Have been TTCing for about a year, with no joy.

AF was due Sunday/Monday, nothing doing.
Very sore boobs and rubbish skin, which are usual PMT symptoms here.

Took a First response test this morning, and it looked negative after three minutes. I tidied myself up, and took it to the window of our very gloomy bathroom... and very faint positive line. So it was outside the 3 minute window but am pretty sure it showed within the 10 minute limit!!!

ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH.

Clearly the other key thing I need to do is book an eye test. And replace some light bulbs in the bathroom!

You're supposed to bring your own kippers if you're going to slap me with them!

I know I need to do another one, but I'm scared to! Especially reading harrassed's tale of going from unreliable BFP to BFN in three days. How are you still sane?

Surely if it was really faint and slow to show on first morning wee, it's going to be less likely to show up properly today, and so I have to wait till tomorrow... don't I?

Do another one and let us know!
Good luck.

So where are these kippers I was lured in with?!

I wouldn't have the restraint to wait a couple of days, but would it be outrageous to suggest a Clear Blue Digital? There would be no doubt over lines and times then. Maybe I deserve the kippers for encouraging testing...

Come back and let us know!

I did that on Saturday Dastardly!! I got a bfn on Monday which was cd28 for me, but still no af.

This is my first proper cycle after mmc & erpc, so god knows what's going on!

When I got my bfp I thought I was out as pmt and prg symptoms were the same - no flipping help at all.

That's what happened to me, and I'm up the duff! Grin Do another in a couple of days.

Gah. So reasonable. I shall ignore you all and waste my day away fantasy bankrupting myself at Isabella Oliver.

You know what the advice is going to be... try another test in the morning and the very best of luck to you!
