mslucy - oh dear, what a PITA
Bobbydazzler - wasn't having a go and it didn't come across right as I was feeding a baby mindee her bottle at the time plus rushing as had to leave for the Dr's. I want to firstly correct one of my symptoms....I didn't mean to put weeing a lot in that bit - think my current rushing to the loo every 5 mins made me automatically put that . As for everything else, yep, it was dead obvious it was deffo pg symptoms, I was having a go at my best mate a lot and made her cry etc and we'd never fallen out before. Also, if you knew me and how little I ate until I suddenly was eating for England & craving certain foods, you'd understand I just thought I'd post this I got from the internet:
A normal non-pregnant woman is at a level of 5miU or less and from the first day of becoming pregnant the level of HCG doubles every day for the first 3 months until the level is at several hundred thousand. The average woman could, therefore, show a faint line only 1 day after conception but if the level started at 1miU then it would be 3 days after conception that the line would show. Accordingly it can vary from person to person and the actual day of conception in the cycle can vary slightly depending on the day the egg was released from the ovary and the day it was fertilised. Normally we would say that these tests would be certain to show a positive result 6 days after conception. On the 7th day the line would be much darker and so on. Having said that we have had women say they showed positive after only 2 days!! The risk of testing too early being that the test could be a false positive or the fertilised egg may fail and may turn out to be just a heavier period than normal.'
Now the weeing thing I mis quoted from my list of symptoms but I did read that not only does that happen later from pressing on the bladder but also because our body starts producing more waste. Oh, and another thing I got YES as early as a week was that dark line that goes up to your belly button from down below (not sure what called?)
Anyway, everyone is different and I think some symptoms can certainly be misread - look at me, I'm now 98% sure I'm not pg, that a lot of things I was feeling was because I had an infection starting and gradually got worse and the other symptoms to do with my crying, snapping, sore boobs with spots and leaking etc. were/are down to hormones
I agree about not testing anymore though! I've used 4 bloody tests this month but then again, they were cheap from ebay so I thought why not. Well, it's NOT good as each BFN makes you upset doesn't it
Come on TLSM, we're both waiting til Sunday - lets try and NOT test anymore. What's the point.....we get a negative and wonder if we've tested too early anyway - DON'T WE!!! . With ds I tested a couple of days before period was due - BFN, still stopped drinking as was that convinced and my friends insisted I was....either day I was due period or the next day - BFP. So, we're much better off just leaving it!!
Oh and bobbydazzler, thanks, Dr went ok. Quick in and out as had sample with me, got tablets to help clear infection (fine in pg thank god - wishful thinking though!! hehe). Also got cranberry juice and bicarb of soda to put in water. Hopefully be feeling better soon. Reckon the infection came from too much sex and not going to the toilet after (for some reason I thought I shouldn't but been reassured it makes no difference! )
