To be PG or not to be...

Okay, I'm going absolutely crazy, and I just need some of your thoughts. I really don't want to convince myself that I'm pregnant if I'm not. But, here's whats been going on this month: very sore breasts, a DH who has "the feeling" that I'm PG for the first time, and light spotting/cramping on days 20, 23, 25, 26, and 27 (this is not normal for my cycle). Today is CD 27, and I should have gotten my period yesterday. I am so confused over this that I took a test on day 22 (BFN), day 24 (BFN), and again today- and I got a VERY, VERY faint line. I swear I tried to protect myself from hoping, but at this point, I am SO vulnerable to a big let down. HELP!!

it is possible for implantion to have happend during one of those days but from what I have read implantion bleeding is brown and usually last a very short time. I too was due for af 2 days ago and got a faint line today but I am holding off for my blood test on tuesday.... I dont want the same thing that happend last mo to happen again "chemical pregnancy"... I would suggest taking another test in a few days and see if it gets darker. Also try to relax. I think AF might be a little late because I want this so bad right now. good luck and i hope you get your bfp soon.

I've has similar symptomns. It can be so confusing because of the side effects of the drugs. Try to hold off on another test. It can be so heart-breaking when neg. If you are pregnant, then you are even without taking the test. Best wishes

on my first round of clomid I had some spotting and alittle cramping around the time that I should have had a monthly....but it never came..I was so excited I thought "I cant believe it worked on the first round" well two weeks after I should have started I took a home test just to be let down with a negative...so take your time, dont let yourself get worked up and try to think if it doesnt happen this time then maybe next time...I know its easier said then done, but you dont want to get your hopes up just to be let down. But good luck and I hope you get BFP sooner than later!

Thanks for your responses. Here's the catch- I am not yet on any meds. I am supposed to start treatment during the next cycle. So this cycle was natural, and my cycles are usually very similar. I tried another test this morning and got the same faint line. I just wish it were clear (either BFN or BFP).

God I hope you are! I've read so many "faint line" stories and they always seem to mean BFP! Good Luck!

faint lines are often dark lines in a day or a few days more. goodluck.

I would test again in a day or two. The hormone that HPT's detect is higher in some women than others. Some women have a lower level of this and only a blood test can tell for sure at first for those.
I hope you get good news.
Lots of luck. Wouldn't it be funny (and wonderful) if you got PG the month before you were scheduled to start treatment??

When I took a HPT, I got a very faint line as well, and I was pregnant! I hope your dreams come true this week! Good luck!!

I broke down and took a Clearblue test last night. It said PREGNANT! I took a blood test today, but things are looking good. I have so many symptoms that it's hard to ignore them. Thanks for all of your help and support. I will post a discussion tomorrow after I get the blood test results. Yay!

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
