Evap or BFP???

**satya** · February 6th, 2008, 07:29 PM

I'd recommend you head off to the doc for a blood test. You will find that most doctors are happy to help with an early blood test when you have suffered other losses. That way you will get a proper answer rather than trying to interpret lines. With my pregnancies I had them done at a bulk billing clinic and it cost nothing - far cheaper than all the money I was spending on pregnancy tests that just gave me more questions.

If it turns out you aren't pregnant I can highly recommend the Lullaby conceptions ones. I never got false positives on them.

I found that when I got very pale positives that didn't get darker I would have an early miscarriage - the first blood test would say pregnant but with lowish HCG then the next would show a drop, whereas with this pregnancy I got a pale positive at 10DPO and a darker one at 11DPO then I went straight off to the doc for confirmation to put my mind at ease after my losses and got such a high HCG level that he suggested it could be twins!!! Turns out it's just one little boy in there though.

Good luck.

Hi Satya, thanks for your information.

I did a Confirm preg test this morning with FMU and got a faint 2nd line but it's definitely there. I just hope they continue to darken. Im 11 DPO so fingers x'd everything will work out fine. I think I will go the dr in a day or two.

Ooh the lines are still there!!!!

I'm thinking about uncrossing a few things though, I don't think you will need it - Hooray!

**Heaven** · February 7th, 2008, 08:05 AM

Yay!!
I think it's a bfp!!
Congrats!

**Leigh26** · February 7th, 2008, 08:07 AM

Thanks everyone. Im actually starting to believe it might be a BFP too. But coz I have had miscarriages in the past (both at 12 wks), I've got a long way to go before I can get really excited. I just hope that if I am preg that this one sticks!!! I cant help but be excited though

**SamiH** · February 7th, 2008, 10:03 AM

I am wishing you such good luck Leigh!!

I had two easy completely normal pregs and think I took them for granted - then had 2 m/c which of course shocked me and realise I wasn't 21 anymore - and now this pregnancy is so precious and each day I have to pinch myself that I am pregnant again and what a blessing it is.

Sounds like a BFp to me - but please do confirm with us when you find out - I love hearing all the good news stories.

**Leigh26** · February 7th, 2008, 10:21 AM

Thanks Sami, I will definitely let everyone know when I find out for sure. I know what you mean by taking pregnancies for granted. With DD I took hers for granted, then DH and I have been ttc for 22 months with 2 miscarriages. I was beginning to think that I would never fall pregnant and that I should've enjoyed my pregnancy with her more.

**SamiH** · February 7th, 2008, 11:04 AM

Well you have been very patient, and it is your time then. It is really worth waiting for, no matter how frustrating it can seem at times.

I like to think that because my 2 m/c angels weren't planned, that is why they had to go, but this one definitely is and he is gunna stick stick stick. (For some reason I think I am having a boy??)

**Leigh26** · February 7th, 2008, 11:23 AM

My fingers are x'd that your little bean sticks for you Sami. Im becoming obsessed with pregnancy tests. Of course I just needed to go to the toilet so I poas again. 2 tests. 1 was an Assurance Plus and it was neg and the other was another Confirm, it had a faint positive again. All these mixed results are doing my head in. Surely with all the Pregnow really faint positives and the 2 really faint positives on the Confirm must mean Im preg. Im reading the results in the correct time frame. Surely they all cant be evaporation lines.

**Leigh26** · February 7th, 2008, 01:11 PM

Ok, now Im really confused!!! I just went to the toilet and I had some brown spotting. So I guess this maybe means AF is on her way??? If so why the positive pregnancy tests? I knew it was too good to be true. I never thought getting pregnant would be so hard and frustrating.

**Lulu** · February 7th, 2008, 03:13 PM

Implantation bleeding??

I'm not sure what it looks like though - maybe do a search, I'ts been discussed here before somewhere.

**Leigh26** · February 7th, 2008, 03:36 PM

Does hcg show in your system before implantation bleeding? Im trying to remain positive.

I'll do a search now.

**SamiH** · February 7th, 2008, 06:29 PM

I personally have never had implantation bleeding, but loads of other ladies have. You are 11dpo from memory - so entirely possible that is what it is.

Do you normally spot before AF - I don't do that either but again some people do ...

maybe I am the weird one LOL

I think with all the tests and different brands, either get a Blood test, or try and wait until 13dpo and test again.

But I still think it sounds like you are UTD - fingers crossed for you and good luck

**Leigh26** · February 7th, 2008, 07:41 PM

Hi Sami,

No I never spot b4 AF arrives, the only reason I dont think it is an implantation bleed is because I didnt think a pregnancy test would pick up hcg before a implantation, I could be wrong though. I've made myself promise not to test until 13 DPO (which will be Saturday). It's going to kill me not to test tomorrow and hopefully I wont break my promise. I'll be trying to keep myself busy. With a bit of luck the spotting will spot. If Im still getting the positive tests over the weekend then I'll make a dr appointment for Monday. Im praying Ive got a healthy, little sticky bean inside of me!!! But I always have the worst luck and so many people tell me so, thats why I reckon AF will rear her ugly head.

**SamiH** · February 8th, 2008, 06:01 AM

Leigh if you have always had the worst luck it is time for it to change!!!!

I dunno about bleed, sometimes it absorbs in uterus - so may be yours just took a couple of days to come out - hence brown spotting (old blood) and by then eggie has burrowed in and already started to produce hcg.

I will definitely pop in tomorrow and see how you go.

Cuddles and good luck - try and stay busy today

**Leigh26** · February 8th, 2008, 06:56 AM

Well when I woke up I managed not to do any tests but the spotting is still here. So I still think AF is definitely on her way. With all the positive tests Ive done and on different brands Im thinking it may have been a chemical pregnancy??? If AF does arrive Im trying to remain positive and be happy that at least I actually fell pregnant - I was starting to think I'd never fall pregnant again. Hopefully I will have happier news next month. I'll do another preg test with FMU tomorrow morning and see how I go just in case (that's if I can hold off testing today).
