Hi mumsnetters,
I just need some opinions. I've spent the past 2-3 weeks thinking I've had a water infection (going to the loo lots - differences in quantity/pressure etc) and have tests at the doctors and one course of antibiotics - to no avail - still the same problem.
Today I had convinced myself I must have diabetes (going to the loo lots, overweight, 25-40 age, PCOS) and so managed to get another dr's appointment for them to do some more tests for my sugar levels etc as they were as confused as I was about this.
However, the Dr also dipped a pregnancy test - 'just in case' and it was positive, and then she did another just to check, and that was positive too.
Which is great as we were going to start trying for another baby at Christmas... I am still breastfeeding ds1 (who is 19 months) and we have been using the persona machine to determine fertile/non fertile days to id my pattern for the post christmas trying AND condoms on red days and the diaphram (recently fitted, and correctly used with spermicide and not taken out until the appropriate time had elapsed...), plus (and this may be TMI) DH has not blush erm... 'finished' inside me. So we thought with all things considered we'd been reasonably careful.
So, when we got home I did 4 cheapie tests (the dipstick ones from the £1 shop which detected I was preg with DS1 before any other) and 1 clearblue test - all negative.
I have the hcg blood test at the dr's in the morning, but am still in a state of (happy) disbelief and wondered what other people thought.
I just figured as I have PCOS and it took 6 months to get pregnant for DS1 that we'd be in for a long old time of BD, wait, test, test, test... etc again!
Let me know what you think - esp re the tests!
Thanks,
Gillian.
