I Haven't the Faintest Idea?
Posted: 09-08-05 16:45pm

Hello again,
well just back from a meal from my favourite restaurant with my fiance for our six and a half years together. Well on the way home I asked him to get a pregnancy test as I felt that I must as I was going to a christning on saturday and wanted to know? Well becos I am feeling tired all the time and just can't keep my eyes open and very cranky! Well he got me a double 1st response test. Went upstairs and done the business (wee) and waited for 3 minutes. I went into the toilet and looked at it in disappointment!!!!!

Then as I looked closer ans closer and closer I saw this other line?????? Its absolutely faint and I mean faint. My bf could see but said its a faint line and not to think anything of it but he could see it. Then I asked my mother and she went and got her glasses and said yeh but do not get ur hopes up cos its very very faint! Now as I look at it, its dissapering????

What do I think?? I am going to bed early every night and as I wiped myself 2night, I got a blotch of brown blood and i'm not due until saturday? Please reply as I am really in need of support here and very confused and high hopes?

Love

sadey

If you had the first response test that should be enough time to get a positive especially since your period is saturday. I'd until you were a couple days late and than test again and do it with first morning urine because it has more of the hormone in. The first hpt I took was a very very faint positive too but still a positive and I waited a couple days and tested again in the morning and sure enough the line was darker and i'm now almost 10 weeks. Good luck.

Hello poohbear,
thanx 4 the reply. I'm like what is this I see and the bf is no, ur imagining it? But as he looks at it closer he's like yeh its a line but so faint it's not there. Then I got the other test I had from about a month or so ago and compared it? There was no line near it that I had? No silch.. But i'm absolutley tired all the time and drinking to beat the band. The only reason I said get a test as I am being godmother to my brothers daughter and did not want to drink if I am??? I want to be sure if I am?

But I am sure enough happy to be alchohol free than not know?

The vey first pregnancy test I took was faint, faint, faint... I didn't think it was really positive, so I waited a few days, and took another. The next one, the line was still faint, but a little darker than the first. I'd say you've got a positive test, regardless of the shade of the line.

Yes..I have a 5 month old baby boy. In the summer of 2004 is when I got pregnant with him. I was late by about 3 days when I did the first test, which was faint, and the second test was only a couple days after the first... They were both faint...But, if you see a line, that means it is positive. If it wasn't positive, then nothing would show up at all.

It doesn't have to be bright to be positive...It just has to be there...Why don't you go get one of the pregnancy test that actually says "yes"..-for yes...And "no" for no...
Then there will be no mistaking.

The brown discharge is probably implantation bleeding. When I first got pregnant, I didn't know that even exsisted, and freaked becaise I thought I was miscarrying

Well,
its quite a long story as I thought I was preg from last month as I don't think that possible as it's not adding up. And if I was wos it would show up by now! The reason being is that I was cramping for ages after I had sex and had spotting around my af time and onle lasted for 3 days. Last month. Then it was brown to start off with and developed into red and was really light and then back to brown.

But this month I bd the bf and am soo tired I am lying on my back all of the time. He's ike u love lying on ur back all the time and it's only comfy way for me. Then yesterday, I wos doing crunches and my pelvis starting to aches really bad???

I'm just alot tired lately and wanting to scream for some reason!!!!!


I really appreciate u reply though?

I agree I took the first responce test to and it was positve then when I went to the dr and took the urine test there it was faint there too. At first they were like no I am sorry you are not pregnant then when I was getting ready to leave the nurse came back and got me and was like you will never believe this but you are. It was just I was so early. 4wks and 2days to be exact..

Hi,
well I did another test and the same thing, this one was alot fainter than the other one. Probably cos I drank loads of water! Is it normal for the line to disapear after half and hour?


Thanx

i would strongly recommend not doing crunches! Implantation bleeding is when the fertilised egg is implating itself into your uterus. So, anytime before this, I would imagine (as I am not completely sure) that it's just hanging around, trying to get a hold on your insides. If you do crunches, you could cause problems where implatation doesn't occur and you miscarry.

When I told my mum that I was pregnant, she told me that I had to stop lifting heavey things, make my fella come shopping with me and generally take care of myself. It's really difficult as you don't feel like you should be taking things easy until much later in the pregnancy, but to make sure that baby is ok, you really shouldn't do any excersize that puts a strain on your tummy.

On another note....If your test has the faintest of lines - you're pregnant. I had a really faint line - so much so, I too thought I was imagining it...But a week later, there was a nice strong line!

Good luck with your pregnancy and just take things really easy....
Xx

Hi sadey....I'm 7 weeks, 5 days according to my last v.Scan.

I don't do exersize :oops:!! But am planning to start swimming. I was a jetskier and find it sooo frustrating that I can't go out playing but have to watch my partner and friends having a good time :cry: !!

Keeping this a secret too so they just think that I am wimping out with a bad back....Lol

i would just check that you don't overdo the gym stuff. I've been told not to stretch as well and have noticed when reaching for things from the kitchen cupboard that I get a twinge in my tummy.

How far are you?
Xx

Well I am due tomorrow, so I would say 4 weeks approx. I'm just wondering that it's not from last month as I did loads of test but got my af. Well they were really not a normal af. They were brown/red and only lasted for around 2 half days. I had bad cramps, alot of gas and heartburn!

I don't think, as I stopped testing b4 my af came so never did one after that! So am not too sure. If that the case wouldn't the test come up darker then! I doubt its from last month. I am not too sure though.

Well i'm still not too convinced I am preg though!!!!! Just don't want to get my hopes up. Its weird as I had a dream the other night that I got 2 lines and in my deam that meant a negative. But then my mother said u normally reverse it???

You seem to have the same attitude as me...."what will be will be" and that other great one "everything happens for a reason". Since I had bleeding and the doctors thought I was either weeks, I had a scan early to check everything was ok....So already have a prospective due date... Baby is currently due on 23 april 2006!

My grandad died last year and he meant the world to me and his birthday was 24 april! I recon junior will be poping out then! Fingers crossed. Lol

Thats really weird, co that means then that u would have the same af dates as me. Was last month the 13th august. My due dates if I wos pregnancy for last month and thats the dates I would of gotten!

What was the scan like? At least u got to have a little look and see that everyhting is ok and see it for real!!!!

First scan (5 weeks) was literaly a round sac with an egg in it....The second (6.5 weeks) was a (how do I put it) a peanut type shape with a heart beat!!!

I didn't get to see very much but was lovely to see that it was really real and not in my imagination!

They get your due date from the size of the fetus.

I was told after my first scan that it was possible that as both me and my doctor thought I was further along than I was, I may not have a viable pregnancy....Anembryonic. So, I did all the checks on the internet about that condition and other ones, just to make sure that I had all the facts and new what was going on. It made me feel so much calmer! But luckily everything was fine. (the first bit I saw though....Was only the sac and my heart missed a beat, then as she kept looking around I thought to myself, don't be silly, you know you're ok!)

have you met with the midwife yet?

Well I only did a test last night, so I am going to do another one tomorrow to see if the line darkens at all. I'm not 100% sure yet???

I'm still very early to tell

Wow....You'll do a few more as the time goes by and you have to wait for scans!

I met this woman the other day and she said that when she was pregnant, she tested her wee every morning. She said that she would wee into a jar first thing in the morning, let it settle, then pour the clear stuff off the top and you're left with frog sporn looking stuff. She says that as the pregnancy hormone increases, so does the thickness of the frog sporn type stuff!

Not sure if I would wanna do this personally!!
