Could I be???

I can only tell you my experience when expecting my daughter. I did a test and nothing came up in the test window within the allotted time so I just left it on the side in the bathroom. Later on I came back and noticed that there was a very faint 2nd line there. I got so excited I got one of the branded sticks to pee on and sure enough the line came up on that ( it was 1st Repsonse) straight away.

However I know that the tests all specifically warn about evaporation lines so don't get too excited yet. Maybe get a branded test to use and if you are pregnant the hcg levels will go up pretty quickly at this stage so normally you'll get a postive quite quickly.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you x

The digital ones give you a clear yes/no - expensive but worth it. Good luck!

Ah I'm made up for you. Delighted to hear you got your good news and finally peeing on all those sticks turned up the right answer for you
I wish you a very happy and healthy 9 months xxx

Congratulations.:)

Congrats Cinderella, have a healthy & happy nine months

Hi Girls,

I'm feelin' exactly like Cinderella was ten days ago, and really hoping I get the same outcome...

Faint line on two cheapies (same sample) last night - I dipped the second one in case the first was an evap line, but both were visible (to OH too - I'm defo not seeing things!!).
Though I promised him I'd wait til tomorrow to do a test, I got up at seven this morning (about 14hrs after original sample) and did another two
There was a line on each, but it was fainter than last night. Hoping against hope it wasn't a chemical pregnancy...
Have a ClearBlue (or three!) for tonight, tomorrow and Thurs....just in case I need them. Due period anywhere between tomorrow and Thurs, so hoping I didn't succumb to the early testing curse

Here's hoping we're all for a sober Christmas!

Best of luck, its so hard to tell during those crucial couple of days with hcg levels so low but (hopefully!) creeping up!! I know ur probably dying to fastforward a few days so that you can get a definitive answer! I really hope you get the positive your hoping for!!:)

Well Ladies,

Did a cheapie last night and nothing at all....couldn't even pretend to imagine I could see anything. Very disheartened....OH was still positive but I wasn't, was sure it was too good to be true.

But.....

At half three this morning (my first morning sample!), I'm pretty sure I woke half the neighbourhood with my screaming - poor DP got the fright of his life when this maniac came running towards him in the dark waving the stick! Digital CB - Pregnant 1-2 Weeks past ovulation!

I've a million questions and I'm wrecked (who could go back to sleep after that?!) but so happy. Have the OH praying up a storm (not my thing!) that all is well.

As I said in another thread, I'm a long-time lurker...but I've been following everyones stories - wishing the best of everything to you all.

Am so happy for you

Congratulations!!! Thats great news!
Hopefully be joining you soon...ive decided accupuncture is the way forward, might be too late for this month by the time i get it organised as works mad, but def next month!!
Anyway, huge congratulations, im glad you didnt have to wait another few days to get your BFP, lovely news:D

Congrats to you Silcocky, have a happy and healthy 9 months

Hi,

I decided to post this here as I didn't want to start a new thread about the same thing - hope thats ok!! Anyway - have been unofficially TTC for a few months. My cycle is aprox 33 days each month and have been working out my ovulation dates from that - and also sort of keeping an eye on other things. I am wondering how soon I can actually start to notice symptoms - I have about a week to wait til my period should be due so I am thinking that if I was it may be too early to even notice anything.

My breasts are really tender, I have 'period-like' cramps only less intense, I feel a lot hungrier than before and I just feel sometimes not like I have cramps but 'different' - is hard to explain. I know that I could be just hyper-vigilant and noticing everything - but this is the first month that I have noticed these things. I could be getting an early period but usually I feel very sick in the week before my period begins and I have none of that this time.

I dont want to go buy a test because every month I tell myself that I wont and then two days before I am due my period I am in the chemist - this time I am determined to wait it out.

I am probably not - so don't be afraid to reply that I am probably not - I just wanted somewhere to share and wonder 'what if'!

Thanks CCL - I don't want to get all hopefull. Everytime I have any type of stomach pain my OH says 'maybe you are pregnant' - so I am staying quiet as I dont want him to get his hopes up. I am still determined to wait for a missed period - although worrying that I may be pregnant might actually delay it!!

Thanks guys...unfortunately my period started last night. Am so disappointed. My period is early - Friday & Saturday I had 'spotting' that wasn't at all like a normal period so I was sort of convincing myself it may be implantation bleeding or something as it was 10 to 12 days after ovulation and a few days before my period - so it was possible!!

I have been through this disappointment before - but for some reason this month is worse. Maybe it is because I was so sure that I may have been pregnant this time.

I know that we have only been trying for a while - but it is so hard each month.

Am just having a bad day I guess - will pick myself tomorrow and start all over again!!
