My AF due today and have some symptoms but BFN on a first response. Find this odd but only time will tell. I am usually never late, have a set luteal phase and regular as clockwork. Never late ever so can't understand why AF not here......

Tinker3 · 17/10/2008 09:40

Well ladies, got a BFP today. Can't quite believe it...

LullyMummaOfOne · 17/10/2008 12:16

Wooow!! Congratulations Tinker3, thats great news.

Still no sign of AF for me, its now CD28 so an wondering if she will appear tomorrow as im normally a 28/29 day cycle!

Tinker3 · 17/10/2008 12:29

Well, I am a 29 day cycle and today is day 29 and I got a positive. I just couldn't believe it - just started shaking.. It's great news in one respect but I am so aware that it's early days... I also feel lucky and humbled, give the stories on here..

beckyjamie1 · 17/10/2008 12:41

congrats tinker thats really good to hear still no AF for me so dont know whats going on atm too scared to test again though coz makes me really down when i get a BFN

ray81 · 17/10/2008 12:41

Oh My god,
Congrats Tinker thats fantastic news well done.

There is hope for the rest of us yet.

Tinker3 · 17/10/2008 12:48

Don't forget, I had BFN last Sat and on Tuesday with early tests...!! There really is hope!

LullyMummaOfOne · 17/10/2008 12:54

I had a BFN last night so im really not holding my breath this month. My DH still thinks its to early for my body to fall PG again (after MC in July) but there are so many stories on here that im sure there is hope yet even if its not this month!

Keep us posted Tink, hope all goes well for you

beckyjamie1 · 17/10/2008 12:59

im sure i just convince myself i could be preg so well that auntie flo actually belives it and doesnt arrive till a week later!!!

LovelyMonster · 17/10/2008 13:05

Congrats tinker, what brilliant news for you!

I had another BFP this morning with digital test. Stll worried that I had chemical pregnancy as had af last saturday. Any know if hcg would still be in system? Cant seem to fing anything on internet. Think I will keep testing maybe every second day this week to see if bfp stays or goes.

Fingers crossed fro everyone else

beckyjamie1 · 17/10/2008 13:15

fingers crossed for you lovelymonster had a look and couldnt find anything either on how long hcg stays in the system. hope everything goes the ways you want

ray81 · 17/10/2008 17:02

Hi lovely monster.

When i had my Mc the hcg only stayed for a few days if that. Its not long. If you are still getting positives then i would say you are def PG
How many weeks since af, not this month but last??? the docs will scan at 7 weeks past last af before pg but i know for a fact they can see it at about 4 weeks as my friend had a scan then and it showed clearly.

If you go to doc and stretch the truth a little they should scan you. Worth a try surely.

Wishing · 17/10/2008 19:59

Hey everyone - hope ots ok to jump in, i have a week to go til af is due and i have a few symptoms and this month i really feel like i could be! well im really hopeful anyways!!

congratulations tinkers thats great news!! hope we have loads more bfps to follow!! Lovely monster i dont have any advice in your situation, but like ray81 suggests maybe visit your docs and stretch the truth!

good luck

xxxxxxx

Tinker3 · 18/10/2008 09:12

Hi there Wishing - lot's of luck to you!!! Lovely Monster - any change?? Have you seen a doc?! Finger's crossed...

LovelyMonster · 18/10/2008 10:23

Still testing positive and very sore boobs so still hope i guess. Will go and see doctor sometime this week. Last period was about 13th sept so 5 weeks today. I might try to convince dr that i need scan to exclude eptopic (that could explain normal bleeding?)

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the weekend!

spats · 18/10/2008 10:57

Hi all,

Well another positive test this morning. Still sore boobs and wow feeling nauseous for the first time this morning.

Would hcg still be in my system now if I had had chemical pregnancy (what I thought was af started last sat). Dont want to believe this is real just in case it all fall apart horribly.

Good luck for bding spats!!

VeryKeenForABean · 19/10/2008 15:40

Good luck Wishing, fingers crossed for you!

Congratulations Tinker!! & Welcome back Spats. good luck at the w/e!

Lovely Monster, as I have said before, plenty of people bleed in early pregnancy (and later) and all is well. However - and please understand I have no wish to worry or upset you, and I speak from a different place - it does sometimes mean things aren't right. I think no health professional is going to need persuading to scan/monitor you and if you get any pain or odd symptoms you should seek help promptly. Hopefully, any investigation would show all is well and you can relax and enjoy - fingers crossed for you.

I have started spotting today, so think AF is coming for a late stay. Have tested a few times over the last few days, but BFNs Why does she have to be late when i am so aware of my days?! Am now worrying such a long cycle means I may have trouble (always worrying about something!!)

Baby dust to all

Wishing · 20/10/2008 08:52

hello all!

thanks very keen 4 a bean! Lovely monster i would definately go to docs and plead for a scan or something - this must be sending you crazy!! thinking of you!

good luck with bding spatz - im still on wth 2ww cd 26 of usually 29 days! so still everything to hope for - one minute i sure i am then i tell myself not to convince myself and cause more upset but this is so difficult!!

love to all

xxxxxxxxx

Tinker3 · 20/10/2008 08:53

Well, I still have a BFP but bled quite a bit yesterday - really worrying. I think the hard bit it is trying to relax and phyiscally stay pregnant.. I keep checking and reading up on stuff - it's all so consumming!

Really hope some of you have had good news over the weekend?

LullyMummaOfOne · 20/10/2008 09:01

Hello Ladies, im just catchin up with everything as i wasnt MNing this weekend. After having a negative on Friday i only went anfd got a BFP on Saturday & sunday morning. I even used my free clearblue conception indicator one and that also said PREGNANT!!
I cant quite believe and i really hope this one is here to stay! I dont really have sysmtos yet just tender boobies and feeling bloated in lower tummy.

Tink are you going to see the Doc about your bleed?

Wishing · 20/10/2008 09:22

COngrqatulations tinker 3 and lullymumma of one!! tink try not to worry , get to docs if you can it isnt unusual to bleed in early stages and some people bleed throughout being pg!! really try not to panic, i knwo its not easy but get to docs to put your mind at rest

good luck to all!!! xxxxxxxx

Tinker3 · 20/10/2008 09:37

Lully - that's great! It's such good news but as you say - I hope our BFP's are here to stay!

Think I will get bleed checked out, although I don't want to make a fuss? TMI, but the blood is dark red/brown and sticky... Enough to stain knickers but not enough to wear a panty liner... I just don't know, it's all so new!!! Aghhhh.

Wishing · 20/10/2008 09:41

keep in touch tinker!

spats · 20/10/2008 13:12
