Oooh..I don't have time today to look through all the posts as only just got back from my holiday this morning. Will have a good read tommorow and catch up. Looks like celebrations are in order for Heron at least (yay!)...and me ...got a BFP on Thursday a day after AF was due.

Keep dashing on here and running off again.Will be back tommorow for a proper catch up...

beckmo · 26/05/2008 10:03

Oohh...but just one thing...definatly thought I was coming on my period. Bloated, cramps, mad mood, spots.It's only now 5 days later that I'm getting pregnancy symptons. And boots cheap tests are just as good as early detection ones.

lostittoday · 26/05/2008 10:18

Well I have been imagining nausea feelings.
However they are not always there and some days I don,t feel pregnant at all.
I know I am looking for symptoms and shouldn't be.
Currently on cd 28 but not sure when af due as I have been irregular for the past few months.
My last cycle was a text book 28 days.
If no af within the next few days maybe I should test, but I am not sure as I have also had one cycle that was 62 days.
I am under the care of a gyno as I also have thyroid problems.
I am waiting for af to arrive as I have to have a day 2 blood test.
Fingers crossed for me that its not needed and I will be pregnant.
I so much want to be pregnant.

Hi all - hope you've had a good, if wet, bank holiday weekend?

So still no AF for me...this, as you may remember was after I had two faint positives and then two negatives including a negative from my doctor. Now on CD 40...tested this morning and another faint positive...but then have had very small amount of brown discharge today...could this be implantation spotting, given the fainnt positive, or do you think I'm finally coming on?

Let me know what you think....love a v confused queenie...

Knax · 26/05/2008 18:52

keeping fingers crossed it's implantation spotting queenie!

ohjoy · 27/05/2008 07:48

hi queenie, fingers crossed for you!

you are probably already doing this: make sure you test using your first morning urine. good luck!!!!

ohjoy · 27/05/2008 07:49

queenie, another thought : any chance of you getting a beta hcg blood test from your doctor? a blood test will tell you for sure what is going on !

queenie1 · 27/05/2008 08:42

Thanks for your messages of support. Was going to test again this morning but forgot to stick test in my pee!!! Oh well.

Still very light brown spotting but no more. Will see how / if it progresses over the next few days.

Today DH my concerns and he got really cross with me saying I wasn't pregnant and that I shouldn't get myself excited for nothing. I half know he's right, but this has just been the weirdest of cycles...If no AF by Friday, will test again and go to the doctors...will keep you posted.

Queenie good luck. Must be hard not knowing and I'm not surprised you are confused.

beckmo · 27/05/2008 11:42

And congratulations Ohjoy- just read through last weeks posts. Thanks everyone and good luck x

Knax · 27/05/2008 14:57

Hi everyone,
silly persona question that someone may know the answer to... Although I'm not using a pg test stick yet because I'm resisting, I did just use a persona stick for some reason, as I thought it may test the same hormone?! It had a 2nd fainter line on it and I am hoping that may be a good sign, but as it's not a pg testing kit but an ov testing kit it probably isn't. I know, i know, I'm kidding myself in testing using a non-pg testing kit. blush It's almost as barmy as peeing on a cotton bud (I haven't done that by the way!)

hi knax, sorry to say but i think the faint line is the level of leutenizing hormone in your urine. there is always a low amount of LH in your system. the thing is, HCG and LH look very similar to the persona test stick. if you are pregnant, then testing using the persona test stick should give you the same result as when you get the LH surge (prior to ovulation).

as i am a test addict (!) i used a ovulation test stick (clearblue fertility monitor) and got 2 dark lines, as per what i get prior to ovulation.

apparently, persona and clearblue fertility monitors use the same sticks.

in short, only pregnancy test sticks will tell you for sure if you are pregnant or not.

good luck

Hi Guys I'm still loitering, CD37 today no AF and no BFP

Knax · 27/05/2008 22:18

Hi Littlemiss, as there's no AF there's still hope. I'll keep everything crossed for you. I'm on CD 28, and hoping no AF on her way!
Hi to everyone else too!
Who else is waiting?

queenie1 · 27/05/2008 22:23

Hi all - I'm still loitering too...day 41 now...faint positive yesterday morning but still have light spotting (brown) so went to doctor's again today. Doctor thinks I either am or have been PG so been told to come back in a week. The spotting will either stop and maybe I will be PG, or (and I fear more likely) it will develop into a full on bleed...trying not to feel too down, but not easy...

Knax · 27/05/2008 22:33

Thinking of you queenie, hope all goes well in next week!
Axx

queenie1 · 28/05/2008 08:45

Thanks - much more blood this morning though so I'd say the game is up. Good thing is that the doctor has actually acknowledged this as a possible chemical pregnancy / early miscarriage and, as this would be my third, is considering next steps. Feels positive because I feel I am being taken seriously / looked after...

Wanted to say too that I've got my fingers crossed for you littlemissdaisy...is this really late for you?
