    DL I get Alot of brown too! I get it 2 days before my period actually starts then I get a heavy period for 2 days then it's pretty much gone! My Doc told ne it's normal.. Gonna ask the Gyno about it in May when I go & see what they say.. I'll let you know :)
    I'm a little excited about the test tomorrow.. I'm not sure if I'm convincing myself of signs I'm getting or if I actually have them if that makes sense?! For eg I noticed this evening that my Areola (surround o my nipples) are darker! Mine would be very light normally but it's like I can't remember if they go dark near my period or not! I'm prob not making much sense :~
    Anywho my sleep is calling :) talk to you ladies in the AM :) baby dust to all xxx
    WELL TIGERESS was awake till 3 three thinking about your test today lol whats the result was I right ???? Have my fingers and toes crossed for you !!!!:D:D:D

    Did a pregnancy test yesterday, was feeling nauseous and no sign of a period in nearly 6 weeks. Came back negative though :( If there is no sign of one in a week I will try again!

    Hope everyone is having better luck x

    C*O*N*G*R*A*T*U*L*A*T*I*O*N*S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Tigeress I'm absolutely delighted for you!!!!! So lovely to see good news here, it gives a girl a bit of hope!

    DFT, hope you're enjoying a fab week in Tenerife, much deserved!

    Good luck to the rest of us this month.

    My cycle is gone mad, day 30 of cycle, was 28 days month previous & 30+ days last week. So very tempted to test today as I know we did do the deed on the day I was ovulating, but don't think chemist will be open by the time I finish work at 6pm, typical!
    Will hold off til tomorrow & see how it goes, though not getting my hopes up in any way at all.

    Happy Easter everyone, hope ye get to go out and enjoy this heatwave we're having (currently 26 degrees in Kilkenny, ok so its in the car but still, it must be 20+ outside :) )

    Time to crack out the icecreams methinks :cool:

    I love to hear success stories, as it reminds me it may just well be around the corner for me too!
    Best wishes to you, your other half and your precious little bean!! x

    Thanks so much Cap & Dublinlady :) hopefully everything will be Ok this time round and I'll have a new year baba :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,880 ✭✭✭caprilicious


    Please God all goes well Tigeress & you'll have a happy & healthy pregnancy :)

    So frustrating, I'm late (again :rolleyes:) currently on day 32 of my cycle (28 days last month) so started getting my hopes up.
    I've been quite good most months at not getting my hopes up too much, but I'd no menstrual cramps/other signs of period this month so stupidly started getting my hopes up.
    I bought a digital pregnancy test (they're eye wateringly dear aren't they? :eek: I'd forgotten - €22.99 for a 2 pack), drove home, nice sunny day visioning myself producing the 'pregnant' result for the other half when he got home, but got a big fat negative.
    I don't know what possessed me to get my hopes up so much this month, I think its because I'm sure we did the deed exactly when I was ovulating this month.

    Still no sign of a period, I'm very tempted to test again the morning with first morning urine, though thinking maybe I should wait til Monday just in case.
    Anyhoo enough of my moaning, hope ye are all ok. Here's to next month instead :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,992 ✭✭✭dublinlady


    Aw Hun, I know how you feel, last month I had a 34 day cycle when normally 28-28 day cycles, it's so so frustrating. I know how hard it is but try to distract yourself for the next few days and try and leave testing again til Monday morning anyway, just cos the bloody things are so pricey! Plus it will do your spirits no good to be seeing negatives! Just presume it's your cycle having a funny month , as they so often can for what seems like no reason and then if you do get a positive on Monday then fantastic! Hope your ok , I know how much it can play on your mind, and if your not pregnant you just want your period to come so that you can start again... It's a bloody cruel time :(

    I found out today my sister in law pregnant.. Obviously delighted for her but again...'just start to wonder... Will it ever be my turn...
    Chin up I suppose, we have to stay positive! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,880 ✭✭✭caprilicious


    Thanks Dublinlady x Please God it will be your turn too, and soon :)

    Girls this is a really embarrassing thing to ask & more a sign of how I'm clutching at straws than anything else :rolleyes::o:D

    If I had done the bold thing within 6 hours of doing the pregnancy test, would the sperm dilute the urine & give a negative result?
    I know if you drink a lot later in the day it can dilute the hsg pregnancy hormone, just wondering if this could work the same?

    Thanks for the reply cordub, its ok, I know that its a different hole ;)

    I know that the reason you're supposed to take pregnancy test in the morning as your urine is more concentrated therefore HCG levels will read higher.
    Thus drinking more liquids will dilute HCG & may give a false negative. That's why I was wondering if sperm in urine might have the same diluting effect.

    :confused::D:confused::D


    I just did a first response test as there is still no sign of my period. I didn't use first sample as I thought I'd have the patience to wait til tomorrow to test:rolleyes::o

    I think it might be positive......There are definitely two lines, one is fainter than the other......just looked again, defo two lines.


    Erm......:D:confused::D:confused::pac:

    Right, off to my mothers for dinner. After weeks of being good, I'm gonna go STUFF MY FACE:D:D


    Happy Easter everyone xxx


    EDIT; I spent a bazillion euro on tests so I'll test again in the morning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,992 ✭✭✭dublinlady


    Oh my god lucyfur!!!!!!! Huge huge huge congrats!!!!!! Wow!! When I got my positive first it was so so faint, and then the next day a slightly stronger first response, and then the next a positive on clearblue digital!! If there is any hint or a line it is a positive!!!!! Yippee!!
    Loving the good news on here at the mo!! Im convinced it's easier to get pregnant in the summer, to do with warmth etc! So bring on the next few positives people.. Oh and please please please let mine be one of them!! :)

    ah sorry about that was trying humour :rolleyes::rolleyes: no it doesnt dilute it as the sperm goes directly into your uterus and nowhere near your waterworks am guessing you prob know this , good luck with the TTC though it will happen just a matter of time for you , fingers and toes crossed for you ;)

    You mean if the semen drips into your urine sample while you are filling it? Not sure - it did occur to me too with the OPKs. It possibly could is my uneducated guess, but if you use the first sample of the day then you would be pretty sure of getting an accurate result.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,880 ✭✭✭caprilicious


    Lucyfur - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! SO delighted for you! What a lovely suprise for Easter! I'm absolutely thrilled for you x

    Lol sorry I thought you were being serious :D:eek: That's what I get for staying up too late :o:D
    I was clutching at straws hoping for my positive result but its not to be this month, another negative this morning, still no sign of AF which is really irritating.
    I wish it'd just hurry up and start so I can start another cycle :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,513 ✭✭✭✭Lucyfur


    Thank you ladies, you are all so lovely. I honestly don't know what I'd do without ye:D

    It's all a bit surreal. It's only a month since I miscarried. The doctor did say the I'd be very fertile in the first couple of months after the miscarrige, and I know I ovulated about two weeks ago......but I really didn't think anything would happen this soon. I'm gonna test again in the morning. I have 2 of the clearblue digital tests.

    OMG Lucyfur!!!! Congrats hun xxxx so happy for you :)

    Ladies, I hope you don't mind if I ask a question... I tried asking on the preg chat but they're not very responsive... I have quite noticeable cramps in both my sides and uterus on and off for 2 weeks now.. I looked online which I honestly wish I hadn't as there is so much it could be! It's not severe by any indication it is however annoying and noticeable! I don't know if I should be worried as it was Alot worse last week & seems to have gotten to a steady stage where it's neither getting worse or better.. I'm staying positive but at the same time so nervous as per prev preg experiences & the worry of etopic :( anyone ever heard of this happening?

    I hope I find you all well :) and having a great Easter break xxx
