It's been 7 weeks since mc but still not af...when to ring the GP?

[GI_Jane]

I am all out of tests apart from 2 digital with the conception indicator. Think I will get some more first response tests over the weekend so I can look for a progression.

Hubby nearly spat out his cornflakes when I told him this morning. Tuesday is when he goes away so I'm pleased he was home when I took the test. The only thing that worries me was that he was away when I got the BFP and had the MC last time. I'm worried that history will repeat and he won't be here should it happen again.

Am a bit worried about the faint line of the internet cheapie but the first response from this evening was quite reassuring. I'm praying the conception indicator digital will say 2-3 weeks tomorrow morning.

I was totally gobsmacked and had tears in my eyes. It was total disbelief, I really thought it was af. so looks like it was implantation bleeding.

Are you still taking the baby aspirin Bobster?

 

[bobster]

Yay mlm I really hope you get your bfp too! Are you 6dpo today? I think you prob did ovulate when you got that 2nd lot of ewcm because thats what happened to me. I'm keeping my fingers firmly crossed for you.

It would be fantastic to have 2 bfp's this cycle!

 

[GI_Jane]

Those are great lines. I'm thinking you are past the point where it could be chemical

I hope so mlm.

Would love to be bump buddies mlm.

 

[bobster]

Yes still on the aspirin Jane- I darent stop so will probably take it all the way through. It doesn't hurt to take it so I would if I were you.

I think your lines look really good. The internet cheapies are rubbish they took ages for mine to get dark. Superdrug are quite good and cheaper than frer. I think the clearblue conception indictator might take another few days to go to 2-3 you are classed as only just in week 2 now Jane. I found that my clearblue digi goes to 2-3 when the frer line goes slighly darker than the test line. I think the cutoff for is a hcg of up to 200 will be 1-2, 2-3 is anything up to 2000 and 3+ is over 2000 (I think) so don't worry if your clearblue digi is 1-2 for a few days yet (mine was).

Can you believe I did a test yesterday? total testaholic!

Yay I'm so happy for you!

 

[MrsPhez]

Oh wow Jane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is just fantastic! I' m made up for you, seriously! Another bfp and no doubting those lines! Yey!
So just mlm and me to go, mlm, I hope this is your month hun. I've given up trying to work my cycle out, CD19 and no pos opk. Anyway, now's not the time. Jane, it's all about you! So excited for you!

 

[mackjess]

omg, I hope we get two bfps! I can barely stand the excitement!

Jane, I think mlm is right about that test being too dark for a chemical, especially since that frer wasn't fmu. when I had my chemical, the line on the frer was so faint it didn't even go thru all the way, just part of the line turned faint pink.

And don't worry about the internet one, I think since they have less material it takes awhile for those to get dark. I quit using them and bought more frers to check for progression bc the cheap tests were driving me mad.

 

[GI_Jane]

Thanks ladies, your stories and thoughts about chemical pregnancy are helping to reassure me. Pleased to hear that you girls gave up on the internet cheapies for the same faint line reason- lucky that was my last one so I won't bother ordering anymore.

Bobster I will totally still be POAS like you are, just for some reassurance. oh and if i get that far, I will like details of the dopppler you have but not yet- don't want to jinx anything!

And bobster, thanks so much for the info about the conception indicator- I know I would freak tomorrow if it said 1-2 when I think I might be in the 2-3 zone. I don't blame you about the baby aspirin. First thing I did after I got the BFP this morning was to take one...lets hope it does the trick.

Mlm and MrsPhez, we just need you girls to be knocked up then we have a full house

 

[bobster]

Yay to a full house! I can feel it in my bones that we'll be having a full house very soon!

I'm glad that helped- I didn't want you to worry if it came back 1-2 as that completely normal at 15dpo. I don't know how you're waiting until tomorrow to test! I used my digi when I had a lighter line than yours and it worked. You're stronger than me Jane.

I have a really good feeling for you

I think the aspirin is a lucky thing since Mackjess used it with her sticky bean so I'm clinging onto it for a while. Keep us posted tomorrow, would love to see a pic of your digi x

 

[GI_Jane]

OMG I totally want to do one now but OH gave me strict instructions that he wants to be here when I do the digital and he won't be home until late tonight so it may aswell keep to the morning.

 

[bobster]

Oh haha sorry Jane! Be strong for hubby. It will be worth it

 

[GI_Jane]

Morning ladies, the digital with FMU says pregnant 1-2. Will give it a few days and hope for a 2-3.

So according to the box that puts me at 3-4 weeks but based on date of last period I am 6 weeks. Took me ages to explain to DH how this timing thing works and the why there is such a big disagreement between the two!

Did you have to explain to your oh's too bobster and mackjess?

 

[bobster]

Yay! I know I can understand why it doesn't make much sense to them. My other half isn't interested really he just goes along with what I say. Completely oblivious to anything involving the menstrual cycle lol. Don't worry Jane I am exactly the same which is why they dated me a week and a half infront. U will be 2 weeks 2 days pregnant so the cb digi is on Target xx

 

[MrsPhez]

Hope you get that 2-3 soon Jane.
I can see a kinda line on my opk today which is the big news in my world, not pos but a line. Pity DH blew me out last night and we went to sleep on bad terms. He promised we would tonight, even though he's on call. Fingers crossed...

 

[GI_Jane]

That's great about your opk Mrs phez, ovulation is better late than never.

Bobster, when you had your private early scan, were you 7 or 8 weeks and technically did you work that out from your o date or the NHS way of doing it?

I'm guessing I need to be actually be 5/6 weeks from o date to have the early scan?

Had a few mild cramps today but no spotting or anything, trying to keep positive.

 

[mackjess]

Yay Phez on gearing up to OV.

Jane - DH isn't really a details kinda guy so I didn't have to explain much to him. Except that full term is really 40 weeks/10 months cause he was confused why the due date was so far out. A lot of people think pregnancy is 9 months.

He also thought we had to wait 6 months to DTD after the baby, and I about died laughing. I was like no, I think it's usually 6-12 weeks depending on how healing goes.

 

[mlm115]

I'm glad Bobster gave that info on digi tests so you didn't worry when you saw 1-2 weeks. Sounds like things are going as they should.

Hope you do ov soon Phez, better late than never! I hope DH is up for dtd tonight!

All this excitement about Jane has made me less patient with waiting to test. Although I've still convinced myself I'm out this month. Today should be 7 or 8 dpo I think. I feel pretty nauseous and generally run down and also have a very slight low grade fever which makes me think that I am sick, not pregnant. From my understanding it would be too early to feel sick if it was from pregnancy. I'm off work though, so tempted to run and buy some hpts- someone talk me out of it!

 

[MrsPhez]

And back to negative again. Think this cyst is playing silly beggards with my cycle this month...roll on 1st May

 

[mlm115]

Aw damn. Sorry Phez.

 

[bobster]

Mlm hold on! I would wait a few more days. Let your egg implant first and get settled in!

 

[GI_Jane]

Oh mrs phez, that's crap. You said you had another scan before 1st May, when is that one? I hope it has begun to shrink, especially as you've been doing the broccoli etc...

Mlm, normally I would say go and test early, like today, right now! but given what just happend in the last couple of days for me finding out at 15dpo once I'd put it out of my mind and thought it was af, I can totally see why testing later is much better becuase the line you see is obvious. But obviously, the putting it out of your head bit is the hard bit! If you can hold off just a couple of more days I would (look how I have become a reformed character!). Seriously though, no one likes seeing a negative-and if you are preggo, the chances of seeing it at 7/8dpo are slim, meanwhile your dream is shattered (bloody hell- where is this coming from- I've tested at 4 dpo in the past haha). Sorry you are not feeling well. Are you taking time off for Easter? Don't think it's a federal holiday in the states?

How are you doing bobster? What are your main symptoms?

My nipples are a bit twingy, feels funny
