BFN or BFP?
| Sun, 07-27-2003 - 10:28pm |
OK.. I am very confused here and don't know what to think anymore hence the reason I am posting here. My lmp was 6/26 lasted for 6 days (normal).. I don't know when I o'd .. I am using a fertility monitor which never gave me peak days this cycle..well..I had a run of major nausea and heartburn..heartburn kicked in after I ate as well as when I was hungry. OK..so last week I took HPT..first took a First Response Early HPT..BFP showed up right away then faded and disappeared. Found a post which stated they also had this happen to them and to beware.. So I assumed that it was a BFN. I also did another test (different brand Confirm)and it was BFN. Well yesterday I started with "spotting" .. don't even know that I would call it that. It is brown in color and not enough to need a pad or anything. But I figured it was AF starting. Just for the heck of it I took another HPT tonight (Answer brand)..and had an EXTREMELY faint positive. DH saw it as well so it's not me being crazy.. The problem is that I don't trust it. Just a little history..my cycle is normally 31 to 33 days (am on day 30 today)..usually get "cramps" one week prior to AF showing up..nothing! Just the nausea and heartburn.. Bbs not sore etc.. Just looking for any type of advice that anyone can give. I hate this with a passion (the not knowing that is).. I had a very faint positive before and was bleeding..Went to the hospital and it was negative (blood and urine). so false positive before (that also was with the First Response Early HPT) Needless to say I won't be using that test anymore. Any suggestions would be very welcome at this point. Thanks in advance.

I'm sure this is not much help. However, I just found out I am PG. Actually, took a HPT 7/23 after work (AF due 7/24) it was after the timeframe (since I forgot about it,,believe it or not) and it was faint +. I took another the next morning (first urine) it was darker and did come within 3mins. I bought an off store brand at Kroger (grocery store). I didnt want to get my hopes up but my DD and DH said they saw it. Hell, I even took it to work to show my good friend (afraid my eyes were playing tricks) she agreed +++++. I have bled a little on and off 25th thru a little today. Not red like AF, so I've taken it easy. I went ahead and took another HPT this afternoon and there it was darker ++. I have been nauseous and very very tired. Some sore bbs. I've read CVS pg test is pretty good and measures for low dosages of HCG.
I hope this is it for you. Good luck. Let me know how you are and what happens.

Thanks for the reply. I am planning on taking another one in the morning. The one I took tonight was soooo faint but was there.. DH saw it like I said in previous post. Normally it's my eyes playing tricks on me and I will show him and he;ll say, "I don't see anything" but not this time. So that's a plus for me BUT I have also had false positive so I am not trusting whatsoever. This is eating away at me. DD is 8 years old.. At that time cycle was very irregular so for me to miss a month was not that big of a deal. By the time I found out that I was pg I was 8 weeks along and had a very positive HPT. Well we'll see what it says in the AM. I forgot to add to my previous post that I normally cycle around day 17 but like I said no peak days this month.. Why I don't know. Anyway, enough babble from me. CONGRATS to you though. I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months.
