MMC 35 days ago. Ovulated on day 26 and currently 9DPO and expecting AF on Tuesday (normal luteal phase is 12 days).

Okay so stupidly stupidly stupidly I took a test last night. (Friday night was bored so thought I would wee on a stick as you do!).

It was negative but I did think at the time if you squinted upside down and back to front etc etc there was the faintest faintest shadow but seriously NO-BODY else in the world would have been able to see it and I knew it was just my wishful thinking/hope. Anyhow stupidly I fished the test out of the bin this afternoon and now it is a DEFINITE positive. There is a clear purple line. Fainter than the other one but very obviously there.

Nargh argh argh. So this means one of three things.

  1. A false positive from reading the test stick way way late after the time window. Very bad to do I know!
  2. Residual HcG from my MMC (I did test -ve a few times after 14days post MMC but I didnt fish those tests out of the bin to double check!)
  3. Oh crap oh crap here we go again...... tiny voice whispers Possible BFP.

And my period could come and then even if it wasn't I will think it was a CP and my brain will be sad.

So can people hold my hand til at least wednesday til we know one way or the other please.
Thanks!

Us women are terrors for ferreting in bins!

Just did another two tests- different brands (always a bad idea to have a stash in the house). One ultra early came back very very very very very faint positive within the timeframe (as in I can see it without squinting but if you took a photo of it you wouldn't) but the other came back negative in the timeframe.

So I guess am back in the waiting game!

virtually with you and holding your hand for BFP..........maybe if we all close our eyes and wish really hard it will be a BFP!!!

Hoops997 I think the wish may have worked! Cheers!

Tesco HPT this morning- faint but very obvious BFP. Now just need to pray period never comes and that this one is a stick one that keeps growing all 9months.

hey cool, sending you loads of sticky vibes and congratulations......

Sending congrats, hope and sticky intentions!

Thanks guys. Definite positive today again and no sign of AF or even signs she is on her way.

So now just need to pray I make it further than last time. I can't see as far as the birth is way to early for that- but if the heart is still beating at 8 weeks then that's an improvement, then if I don't lose it at 10.1weeks then better than before.

I guess the term babysteps is kind of appropriate. One day at a time.

It's an anxious time. I won't tell you to try not to worry. That's like asking the sun not to shine and the clouds not to rain.

I will, however, keep everything crossed for you (metaphorically speaking) and hope that you get a successful outcome this time.

It took me AGES to believe that dd was actually going to make it. And once we got past the delivery stage and she was fine I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief which I'm still breathing now, 8 years later.

Good luck!!!!

That's good news Thandeka - hope it all goes well for you xx
