Trying for a Baby Part 7

That's good lily, least it means it's one thing out of the way quite quickly.

Fingers definitely crossed for you x.

May as well remove me from the testing list. Still have blood streaked cm.

Off to the doctors in half hour to see what they can do.

I haven't got my dress yet for my wedding QQ. I am going to sort that out beginning of next year. Got a while to sort everything out.

Lilymay - still excited for you!

Flee - ((hugs)), would you normally have that before AF?

Tealover - good luck for Friday, totally understandable to feel like that! The thought of it is probably worse than actually meeting them though x

12DPO for me today, this is the day I start spotting and then AF shows 2 days later, so i'm very nervous and not very positive today.

Quick question - I have been taking my temp at 5am this cycle but woke to go to the toilet at 3:30am and took a while for me to get back to sleep, I still went ahead and took my temp at 5am (was down a bit), would you disregard this? Or just make a note of it? I don't log my temp at all if I've been drinking alcohol the night before as it's really not accurate (very high) so wondering if the non consecutive 3 hrs of sleep makes that much difference ...

Miss Maid - i have been trying, when ever possible, to take my temp at 7am this cycle. My temp yestersay was taken at 9am and as you can see it had gone up. All the other 'post ov' temps have been at 7am and are all virtually the same which is good. I had to take my twmp at 4am a couple of times this month and I still recorded them, just disregarded them as they were much lower than they should be. Hope that helps

miss maid - I'd say at 12DPO it doesn't really matter if the temp is a bit off. It's probably more important to be accurate when you're trying to determine when ov will be. Once you've ov'd, you don't need the temps as such - AF will turn up or not regardless. Fingers crossed it's an AF no-show this time!

...and just to make me look like even more of an idiot. CD1.

And round we go again.

Also because I wasnt expecting it for a couple of days I dont have my mooncup and my emergency tampons are in my other handbag. Think any of my male colleagues would go on an emergency tampax run for me?

Hi all, nothing has changed on me being out for the moment but did another test today on the advice of a friend, same thing, pink over the join line. I lifted the top bit of paper that you pee on and it was really pink underneath, so still not sure if the tests are just odd.

...or not. Had a rush of blood onto my knickers which was like the start of full flow AF and now its stopped. No idea what my body thinks its doing. Guess I will have to wait and see.

Sorry for the BFN lilymay. And also for the blood streaked cm Flee.

gemmzie, the pink will be from the dye reservior in the test. The way these things work is that you dip them in pee, the pee soaks up the test taking the dye with it to the antibody strips. The control line reacts only to moisture so the dye will stick to it and the test line will show pink only if hcg. Sounds like the dye in your tests is pooling at the end (are you dipping them for long enough?) but if the control line is showing then enough dye is probably making it to the test for it to work. You should disregard the line at the end because its probably just some dye sticking to the glue.
