Ps -cycle 6 for me. Didn't take clomid this cycle as I messed up thinking the AF was implantation spotting. The thing is I didn't bleed at all since last cycle. Don't know if u remember. So my last bleed was 11 July. Then I had spotting 1 August but it was just pink then brown creamy cm.

Think u are right and 2 hrs prob not long enough. Will have to wait till tomorrow. Haven't got any other tests here. Might pop out later and get one just incase!

Footy1 · 26/08/2016 15:49

Kate hope it goes quickly for u. X

Ps- glad things going well for u so far. Looking forward to seeing your scan picture.

FOOOOOOTY!! Omg fingers crossed for you love, I hope this is it! x

Kate I wonder if this AF pattern is related to your CP? My periods have been weird since my MC 5 months ago. I'd have a couple of heavy days, then it would stop completely for a day, then a couple of further days spotting?! Just figure it's everything repairing and readjusting. With the exception of continued clots (tmi), my period was a normal 5 dayer for the first time since MC this cycle. Have been surprised how much such an early MC affected things! x

physicskate · 26/08/2016 17:47

OMG Tee. Because this is the first time I've seen clots (sorry tmi) since coil out in Nov!!! I'm just frustrated cause I wanted some tonight... Hmm. Well Hopefully it was my last AF for awhile... Grin. That will make me put up with it a bit more!!

Footy everything is crossed - including my legs apparently!

Tee4me · 26/08/2016 18:09

Oh that's interesting!! I've read that clots are very normal after MC or CP. I think maybe the aspirin I started taking this cycle helped regulate the flow back to a steady 5 day affair.
My twin has been advised to take low dose aspirin in her pregnancy now, as they detected a low hormone from her bloods. My acupuncturist assured me there was certainly no harm taking it, being such low dose... it sounds like a bit of a fertility/pregnancy wonder drug!

LondonJem · 26/08/2016 18:18

Footy the anticipation is killing me!

Got my blood test results back

Where's my baby HmmHmmHmm

Footy1 · 26/08/2016 20:41

No news.. The IC was negative at 7pm. Could only buy a clearblue digi single test so will do an IC in morning and if that looks promising then I'll try the CB one.

Tee4me · 26/08/2016 20:52

Good luck for the morning, FX! Grin x

Footy1 · 26/08/2016 21:45

Jem- at least u can relax a bit knowing everything was normal. Pleased for you.

You can imagine, I'm sitting here and analysing every twinge and am now symptom spotting! I haven't mentioned anything to DH, well we are not actually talking much this week so I've not even considered if I am or not up until now.
I am really trying not to get my hopes up here but it's hard as the half line from first test is clear even now, really unlucky and disappointing if it's a false one. I checked date of packet and it's in date.

Anyone test at 9dpo and got a strong line in evening?

Footy1 · 26/08/2016 21:48

*i mean first test is really clear as in definitely there. Don't have to hold it in the light etc..

Will keep u posted in the morning..! Thanks girls X

ps2304 · 27/08/2016 06:46

Footy how's it gone?!

Footy1 · 27/08/2016 08:00

Bfn Sad

I've only done the IC one and it's a bfn. Not even a squinter. I'm really confused! Checked the first test again and the line is def there. Darker at top and it fades until 3/4 way then a real faint line. It came up in the right time. I googled it and it says for any colour to b on the test line it would have had to trace hcg. I have had a backache in night which was def more on one side. ( but I have bad back anyway) and had a dull cramp in tummy. So makes we wonder if it's a cp? Or maybe a dud test?!

LondonJem · 27/08/2016 09:00

Do hcg levels fluctuate? Oh footy how confusing this must be torture. It's still very early too, will you test again later?

I've just got to the airport to go on a trip with DH - and forgotten my passport Confused DH is not impressed Envy my poor brother is on his way now with it. Making me appreciate having a caring family a LOT!

Footy1 · 27/08/2016 09:00

Found this on the net- quite interesting read.- so it must be a cp?

However, if you do a test and you get the faintest coloured line in the 'pregnancy' test-strip/assay area on the test, then HCG has definitely been detected. If it's faint, then HCG is present in very low concentration, and if it is a dark coloured line, then the concentration of HCG is higher. But whatever the concentrations, provided you get a colour in he 'pregnancy' area, then you are pregnant at the time of testing. And now for the famous 'evaporation lines' that so many people – and 'experts' talk about. To start-with, no evaporation line will be coloured (pink or blue etc. depending on the test you used). Only the HCG can combine with the pregnancy-assay molecules and bring about a colour-change. So if the line is coloured – no matter how faint the line is – then HCG made the line change colour – nothing else! However, just like the wet tissue-paper we talked about earlier, if the area is simply wet with urine, the pregnancy strip may possibly turn a little 'grey' – like a 'shadowy' colour; but if there is no pink or blue colour, then no HCG has been detected

Tee4me · 27/08/2016 09:13

Ah pants you are going through this torture Footy. Are you tempted to use your CB?! Unfortunately it may just have to be a case of watching and waiting. You're still pretty early! Eeekkk, what will you do with yourself today?! x

Footy1 · 27/08/2016 09:22

10dpo Star

Torture you are right tee! After a rather difficult cycle and a bad few weeks with the DH it would have been nice. I def have been peeing more and empty tummy sick feeling at 4am. Boobs look bigger- but only just noticed. Got a feeling AF will come when due in 4 days time if not sooner.

I'll test again with my 12 noon wee, with an opk also. Want to save the cbdigi.
The opk must have picked it up also as my temps are still above coverline. Kinda wish I hadn't tested now ! But in a way if a cp then at least I know the body can get upduffed still.

Footy1 · 27/08/2016 09:27

And if I had been -would have been pretty lucky to have fallen after only one dtd session day before ovulation! Had lots of stress last couple of weeks also with no clomid.

Today I need to distract myself to stop me obsessing over Google and tests.

physicskate · 27/08/2016 09:27

I don't mean to give you false hope or anything like that! But I've heard that some women get higher hcg concentrations in the afternoon?? As in negative with fmu and then faint positive in afternoon.

Busta · 27/08/2016 12:28

Footy can you get a FRER? The IC are sometimes really bad! I say remain positive Smile

Jem, this is what I worry about too - if all tests come back normal - why no baby?? Angry sometimes it feels like if they can find a problem, then they can fix it - it gives you hope. If they find nothing you are left feeling Confused

How are you doing Tee & Kate?

CD 6 - this is going to be a chilled cycle I think. Still temping & doing OPKs as I enjoy doing them & I like seeing where my cycle is & adding data to FF. But no massive DTD-athon. Doctors on Tuesday - so that'll be interesting.

physicskate · 27/08/2016 14:47

CD 7. Spotting stopped yesterday evening. Looking forward to tonight...

Any more news Foot?

Hope everything's gone alright with the traveling Jem.

Busta - was talking to my oh about this same thing. We started ttc in April, but had coil removed in Nov, so dh said if nothing happens by Dec to go and start investigations. And I was thinking AH! but loads of couples with nowt wrong may not have conceived by then, so they will just say nothing wrong and fob us off... I think that would be kinda hard to deal with.

I guess because we don't have any kids they might do something, but not sure I want that as a first course of action...

Footy1 · 27/08/2016 16:55

No it's a bfn again, but strong positive on opk. Had quite bad pains this afternoon.
Really have no idea..
Just got to wait..Hmm

LondonJem · 27/08/2016 20:12

Could you be ovulating footy? What cd are you again?

Footy1 · 27/08/2016 21:30

Cd27 Jem. It's possible it does feel like those type of pains. Really confused as to why the hcg was positive also? Going to see what the thermometer says in morning.
Not trusting the IC's.  horrible horrible day of disappointment. But hoping to get some answers in a few days .

Hope you got your passport ok! 

LondonJem · 28/08/2016 00:08

Big hug for you lovely the last few days can't have been easy xx I really hope it's still your month FlowersFlowers

Tee4me · 28/08/2016 08:54

Did you try again this morning Footy? x
