AF is officially a week late (7 days). DF got me a few dollar store tests and all 3 came back with very, very faint positives. My boobs aren't sore and I've had a very light colored brown mucous. I don't know what's going on or what to think.
I'm sobbing, scared & shaking. 
*Update*
I picked up a FRER an hour ago and it's a faint positive. I'm concerned that the lines are so faint. I would post pics, but I'm too frazzled at the moment. I am so worried, ladies.
*Second update 3/5/11*
I just got back from the ER. Blood work came back positive, I'm 4 weeks and the nurse said that the line on my urine test was weak. My hCG is 15.4, which the doctor says is okay for how far along I am. and the ultrasound didn't show anything conclusive other than a corpus luteum on my left ovary. The doctor is calling it a threatened miscarriage and I'm going to follow up with another quant in two days. My cervix is closed and there is no bleeding, other than a little tan discharge. Praying that it was just a late implantation.

This sounds promising but I don't trust the dollar store tests. Go get an answer or even a digi at this point and I have a feeling you will have success!

I agree with Missy I would get a FRER or DIGI and know for sure. Brown mucous is old blood and if pregnant probably just from implantation. Good luck I hope this is your sticky bean.

I would call the doctor and see if they can get you in for betas. Or if nothing else go to the ER and get them and then Monday call the doctor and get your second one. I hope this is it for you

I was going betas and POAS this time and the $store tests didnt get dark til hcg was over 1800!
My FRERS started to get nice and dark when I was over 300.
As for the brown spotting sounds like it could be implantation bleeding.
Hope this is it for you!

Yeah, brown is old blood, so implantation bleeding would make sense And it's totally normal to not have symptoms this early! I didn't have symptoms with Drew until something like 11 weeks. Are you going to go in for beta's or anything?

You are totally lucky, with all my pregnancies I was sick right away up until about 15 weeks. My youngest was an ooopse and I still knew I was pregnant before AF was due because I was so sick. My husband was like "you are not pregnant" (back then hpt's were not that popular) so I went to the doctor the next day and sure enough with a blood test I was less than 4 weeks pregnant.
yellowbird - congrats on your bfp! Do you have an ER you can go to so you can get checked out? I said a prayer for you.

Congrats on your BFP! Can you call your doctor and get some blood draws to ease your mind?

Update above. Sorry to just blurt out a BFP announcement after a few weeks of not posting, but I'm scared and this is the only place I feel safe talking about this. Your support means the world to me.

No need to apologize, that's what we are here for. 15 does sound a little low, BUT what really matters is the doubling time. Are you getting your betas drawn from the same lab that did them today? If not, then you need to start all over again because results can vary from lab to lab.
Hoping for a sticky bean for you!

Awe I'm glad to see you back with GOOD news, but I hope that there's nothing bad to come from the discharge it honestly sounds like implantation bleeding to me. Hope that is all it is

Thanks, dear. I'm concerned about the low number and the discharge. I feel like something bad is going to happen any minute now.
