Hey ladies, as you all may know my situation, well, all of last week I keot getting super faint lines on internet cheapie tests that I have been using for months, and I have never had a whiff of a line before. Anyway, it wasnt just me who =could see it, at least three others could too- and my period was 4 days late, and when it did come, it ponly lasted 2 days, and was pretty light. I also had stabbing pains in mybbs, and kinda teeny tiny thread veins in the front underneath of my bbs, all of this I ignored, and thought only maybe. Anyway, I did 2 CB digis (Just remembered tho, that it was afternoon pee) and they were both negative!!!.

Anyway, to help decide, and find out for definite, I thought I would go to the docs on wednesday- I work with x rays and chemo, so I thought if I was, it was better to find out early. My regualr doctor was on holiday, so I had to do with another one who has been there since october. Anyway, I go in, she asks me what she can do, and I start to explain about the faint pg tests- I can tell by the look on her face that she is bored already and cant wait to just stamp on my ideas. When I finished telling her about the tests she said 'well I am not familiar with those tests, but I am sure you are not pregnant' So I said 'ok' she went on to say that there is no such thing as faint lines on a pg test, basically if you are pregnant it is like 'woaw' the line is sooo obvious!!! She also said the my periods could have been messed up cos I was thinking about it- which I will accept to an extent, but they only lasted 2 days of red FFS!! whats that all about? Anyway, I was so annoyed that I didnt even tell her any of my other symptoms, I just picked up my bag and said thx very much and went out- she didnt even offer me a test there!!

I dont think she knows that I work in a hospital really, but I was pretty annoyed- she also said not to test every few days, leave it like a week or even two between testing!!! I was going to say something about the danger of my work when she said that, but I thought 'why bother'. So that was my experience at the doctors yesterday!! Has anyone had experience of faint lines, or doctors being like this, and going on to prove them wrong? I have just read a thred of someone who didnt get her BFP till 26 days late!! I dread to think what my doc would have been saying to her!! She really has made me feel absolutely crazy, I thought I was trying to ignore the symptoms etc, but I felt you couldnt argue with the tests, dunno what to think now. Have started charting in order to track what is going on. Sorry its a long one- Candice

aw hun thats pants,she doesnt sound like a very good doc, frustrating isnt it because they look at you like you are crazy!
just see how you are feeling,keep a watch on yourself

Hey Candice, That's crap!!
I think if i were in your position i would go and see someone else. Do you have any drop-in centres nearby? Is there one at the hospital you work at? I ask as i had a problem a year or so ago (nothing to do with pg, another medical problem) and my G.P was absolutely rubbish and basically just sent me away saying nothing was wrong. You know when something is majorly wrong though don't you? I went to a drop-in centre and saw a nurse there, who then brought a GP in to see me (all within 10 mins of getting there) and a specialist saw me later that same day and by the evening i was on emergency treatment....
Some G.P.'s are just rubbish and you have to push and fight for what you need! Go with your gut instinct and if you are worried that your job might affect pg, then i would definitely go and see someone else.
Hope this helps hun

I am so annoyed when I hear these stories, some drs are just so lazes fair about something that is so crucial and important! The UK medical establishment's attitude to anything to do with maternity sucks big time.

If I were you hon, I'd see your normal dr when they get back and in the meantime, keep testing. My AF lasted 1 and a bit days this week and I still have sore bbs so part of me was wondering - but looked it up on net and apparently, if your AF includes clots and dark red blood, there's hardly any chance you could be PG. But if no clots at all and just a bit of pink, then could be a chance. x
