Am I Pregnant?
Hi there, I am new to this site and this is a bit complicated so here goes ill explain as best as I can........
Firstly a brief history, I am a 29 year old mother of 4 children b6 b5 and twins g3 b3, so you would think I had a vague idea lol. I had a merina coil removed back in May 2009 this year after it was getting uncomfortable. My husband and I have been using the withdrawal method ever since as I dont want to go back on hormones and he wont have a vasectomy. I know its not the most reliable method, but I dont mind another baby anyway. Ever since the removal I settled down into my old 28 day cycle, bleeding for 5-6 days moderate to heavy.
Right the confusion started 2 months ago I was due on my period on the 25th Sept, but I came on 4 days early on the 21st, a bit unusual, but it only lasted 3 days, it was bright red and it was moderate but not too heavy. Then on the 26th of Sept, hubby and I had intercourse with a condom and after he came we realised it had broken! So I rinsed with a shower head, sorry tmi! I should have got the morning after pill, but it was the weekend and I didnt want to cause a fuss, thinking it was day 5 of my cycle so the chances of getting pg were low anyway, that evening I had a brown discharge just when I wiped, that was it.
My next period, based on a 28 day cycle from the last (early) period was 19th Oct, and lo and behold I started on the morning of that day, so I thought everything was back to normal. Id been having nausea, heartburn, sore boobs, (including one that leaked a tiny bit of milk) for a couple of days before this. My period only lasted a day and a half, bright red, but light, I only used 4 tampons!! So I finished my period on the 20th but was still feeling sicky etc, so I did a hpt and it was neg, I still felt sick, heartburn etc so on the 23rd Sept did a hpt which was neg, the same on the 27th Sept by this point surely I would have been 8 days late if id missed my period!?! Anyway yesterday I did a cheap test and I saw a very faint positive, and I mean faint, but definetly there! I worried it was an evap line, as it said the result would be there within 5 mins and this was approx 8 mins. So I rushed back upstairs and did another within the timeframe it said neg, and just after, a very faint line. I dont know the strength of the test it didnt say.
Im not sure what to think, was it just evap lines? I have ordered more hpt off ebay as they are cheaper, but they wont come till tomorrow. I thought hpt were reliable from the day of your period? Anyone else had a delay in a positive result? I would be on day 11 now? surely about to ovulate again, do have to point out im not having my stretchy white discharge that would be normal for a few days before ovulation? Oh I dont know am I just hoping too much xx

Hi i got the merina coil out four weeks ago and having sore breast and very tired . have a child already so know the symptoms . tests still coming up negative. is this just from getting the coil removed...please help..
Just an update, has some strechy cm this evening and pain in my abdo, so I think im ovulating and therefore cant be pg, but will let you know the test results if they come tomoz, thankyou 4 ur support x
Just take another test in a few days to a week. If you are pregnant, there will be more HCG in your urine by then for the test to pick up.
It usually takes at least 14 days after fertilization for a sensitive pregnancy test to reliably confirm a pregnant result. Sometimes even just a bit longer, so test again if you are unsure.
