We're TTCing DC2 and it's taking a while. DH was away the weekend of my most fertile time but we DTD loads the day before he went so there would have been sperm alive and kicking over the next couple of days.

AF is two days late and I had cramps the week beginning of when it was due, and had back ache and cramps this morning. I've caved and done a few OV strip tests and while not conclusively positive, they're getting darker. I almost daren't get a HPT though because I did some a few days ago and they were negative.

I daren't let myself hope, I keep feeling something coming and going to check...but obviously I am hoping because I posting this! Oh this is a special kind of torture.

Thanks ladies, you're all lovely. I got a CB the day before - the digital said not pregnant on Tuesday but yesterday the plus/minus one had a definite plus in it albeit faint. God this is a long and unnecessary drama. Still no AF - now five days late. I know it's going to be resolved one way or other - either AF arrives or I get a BFP -but this is getting silly. I registered with a new GP and have a standard nurse's appointment today, maybe I'll mention it to her then.

Definitely there! I would say you def are! I got not pregnant on a dig but faint positives, dig finally gave me pregnant 7 days after my first positive x

Yes speak to the nurse about it today, and if you implanted late, that might explain why you are not getting strong positives yet x

How did you get on with the nurse today?

ZebraZeebra · 06/06/2014 08:07

She couldn't really do/tell me anything, it's the GP that tests so I made an appointment for Monday...but "AF" arrived this morning. So I guess given the few BFPs, it was a chemical pregnancy. Thanks for all your finger crossing and support, it was really helpful and I appreciate it.

Sorry to hear that Sad

cookielove · 06/06/2014 11:12

Oh no, sorry to hear that! Is it def Af or maybe implant spotting?

I think as you have had a + it is actually an early miscarriage not a chemical pregnancy!

ItStillLooksLikeRainDear · 06/06/2014 15:28

Sorry to hear that. Thanks

1moretime · 06/06/2014 19:25
