Hi

I'm new to this forum stuff so I apologise if I don't use the correct abbreviations for things. Hubbie and I are trying for our first. I bought some OPKs and HPTs off the net last week but I've obviously already ovulated as AF (is that right?) started on Saturday. Ah well, I'll just keep using the OPKs. Anything to increase my chances sounds good to me I didn't want to buy them off ebay as I'm a bit worried that they may not work so I googled and found a site called Pregnancy Tests I'll keep you posted on my progress. Good luck to everyone TTC!!!

My period was due now two days ago, I did a test this morning but was negative, could it still be too early to tell? We have been trying for over two months now so I am getting a bit anxious!! My period is usually always on time so I can't help but think about it now!!

Hello,

We took a test on Saturday morning at 5am, about a week after expected period. It was positive. Went to the doctor's on Sunday for their urine test at about 2pm and it came back negative. We were quite surprised. So, took another test Monday around 1 after finding the negative results and the second line was darker and almost immediate. These were both First Response, non-digital. Just to be sure, we went that afternoon and got a digital test and took it around 3. It almost immediately came back "pregnant." Does the time it takes for the results to come back matter? Does a faster positive result mean the levels are higher? We are going back this Saturday to test again with the doctor, but this time first thing in the morning. We really want to be pregnant, and assume we are. Any thoughts?

The tests the Drs use aren't anywhere near as sensitive as FR. Don't worry about the negative in her office, congrats on your pregnancy .

hi all,

i went to my doctor when my period was four days late. she did a urine test and said it came up as a very very faint positive. she also referred me for a 21 day progesterone in case i got my period. not wanting to get too excited, i did a home test (first response) the next day which came up negative. now, two day later i have my period. so i guess i'm just wondering if i could still be pregnant or not, as i read on the internet that some people may still bleed when their pregnant, just not from a 'period'. the doctor assured me that also her test was very very faint, the test is very sensitive.... please inform me! there isn't much on the internet about positive doctor test but negative home tests.

Hi Emmy,
have you done another test since the negative 2 days ago? Some women definately bleed in pregnancy. hope you get a nice clear BFP when you test next. goodluck!!

Emmy1, I'm sorry to say, but it may have been a chemical pregnancy. It's when the egg implants, but then falls away like a period often resulting in a positive pregnancy test and then a period a couple of days later. Many women don't even know they have had a chemical pregnancy, they just think their period is a few days late. You would only know if you are testing very early, as in your case.
Maybe you could try a few other brands? just to make sure.

Ok so here's the latest... I don't know if I actually have my periods because this would be about the 2nd/3rd day and usually by now i would have a full-blown flow (sorry tmi i know), but i don't; there's not much there at all. so i think i might do another hpt tomorrow morning. maybe i tested too early? then again, i guess it could be a chemical pregnancy tash.

thanks gals,
will keep you posted.

Hmm, sounds promising. Early pregnancy bleeding is not uncommon. Good luck and keep us posted

[Emmy1]

False alarm. Deffo have them today. Oh well... practice makes perfect!

Hi,
Just read the craziest thing used for pregnancy testing. If you pee on a dandelion leaf and your pregnant the leaves will form red blisters if not then nothing will happen. You leave it for up to an hour. Has anyone else heard of this or tried it.
