I'm a regular in conception - kind of hoping old friends will come and hair stroke me. DH and I have been ttc for 22 months. DH has high prolactin levels which makes his sperm count low. Until we see a specialist next month we've been not trying but not, not trying iykwim.
My cycle is variable but typically 25-27 days. Today is cd29. I haven't had a 28 day cycle for over a year. Internet cheapies say bfn. Must assume it's only a matter of time before the witch comes. But I feel like crap. Anyone willing to sit and wait with me?

Ok ok I've just bought more tests. Yes I sneakily checked FF and none of the photos of evaporation lines looked like mine. It was about half an hour though!

I have to confess I have nothing better to do Grin.

I'm pretty convinced that's not an evap line. How long had you left the test before you went back?

Aren't FR pink dye? I like that as it is much easier to rule out an evap as it's a different colour and I'm simple.

Probably a good job that you have plenty to keep you busy - I'd have gnawed away down to my knuckles!

Blimey you're all posting, I'm running round like a mad thing doing work!! Good job there's only one of me.
Today I have had minimal spotting, increased thirst - drunk 2 litres water and 3 cuppa teas and stil thirsty.
Am very worried it was an evap line and I'll look like a t**t tomorrow.
It's not willpower it's lack of access!

You are putting my willpower to shame! I would have done another couple of tests by now! C'mon tomorrow morning already! :)

farfallarocks · 02/11/2011 14:30

have this is just so exciting!!

I have that brand of internet cheapie test and they are not very sensitive at all.
The FR will give you an answer clearly if the cheapies are

BeeBread · 02/11/2011 13:33

How on earth are you not testing? You must have willpower of steel.

TheLittleFriend · 02/11/2011 12:47

There's definitely something on that pic. Good luck for test #2

Northey · 02/11/2011 12:15

jandanaligazan · 02/11/2011 12:00

How about this for a bit of distraction? All about conception in the Amazon rainforests and sounds refreshingly different!

Have hope your managing to get some work done today Wink

Thanks for admiring my new name everyone! Btw also love your name Carrie although it took me a minute to get it Blush does anyone else frequently read names as a whole sometimes & miss the meaning?! am feeling a bit stupid now

CarrieInAnotherBabi · 02/11/2011 11:44

good idea to wait till the am,think you'll feel more convinced of the result then, even though i really want you to do it today!!!!

that line is stronger than the first line i had.

thanks for noticing my name change Smile

andthisisme · 02/11/2011 11:22

I can't leave work pone!! If I'm updiffed, I'm updiffed whether I test at lunchtime, after work or next month! Grin I woudl rather get a definite bfp with the FR in the morning if can I wait then an inconclusive bfn tonight, especially given how faint that line is.
Loving Carrie and cupcakes name changes :)

faith I binned my first amazon cheapie because with my previous pregnancy there'd been a line as thick as my finger. The second day I used the cheapie I realised there was a line, fished out the other one and um... yes, line there too.

GO TO THE FUCKING SHOPS AND BUY ONE!

possiblemaybebaby · 02/11/2011 10:15

Loving the name change Cupcake Smile

I think I see a line too Have I am going to be checking back all the time for an update Grin
