am still bf ds (10.5 mo) but only at night, am trying to stop altogether... we are ttc but only in the vaguest sense, ie hardly ever manage to have sex....

still no af since got pg last time, did a test a while ago, was neg.

def had sex... ummm i dunno 2? 3? weeks ago, have been feeling weird so did this test, and the other one in the box. now don't know what to think - is it poss that it's just cos i'm testing early? i maen with no missed af and a blurry concept of time it's hard to know...

and yes i know i'll have to test again but i still want someone to tell me what to think!

the test says not to let wee get on test window and i think a bit did on the 1st (+) one.... surely that would not make it show + ??????

god i feel like an idiot asking but any thoughts ladies???

ta xxx

nolongerchunkybutstillapudding · 08/12/2008 21:54

but but but

i can't be!!! only had sex once in past month (great at ttc eh?)

and if i took pic of 2nd test... well it's def -

you lot are very lovely and also very patient. i feel like a dizzy teenager.

and i'm still not sure at all. if it was just the faint line, fine, but the - one as well has made me reeeeally doubt it. tho understand the idea of hormones not being concentrated enough....

dp won't go n get test. thinks i should chill out and test in a few days...

chillout - HA!!!!

nolongerchunkybutstillapudding · 09/12/2008 11:11

ummm

ok so i peed in a jar this morning so i could save it til i could get a test.

just did it... and its neg again

am i going mad???????????

OP posts:
Antdamm · 09/12/2008 11:24

how long was pee in jar sitting for? Because apparently the hcg breaks down after some time. So that might be it.

nolongerchunkybutstillapudding · 09/12/2008 11:29

3 hours ish..in a cupboard in the kitchen!

OP posts:
Antdamm · 09/12/2008 11:31

no chance i think

Its needs to be as fresh as a daisy...or pee!!

Have you got another test? If you have, you can wait for 4hrs(ish) since you did your last pee and try again. It takes a while to build up enough of the hcg to be noticed (i think)

Hope that helps

TeenyTinyTorya · 09/12/2008 11:32

I would get a digital one, wait a day and then do it again with first wee of the morning. It's probably better than worrying about lines, at least you'll see pg or not pg. Good luck!

PuzzYuleLogs · 09/12/2008 11:34

Can you get a clearblue digital? No confusion over lines.

PuzzYuleLogs · 09/12/2008 11:34

TTT - great minds eh.

nolongerchunkybutstillapudding · 09/12/2008 11:39

Am not really confused over the lines.. More that 1 said preg and 2 didn't !

OP posts:
thenewme · 09/12/2008 12:15

I thought for a positive test there had to be two lines/dots? One to say the test was done correctly and one to say pregnant.

lou031205 · 09/12/2008 13:55

The pic on your profile is definitely a postitive though. It has both lines.

lou031205 · 09/12/2008 14:03

If you go to www.canyouseealine.co.uk

you can upload your photo, view it inverted, and get others to vote on whether they see the line.

I uploaded yours, although under my name, and inverted it, and I can still see a line.

nolongerchunkybutstillapudding · 09/12/2008 14:42

thanks lou - yeah i'm sure it was a positive, think the only doubt was because i really wasn't expecting it due to a distinct lack of trying to get there if you see what i mean! and as it was so faint compared to last time...

however i am now really questioning if the test could somehow have been faulty, without a second + result it doesn't feel like i could really be pg somehow....

newme - i think you're thinking of 1st response tests - they have to have 2 lines in the window if you're pg. with others it's a cross, with the one i did just a line....

I have had the same thing. Test came up positive faintly over the alloted time and then had a negative. Its all very confusing!

nolongerchunkybutstillapudding · 09/12/2008 14:49

hello social, just read your thread! my first one was even within the allowed time (easily under 10 mins)

you are right it's confusing, i can't even work out what i think/want now! if i think i'm not pg then feel like i wish i was, good age gap with ds etc etc, but if i think i am i just start stressing about how i'll cope/the amazing family hol we were planning in feb/how rubbish i was at being pg last time blah blah

am a blithering mess!!!!!!

socialpariah · 09/12/2008 15:21

Had a terrible time last pregnancy also but stiiiilllllll......... Bloody hormones! Am also a mess and know I will be really disappointed if nothing is there....
