I took a test this morning using an Asda cheepie one but i'm confused. On the test there is the result window which is square and an oval window which a line appears to say the test has worked.

In the diagram the lines are virtical (a pregnant result would be a virtical line in the result window and a virtical line in the oval window.) I am sure though i could see the faintest line in the result window but it was horizontal? Confused??

I have ulcers in my mouth today which is a big sign of AF but no blood yet so she could be on her way. If no blood by Wednsday i will test again.

Bucky2007 · 02/12/2007 20:19

The has arrived in Chez de Bucky. BDing ahoy and DP is back (hurrah) so all is well . Hopefully an egg will be despatched and the 2ww will commence!

I have a mental day tomorrow . I have the day off work, but I have to take the dog to the vet (herts), get a dress for my work xmas party on friday and get my hair done at 3pm on South Molton Street then meet someone for drinks at 6pm. Its going to be hard to fit it all in...I am stressing already. Especially as I don't have a vet appointment and Finn is ill . I am really highly strung these days and I don't even have dc yet!

Bucky2007 · 02/12/2007 20:22

MsSparkler we cross posted. Sounds v. strange . Could it have been an evap line??

MsSparklingXmasTree · 02/12/2007 20:26

Hiya, just altered my name slighty for a more Christmas feel! It's Ms Sparkler here.

It could have been. I am just going to wait until Wednsday now as i have spent a small fortune on tests already!

digitalgirl · 02/12/2007 20:49

evenin'

bucky sounds like a busy day tomorrow, no time to think about 2ww or anything. hope finn's ok and you find a nice dress, there's loads of party dresses on the ground floor in Selfridges (v. near South Molton St)

shreksmissus I have a sore back too! But I really don't feel pg. I'm hoping that's a good sign because last two cycles I was absolutely convinced I was pg.

sorry no advice on your confusing hpt MsSparkler I have only ever done ebay cheapies (just look for the second line) and CBD (says 'not pregnant' or 'pregnant'). Hope you make it to Wednesday!

MsSparklingXmasTree · 02/12/2007 20:52

I left the test i took this morning on the sink in the bathroom and when i went in there and saw it i took a look and i could see a very faint virtical line in the result window. It was taken 12 hours ago so it is probably very wrong by now!

digitalgirl · 02/12/2007 20:54

MsSparkler that's def an evap line. chuck it in the bin so you're not tempted to look at it!!!

MsSparklingXmasTree · 02/12/2007 20:58

I have chucked it in the bin. I will test on Wednsday if no AF but i really don't think i am pregnant.

07mumstheword · 02/12/2007 21:17

DG Fingers crossed. Don't you have acupuncture tomorrow so you were gonna test in the morning if no AF?

Bucky Deep breaths tomorrow! Hope you get an appointment for Finn & he's ok and you get a party dress is a knockout.

MsSparkler These tests can be very inconclusive. Like you say re-test and lets hope its a lovely clear BFP.

CoolKat I hope all is ok.

Griffyn I feel for you. It's surprising how you can worry about falling PG straight away then within a couple of months wonder what on earth is wrong! I'm not quite as far as 12 cycles but on my 8th and finding it harder and harder.

Hello to everyone else.

Let me finish by telling you a story. I had my on OPK Friday and Saturday ( does that mean anything? 2 days in a row? ) and wanted to make sure I didn't have one today. So as usual I pee'd in my plastic cup got the OPK ready stuck it in to find an error message. So got another stick from the cupboard turned around and kicked my cup of wee that I'd stupidly put on the floor all over the carpet! There was a tiny dribble left in the cup so managed to do another test and set about getting on my hands and knees to clear up the mess! I didn't get a face so one more bed tonight then I'm on my 2ww. We've done it every day since Thursday so can't do much more than that.

coolkat · 02/12/2007 21:37

Hi Ladies

I have just posted this on the due july thread and wanted to tell you as I feel a bond with many of you.....

I have spent the afternoon in A & E. I have been bleedng badly and have had lots of clot like things coming out TMI.

After several needles and an internal the doctor says my womb is closed and it could be a threatened miscarriage, any way after another urine test which came out BFN he states that it probably is a miscarriage, me and DH had guessed this due to pain and clots.
I have to wait for tomorrow for blood results to see whether they are scanning me but I think it is fair to say its over for me.

I will let you know and I pray you will all be ok, I can't beleive it really, gutted and the awful experience today has kinda put me off for a while.

Bye. X

I may come back on here or just hover for a while,

COOLKAT

you poor poor thing coolkat, what an upsetting experience. i hope it's over relatively quickly and you get lots of rest.
make sure DH takes good care of you.

TwilightSurfer · 03/12/2007 01:06

Coolkat it's very early but support in the earliest stages helps in so many ways. That said, you are invited to join me and many others on the MC Avengers thread. At this moment there are two ladies who are mid-miscarriage on the thread. Come over when you're ready, we'll be there waiting.

JollyBear · 03/12/2007 09:13

I'm so very sorry Coolkat. Take care xxxxx

PoinsettiaBouquets · 03/12/2007 09:40

Hard luck old chap Coolkat, look after yourself.
It's au revoir from me I'm afraid, took the kitchen timer to the loo with me this am and def no line before 10mins. Hopefully some time next year I'll convince DH to actively start ttc for no3, rather than me getting my hopes up about accidents like this.
Good luck all, try and get some fresh air occasionally LOL .

digitalgirl · 03/12/2007 10:02

sorry for the BFN Poinsettia

same here, BFN for me this morning. although, temp wasn't that high so I sort of knew. it's so hard to remain positive after a BFN. I really want a baby, we've saved up, we've had sex, we love each other very much, why is it so hard?

just want AF to come now (but I don't really, just want a BFP)

PoinsettiaBouquets · 03/12/2007 10:16

I think the answer is to throw yourself into a flurry of activity so you don't have time to think about it. Lots of Christmas collection projects needing volunteers everywhere? I did shoebox checking one year, it was great fun. Or have a clearout of junk and clothes for your local poverty charity? Purely for selfishly smug feeling of being selfless LOL, beats PMT and AF blues.
I'm on pre-school committee so I pledge to get fully stuck in to helping organise their craft days and Xmas party over the next 2wks.

GryffinGirl · 03/12/2007 10:19

oh no coolkat . Thinking of you. Please come back and join us when you are ready and lots of love.

DG - I am so sorry to hear about your BFN . It is devastating and you are doing everything right. Thinking of you too.

I tested yesterday (2/3 days early) and it was a BFN for me too, so I am out this month . The sore (.)(.) are lessening (always happens before AF) and I don;t feel any different. That has been 12 months of TTC#1 for us (6 months of that tally, TTC obsessively) and we did everything we could. I just can't work it out, so I suppose it's off to the doctor for me now. I have regular as clockwork cycles, clear OPK readings, very regular BD-ing and still absolutely nothing.

I had a mini meltdown on the way to work this morning. Another typical day on London Underground and when I didn't get on a train I burst into tears with everything. I am so worried about everything to do with TTC. Even my career is tied up as I stick at this job to get the maternity pay even though I hate it, I want to move out of London, "to bring up a family" supposedly, but also because I am desperate to go back to my friends and family in Scotland. DH wouldn't go without us having LOs.

Sorry, I am making a big deal, but I am floored today, really. Maybe a year isn't that long, but bl**dy hell it feels it. G8D I am welling up.

DH is going to go for a sperm test, but we may go privately to speed things up. He isn't registered with a GP in London (not through lack of trying - typical London surgeries, bursting at the seams with patients and closed lists), so it may be simpler to go with a clinic for the initial check out and we can rule out/in that being an issue. Neither of us have any (known) previous TTC form - no DCs, no MCs, nothing.

whitedaisy · 03/12/2007 10:28

Hi everyone! My temp has been 97.5 almost every day since ovulation. Yesterday it dropped to 97.3(8 dpo) and today it was 97.8 Do you think this sounds like an implantation dip? xxx

digitalgirl · 03/12/2007 10:39

gg now I'm welling up too! I really, really feel for you. 12 months is long. You've both been so patient. Are you going to go for some tests too? I know what you mean about the job thing...you try really hard not to plan ahead with a pregnancy in mind, but ttc'ing is all you can think about. I threw myself into my job when I decided to put TTC off for a year. Now I don't care so much about it,
We've never had any bfps before either, but I know I've got a way to go before I qualify for any proper tests.

GryffinGirl · 03/12/2007 10:50

DG - oh no, I am so sorry if I have upset you too . I know you had a BFN too and so we are all in this together. Don't let me hijack. I am going to book an appointment with my GP as soon as I can get one. There is usually a week+ wait to get an appointment, but probably more in the flu/cold months. Realistically, with Christmas coming when we are away and my re-booked holiday in the first two weeks of January, I imagine it will be Feb before anything meaningful could be discovered.

everyone - I am sorry for the dampener on the 2WW thread. You have become like my TTC family and I know you understand. I have always been so positive before - disappointed maybe when AF turns up, but not utterly distraught - and I don't know what has come over me this month .

Hello all,

GG - I think the best bit of these threads are you are able to air how you are feeling outside of RL. I'm sorry you haven't had good news this month - you have every right to feel upset. A two week break in January sounds like a great idea. Are you going somewhere sunny?

DG - I'm sorry you haven't had better news either.

hidingbehindthesofa · 03/12/2007 11:59

coolkat, i'm so sorry to hear your news. my thoughts and prayers are with you. do take good care of yourself at this time. FWIW, i think poinsetta's advice is really good. voluntary work has always helped me get through my own tough times. takes your mind off things close to home and ideally keeps you distracted enough till things go right again!

and gryffngirl, what a miserable morning for you today. you are always so positive and you've been so welcoming to me. i'm sending out big warm virtual hugs to you and your dh. hope you get going with the GP speedily.
no news here. going to buy some more tests today and see how long i can wait before using them..

big hugs and good vibes to all
