Girls who are trying

Sorry Simonne, its so easy to misunderstand each other when all we do is type! I'm glad I didn't upset you... was worried I'd put my foot in it again!

You are TTC #1, right? You might be like me and show late... With Josiah, I did a test on the Wednesday, negative. Did another on the Thursday (yes, next day!), positive! This was when my period was 2 weeks late, by then. I did a test last month, a couple of weeks after my weird period, which was negative, so I must have been a day or two too early.

It is entirley possible you culd be pregnant and equally so it is entirley possible the stress of trying to get pregnant could be making you wacko...I know it did for me!

If you can wait for a couple of days past your due date that is ideal, and can save you a small fortune on tests (*ahem* speaking from experience)...

It is almost impossible to relax though and I hated people telling me too...the annoying part was that when we gave up, accepted that we were going for fertility treatment (yes our doc had turned up a small problem) we got pregnant. *sigh*

Good luck babe!!!!

Yes, good luck Simonne!

Thanks Jess! Maybe I'll be buying some of your bodysuits sooner than I expected!

simonne, with jack i tested the day before AF was due (an aries also, no patience) and it was negative. waited 2wks cos i just 'forgot' about it and was positive.
not that i want to get your hopes up or anything, but just don't give up yet
both times i've used the first response tests from the supermarket without probs and they are only $12/2 tests or $7 for one.

Hi everyone,

AF arrived last night ...and I'm not trying to be silly, but I actually think it may have been a very early miscarriage. My body has gone completely nuts, and AF has never been like this for me (and I'm quite used to weird and unpleasant AF visits). Apart from all the very odd things that happened leading up to, nothing about it is normal (for me) either. Temps have taken a nice sharp plop this morning though, so my chart for last month looks excellent (in terms of being an ovulatory chart) which I'm glad about. Bring on cycle 10!

Oh, and for a laugh ...this comment came from my husband this morning, who floated the idea of an early miscarriage ... "Well ...that's typical isn't it? The boys finally do something, and it's the drunk one who scores the goal!" Gotta love him!

Thanks so much Jack's Mum. What I'm not sure about is whether I should go to the doctor, just to have it noted, in case. It seems a bit silly, but I really have no idea. What do you/anyone else think? I'm a bit away with the fairies today! Can't concentrate no matter what I do

LMAO at the drunk swimmers - that would be a good way to explain my M/C probably too...

If it makes you feel better then go see your doc, but unfortunately there is unlikely to be any way that he/she can confirm whether or not you have had an early miscarriage. A blood test will tell them whether any hCG remains in your system, but the fact that you tested negative yesterday suggests that there isn't, and that would be the only way they could know for certain. Very early miscarriages are almost always complication-free so I wouldn't worry about that side of things.
Also - some people believe you are more fertile after a m/c - I know I was! - so you might find that this actually HELPS you get pregnant!

I'd quite happily give my boobs away though ...holy hell!

sending lots of baby dust your way simonne

Hi ya, I am sitting here reading all these replies and had to laugh at all us Aries ladies who are so impatient. I can totally relate! This month hubby has told me to wait and see if i miss my period but now that I have found out about the tests you can do early I am not sure I will be able to cope! LOL
