Hiya Shadow- yeap, as MrsMiggins said, at least you know what's going on plus it would have been really crapy if it was retained product. Did the dr explain why you were getting the +hpt? Maybe hcg is still not out yet (it took me 3.5 weeks to get a - hpt).
MrsMM- so sorry for your BFN hun, i too was so sure, all the sign seemed positive...well, december BFP for a x mas gift it is!
Joye- Congrats both for your BFP and for your mum, you must be thrilled! Are you due in July? A happy and healthy 9 months to you!
