Hi girls, just letting you know - did another POAS this morning and it's definitely a .. lit up like a x-mas tree Off to get a blood test!! Thanks for listening to me rave and vent.
Hi Belle and everyone else,
Greeat news belle. So happy for you. Got a confusing one though so get ready!! I thought AF came on thurs very light, it was very light for the next 2 days and completley stopped on monday. I thought this was odd so did a pregnancy test last night and got a faint positive line. I COULD NOT believe it!! I thought I was dreaming so I did another one this morning(discover brand) and after waiting the 2 mins another line. Is this possible?
I would now be 18DPO. I am so confused as to whether I could be pregnant. Help!!

Congratulations, Emmav! You're definitely UTD and the bleeding was Implantation bleeding I suspect!! OMG! I'm so excited!! Yay girl!! Make an appointment for your GP and get a BT. Yay again!
I can't wait to hear your confirmation tomorrow Do a First Response test with FMU if possible. I got the brightest line with that. But as they say , a line is a line! If there's no HCG ( and there isn't if you're not pregnant), there would be no line. I couldn't believe it when I got my BFP (still can't believe it ) Goodluck hun.
seriously driving myself insane!!!! I just went up to the pharmacy for some more pregnancy tests!! I just did another brand (pregnosis) and it has been 6mins and a faint line(i can see it at arms length)................
I got some first response too and so I think I might do one of those in the morning.
PS was reading another thread and jus realised I have been complaining of being thirsty all day and have a dry mouth. Is that what you had?

Hey belle,
sorry I don't have a computer at work so had to pop home to type this!! Did FMU with first response and got another faint line within the 5 mins
I hope it is a positive....the line is still pretty faint. Also WARNING TMI have a bit of creamy CM with slight brownish tinge. Is that normal?
How are you feeling?

PS i was supposed to get and ultrasound today to check on reasons for infertility!! I just spoke to my dr and she doesn't want me to do that now! Apparently its too early to see anything. So I have to have a blood test on friday and see her again on weds....hopefully it is all good
Oh.. EmmaV, That sounds very very positive to me! Don't worry , the brown CM sounds normal. I didn't get any implantation bleeding/spotting but from what I've read in other threads, that sounds like early preg symptoms. Oh, I'm so excited for you They can't see anything at a scan till 7 weeks I think, so it is still too early. A BT should give you HCG levels for reassurance. Since you've only just had bleeding/spotting, I think you've had a late implantation and that's why the line is so faint (not enough HCG yet), but this should get darker in the next few days. Implantation can occur at anywhere around 7-12 days after ovulation. Don't worry hun, just relax, rest and give that embie time to settle in. Hope it's a sticky sticky one.
Oh, are you taking folic acid?
I don't have much symptoms apart from being extremely tired and the dry mouth. I have been temping every morning though and temps are still high. for a sticky one. I am seeing my ob this afternoon. will update you when I get back. Take care and put your feet up

Hey good luck at the ob! I am praying for sticky ones for both of us!!
Have been taking the folic acid for about a year already!! I looked at your fertility chart and my temps are similar to yours as well and nice and high so fingers crossed.
Let me know what happens
xxxx
Just my update - hCG level was 394 (??) which my ob said was great for this length of pregnancy He didn't say much else though - just shoved me out the door in 5 minuted flat I'll be going for my first scan at 8 weeks (dec 10) when he'll do a .. head and foot test ?? or something like that. I don't really understand what that meant. Does anyone know what that is?
He also wants me to half my metformin dose (from 850mg twice a day to only once a day) . I am terrified of the what if's concerning dose reduction. Read in another thread that some of the girls MC after reducing their metformin dose. He is adamant though, saying he's used it for 15 yrs and it has worked!! Couldn't sleep at all last night. Don't know what to do now. DH thinks we should trust him as he is the specialist and I'm not. But it's my baby!
Sorry for being such a sook. How are you holding up, emmav?
Hi Belle,
Sorry I don't know that much about metformin. Could you get a second opinion?
I hope you are ok honey, maybe try googling it on the internet to see if anyone else has any ideas.
I am holding up pretty well, had some pretty bad nausea this morning but hot chocolate cured that!!
Other than that a bit of cramping and the dry mouth, also pretty tired.
How are you otherwise?
