Anyone else?

I was thinking when it didnt work 'I just cant do it....I cant take it back...they might ask to see the results window.....and then...' I just thought Id go and buy another one, Ive never taken one back, but i know that some people would!

oneyummymummy · 19/01/2009 19:05

Does anyone know how the OP is, she hasn't posted in a while!

oneyummymummy · 19/01/2009 19:05

Or maybe its just that I post too much

bubblebell1 · 19/01/2009 19:18

i havnt heard from her....or seen her on other threads
i wouldnt take it back... depending on my mood i might consider writing to them lol to get money for more tests

oneyummymummy · 19/01/2009 19:28

OK....so I just tested again and it was a BFN!! Not that Im deluded and trying to convince myself or anything, but do you think it could be wrong? The other one in the pack didnt work and this one had a line in the control box but I could see the line in the other box but it was white and the surrounding colour was a pinky colour (the colour it turns when it is absorbing the fluid) This is probably because I was looking for something and if i had shown it to anyone else they would probably say that there was nothing there! But with one dud test, I just feel like I should have bought the dearer CB ones instead of the cheapy ones!

AngelFairy · 19/01/2009 19:28

Yummy... Someone on another thread said they pulled their test apart and realigned the paper in the window, to find a BFP! Worth a try... If not, I'd do what Bubble said and write/call them.
Good luck with the next test though. If you test tonight and it's a bfn you'll be wishing you waited until morning... ?

bubblebell1 · 19/01/2009 19:31

yummy i think that it was coz your wee wasnt strong enough... i reckon if you did a first morn sample then it would be more accurate..

oneyummymummy · 19/01/2009 19:48

angel and bubble your right I do wish that I had waited until the morning, at least I would have known that it was as accurate as it was going to get! But no more tests now, so will have to wait until the morning after tomorrow!

STILL no AF though....

bubblebell1 · 19/01/2009 21:02

thats a good thing tho yummy... i hope af stays away and when u test its a BFP

AngelFairy · 20/01/2009 08:29

Yummy... Will you hold your per and run out to buy a new test? ;)

AngelFairy · 20/01/2009 08:30

sammysam · 20/01/2009 08:43

Morning ladies.....sorry I've been quiet on here.....I'm so scared
I was shaking this morning when I took my temp (in case it had dropped) and then when I took another test-and i NEVER EVER shake EVER even when I feel like i am iyswim?
It was a BFP anagin-on a test you can't take early. Trouble is I still don't believe it is true/right etc so i'm not as as I thought i'd be.

Part of that (obv. the usual worries) but also my sister is arranging her hen do now-a week in Cyprus and she wants it booked by the weekend. All good you might think....but we go on sep 30th. If this pg is real (i know i'm a stupid cow ) then I'm due on the 1st October. What the hell do i do?

Firstly the hol has been sorted out very much around me-its got a (hard to find) free place for my dd, family resort, and so i'm back for mine and dps anniversary.
I would never have told anyone (obv. other than dp!!) before 3 months as being pg turns me into a very supersticious freak (have you guessed that yet?!!) but I really am going to have to as if I went along with it and just gave my deposit (knowing I'm going to loose it) then when I can't go (hopefully)my sis and mum will be upset (and happy!) and if i told them now then maybe it would be able to be rearranged so I can go.
But i really don't want to this early-I mean af was only due yesterday/today so it really is early and then if it does (touch wood not) go wrong then I've messed all 13 people around....... AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH what bad timing. What would you do? Am I being stupid? I'm a very private person-stemming from how nosey my mum and sis are!!!! I know a lot of people wouldn't worry.....

I've also got another dilema-i've been doing boxercise and pilates-should I carry on? I know I have to stop pilates as i'm sure the thing i signed at the start said it isn't safe under 15wks but what about boxercise? But if i do stop I have 2 friends i do it with-how doi make it not obvious why i've stopped? I'm still ill so i can easily cover up this week.....and meybe next..then what?

I'm so sorry for all the pessamistic ramble....as you can tell I have a lot going round in my head....plus i'm still worried the test is wrong .......am I the most stupid crazy woman in the whole wide world or what?!!!!!
Thanks for listening ladies x x x x x

sammysam · 20/01/2009 08:55

Oh i'm so preocupied....How is everyone this morning? I hope you get your BFP when you test yummy and anyone else aboutto test!
Good luck bd everyone else x x x

sammysam · 20/01/2009 09:13

Oh bugger......you all must be at work or out now my head is whirling around
I'm excited, scared, trying to be realistic, confused etc etc-I forgot the crazy range of emotions you end up feeling

BlackCherry · 20/01/2009 09:57

Morning Sammysam!

Congrats on your BFP!

I don't think you're being crazy, it's natural to have these worries.
I would tell your sister that you might be pregnant and ask her if she would hold of on booking the holiday for say another week? By that time you'll hopefullly really know and believe it.
As for your pilates friends, I would make up any old excuse (eg you just not enjoying it)then after 12 weeks tell them the real reason. They will understand.

Good luck Yummymummy.

congrats boob!

xx

sammysam · 20/01/2009 10:03

Thank you blackCherry-It was echoing in here! You are right i do need to say that-just wish i didn't have to iyswim but not that I didn't have a BFP but that i wasn't in the situation where i had to tell people early-god i don't make sense!!!

BlackCherry · 20/01/2009 10:12

Yeah, I feel for you, it's doesn't sound like the best timing!
At least it's your sister, will she keep it to herself if you tell her?

xx

Joy27 · 20/01/2009 10:19

Oh Sammy you do sound in a muddle! But remember, a positive is a positive! And just think, however stressed you feel, your little zygote (or whatever it's called at this stage) is nestled in the nice warm, dark calm, not stressed at all. Sorry if that sounds weird but it would make me feel calmer.

Re pilates I'd just say that I'd pulled a muscle/slipped a disc and couldn't go for a while. As for the holiday, it is a bit more tricky. You've got to tell them really haven't you? You could ask them to keep it to themselves for now. Would it be possible to go somewhere in the UK, perhaps at the beginning of September? Anyway I'm sure your mum and sis will be really happy for you.

I can totally understand you feeling superstitious- and I would be the same. But of course you know in your rational brain that telling people will definitely not affect anything- remember that.

yummy have you tested this morning?

bubblebell1 · 20/01/2009 10:49

sammy i would tell your mum and sis and ask them to keep it quiet. if it was the other way around you would understand so i am sure they would.
try not to let it worry you too much... you have another 9 months of it

good morning to everyone else.

i feel terrible. so i am hoping i will get chance to go back to bed.. but at the mo. the house is screaming out to be cleaned

Joy27 · 20/01/2009 11:38

poor you sammysam. Don't do the cleaning if you feel terrible.

I am in a right mard today. Bit hungover tbh. And (this is quite mean of me, be warned), when I walked into work the first and second thing I saw were two pregnant women with big bumps. This made me feel a little bit . Then one of them walked past the other and went "bump!" and pretended to bump their bumps together, and they laughed. And that made me feel really annoyed, as if they were being smug (which of course they weren't). I know I was being very unreasonable to feel this way, so please nobody be cross!

AngelFairy · 20/01/2009 12:06

Morning everyone!

Sammy... I think the ladies have advised well. Chill, relax, enjoy - you're pregnant!!

Bubble... I've just cledned my house top to bottom as mine was calling me names this morning. But I'd have gone back to bed if I were feeling poo. Hope you feel better soon x

Joy... Your story made me laugh. Any woman would find that irritating, even another pregnant one.

Well today my AF is officialy overdue, even after a mamouth cleaning frenzy. I have been spotting but nothing serious, and it seems to be dying down.
I have tingly cramps, not like AF ones, almost like gas (!).
I'm also having terrible trouble getting to sleep recently too. I think I'm driving myself insane with thinking too much!!

Do you think I should test?
When do you think I should test?

BlackCherry · 20/01/2009 12:20

Are your cycles usually regular Angelfairy? If they are I would test now! Otherwise I'd wait a couple of days.

Joy that made me laugh too. Just what you don't need to see when you're ttc!

oneyummymummy · 20/01/2009 12:27

angel TEST TEST TEST

sammy I think everyone has beaten me to the advice thing! But it definatly sounds like you are pregnant, but i can understand your cautiousness as its till early!

bubble Go back to bed!! (in the nicest way possible of course)

joy I can understand your and being unreasonable, as they most probably were not being smug, but at the same time, you can feel like every pregnant woman in the world comes out when you come out, just to rub it in your face!

angel holding in the wee thing made me laugh

I did do another test but it was another BFN so I guess im just waiting for AF now???!! Whenever she may arrive!

littlemiss26 · 20/01/2009 12:40

hi girls

I did post at the beginning (page 2 i think) but haven't been on for a bit thought i'd check in

sammy big congratulations on you BFP well done!

joy i know what you mean about pregnant women - i'm just about to take 2 classes over from a women at my work who is leaving on maternity leave in two weeks i'm so . It just never seems fair does it?

yummy sorry to hear it was a BFN - it could still be too early - have you definately ovulated??

I am still waiting (impatiently) for AF or ovulation - i have had neither since my mmc but its still early days it happened a month ago and i hear some people take 6 weeks to get a period after miscarriage - depressing!!

oneyummymummy · 20/01/2009 12:55

Hi littlemiss sorry to hear about your mmc hope smething happens soon for you!

Not sure if ive oved, going by CM i think i ov'ed around New Years day?! But Im not sure if im looking for the right thing or not?! and havnt been doing the temp thing or anything else!
