After my m/c and when DF and I decided to try again we didnt "Try" we just BD when we felt like it and were relaxed about it and I tried my hardest not to stress about getting a BFP. Seemed to work As the month I got my bfp I had said to DF that I didnt feel pregnant at all, I felt normal. I would still test before AF was due tho just to see if Id maybe fallen preg hehe, cos I guess I still knew roughly when Iw as ovulating and stuff, we just didnt obsess about it like last time.

Babies alright! lol they make women go clucky and crazy ]]> Fri, 11 Jan 2008 11:21:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13505&PID=274948&title=tests-symptoms#274948 <![CDATA[Tests & symptoms : Too scared to hope.

Too scared to hope. Hate that let down feeling when AF shows up. I didn't want to "try" this time and I promised myself I wouldn't obsess over gettng a BFP. What it is with babies...they drive us mad but we still want more of them!

I've been getting heartburn at night which I haven't had since pregnancy with Elle but maybe I'm just eating poorly.

Only time will tell!]]> Fri, 11 Jan 2008 10:37:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13505&PID=274914&title=tests-symptoms#274914 <![CDATA[Tests & symptoms : FionaS wrote:Question: If...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13505&PID=274901&title=tests-symptoms#274901 Author: Shezamumof3

I took me until the day AF was due to get a BFP this time and my hcg levels were SOOOO high, we thought maybe it was twins as it was so high(had to have blood tests as had early bleeding), but it took me 6 tests over a few days to finally get bfp on a digital (the day AF was due.) I had gotten some super duper faint lines on a few tests and then some bfn on others, it was so confusing. Plus I didnt even feel pregnant, boobs wernt sore or anything, I was just slightly more tired.

So..my levels were really high, but still didnt give me an early reasult. If they were super high at 6 weeks they must have been high when I tested aswell. I think everyone is different, so dont give up hope, its never over until AF shows up.

Symptoms could be PMS but it'd be the first time I've had them this far out from my period. Symptom started on Sunday (about 7 days post suspected ovulation) and includ dragging sensation in pelvis and lower back, dizziness (got this 1 week before BFP with Elle but could be heat!), sudden sharp pulling sensation from time to time in the region of the round ligaments when I move suddently, skin has gone NUTS...like teenage days, breasts a little tender which used to happen all the time but hasn't since I had Elle. The funny thing is, I hadn't even thought of TTC or timing but suddenly felt pregnant! Probably just the subconcious mind playing tricks with me I think!]]> Thu, 10 Jan 2008 21:44:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13505&PID=274648&title=tests-symptoms#274648 <![CDATA[Tests & symptoms : Not neccessarily!

Not neccessarily! I woke up about a week before AF was due and suddenly had this random revelation that my boobs were giant and that I was pregnant. I tried to put it out of my mind but the boobs got bigger and I started feeling bloated so when AF was a no show I tested. I pretty much knew by then, have been preg enough times! But I tested at 14dpo and only got a faint line, then had hCG drawn at 15dpo and it was only at 137 so if I had tested way back when my boobs blew up I would have got a BFN.

There are lots of other hormones in play with pregnancy (progesterone, prolactin etc.) and the HPT only picks up hCG so it could be the other hormones causing the symptoms. I still have my fingers crossed for you!]]> Thu, 10 Jan 2008 21:36:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13505&PID=274640&title=tests-symptoms#274640 <![CDATA[Tests & symptoms : we will be watching this space...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13505&PID=274636&title=tests-symptoms#274636 Author: kezplanet

I used an early response test today and it was negative.

You can always use an early response pg test - I used one before af was due and got my bfp. You can use them as early as 4 days before af is due I think.

Not always. Sometimes your HCG isn't always that high when you first get pregnant. I had a test done 3 days before I did a test and the first test done at the hospital (i collasped at work and they thought I was pregnant - little did they actually know) was a BFN and then 3 days later I did a test and hello BFP.

I don't know. As we're not trying, I haven't paid any attention to the length of my cycles. I might be due in 4 days or it might be 5! My periods have been painless and problem free (only had 5 so far as they didn't come back until Elle was 12mths) so I haven't paid any attention. We're not trying but would be delighted if we were pregnant. The whole TTC thing scares me as we did it for 24 months to get Elle so it would be a dream come true to get pregnant easily this time.

I think I ovulated somewhere around the 30th Dec tto the 2nd Jan so depends how long my cycles are]]> Thu, 10 Jan 2008 18:51:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13505&PID=274472&title=tests-symptoms#274472 <![CDATA[Tests & symptoms : i was going to ask that..why is...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13505&PID=274451&title=tests-symptoms#274451 Author: ElfsMum
