Well done girls - day two and smoke free! I am so pleased that you have each other for support as it must be hard. Big hugs!

PistachioLemon · 26/03/2009 10:28

Yay! Thanks Joycey. How are you today?

Joycey29 · 26/03/2009 10:40

all remarkably normal here!!
Off to garden centre to buy bedding plants!

I have promised myself that this month I WILL NOT symptom spot and I will NOT test early.

Easy to say that though when still got AF

PistachioLemon · 26/03/2009 11:17

Now I'd be very excited about that. What sort of things are you getting? Yesterday I got some free fuschias in the post from a Telegraph offer so I'm going to have to do something with them soon - they're on the kitchen windowsill at the moment so they can look accusingly at me every time I put the kettle on.

PistachioLemon · 26/03/2009 11:20

Sorry nunnie, cross post. Me too. I'm defo not going to test early, it's just too upsetting, and anyway I don't really believe the BFN until AF arrives (I am definitely delusional) so it's just a waste of a test. As for symptom spotting, I am going to try to tone it down but this month I've been charting for the first time so I suspect symptom spotting will be worse than ever.

shirleyc · 26/03/2009 12:47

someone please be on!!!! Need some advice..... Left pg test on side in bathroom after doing this morning and just tidied up and got 2 lines????? I have to ignore this right as it didnt show up immediately?

PistachioLemon · 26/03/2009 12:59

'Fraid so - probably just an evaporation line. Oh no - sorry hun Still no AF?

shirleyc · 26/03/2009 13:02

oh ok

shirleyc · 26/03/2009 13:05

everything on the net says 2 lines means pregnant now im all confused with no tests left?? My little sis is coming to look at the test for me and my dh says we gonna test in couple days again. there def 2 lines there.....

PistachioLemon · 26/03/2009 13:20

Aww Shirley, I don't know. I just know that if it's past the 10 minutes or 20 minutes or whatever it is, you can't rely on it. If AF hasn't arrived maybe you could do a new one? Could your sis bring one with her?

shirleyc · 26/03/2009 13:26

its ok i could cry now but i have to go to work. i am a day late for af (well i think) so will do another test in a couple of days. My lil sis bless says a line is a line so she driving to meet me at work to look for me, convince me im not going mad! fingers crossed as the other tests didnt show a line up later on as far as i could see anyway.

PistachioLemon · 26/03/2009 13:32

[hugs] Definitely test again to put your mind at ease. You must be all over the place now and dying to know. Hope work's ok x

nunnie · 26/03/2009 16:34

shirleyc, I have looked at my first response test leaflet and it does say that a positive result will last for at least 48hrs but a negative result may not last and should not be read after 10mins.

I think you need to retest, but maybe leave it till Saturday like you originally planned hun.

I really do hope you are and I will keep my fingers tightly crossed for you.

Joycey29 · 26/03/2009 18:13

Oh Shirley - what a nightmare!!! I don't know enough about it so can't advise. I would do another test but leave it a day and do it first thing. Which test was it - some are more sensitive than others?What did your sister say??

Liskey · 26/03/2009 19:26

Good luck Shirley - sounds like another test is in order - try it first thing in the morning.

shirleyc · 26/03/2009 21:21

ok hi ladies so just got home from work.

Did the test this morning with first wee and after less than about 5 mins i chucked it to the side thinking oh well no line must be a no go this month. The line may have come up after i dismissed it as BFN.

Went back to bathroom before leaving for work and looked at it again (dont ask my why) and theres 2 lines. Lil sis came to my work and says there is def a line (it is light but definate) in the pregnancy box so 2 lines. I used the tesco tests.
Now if i did not have all the symptoms i do have, combined with my dog, who ussually spends the day led on the bed, yesterday he was on my lap the whole day, and when DH came home the dog wouldnt leave me alone, i suppose i would be thinking its not positive i cant be pg.
My manager had the same thing and left her test in her locker, 2 hours later went back and there was 2 lines, she did 3 more tests and got BFP each time.
So i've just bought myself 2 more tests clearblue ones. DH wants me to test in the morning again and see what happens.
He is adamant i am pg and were both quite shocked at the moment, esp as this is out first month ttc. So....
I shall test in the morning and see what happens. I will be most upset if it says 'Not pregnant' but i will keep trying.
So ladies cross your fingers for me please please please......... I'm not imagining this sickness i know its not me and usual.
Thanks all!!

Liskey · 26/03/2009 21:30

My finger and toes are crossed for you......good luck Shirley!

Joycey29 · 26/03/2009 21:39

Everything crossed here for you!

shirleyc · 26/03/2009 21:43

Thankyou guys, im so on edge right now its unreal, feeling emotional and quite worried about results tommorrow.
tmi alert had this thick brown cm today, only a tiny tiny bit though, wipe away enough. Sure from all the info ive read it is normal if i was/am pregnant.

Joycey29 · 26/03/2009 21:46

That would be normal had that with ds and dd.
I know `what you mean when you say you are just on the edge.
I really feel for you and will be on first thing for when you test

PistachioLemon · 26/03/2009 22:05

Hey Shirley, Good luck - I really hope it's a BFP in the morning. x

shirleyc · 27/03/2009 06:27

Thanks guys did a clearblue and says Not pregnant'. Sat here with 2 tests infront of me, one pregnant one not.
Am so confused as felt so sick yesterday and still no sign of af, other than that brown cm yesterday which was nothing.
Its the not knowing thats upsetting, my dh was adamant last night that i was pg, as was my little sis convincing me a lines a line (it is a red line on the tescos test) my boss saying it happened to her etc etc. I kinda got my hopes up and now im sat here thinking 'What the hell does this mean??'
Had an awful night sleep dreaming of the test. I've been in and told him were not pregnant and hes upset, told me to forget this test and test again in couple of days personally i dont know what to do!
Thanks for the luck anyways.

Joycey29 · 27/03/2009 07:56

So sorry Shirley - Are you sure of your dates?

shirleyc · 27/03/2009 08:09

Yep, i know clearly i came of on the 2nd March and af normally lasts only 4 days or so, so i estimated it to about the 26th feb, which gave a bit of leeway in case i was a day or so wrong. Which means cd29 today so 15dpo or something like that.
Joycey this line is pink, its not grey thats whats getting me, search google for pink evaporation lines and it says evap lines are grey, colour only shows if hcg is detected.
But as everyone is saying evap line i shall remain confused and waiting.
