Hi Jen805, I haven't posted much on the boards at all except after my miscarriage, but can answer this one I think!
If the second line is lighter, you haven't had your LH surge yet. The LH surge usually occurs early in the morning (ie in the hours after midnight), and it can take up to 8 hours for the LH levels to show in the urine sample, which is why its best to test during the day (the ones I use say between 11 and 3). If I had your result, I would probably test at 11 tomorrow morning (that said, I am impatient and this month when I had a lighter line I did one later that night - still light).
What usually happens to me is I have two days where the line is light (so 'negative') and then after that I'll get a definite 'positive'. I'm sure there's no science to it, but I kind of take the lighter lines as an early warning system that the LH surge is a-comin'.
Hope this helps!

Hi Ruthie - how incredibly scary for you. Take a deep breath. Try to focus on what you need to do RIGHT NOW. I suggest that you get someone to drive you to the ER - you're too upset to take yourself. Try to breathe deeply and slowly. This may be the bleeding that lots of women experience. Yes it may be a miscarriage, but lets cross that bridge if we get there.
Sorry I'm not one of the regulars here, but I am praying for you...
Ruthie - OMG we are all for you, don't stress too much yet. If you haven't had any extreme pain you may be ok. Get yourself to the ER now!!! and we are all here for you
Just wanted to say I am for you and try to remember that whatever happens it is out of your control and that it is nothing that you have done.
It is normal for some women to bleed during their pregnancy so try to stay clam until you get some answers. I know its a hard time but please dont give up. I am here if you need someone to talk to.
Since DH and I will be ttc again after AF stops I have been thinking about my blood tests from the FS. My blood test for anticardiolipin antibodies was a low positive but the FS said not to worry about it however it is concerning as I dont want to have another miscarriage.
I have been reading some studies about taking baby asprin to help reduce the anticardiolipin antibodies and thought why wouldn't the FS tell me to take it just in case. Just was wondering on your thoughts?
We still don't know what caused the fire and wont know tomarrow, There was no lighter in the jeans no paper just a normal wash. theres over 10 deaths and 10 injerys each year due to dryer fires.. We had the matnince people confuesd on what caused it.

Sorry to hear about your fire but glad that your all okay with your quick thinking and using the car as a safe haven for your children. Hope it didn't do to much damage
