Still trying again sat as no sign of af yet an cramps have died down, anyone know what's the best/most sensitive brand? I usually buy asda or tescos own x

nearlymumofone · 20/10/2011 11:57

ilike try not to stress, I did 5 tests Blush when pg with ds I there was a mixed bag with some lines fainter than others, but in no particular order. And I didn't 'feel' pg either, not till I'd put on about 4 stone!!

BreeVanDerTramp · 20/10/2011 11:18

Ohh, can I join please? I am due tomorrow, already poas on Tuesday evening to get a BFN so sure this is not the month for me due to period pains looming. However I am still holding out some hope as poas 5 days early in the evening is akin to peeing on a tenner really isn't it?

Congratulations sleeves - the same thing happened to me with DS I tested the day I was due as I was going out that night and didn't want to drink incase I was pregnant, got a BFN went out and got sloshed then when I opened the bin the next day a BFP was staring back at me Blush

ilikeyoursleeves · 20/10/2011 10:59

Well done carrie on resisting the tests. I think I am going to retest at lunchtime cos I do not feel pg at all plus when I looked at the tests I'd done, the lines of the more recent ones were lighter than the older ones so I'm now stressing myself about a chemical pregnancy!

My ebay tests won't be here til the weekend so think I'll go out on my lunch break today & poas in tesco. Argh

Sorry to see your tests didn't go as planned carrie & amanda. how frustrating after your dreams carrie but you still have the weekend til your test date so hopefully it's just that you have tested early.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you all

Amanda29 · 19/10/2011 14:51

I've worked out it would have been from sept 27th - 30th the should have came on sat 15th oct? Last week I had what looked like ewcm tho so maybe ovulating very late? Its frustrating but at the same time we've not been making any 'extra' effort just having sex as normal and when I think I'm ovulating, it all started as a case of if it happens it happens but now if I'm honest I'm worrying why its not 'just happened' yet :/ to top it all a close friend told me last night she 'fell' pregnant whilst on the pill!! How do they do it lol! x

witchyhills · 19/10/2011 11:38

This is all so unfair and frustrating. Those dreams must have felt so real. Sad
I ordered some cheap tests off amazon
Pmt and pain seems to disappeared so feeling positive again.
Stupid

sounds good sleeves

well i did a test this am, at 6am because i needed a wee!

put it under my pillow as was too tired to wait 5-10 mins, then i had a dream that i woke up and it was bfp.
and i thought it was real and not a dream because in the dream, i woke up and took the test out from under the pillow, so i really thought it was real.

then when i actually did wake up it was a bfn.

still too early to test really so i'll do another on friday now.

amanada do you have any idea when you ovulated?

Well done all looking good!! Well after dreaming of a positive test I had to do one this morning and got a bfn :( now begs the question why my period has just vanished I'm usually very regular even though it varies from 28 - 35 days and saturday will be day 42 x

ilikeyoursleeves · 19/10/2011 07:46

I tested again at 5 am & got another faint line! I have now run out of tests but ordered some ebay ones to see if the line gets darker. Also have a blood test on monday so I'll hopefully find out the exact hcg levels then.

Have you tested yet carrie? Fingers crossed for you

ilikeyoursleeves · 18/10/2011 20:42

Carrie I have my fingers crossed for you testing tomorrow

oihh congrats Sleeves! That's got me thinking Sleeves... I tested 2 days before my last periond and got negative, I looked at it 4 days later (why do we keep them?!) And the window had darkend a little and there was a very faint line on the positive mark? I'd come on quite heavy by this point so didn't think anything of it... Oh dear :/ I'm still waiting tho!x

witchyhills · 18/10/2011 19:21

LookIng good Sleeves!! How exciting

ilikeyoursleeves · 18/10/2011 19:19

Omg! Omg! I couldn't resist & bought 2 more tests on the way home- I just did one & there is a really faint line but its def a line! Then I did another of the one I did last night & again there is a faint line that appeared after about 10 minutes so thats 3 tests now with faint lines, though the one from last night is more obvious since its evaporated.

I think I will do another one in the morning but omg I think the FET worked!

Eeeeeeeeeeek!

Good luck to everyone else testing soon!

Amanda29 · 18/10/2011 16:32

I'm doing it alone :) not sure why but just feel that's what best for me? But then I worry how I'll tell him?? Even tho its planned I think we'll both be shocked if its finally happened, I've done a few tests the last 6 months before I'm due and had a mix of disappointment and relief when its negative? Probably relieved because I got an answer and disappointed as it was bfn! x

likeyoursleeves, sounds good but test again tomorrow am,as teh tests often say disgregard any result after 10 mins, do one in the am.

i think im going to crack and go another tomorrow, if thats neg then do another on fri/sat

they are only very cheap ones

amanda, are you goign to do the test alone on sat or with your dp?

OP posts:
ilikeyoursleeves · 18/10/2011 13:34

Hi all, I'm at work so this is a quick one but arrrgghh I don't know what to think! This morning I dug yesterdays test out the bin only to see that there is now a line at the test bit, ie 2 lines! There def wasnt a line there last night! What do you think? Can a bfp line be delayed or do you think it's an evaporation line? its the same colour as the test line & noticeable & I dont need to squint our hold it up to the light to see it

Amanda29 · 18/10/2011 12:50

@carriedababi - its killing me waiting haha! I'm still convinced its a bfn as feel like af will arrive any minute the way the cramps are but shall wt and see!

Been trying since around March just tracking my cycles not temping yet, makes you wonder how so many woman just 'fall' pregnant when we're all trying so hard! First time for me and ny partner so its all new to us both.
