I so wish I was at the testing stage! But I really mustn't wish the time away!

gilly have you had any symptoms?

Thanks ladies Smile

Sent the pic to my best friend in Canada (she's the only person I would tell stuff like this in real life!) and she's like "OMG you're pregnant! Congrats! So excited!"

Lol Grin

Had to tell her to calm down and wait.. Because I genuinely don't think this is real and I think the "line" is not really a line.

I don't know.

Anyway I'm stocked up on tests now so I'll know soon enough!

Ahhh, exciting gilly, will be stalking this bus to see your bfp, everything crossed for you.

impatientlywaiting · 21/08/2013 13:45

LittleMissPear you aren't out until AF arrives so try and stay positive. Maybe you ovulated late this month?

Gilly once you move to the antenatal thread we will be lost! Who who will keep the bus list updated?

LittleMissPear · 21/08/2013 13:35

What a good day for BFP's today! Congrats to all.
Unfortunately I got a BFN this morning Sad. I was really hopeful as I had what I thought was implantation bleeding on Sunday evening. AF is has still not arrived though - am I still in with a chance even though I am 14dpo with a BFN? I used a superdrug test which I thought you could use super early?

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 13:29

Yes, statistically we all are, I guess. Thanks for your help so far :)

JellyBeanDavey · 21/08/2013 13:26

I think your more likely to be ovulating then not though.

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 13:24

Okay. Oh no, I really didn't know that, I just assumed I'd be ovulating.

JellyBeanDavey · 21/08/2013 13:20

I'm afraid not, but don't get down about it. Just stay relax bcos your body is very sensitive to stress. Best to be calm and not get worked up

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 13:15

So there's no way of knowing if I have actually ovulated :(

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 13:14

Yeah, that would be right, just a bit of a long cycle. But it's my first off the pill so anything could happen, ha ha!

JellyBeanDavey · 21/08/2013 13:13

I say ovulate, it's usually down to the LH surge bcos some people get anovulation cycles.

lj123 · 21/08/2013 13:12

AF arrived a day early, I'm outHmm good luck peeps. X

JellyBeanDavey · 21/08/2013 13:11

Well generally, if you ovulate, 14days later or so AF will show up. That's for most cycles.

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 13:07

That's a 32 day cycle! Right, I wanted to test before I go back to work on the 3rd so I don't have it hanging over me so I'm gonna aim to wait until the 31st, I think.

JellyBeanDavey · 21/08/2013 13:04

Also 9po would be the 28th for you :)

JellyBeanDavey · 21/08/2013 13:02

How I work it out is the last day I was to get +opk, I tested 2 weeks later. But as we all know, we can never wait.

So 9-12days after is when implantation takes place (that's when you are more likely to get pregnancy symptoms too) you can test then. But it's alway good to wait until the 12th day. Your due date for AF would be the 3rd (my anniversary Smile)

jaykay987 · 21/08/2013 12:58

This is the most exciting day on a bus I have ever had (and Im on the bus behind Grin)

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 12:55

I see. Can anyone help me to work out when I can poas then?
Today - cd20
Positive opks - cd17, 18, 19

Does that mean I ov yesterday?

OrangeMochaFrappucino · 21/08/2013 12:54

FRER can be used six days before af is due - that's when I got my first bfp but it was faint and came up after the time limit so not reliable. 48hours later it came up clear and within the right time. The line was MUCH more distinct on that than on an ic.

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 12:43

Ooh, I may get a Superdrug one to use for my first hpt session next week!!

gillywillywoo · 21/08/2013 12:41

The superdrug ones can be used too. Apparently they're quite good Smile

So I'll use the superdrug ones first and if I see a faint line again I will try a FRER!!!
Reason I don't want to use the FRERs first is because they are more expensive!!

I get a positive on a FRER, I'll get a clearblue digi.. LOL Grin

Haha working my way through all the brands! Grin

Anyway still don't want to get too excited. I'm really starting to think its just an evap line or something. I don't feel like this is my month! Not sure why. Hmmm. Time will tell!

JellyBeanDavey · 21/08/2013 12:38

Haha gilly, I was thinking 3 + 3 doesn't equally 4! BABY BRAIN Wink

It would be awesome for you to get a bfp! But it would be a shame to lose you to the antenatal bus, I think we all agree!

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 12:35

Ah right, so the Superdrug ones can't be used before af is due? Sorry for the questions...

gillywillywoo · 21/08/2013 12:28

Umm I think you can use them as early as 4 days before your period is due Smile
