But if she uses them tomorrow her HCG should have doubled if the IC measure 10 this morning it should double to 20+ by tomorrow morning, iv read somewhere that afternoon urine IS more concentrated aswell so if you hold off until the afternoon and hold the wee in for a bit longer it may be better!!

ill try to find out where iv found it now.

 

[Poppy84]

Does it double every 24 hrs or every 48 hrs?
But a pack of 2 so if it is bfn u can try again 2 days later

every 24 - 32 hours. I think for a twin pack its £3.24 and a single pack is £3.14 so it'll be a guess which one you will pick up lol! So far i have bought own brand shop names such as Tesco, Boots and Superdrug and Tesco win every time, the IC didnt pick up my HCG last time but CB digi and Tesco did straight away. i got everything crossed for you hun but i got a feeling its good news xxxx

Heres the link, it doesnt really make much sense as less people tested in the afternoon so i dont know if its scientifically correct or not?

I can tell I'm bored today haha

Been researching how often hcg doubles and there is conflicting information. Some website say 48-72 in early pregnancy and others say 24-32. So basically if it is bfn I wouldn't give up as there could still be a chance there isn't enough hcg yet

Does it say when it stops taking 48-72 hours? all my tests come up as BFN but the symptoms are sooooo pregnant and im on CD28 today and no AF but this will be my first AF since MC on Friday 13th x

 

[Poppy84]

Right after doing my research it says most 'normal' pregnancies double every 48-72 hours until about 6 weeks. However some early pregnancies double every 24-32 hours

 

[cathgibbs]

hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm theres a slight hope for me then, although i doubt it HURRY UP FLOW!!

 

[Poppy84]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for u

 

[too_scared]

hi ladies

i have been mia lately... i have had a bit of a rough patch after this last mc.

i hope you are all well.

i went to a new dr yesterday. he was wonderful. he said there was no reason to wait to do any testing and he said he would refer me to a recurrent mc specialist. he said a gyno isn't enough and wanted me to see the specialist. he listened to me, he checked me out, he explained the results of my previous scans. i am so happy i got to see him. he is such a great dr. when i saw my old dr after my last mc he told me i would have to wait until after another mc before he would do any testing. i felt so defeated and depressed. he actually had the nerve to tell me that this mc probably didn't hurt as much emotionally because "the hormones hadn't kicked in yet"! ASS!

either way, i am feeling more positive after seeing this dr. i really hope that we are able to find something that is able to be fixed.

i hope you are all well! i have my fingers tightly crossed for all the ladies in their tww!! come on bfps!

Aw thanks for looking that up girls

Anyone know if the US frer is less sensitive than the UK ones? As i got lines with faint IC on UK ones last time but not a sausage on the US ones this am...

I will do an IC tonight and tomo and see what it's saying.

[ShellieLabTek]

Dani Rose you're back! Yes I did take the soy, I donno if it worked as I've had a lot of confusion this cycle, donno if I O'd, might have but donno when for sure. If I O'd when I think I might have, I'm probably about 12 DPO. FF says I'm 7 DPO, so if O happened I'm somewhere between those two numbers! I hope those aren't evap lines on your tests! Keeping my fx for you.

too_scared I'm glad you got to see a great doctor. I hope they can help you figure out what's going on so you can get your sticky BFP!

AFM, I still have a cold (boooo!) and my temp dropped this morning. If I'm around 12 DPO, it probably means AF is coming soon to visit. If I'm around 7 DPO it could be implantation. But I'm thinking I'm closer to 12, so I think I'm almost out this cycle Didn't bother to test this morning as I think it's going to be a waste of a test. If I don't have AF by tomorrow I may test again. (I usually start spotting on 12DPO before AF shows up full force a couple of days later) If no AF on Sunday (mother's day) I donno if I will test as I really don't think I can handle a BFN that day. I really hope AF doesn't decide that day to show up. I may end up caving and testing while I'm at work today.

 

[Poppy84]

Just got back from docs appointment. He can't refer me for an early scan unless I have abdominal pain. I'm going to find out how to go private. I can't wait until 12 weeks not knowing

 

[Poppy84]

Oh and he said to count from first day of spotting not first day of full flow which is wierd so I'm actually 4 weeks 6 days

 

[brandiw]

Sorry for your loss (that was from the beginning of the thread...didn't realize there were so many pages, wow!!)

I had a natural mc, and have just been spotting since. As soon as that spotting stops...we are trying again! I know for dating and everything you are "supposed" to wait, but I'm not listening, I'm too stubborn!

I am emotionally ready to start trying again, so as soon as this darn spotting is gone, it's on!!! hee hee

did you conceive without ad after mc or did you wait for ad first hun,that's bad about the scan,surely drs should understand women who have had mcs are more nervous and won't rest until they know everything is ok Xx

 

[Wiggler]

In my experience Tesco tests aren't very sensitive. I avoid them like the plague. I use poundland ones, they are pretty good

OMG Too_scared, what a vile thing for your doctor to say I hope you can get some answers hun.

Sorry I know theres other stuff I missed but I am sooo tired and drained today Had a call from the hospital, they changed their minds and DO want to know how my HCG levels are droppng so I need to do a preggy test tomorrow and ring them with the result :S

 

[Poppy84]

I didn't wait for af but it came anyway. So I had one af before bfp

 

[baileybubs]

Does anyone know the sensitivity of clear blue conception digis? I have got one to use on Sunday or Monday but it doesn't say on it sensitivity and today I did and Asda's own (£3.97 for two, which is good!!) and it says it has sensitivity of 15 mlu.....is that good? I think I am 13 dpo and it was bfn but I did it this afternoon as I am incredibly impatient and I feel sooooo tired and in so much pain with my back today that I am either pg or AF is on her way
