piffle · 11/05/2005 19:43

Tabs, I'm cd29 13 dpo, used to have a 28 day cycle now last 3 mths has been 34-35 days.
No signs whatsoever of pregnancy but think PMT is upon me
Ahh well never mind next month...

Tabs · 11/05/2005 19:49

Yaaaayyy - my internet connection is back up .

Debbsy - it really does sound positive to me. The Calista reading could be explained by either the fact that you are late in your cycle, and there's a second oestrogen surge late on which could cause you to fern, or, apparently when pg you can also fern lots!!! Read this a while back when forum surfing - there was a girl who'd written to the manufacturer asking several questions on behalf of all the girls using them, and they intimated that it could be caused by pregnancy, but they weren't licensed to sell it as a pregnancy test, so they couldn't say that on the leaflet!!

Obviously don't want to get your hopes up falsely, but the pains sound really like early pg symptoms too, so I'd honestly be inclined to test sooner rather than later, especially if you're sure that you ov'ed 19 days ago (and I'm not a gung ho tester like lots of the ladies on here )

Shall be keeping my fingers crossed for you, but suggest you get your order fulfilled before Rom gets her test result and hopefully starts a new thread!

Tabs · 11/05/2005 19:51

Piffle - you know the rules - it aint over til it's over! Hope AF signs turn out to be something more cheery

charleepeters · 11/05/2005 19:54

hi MUnz my test were all clear so now i have to wait untill next tuesday for a scan, so at least i know y thyroid is fine. i had a scare yesterday morning when i woke up the bleeding was so heavy my bed/dh/andmyself was soaked in blood, i sat on the toilet and it jussed ran out of me bright red i thought i had hemorraged, i passed out several times and had to get my mum to help me get ds dressed and everything, but stupidly i didnt go to hospital i hate them so much, i know i should have but mysteriouslt today the bleeding has stopped though i still feel very dizzy and tired, i probably shouldnt say as im probably tempt fate and it will start again. but oh well im just waiting for next tuesday for my sacn and hopefully i can get sorted, thanks for asking xxxx hope everyones ok and doing well good luck for any testers and {hugs} for andbodys who af has arrived, oh what the hell hugs for everyone!

Debbsy · 11/05/2005 20:09

charlie dont wish to alarm you but you dr should now about this like NOW im no dr but it sounds like a cyst erupting also for heavy bleed have you been checked for amaemia? you can tell by pulling down your bottom eye lid if its pale in colour chances are your anaemic like i used to be yars ago and had the same as you.xx

charleepeters · 11/05/2005 20:14

HI Debbsy thanks for your concern i phoned my g.p she said that she couldnt do anything untill i had had the scan and thats why its on tuesday (emergency appointment my arse) it was ment to be for the end of June my local hospital is crap and theres not another near by so tuesday is the next emergeny one they had, my blood test was for anemia but that when i was having the constant light bleeding so dont know about now but if it happens again i will go straight to a&e, di you have cists that burt or know some one who did what was hte outcome and treatment however scary i would like to know ta. thanks again x

Debbsy · 11/05/2005 20:30

i had a cyst on the ovary that kept growing but bcos it grew under 4cms they wont remone i spent from the end of nov until the 12th feb 2004 in hospital i kept collapsing in agony having every test known to man had scans galore cutting a v v long story short there was one time i had a scan and it was just before my period and it showed the cyst to be gone so they wouldnt do anything i had a laproscopy to put my mind at rest that all my bits were ok but that was cos i had spent 2 mths going out of my mind with worry thinking i couldnt have any babies and the end result was twisted appendics that burst in theatre.i do know though from time spent in there that large cysts cause lots of bleeding.

Debbsy · 11/05/2005 20:32

thanks tabs tryyying v v hard not to get hopes up.x

charleepeters · 11/05/2005 20:35

thanks debbsy and im sorry you went through such hell, i havent had any pain at all just light bleeding that suddenly went crazy, i have no appendix to get twisted, but will just have to wait for scan. but i know what you mean i have been worried sick and havent slept alot its been 8 months now since ds was born and i have been bleeding the whole time, i just cant wait for it to be over.

heres a bit of ttc trivia for you all:

FINGERS & FERTILITY

Are your partner's fingers the same length on each hand? How about the length of his ring finger versus the length of his index finger - is one longer than the other? If so, these could all be signs of how quickly he can conceive a child.

Interesing new studies conducted at a fertility clinic at the University of Liverpool found that the length of a man's fingers has a surprising correlation to his ability to father a child. Specfically, if the fingers on a man's left and right hands are relatively the same size, his sperm count is probably high. If, on the other hand, the fingers on one hand differ dramatically in size from the other, sperm count may be low, and the sperm he does have may not be as active as necessary for conception. Finally, a man whose ring finger is much longer than his index finger is likely to have high levels of testosterone, so he may be more fertile.

Conversely, a woman who has a longer index finger than ring finger on either hand may have an abundance of oestrogen, which in turn means she is more fertile.

LOL - get checking those hands girlies!!!

Nemo - FABULOUS WONDERFUL news - so happy for you x

Bella23 · 12/05/2005 09:04

Morning all
Wendy - good to hear from you, yes keep your spirits up, hard I know but you are on the road now so just got to stick with it !
Rom - HA HA .....will be straight home to check out DH's hands tonight

Well CD9 here so not much to report, not going for it every night this time, going to just step it up when I know I am oving accoring to persona

Debsy - hope tomorrow is good for you
Lilosmum - you too!

Charleepters - keep an eye on yourself honey as that bleeding sounds a nightmare!

Chuffed · 12/05/2005 09:23

debbsy - any news?
piffle - any news?

Tabs · 12/05/2005 09:41

Morning ladies

Looking forward to all the test results tomorrow - we could have an explosion of BFPs!

Have to admit I find it amusing each time people type Lilosmum instead of Lilsmum - keeps making me think of Bread and Lilolil!! Anyone else fancy Adrian at the time instead of Joey? (In fact anyone else even got a clue what I'm on about )

Anyway, got on my OPK this morning, so have been putting Bella's morning theory to the test again . Am out til v late this evening, so guess it's just once more for luck tomorrow morning and then I'll be ready to join the paranoid symptom analysing game!

Hope everyone's having a good day.

Bella23 · 12/05/2005 09:47

Lord that's me on the name thingy !!
