thanks!!!!! goodluck to everyone,i didt have many symptoms though i had feeling of af arriving but no sore boobs or anything!! hopefully more of you with good news at weekend!! xxx

Sexyandhappy · 19/10/2004 10:00

Brilliant Binatracy
Thanks Jeddah.... how do you know all of that ?
Can't they test for pregnancy in that blood test ?

Sexyandhappy · 19/10/2004 10:01

And how long does it take to have the results.... I guess I can ask the nurse but I am so keen

golds · 19/10/2004 10:06

Haven't posted for a couple of week, but have lurked a little.

Congratulations to all the BFP and hello all newbies.

Well I am sitting here on CD29, AF usually turns up on CD28, but this is my first month off the pill so I maybe a little out of sinc.

The waiting is unbearable, but I'm sure knowing my luck AF will turn up tomorrow. Will keep you posted

jeddah · 19/10/2004 10:12

sexandhappy
yes they will also do a pregnancy test aswell.

I am a nurse, midwife and health visitor. The tests will generally be back 5-7 days, sometimes sooner....depending on the lab and mode of transfering the results back to the GP practice

Good luck

Thinking about this new thread thing!! I think I understand now........I also think its a good idea to wait until after the weekend...... due to all the testing

i have decided to wait until then to test, so I am doing it with the rest of the testers! I come back from barcelona on sat night so if af has not arrived, I will be testing Sun Morning....god can I wait? My sister wants me to test tomorrow morning before I go!

jeddah · 19/10/2004 10:14

golds
will you be testing at the weekend too?

Bagpuss30 · 19/10/2004 10:21

Good plan Runtus .

Sexyandhappy · 19/10/2004 10:24

Jeddah (sorry to hassle you)... the GP said the blood test would not test for pregnancy? Should I play daft and ask the nurse then ?

Twiga · 19/10/2004 10:30

Morning (at a more reasonable hour this time)! Please, please leave the thread in place until us weekend testers have done our thing - maybe we're get a full house! Golds are we adding you to the list too?

Sweetheart, well done on your result at ww last night, sounds like you had a great feast last night. Is your friend to be trusted (meant in the nicest poss way) or do we still need to find a secret handshake to convey your news?

Congratulations Binatracey - graduate six !

Jeddah, you can feel like af about to arrive if pg, i know i was just waiting for it when i got my bfp the last time. Can't remember much as wasn't expecting to be pg then mc at 6/7 weeks, but how your feeling sounds fine either way.

{{{hugs}}} to Bagpuss and ds, sorry to hear you both had a rotten night x

CD29 here and playing the waiting game. On days off work just now and going to be hectic, have to toddler proof/tidy my house before my neice arrives on Sunday - should keep my mind off things................think will probably test on fri morning if af not arrived, don't know that i have the patience to wait past then.

Bagpuss30 · 19/10/2004 10:37

Ok ladies, I have just opened my packet of tests (to read the instructions you understand ). AF is officially due on Saturday but I will be 14 dpo on Friday. My cycle this month should be 29 days as I ov'ed on CD15 this month. Last month Persona didn't detect ov and my cycle was 35 days. The test packet says I should wait until my longest possible CD if I have irregular cycles (which I do) but I know that my cycle will be 29 days as it has been every other month for the past 6 months IYSWIM? So (she says getting round to the point finally) when should I test?

Bagpuss30 · 19/10/2004 10:38

Thanks Tania and Twiga for your concern - ds playing now but still poorly

Twiga · 19/10/2004 10:43

Bagpuss, not sure, but i would test at the earliest poss point then if bfn again at the longest point IYSWIM - covers all bases?! I'm in a similar position in that since the my mc three months ago my cycles have not been right at all (last one was ten days longer than it should have been). I was getting cramping and sore boobs in the fortnights run up to when i thought af due and this month that hasn't happened so i'm assuming that I'm back to 28/29 days and things have settled down, hence going ahead with testing at the weekend. Sorry if a bit long winded.....

jeddah · 19/10/2004 10:45

sexandhappy, you will never be hassling me...just so chuffed to help with advice!

The nurse will take the blood for the tests that have been requested by the gp!....... if he hasn't requested a preggers test, then she will just do the fertility tests. However!....... if you play a bit dumb...... and say that you have the feeling that you also maybe pregnant....(get your dates ready in your mind as she will probably ask for date of first day of last period).......she should do one! (if she is a decent nurse!) If it was me I would also add this test to the form!
Bit difficult really as depends on the nurse!

Bagpuss30 · 19/10/2004 10:45

Thanks Twiga, will do!

sweetheart · 19/10/2004 10:49

Twiga,

my friend was quite upset yesterday at the suggestion that she was spying on me and she promised not to do it anymore - that said.......

she probably can't resist it (sorry BTW aprilmeadow if your reading this!!!!!!)

Anyway - she'd probably pretend she didn't know and wait for me to tell her now I know her dirty little secret!!!!!!

jeddah · 19/10/2004 10:50

bagpuss30....... if you deffinately know that you are 14dpo......you could test now!.......and if bfn, test again like twiga says...at the longest point?
What do your gut instincts say????

Sexyandhappy · 19/10/2004 10:50

That would be in blood test or could she give me a stick ? I haven't had any periods since 6 Sept (or there abouts)....

jeddah · 19/10/2004 10:52

bagpuss30 I have been on this site for nearly 2 hrs!!!!!! if you are testing now, I will wait to come off for a little while longer

Twiga · 19/10/2004 10:54

Oh bless, poor aprilmeadow - well that's a secret a piece, maybe she could post from time to time to say hi?! I reckon she sounds like a lovely friend - remember when you took a bit of a pasting on that thread she stuck up for you?! I'm terrible at keeping secrets and if I do get a bfp this weekend I know I'll need to tell someone other than dh in RL just to keep me sane so maybe aprilmeadow knowing not such a bad thing and you could just chat about it on here to keep it secret.

jeddah · 19/10/2004 10:55

sexandhappy
you could be really clever and say that you feel preggers, ask for her to do a stick test....to save on her time of blood taking!!!!......nurses love saving time!

Bagpuss30 · 19/10/2004 10:56

Jeddah, I will be 14 DPO on Friday which is when I was thinking of testing anyway. It is still tempting now but I promise I won't .

MommyD · 19/10/2004 10:58

only a quick post - got a meeting.... jeddah YES. I had bad AF pains just before AF due with BOTH my pg.

LipstickM - I ov on cd 13 (poss 14)

I've burst into tears twice this morning at work (in the loos, I might add) I feel so blue

Twiga · 19/10/2004 10:58

Jeddah is it tomorrow you're off to Barcelona? Hope you have a fab time. It's nice to know this thread has it's own resident nurse/midwife/health visitor - you should maybe charge commission?!

Sexyandhappy · 19/10/2004 10:58

She might tell me to buy sticks

Twiga · 19/10/2004 10:59

{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}} MommyD, hope you are ok x
