Sorry Josie I didn't see your post, am glad you got on the right sitex how are you hun? I got some new pregnancy tests from eBay today called Wondfo's, they're supposed to be really good so I used one just for fun really as I'm only 5 dpo and I got a faint line, I knew it would be an evap though as way too early but it was even pink, I hate evaps! I did another later on in the evening and that one was neg of course, that's what you get for testing at 5dpo lol xx

I am ok hun. Confused about what my body is doing, i had one day heavy bleed on 19th (2 days early from AF) then nothing, now spotting brown and cramps. totally different to previous AFs. what is an evap then? is that a line on pos then disappears? can that be a hopeful sign? Yes, you need to be patient lol, easier said than done eh? passing pma across to you for a good result xxxx

It's a line where you would get the line if you were pregnant but you arnt they're supposed to not have colour but I've seen loads that have and have had a couple of really pink faint lines myself thinking I was pregnant but I wasn't its horrible! I'll put a pic up but it's not as easy to see on the pic as it us in real life. That bleed you had doesn't sound like a period at all does it, I know implantation bleeding is light a lot of the time but it can be heavier hun! Xxxx

oh ok, i know what you mean. just to throw things in the mix, so unfair to get hopes up and then no. well just got to wait eh and then do another one at a later date. well, i got some tests and done one about an hour ago, i know you are supposed to do first thing but couldn't wait (miss impatient). came up neg. so will just wait and see what happens next month. hubby has just been offered promotion so that will be him away 4 days at a time and back for 4. he is in military so more pressure. i won't be going with him as i just come out of military so staying in our house, son at local school and i have a job. nightmare, how the hell how are we going to ttc???? Not a good day. keep me up to date on how you get on. would be good to have some good news, keep positive xx

 

[Oasis717]

Aw hun you never know it may just be too early, definitely test again, everything crossed for you I've never had a one day AF although my last one was only 3 days but heavy for the 3, and that's gunna be hard him being away, as much as the promotion is fantastic news, I can understand you being worried about TTC but dont worry, his 4 days home could coincide with ovulation or before, good job sperm can live so long so it could all work out ok but I'm sure you'll miss him loads xx

Maybe we'll see. I'll carry on with charting. Thank you. Everything crossed for you too. The body is a complex thing eh? I am sure things will be ok and we will get into a routine. Just feel a bit emotional at the mo. So have you got anything planned to look forward to? Holiday or anything? Once I know hubby's posting date then I will organise something.

 

[Oasis717]

Yes I agree I never realised just how much your body goes through to get pregnant before all this I knew it was complex but I never realised just how much! No holidays planned at mo but were hoping to go to New York this year, DH loves USA and would love to live there xxx

Hi all,

Creative, sorry AF got you. Dont give up

Jose, sperm can live up to 7 days, so you should still be ok. Just make sure you DTD the day he goes if possible!

When I did test this time I did it 9 DPO and used a tesco own brand. I swear I saw the faintest of faint lines when I pulled it apart. Still very faint 10 DPO but there was one there.

I also used OPk to see what happened and the line went darker there as well, not as dark as control line.

I did an OPK yesterday to see what happens. The test line appears really dark before the wee has even reached the control line! The test line is so much darker than control, so OPK do pick up HCG!

 

[Oasis717]

I did an opk today and it was clearly negative but then I'm only 6 dpo I always use Asda own brand as they don't have evaps and are 15 sensitivity and only cost 3.50 for two tests, I'm going to test on Saturday at 10dpo if I haven't had any spotting xxx

I think my opk was negative at 10 DPO.

Fingers crossed for you

 

[Oasis717]

Ooooo really thanks that's encouraging, hope you're feeling ok hun xxx

I'm good thanks. 6 weeks today.

Not too many symptoms really, just the following
- tiredness - getting more sleep than usual but still tired
- constant stuffy nose
- sorry if tmi! Bowels are not the same as usual, used to be quite regular but now all over the place, haven't been today! Get bad gas in the evenings!
- need to wee a lot more - even waking in night to go.
- feel hungry a lot too
- getting a little bump already too

No sickness yet, although I did feel a little funny this morning, not sick, jus funny!

Got scan in 10 days time, so not looking forward to that!

 

[Oasis717]

Awww I know, I would be exactly the same but remember this is a new pregnancy, new start and every chance to see a wonderful result on the scan xxxxxx

I know, but I still can't help worrying.

I have to say, this time is different from the one I lost in sept, I seem to have more symptoms than last time. Whether it's the progesterone I'm taking doing its job or whether its just different anyway.

 

[Oasis717]

I know hun I truely do I had a bad result last time when they diagnoses mmc at 7weeks. My doctor won't prescribe progesterone so I'm on my own if I do get a bfp am hoping the fact that my lp is usually 13/14 days I'll be ok. I'm sure the progesterone your on has done wonders, but of course you will worry. Xxx

You can't help but worry. Hopefully the symptoms are a sign that things are going ok. Will be thinking of you xx

Thanks, yes I will definately make sure we do lol. Feel a bit better today was emotional yesterday. Informed DH all about ovulation, fertility signs etc so that was good lol. Made me feel like I am not just doing it myself. No spotting today or cramps. Hope you have a good day today xx
