my story

[feelinbloo]

i posted this in pregnancy but probably should be in here...its a bit of a long one... i was on the depo for one injection, finished last decemeber i never had it redone...and bled and bled and bled...had to go on the patch contraceptive to sort it out, which it did, came off patch had a normal period beginning the 16th of may...then on the 31st of may i had asort of jeely like dark brown smear, just the once...then nothing. About 4 days later i started feeling sick. then i began to get sore boobs and i did a test about 4 days ago, an ebay dip test style that came up a faint but pink positive. obviously i was delighted...told everyone because i am a fool...but then got BFN's when i next tested. On the same style tests i have faint faint lines, but they are not getting stronger...on first response, clear blue and tesco brand, nothing at all. I dont know what to think. i recently got diagnosed with cystitus this morning too. any thoughts?

Hiya....that's the attitude I'd have. It is so demoralising when you think you 'maybe' and it turns out you're not... It took me 5yrs to get pregnant the first time. It was an awful time and each month I used to keep my fingers crossed and each time I came on with the dreaded hated period....After my first child it took me another 4 yrs to get pregnant with my second child and it was again a case of sitting with my fingers crossed each month. I found it was beginning to rule my life and I dread to think how much I spent on pregnancy kits - in a way I became obsessed with getting pregnant especially with our first child. There was many a time I would be sat on the loo sobbing my heart out knowing my period had just started. I used to question why it was so easy for so many girls to get pregnant and why not me? Second time around I used to say 'well atleast I already have one child'...because there are so many women out there that are desperate for just one child and simply can't have them, even with IVF. xx

i have been to docs today, and my wee sample is off to the hospital, not hoping for anything now, AF due today, done test, clear blue...big fat negative, but i am feeling better about it all now, if i am not well there is always next month hey xx

well i did the second clearblue test as i am a POAS freak and just couldnt resist...after 5 mins...i thought i could see a little vertical line appearing...by 8 mins i could see a line. Faint and it was only faintly blue coloured on the left hand side of the line, then it just faded to the right...if i was pregnant then i would only be 3 weeks 5 days...the clear blue test says you have 10 mins before the result is no longer valid and it was there by 8. but faint faint faint. GAAAH. anyways, still not saying i am preggers, not going to think it until a few days time where i will know either way.

Have you tried not weeing all night and doing a test first thing in the morning when the hcg will be more concentrated? I got a BFP on a clearblue digital 3 days before AF was due using first morning wee.

I'd add to that....your hormone levels are very high first thing in the morning....so I'd definitely do your next test first thing.....by the sounds of it I wouldn't give up hope just yet...wait and see time I'd say!

i will buy another in a few days if no AF arrives and try again ;)

Good luck xx
