Hello peeps!
I have some questions. Please help!!
Yesterday at 6 am, I took a POA and it was
BFP!! A clear thick red line, at the
testing time. I checked again about ten
minutes later, it was still positive. I
then went to bed again and about 10 am
when I looked at the test again, I saw
that the positive line was gone .... I
thought it could be the fact that I had
very little pee and the test detected the
hCG in that little bit of pee and then was
gone.
So I took another test again this morning
around the same time, this time using the
Dip N' Test pack. I held the stick longer
in the urine cup, ie 4 mins instead of
just 2 mins as directed. The test result
was negative. The thing is, when I took
the test out of the package, I did not
stick it immediately in the urine as I was
confused which end should I dip, so I
ended up holding the dipping part in my
hand for a few short minutes. Would this
have any effect?
Fyi, I ovulated on the 21/5 (cramps lower
abdomen) and had unprotected sex on night
19/5. I ovulated late this time in my
cycle. By right I should have had my
period by the 31st of May (my last period
was on 30th April and my cycle is normally
28 - 30 days). I believe I am currently
having some symptoms of pregnancy ie
nausea, metallic taste in my mouth,
tiredness, late period, fluttering in the
lower abdomen, slight swelling. I know I
am pregnant!! But I am confused with the
HPTs. My questions are :
1.Is it too early for me to have taken the
HPTs, considering that it has only been
two weeks since unprotected sex?
2. When should I take the test actually?
DPO?
3. Why did I get a positive, which then
disappeared?
4. Why did I get a negative today? Could a
few minutes of exposing the test before
dipping into the urine affect it?
5. Should I wait 3 days now before taking
another test or do one by tomorrow
morning?
6. Is the POAS considered more sensitive
than a dip and tell?
I appreciate tremendously any input from
all you ladies. I am making an appointment
with my doc, but will only be able to see
her week after next as she's on vacation
and her calendar is full! So in the
meantime, I am dying here....
I just know I am pregnant! My last
pregnancy was 9 years ago, so this is
really really my miracle baby! I am 38 and
really really want this baby....
