oh help, I'm going quietly mad

I'm a regular in conception - kind of hoping old friends will come and hair stroke me. DH and I have been ttc for 22 months. DH has high prolactin levels which makes his sperm count low. Until we see a specialist next month we've been not trying but not, not trying iykwim.
My cycle is variable but typically 25-27 days. Today is cd29. I haven't had a 28 day cycle for over a year. Internet cheapies say bfn. Must assume it's only a matter of time before the witch comes. But I feel like crap. Anyone willing to sit and wait with me?

Sad But might've just been too soon. Are you retesting in the morning?

Biscuitsandtea · 02/11/2011 17:14

Oh Have ShockSad

Maybe because it wasn't FMU?

I don't know the answer for this, but if the odd bleeding was implantation, would that mean anything as to when you start producing HCG?

DizzyKipper · 02/11/2011 17:16

Yes, I don't think you start producing hcg until after you've implanted, and then it will take a few days after for a blood test to come back positive and then at least another few days before you can get a BFP.

I'll probably crack open a Boots test in the morning. If that's BFN, I will end the madness there!

What time tomorrow morning?

When I wake, probably 6am. Feel a bit deflated.

You did say you've been drinking loads today though (which coincidentally was also one of my early pregnancy symptoms - extreme thirst). It's quite possible all this drinking has just diluted the hormone levels too much to be detected right now. A good night of concentrating it in your sample will help.

Missed you kip :)
Yeah. DH and I are a bit glum. But I had wee'd in the last hour. I shall see what the fmu brings.

Have if that weird bleed was implantation, this website suggests we'd be too early for a positive yet. Confused

When was the bleed again? I'm wondering whether we should hold fire until the weekend? When was due? Was it Friday last week?

Biscuitsandtea · 02/11/2011 17:29

So was the test with wee accumulated over less than an hour?

Purplebuns · 02/11/2011 17:29

Aww Faith it is not over yet! And if you have the thirst then it will have diluted your urine as Kipper says.

Biscuitsandtea · 02/11/2011 17:30

Sorry meant when was AF due?

DizzyKipper · 02/11/2011 17:34

Missed you too, we need your company on the antenatal thread Grin We've just got in lots of furnishings and goodies for you when you come tomorrow.
And what with all your drinking and also having wee'd within the last hour I'm thinking a negative was inevitable really, that doesn't mean you're not upduffed though.

Ok weird bleed started Monday, pretty much stopped by yesterday morning. Spotting a bit now.
Af is irregular but usually 27 cycle. The shortest being 25, longest 29. Weird bleed/af? Started cd31. Assumed 30 day cycle.
Yes I used pee accumulated over 1 1/2 hours.

Oh Have I know how gutted you must be feeling. Like everyone else though, I don't think we can rule out a BFP yet. It definitely did look like a line on the internet cheapie and if you've been drinking and weeing all day it certainly could cause a BFN on a First Response.

I second trying again in the morning. There's too many things to point to it being a BFP to write it off just yet.

Biscuitsandtea · 02/11/2011 17:48

Yeah, I agree actually. FMU tomorrow and then again at the weekend if the pee sticks are still obstinate?

DizzyKipper · 02/11/2011 17:53

Ditto for trying again in the morning. I'm sure it was just due to concentration levels, there's too many signs. bare in mind also that for some it takes ages to get a BFP - this includes my friend who was only just getting a faint positive at 7 weeks when she was pregnant with twins! She's about 30 weeks now and doing well so don't give up.

dreamfeeder · 02/11/2011 18:08

OOOOOHHH!!! have, everything crossed for you. I've never tested with anything less than FMU until way after a BFP, so i'm on for checking tmw!!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 02/11/2011 18:46

Yeah I got carried away tonight. Curiousity killed the cat gave me a bfn
Fmu tomorrow.

Biscuitsandtea · 02/11/2011 18:59

Oh Have - I think it would be fair to say we might have helped to carry you away tonight! You were all for being sensible with FMU anyway - we've egged you on - sorry if we've made it even more of a roller coaster than it already is!

We'll get to the bottom of this!

And if nothing else it passes the time until DH's prolactin appointment?

jaggythistle · 02/11/2011 19:01

Have I am so late to this party!

Fingers xtremley crossed and brooking like nobody's business for you.

eek my powers of spelling have deserterd me in excitement...
