Hi - I was hoping it was ok to come over from ttc section to u ladies at 1st Tri and ask a question.

Since Saturday I have had crampy pains then running to the loo and having loose stools (not quiet diarrhoea). At first I thought it was a bug - I work with children and a number of them have had tummy upsets and I cleaned up a few 'accidents' last week - as what happens with children!

I ate a little less - soup and toast and it seemed to fade alittle but this morning its back been to the loo twice since 8.30am - cramps then loose stools (sorry if TMI).

I am 4 /5 days late. Haven't had AF since 1st June and usually have 33 day cycle. Tested last Tues and got a faint line on Tesco test, been using internet cheapies each morning and not sure if it is faint line or just I can see the area where the wee goes through. V confused.

Haven't taken any medication like Imodium just in case I am preg but wanna feel better.

Could cramps & loose stools be due to changes in my hormone levels?
Glad to hear any advice
Thanks

If you are seeing even regular faint lines on a test then I'd say that that was a definate good sign!! Any chance of posting a pic of pos this mornings test?

Ya, if a line is there, no matter how faint, then it's a positive since the hormones are in your urine! Grats :P

The line gets much darker as your days go by. When I did mine it wasn't that faint but wasn't as dark as the normal line either. Now I do them and the lines match. Test in a few days you will see the difference.

I had loose stools before i got my BFP, and i got a faint line on a tesco test and then did a digi to confirm the next day! good luck!

I had the same thing as you...at the exact same point. Two to four days after AF was due, I was suffering from diarrhea too.

Sounds possible to me, usually you can only see the test line and no other line at all on the tests.
Give it a couple of days and test again.
As for the stools, just try to eat solid foods and drink plenty water to flush it out (nice, lol).

I used internet cheapies and was getting mega faint lines all day, so i got a frer and the line was more definate! 1 day before af was due I got my I had been testing every day since 6dpo too!

My advice, go buy a better test!

Fingers crossed this is your hun!

I'd go to the drs and get them to do a test especially as you're late. A faint line is still a line - hope you get a huge bfp!!!
