In the pink
Today I peed on a stick and got two pink lines. The first positive pregnancy test I've ever had.
I am one smug motherfucker today.
I showed it to Paul, who was skeptical. (It's his job to keep me pragmatic, and I love him for it. Really. Stop laughing.) "Are you sure the shot's out of your system yet?" he asked.
Reasonably sure, since today is 9 days past transfer. But just to be one the safe side, I stole out like a thief this afternoon and bought three more pregnancy tests to use on the sly.

If you feel like you have had a miscarriage? but took a pregnancy test again, will it still read posistive because the pregnacy hormone is still in your body?

Are home pregnancy tests fool-proof? I do have some pregnancy symtoms, took a test it faintly was positive, took another one 3 days later said negative
I was pregnant a few months ago and I miscarriaged but my period was normal after that so...I was supposed to have my period by the end of the month but it's already the the 7th of June and I use protection with my boyfriend. I also have been experiencing white discharge and increased appitite and also I am so exhausted whem I wake up. Could I be pregnant or is it just stress?
Today I peed on a stick and got two pink lines. The first positive pregnancy test I've ever had. I have taken two more since then. THe Dr told me to come in July and an Ultrasound. That is 3 weeks away. Do you really think that i am pregnate.
I am about 5 weeks prenant and I have a lot of discharge is this normal
my last menstruation was delayed for five days and when it came, my discharge was only for a day and a half. there was heavy flow on the first day but on the second, the flow is only light and brownish. today is the 15th day of my cycle and i am having a discharge of brownish spots. what could this mean?
my wife is two months pregnant, this is our first hand experience,. My question is that, will it be safe for both the baby and mother if I decide to have sex with my wife? Is so then, upto how many months can we have sex? Currently,I stopped having sex with my wife for about a month as a precaution, since she is two months pregnant.

I had an overwhelming feeling I was pregnant, took a test which was faintly 2 pink lines, then last week I had really bad period pain and my period was quite clotted, when I went to the toilet a finger nail size bloody blob came out, did I lose the baby? I have been through alot of stress and was even taking hospital due to having to many pain killers could this have done harm to the baby?
i think i may be pregnant. I have unprotected sex regular, but i have been off the pill for 4 months. i am experiencing several period pains, i have very irregular period so i do not know when i am due. Pregnancy test showed negative, could i be pregnant?
MY WIFE DID HER IVF 22 DAYS BACK ,WE DID HOME PREGNANCY TEST AFTER 19 DAYS OF IVF IT CAME NEGATIVE,3 DAYS PASSED SHE MISSED HER PERIOD AND SHE IS GETTING BROWNISH DISCHARGE.WE ARE AFRAID TO DO HPT FOR SOMETIME CAN SHE BE PREGNANT
My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 6 monthes now. This month I had my period for only one day, could I be pregnant?
Hello everyone. I have not had a period since Oct. I think the first day of my last period was October 20, 2005. I am not exactly sure about that. I have not had a period since than and I have taken 3 HPT(home pregnancy test) and they all were negative. I believe I am pregnant but everyone is telling me that it could be hormones. I am not sure. I have never missed my period for this long. I may have missed one. But no more then that. Whenever I do miss a period I normally get it the next month. But not this time. I am so worried about being pregnant?
My question is that im 35 weeks and im having a lot of fluid coming out of me. I was just wondering if thats normal or what? my sis thinks i may be goin in2 preterm labor? is that true?
I'm 11 days past my IVF transfer and had a blood pregnancy test today. The nurse called to say it was a positive test but that my levels were only 10. What does this all mean? Am I pregnant or not? Will I have a miscarriage?
hi, I am 15 days past egg retrieval, and still a negative HPT. I am feeling very down, since I had 3 embryos transferred (because of advanced age) but maybe none 'took'?
Has anyone ever had a negative and then a BFP a few days later?? (I am now 12 days past transfer)
It was our one and probably only shot at IVF, since the UK cost is exorbitant!!
Any advice?
thanks

My period was 4 days late this month.I finally came on Feb.4th but it was brown, and it's barely on. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. What does this mean?
My period is not due for another 6 days and my breast have been sore for a week. I have been having some discharge and minor cramping for about 5 days. I my face has been breaking out like crazy. I know these can all be signs that you are pregnant. I think I am only a week and two days pregnant. But, all my test say negative is this normal?
I had my period 3 weeks ago and everything was fine.... then 2 weeks later i had it again, i was reading up on it and sites said to check for pregnancy first? is that true... could i be pregnant... and when will i be able to find out?

I am 36. I had my tubes tied in 97' because I lived with a aunt and uncle who were hard on me. I have sinced married and I am very depressed because I want to give my husband a child. The problem is my tubes. I found places who will untie them but the cost is from $5k - $6k. (No financing). Does anyone know of a place that will finance this process? My husband has no children and I want to give him one or two.
Thanks

hey i have been trying to get pregnant for about 4 months and i found out a few days ago that i am pregnant. my back has been hurting really bad so could i be more that 2 weeks pregnant god i hope so
My fiance and I have unprotected sex.My last period was January 2,2006,which now makes it 2 months since I had one.I also have been bloated in the abdominal area and feeling nauseated.I went to the doctor Saturday and took an urine test but it came back negative.I was told to take a blood test to be sure.If that comes back negative what is possibly wrong with me.Today makes a year that I had a miscarriage.Help me please.
Could I be pregnant? I thought I started on March 8th,2006 and then on the 9th I stopped could I be pregnant? The last period I had was January 20,2006. But I don't have regular periods.I usually go without a period for about 2 to 3 Months. The last time me and my Boyfriend had sex was February 10th,2006. Could I be pregnant? I have already took two Home Pregnancy Tests and they were both negative.This has been first of the month of March since I took the HPT.Please let me know.
Thankyou,

i dont beieve in pregnancy test at all you guys because i've taken 3 of them which all came out to be negative but i strongly believe i am and i was wondering is there anothe way to find out if your pregnant
You can go and get a quanitive blood test from your doctor or the health department. THey are the most accurate at detecting even the smallest amount of HCG. Good Luck!
I was 20 days late and had taken 3 hpt and they all said negative so I went to the doc had a blood test and it was positve but the HCG was only at a 6 and they tell you anything 5 and under is negative they had me come back 48hours later and take another one and it was 16 they say in needs to dubble every 48hours but 72hours after that I miscarriged. I had been trying to get pregnant for a year, is there anything that you can do to keep from miscarring?
hey there i have recently misscarried on the 27th or march 06 i have not passed anythink that looks like a fetus just strat blood, i was 12 weeks and the scan showd no heart beat and was told it was died i have bleed 9 days now and still no clot can anyone help me

Hello, I have a 26-28 day cycle in between periods. The last few months I've had 26 days. Then last month it was 28. I missed my period on the 28th day and yesterday. Then last night I had very light pink spots when I wiped myself. I tried again a few hours later and nothing. Then I went to bed and woke up in the morning and it's still light. My husband and I went to take a urine test at the hospital and the test result came out as "very low positive"..what are my chancs of pregnancy? We have been trying since October of 2005. We are a young couple, my husband is 25 and I am 21. I am not bleeding as such. My periods are usually heavy, but this time it's very light pink and hardly enough to even use a pad or tampon. Could you please help me out and tell me what my chances are of pregnancy?
