Thank you Dr. Lynn, I really appreciate all your help. I took another
hpt last night and it was negative again. So I should assume I am not
right? I have just one more question.... Is there something wrong with
Ortho Cept? The Dr said that there was a lot of bad press around it, but
all unfounded. Thanks so much again. After reading all the archives I
was really worried, people saying they bled during pregnancy like a
normal period and having false hpts - I really didn't know what to
think. Needed reassurance.
