Am I testing too early...I know I am, but I'm feeling a bit miserable and could do with a kick up the bum...

Ok, af due either Friday or Sunday, last few cycles have been between 28 and 31 days. Tested this afternoon with a first response and got a BFN...have I still got hope, or am I kidding myself on here...

A big virtual hug for you rather than a kick up the bum
Do you mean you are due AF this weekend coming? In which case you have definitely got a hope, First Response is only about 60% accurate that early (if that).

EsmeWeatherwax · 12/08/2008 14:51

Cheers JLO, I know all this...sigh, just wanting it to happen NOW! Am trying to hold off testing again til Friday at the earliest....

This is definitely the hardest bit, we can all understand what you're going through. I have to not keep any tests in my house otherwise I'd be testing every other day and it would cost me a fortune
Good luck

I'm on cd 28 and never had a cycle longer than 28 days so I'm holding out to friday too Esme... Keep in there, distract yourself with something.

OracleInaCoracle · 12/08/2008 17:45

do not test anymore, come and join us on the step away from the first response thread, will locate it for you, its too early to test now. wait until sunday. do you have any idea when you ovd?

OracleInaCoracle · 12/08/2008 17:46

here

EsmeWeatherwax · 13/08/2008 10:03

Headfairy, am distracting myself by not taking any tests into work, so I can't sneak off to the loo during the day. Have only one left at home anyway, so trying to save it for when it really matters...

HeadFairy · 13/08/2008 13:25

Oh good luck holding on. I haven't decided when I'm going to test. I'm on cd29 now but I've only had two periods since ds was born, they were 28 days apart (as my cycle was pre-ds) but someone else on here said that it's quite common for it to take a while for them to settle down. My only flicker of hope is that I'm peeing like a demon !

HeadFairy · 14/08/2008 18:01

oops, don't need to test now. Period started last night. Good luck with your 2ww! I hope you get a bfp!

EsmeWeatherwax · 14/08/2008 21:20

Awww, sorry to hear that Head fairy...next month awaits!

I'm still holding off, fully expecting af tomorrow, no symptoms at all!

OP posts:

HeadFairy · 16/08/2008 19:06

How's it going esme? any sign?

EsmeWeatherwax · 17/08/2008 21:25

Hi headfairy, no sign of af yet, but I've suddenly become iron willed, i.e. run out of tests, so I'm not testing again until Tuesday. I've got the freebie clearview one mind you. But I will be strong!

OP posts:

HeadFairy · 18/08/2008 08:38

No news is good news, Good luck for tomorrow, please let me know either way x

EsmeWeatherwax · 18/08/2008 13:25

Hi headfairy, was going to leave it til tomorrow again, but just couldn't! And its a BFP! I didn't use the digital, and its quite faint...but I guess a line's a line!

OP posts:

beanieb · 18/08/2008 13:35

OH - Congratulations!

EsmeWeatherwax · 18/08/2008 13:43

Thank you!

clairey80 · 18/08/2008 15:22

hey, newbie here!!

hubby and i have just started trying, have no idea when to test, we actually started without contraception about 10 days ago so any ideas?? period due in about a week, kind of feeling faint period pains........so new to this i have no idea!!

OracleInaCoracle · 18/08/2008 15:24

clairey, put off testing as long as possible. at least until your period is due. welcome to mn and good luck!

clairey80 · 18/08/2008 15:29

thank you, i'll wait..........hard though!! its not too likely it'll happen in the first month anyway is it????

OracleInaCoracle · 18/08/2008 15:33

its as likely to happen in the first as any other have a browse around the conception board and get stuck in, there are loads of us in the same boat!

clairey80 · 18/08/2008 15:37

will do, thanks!!

EsmeWeatherwax · 18/08/2008 16:20

Clairey, Its happened for me in the first month twice, so you never know. I'd definitely wait until the first day your period is due, if not later, I've been getting negatives until today, which is the day after period was due.

HeadFairy · 20/08/2008 20:13

aw thanks... but shhhhh! I'm not really supposed to be trying. DH isn't too keen on the idea of another one. I'm very naughty
