Hi Sez,
Thanks for the reply. We are not actively ttc, but did decide not to be 'careful' this month. I have had the most confusing array of symptoms though and tho I did get my period when due on Friday, it has been only 2 days, usually lasts a week, and was 'brighter' than normal, but definitely more than spotting. However, the Fortel and Discover tests were negative. I guess I'm wondering if you have breakthrough bleeding, if that's a sign that a HPT may not show a positive as early as if you did not have breakthrough bleeding. Anyway, I don't know if it's worth getting a blood test purely based on the fact my period was much shorter for the first time.
Cheers ;-)
