Pregnancy Info HOME

Statistically, 10% of all pregnancies end in early miscarriage, the mother never even knowing. This would account for a late period with a negative HPT. It happened to me back in April, BUT BECAUSE I HAD BEEN TRACKING MY TEMPERATURE, I knew I had the miscarriage. I did a 4-day early HPT 2 days before my expected period. It was positive, but very faint. I did one every 12 hours after that, for a total of 5 tests, each one becoming fainter. The day my period was due was the 5th VERY faint positive HPT. I went that afternoon for a blood test, which was negative. BUT once my doctor looked at my temperature chart, he believed me over the hospital blood test because my temperature remained elevated - a sign of pregnancy. For those of you who are trying so hard to get pregnant, let me recommend a book which will help you get pregnant. It is called "Your Fertility Signals" by Merryl Winstein. It will explain to you how to track your mucus, temperature, and even uterine position to maximize your chances of conceiving. You will be able to throw away those HPT's because (from page 35) "If there is no menstruation 17 days after obvious fertile mucus ends, you are probably pregnant. A continuously high basal temperature for 17 days after obvious mucus ends confirms pregnancy, unless you are ill and have a fever". GOOD LUCK TO ALL !!!
