day margin of error. That's all you need to think about (but I'm here for reassurance, rational advice and anecdotes of lots of Internet ladies who have experienced this and have been fine - there are entire web pages devoted to ranting about conception indicators being evil). PM me if you need to - or will keep an eye on this and the LA thread xx

According to one of my many preggy Apps, I have 246 days still to go. Two-hundred-and-forty-six-whole days!!!

I knew someone who thought they were going through the menopause (at 30!), did several hpts, blood tests at doctors etc all BFN and then finally found out she was 5 months pregnant when she went in or a scan to investigate fibroids (I think).

I'm rather envying her position now!

Well I retested today hoping for my 3+ weeks as I am
Now 5+4 weeks. Still got 2-3 weeks :(
Anyone think this part of this week thing is clever marketing by CB
to keep making us but their tests.

I do feel nauseous which is a good sign.

I think we all need to step way from tests, google and other worrying stuff and think about something fun!!
If only it were that simple.

jmf it's horrid isn't it. I am very angry at Clearblue right now ( my fault for buying the tests? Nonono, couldn't be my fault)
I just wish I knew if everything way okay in there.
Damnit why did no one ever tell me how hard this all was?!

IBelieveinpink- it is totally horrible.
The first time I was pregnant in 2006 I'm sure they were not around.
I didn't see them anyway.

Last time I only got a 2-3 and then gave up with them.

Lets be positive, a positive is a positive and it will be ok :)

jmf I wouldn't be surprised if you're right about it being partly a marketing ploy by CB!

I'm trying not to become obsessed about everything, but I still feel really queasy and starting to feel emotional. Nearly started crying at a song on the radio! My back was really throbbing last night so had a warm hot water bottle on it, is that ok? It wasn't boiling or anything.
