TTC - #1

[Shanti]

I hope you get your BFP very soon then fingers crossed for you!!!

I was convinced I was preg last month as i was dizzy for 3 days straight, peeing all the time, cramps and moody but turns out it was just AF arriving... it was ok because we aren't TTC just yet... but if i was preg I would have been over the moon with happiness!
It sucks because AF symptoms can mimick early preg symptoms too... but everyone is different....
If i were you i would do a HPT then if it's neg, try again in 3 days time then try again... you may be pregnant and the level of HCG won't be strong enough to show up on HPT just yet.... GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

Do another test tomorrow with your first morning urine as it will be more concentrated. If it still is negative and you continue to get the same symptoms after AF has gone then see a doctor and ask for a blood test just to make sure.

Testing at night is not a good idea as it often wont show as it's not concentrated enough. How often are you you urinating and how much are you drinking? I ask this because I googled this yesterday and I found that diluted wee (from drinking heaps) or wee that hasn't been in your bladder for long (due to frequent urination) can cause a false negative. This can be a problem for ladies who get early symptoms.

The reason I googled it is that I've been going heaps myself (and had other symptoms) and tested on CD24 (yesterday) and got a negative. I will not test again unless my AF doesn't arrive by CD28. I'm pretty sure my AF is on her way now though as I've started to spot.

I generally drink a fair bit of water during the day... but I've found I'm peeing heaps more than normal... I'll try tomorrow morning I guess and see what happens
