Well ladies, I've caved and DH is ordering me 40 IC tests from Amazon.

I PIAC this morning and even after ten minutes had no hint of a line. I can't keep ploughing through £3.99 tests! Starting to give up hope of getting an August BFP, blah.

Trying to stay positive for everyone else though!! There's still a week of August to go, sure we can get a few more BFPs yet! Grin

Just thought about the digi as it showed pregnant 1-2 with ds2 at 10dpo

wispaxmas · 23/08/2013 09:57

I'd wait until the 26th to wack out a digital if I were gilly, but then that's just me and I'm not getting faint lines like she is.

Everyone talking about their sore boobs makes me definitely think I'm not pregnant. Damn.

Tea1Sugar · 23/08/2013 09:53

Gilly I know they're pricey but if I were you I'd wack out a digi for a definitive answer!!

leezl · 23/08/2013 09:26

Another line Gilly!

m33r · 23/08/2013 09:15

I've had slight cramps on and off and one very vivid dream about being pregnant but like you nothing else... Think I'll give it go so I know if I have a drink I'm ok. Don't want to be disappointed again though ... Sounds daft I know!

Gilly, line getting darker I think.

jaykay987 · 23/08/2013 09:12

I see a line.

Hope you get good sleep.....I'll be logging in later for your "fmu" update!

flame40s · 23/08/2013 09:02

Definitely see a faint line Gilly. :)

Alyssa1978 · 23/08/2013 09:00

Definately a line there gilly, I've got a good feeling about this.
Maybe try a frer again or a cb digital as you never know.

Good luck
Xx

DisneyDiva87 · 23/08/2013 08:59

try again after you've had a sleep and see, that pee will have been more diluted

Do it Disney Smile

I see something but its been like that since 9dpo and I'm now 11dpo... Doesn't seem to be getting darker.

Could be evaps? But they're appearing generally within 5 mins. Sometimes up to 10 mins max. On different brands.

I've never had evaps before.. Never had anything that could even slightly resemble a line.

I definitely see a line Gilly.

I might POAS tomorrow just cause I'm going to a wedding but it's very early and I don't think I am pg cause I don't have sore boobs or anything I just had a couple of vivid dreams (I don't normally remember my dreams) and a possible 'tugging' sensation yesterday.

Right I'm going to bed finally but first here's this mornings test. Keep getting these faint FAINT lines and nothing more.
Appearing within 5 mins. This has happened on pound shop tests and superdrug ones. All the same.
Can you see it or has my nightshift warped my brain and vision?
Bathroom light not working so its a bit gloomy.

Disney. I think I'm going to poas tomorrow. Are you or are you waiting til Monday? Fx gilly.

ArmyLovin · 23/08/2013 08:34

I think af is gonna be early this month. Got awful cramps today but only on cd23..

DisneyDiva87 · 23/08/2013 08:30

Anyone else POAS'ed yet?

Bloumermaid · 23/08/2013 08:00

Morning all, and big congrats to Isean!

I only get to check this once or twice a day and there's always so much to catch up on - so excited for all those POAS and have my fingers crossed!

Still no AF (145-ish days since my last pill and no sign). BUT had my first strong line on an OPK yesterday so grabbing DH at every opportunity! Had EWCM last week but no OPK line and the opposite this week (no EWCM) - assume OPK is more likely to be a sign of OV?

Technically this means I should move onto the Sept bus as 14 days from today is 6 Sep...but might stay lurking so I can see how everyone does!

Lots of luck to everyone xx Smile

ImaginaryHat · 23/08/2013 07:51

Good luck for later gilly, and to v anyone else testing today!

Wow so much excitement on this bus! Congrats to everyone with their bfp Flowers

Gilly im keeping my fingers crossed for you, but sure it will be bfp Smile

Impatiently did you say you had a faint line too? Any update?

This 5 dpo for me today. Trying hard not to symptom spot but have had two very vivid strange dreams and got up early to wee this morning, do they count do you think?! Is it too early really?

Best get ready for work now ...

Nulanoo · 23/08/2013 07:38

I don't think I could handle night shifts at all! Enjoy your snoozing!x

DisneyDiva87 · 23/08/2013 07:32

I'm just getting ready for work gilly. We're working opposites! I'm exhausted. Did not sleep well at all last night and the dog had me out for a walk at midnight. I can't wait to finish work today and crawl back into bed for a nap

gilly hcp levels double every 48 hours so it can take that long for the line to get darker. If the line is coming up before the ten minutes, it's not an evaporation line. In June I had faint lines that didn't get much darker and I mc'd ten days after af had been due. This time, the line was faint (and late!) at 8dpo, actually fainter again at 9dpo and a bit stronger at 10dpo. Then not much different at 11dpo, much stronger at 12dpo. I might have my dpo wrong as it's based on guesswork. But it definitely took a few days for the lines to start getting strong. They now come up as dark as the control straight away and it's 4-5 days after when af was due. But it I'd say it takes 48 hours between tests to see a noticeable difference when testing early.

FX Gilly!
