Hello everyone, just wanted to ask a question. I am in the last couple of days of TWW, with AF expected on Friday. How early can I do a pg test without it really being a waste of time? The pg test says on the packet I can test up to 5 days before an expected period? I was feeling fairly hopeful that this month might be the one for me but when I woke up this morning I saw a tiny spot of colour in CM which I think may be an indication that AF is on her way
I am not totally giving up hope just yet though and am thinking of testing on Thurs as that is the day I can ring through to get my BT results for CD21 from my gyno. I know the CD21 BT was to test the progestrone levels but I wonder if they would pick up if the HGC levels are higher than normal??
britkane8 you have already been given some very good advice and from the sounds of it you are starting to feel a little more positive. I really do HATE the tww as I get my hopes up EVERY time, oh well, lets hope I get my coverline in the next couple of days. Bun I am absolutely thrilled for you, and I am sure that this is going to be your sticky pgncy, keep packing and then go off and enjoy a wonderful holiday. Lee stay on for as long as you feel you need to. Salt how are you feeling hun, hope your parents are doing well with their recovery. Two Mums damn AF better luck for this cycle. megsmum sorry to hear that you have had the flu, and especially since it was around O time, I have to say that myself and Jordan have been very lucky to avoid the nasty colds going around my house. kbowman glad to hear that AF finally arrived, she took her own sweet time!
hello to anyone i've missed.
Well I think I o'd yesterday, just have to wait and see what my temps do over the next couple of days, my pre-O temps have been scarily similar to my pg cycle back in Nov, hope that is a good sign. I am going to try not to obsess this cycle over every single little twinge etc, although I also said that last cycle and the one before that and I did exactly what I didn't want to do, oh, well. Don't know if I told you guys but my dh is a big softie and told my eldest ds that his g/f could move in with us until she finds a place of her own since she got kicked out of home (she is only 16), she was going to go and stay with some friends in Newtown and sleep in a cupboard!
Congratulations on everything going so well at the scan Bun. Goodby and goodluck. I'm hoping to join you in PAML soon.
Megsmum It sucks when you are sick around O time. I was sick last cycle and my temps were all over the place... it made it impossible to tell what was going on and it gave me symptoms that made me think I was pg.... ha ha nothing unusual for me... but gave me some new symptoms is what I mean like sensitivity to smell. It sounds like you and I are pretty much thinking the same this cycle - that it's very unlikely that we could be pg. Who knows we could just be wrong.
Susan I'm glad you are starting to feel a little better. Just take it one day at a time there will be good days and then the odd bad one, followed by more good days.
Timnik When they do the CD21 test they don't test for HCG so a pregnancy will not show up in your results. When I got my test results I was half convinced I was pregnant as I had really high estrogen levels but I wasn't pg at all. That was just a little warning not to read anything in to your results. My GP also told me my estrogen was too high and my progesterone was too low but my specialist said it wasn't anything to worry about. I hope the results come back completely normal so you wont worry about them.
Sharon I wish you the best of luck with your tww this time around. I too say I'm not going to stress about "symptoms" and then find I can't help myself. In week 3 I've had a few symptoms but as per usual they've died down again so I'm now thinking that they must actually be my post O symptoms.
Well it's CD24 for me & I'm 8DPO if fertility friend is correct. My chart is a really weird one this cycle - big jump after O and after staying up for a couple of days it has gradually gone back down to about 1/2 a degree above my coverline. I've not had this happen before so I have no idea what that means. I usually go up and down a little until I get a huge drop & then get AF a day or two later. I've been getting slight cramping for a couple of days on and off, my skin broke out for the second time this cycle (it usually does at O and when I get AF) and it's worse than it normally is. I was also extremely emotional last night - cried driving home from work and I have no idea why and had a couple of moments whilst at home. As these are all pre AF symptoms for me it means absolutely nothing. I got pinkish discharge after BDing last night so I'm convinced AF is on her way a little early again. CM is clear again this morning though so maybe not. Can't wait til tomorrow morning to see what my temp does.
