Morning all

I need some advice or reassurance.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Iv been on my 2ww, what was the longests 2 weeks of my life and the big day was yesterday, Friday. Iv been spotting the start of the week which then went into a AF, so as you can guess I was devastated. I forgot to say I did a preg test on Tuesday & it was a BFN

I rang the hospital on Thursday and spoke to the nurse about my heavy bleeding & the test I did.. She told me off for doing a test and I was to do enough one on the Friday Morning. My DF went out and bought a Clear Blue test

I did the test by myself yesterday and it came up POSITVE but the line was faint. IS THIS NORMAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I rang the hospital and spoke to the same nurse and she said i was preg but I cant get my head around it

Please help

Hi Ray

Good to hear that the nurses managed to put your mind at rest a bit. It is so unfair how this part of the treatment it so wishy washy just when we need definite answers.

You are still in the running though so fingers crossed Friday is a very good day for you. I leave on Thursday for my hols so won't be here to hear the good news but I will have everything crossed for you.

Take care Jo x

Hi Everyone

Thank you all so much for your well wishes, they keep me strong and positve

I spoke to the hospital before and the nurse told me this is very normal because of the amount of drugs in my body BUT she did also say It could lead to my AF!!!!!! Roll on Friday....

MRS 30 - tomorrow with your first injection. I am so excited for you - keep us all updated

Ling - Have you got any dates yet to start your treatment, its a bit of a bummer you have to pay but it will be all worth it in the end. Im still loving being off work, im a sales rep for Coca Cola with lots of demanding customers, so Its been so nice to turn my company phone off.

Keep me updated

Oh Ray honey a big hug coming its way to you.

Spotting could be down to many things. There are a lot of people who have had spotting and got a BFP and had a healthy pregnancy and baby. Are you 10 days post egg collection or embryo transfer?

I think the best thing you can do to try and save you so much worrying is to ring your hospital. If it is 10 days post embryo transfer they may let you go in for your blood test. When is your official test date? Do you normally spot before AF?

You have so many different drugs in your system that your body will react differently. Progesterone seems to affect everyone is such different ways.

Ray it is not over so as hard as it is do try and keep positive. I will be thinking of you.
