Guest guest Posted January 12, 2000 Report Share Posted January 12, 2000 Krista, I am only about 4 and a half weeks past LMP, today I am 4 days late, and there is still no sign at all of AF arriving, so I am really confused. I am still very nauseaous all the time, and very tired. My doc. said that physically it looked like all the signs were there, but all the tests have been neg. so far, which is what confuses me. I did have a strange O thing this month, and I thought that I was O'ing a second time about 3 days after the first one,but even if I did O truly the second time and not the first, I would now be one day late, so AF is late either way. What is the earliest that a blood test can detect a pg.? No one can really give me a straight answer, but I just want to know, so that I can weigh up the odds. The pains are better today, just a mild ache really, so I guess that is a good sign, still little comfort though. I will phone my doc. again tomorrow afternoon and just check on the arrangements for Friday. The thing is, remember last month I had that mid-cycle bleeding thing? It lasted about 4 or 5 days starting on CD#12, and I also had these horrid pains. The doc. then said it was O pains, and scarring that caused the bleeding, but now I am worried that maby it all started then. I had the same thing with my last ep. AF before seemed normalish, but also with some mid-cycle spotting, and then next month no AF, and I think 2 neg. urine tests and a neg. blood test, and a week after that, I was in surgery. I am trying to stay pos. and not get to freaked out, but it is hard, I am sure you understand, you just keep on getting these flash backs to the last time, and it is scary. Anyways, thank you for your support, I will keep you up to date. sonja Re: pg Sonja, How scary for you. How many weeks past LMP would you be? Sorry, I have such a hard time keeping up. As for IVF, don't feel that is your only option right now. See what the tests say, okay? Chin up.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2000 Report Share Posted January 12, 2000 Sonja, What you are going through sounds really scary. I have a question though. Have you told your dr that it seems the same as your previous ep. Or has s/he expressed remembering the last one. Doctors have lots of patients and may not remember the specific details unless s/he checked back through your records. My point in this is maybe they can find a way to test if it is presenting the same way. I don't really know. It is just a suggestion. I am really praying that things start going better. Just make sure you stick with the bedrest until you are advised otherwise. Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2000 Report Share Posted January 12, 2000 Sonja, It is possible that you had late implantation! Ask your doctor about this, it could explain the HCG and u/s questions... Hang in there! Take care, Krista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2000 Report Share Posted January 12, 2000 Sonja: Hang in there sweetie. I am praying that all will be well with you soon and that you will have some answers (especially the one you want so much) on Friday. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Try to take it easy and not worry too much between now and then (I know, easier said than done). Much love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2000 Report Share Posted January 13, 2000 , I agree with . The hpt's are most reliable from the day after you miss your period. They say the day your period is late. Did you say what kind you are going to take? Some are more sensitive than others. On the babydata.com site they have a list of tests and their hcg sensitivity. For example, confirm 1 Step, CVS (shocking), and One step be sure all detect 25 HCG. Clearblue easy and E.P.T. detect 40 and 50 . First response detects 100. Fact plus detects 150-250. Of couse I'm not saying these are accurate. Like I said earlier, the day I took mine I was at 235 and my line was very faint on the clearblue easy. Go figure. Just my input.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2000 Report Share Posted January 18, 2000 , Thanks! It does suck. But I'm on CD4. A week to go until the next bd fest. Keep your fingers crossed. Tara Re: pg Dear Tara, That SUCKS! Excuse my word choice, but it just does! There is no reason for AF to show herself in the Correia household this month! I will keep my fingers crossed and in the meantime, if she does show up, then that's just a week and a half or so before the BD!

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2000 Report Share Posted January 18, 2000 , How did you know I was a Pamprin addict? I really needed it this month and it worked. My mood was doing pretty good by Sunday. We will try again this month, but I am not getting my hopes up. (I know, I know, easier said than done). When I first started ttc, I was so sure of myself, that it would be a cinch. I am going to just try and relax and stick to our plan. I just want one. I'm not being greedy. We're already raising 2, so a family of 3 is doable. Hopefully God is listening. Tara Re: pg Tara, I'm sorry to hear about the AF symptoms. I'm waiting for my disappointment, too. When you talked about your DHs ex, I strongly believe that what goes around, comes around. I've actually seen it happen and I know it to be true. Even if we don't see the results, I know in my heart that these evil people won't get away with that. Every time I see something about parents or guardians or whatever, abusing children, it makes me want to go up to them and throw them off of something very tall. I ask myself how these people can pump kids out left and right when there are loving people out there in the world that would give their right arm to be blessed with a child. I hope you have a quick AF so you can try again. The disappointment sucks. (Sorry for the term, but it describes my feelings exactly!) The stress (repeat)! The hole inside your heart (repeat)! I am blessed with a child but still feel an emptiness. Our family isn't complete yet. I know some people are happy with one child, but we wanted two and I want my daughter to have a sibling. I also don't like the idea of my fertility being compromised. It makes me feel vulnerable and incomplete. Well, enough rambling. Just take some extra strength Pamprin (they take my cramps away and mellow me out) and do something for yourself.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2000 Report Share Posted January 18, 2000 Oh You are CD#4, sorry I didn't read that post before I sent my reply in. I am CD#5 so we really are in this together.(I actually started on Thursday, but it was just after 4, so I guess I should count Friday as the first day)Also patiently waiting for the bd. fest to begin. Bad thing is though, that my dh. is now working nights, so I can see us missing the crucial days this month.(although, my son is now at playschool in the mornings, so we can always fit a day session in here or there) Listen to us planning sex like a school outing.LOL Well take care sonja Re: pg Dear Tara, That SUCKS!
