The bangs turn into bfp's on the November bus! That's firework bangs you filthy lot...

Babymama!!!! X-posts!! Haha!!

Ahhhh elcranko me too!!!!

Ok so I just went back to my IC that I did at like 6am, and there's a faint line now.

Trying not to get excited as it didn't show earlier. I'm new to this, so looking for some expert advice?? Think I'll leave it and test again Friday as planned. Wow, not gonna be able to concentrate on anything for the next few days!!!

OMG

I left my used test in the bathroom and just came back to it - I SWEAR there's a faint second line on it now!

The packet says that results obtained after 10mins should be considered invalid so should I just ignore it? Does anyone know if IC tests are notorious for evap lines?

Trying not to get my hopes up here!!

Lucy I really feel for you, hope af comes soon xx

Elctanko, sorry to hear that but it's not over yet, fx for you.

We dtd last night and dp said it would be nice if you played hard to get sometimes!!! Haha no chance this week

Thanks mama. I'm currently squinting at the test like a loon trying to spot a faint line. There really isn't one though!! Going to hold off testing for a day or two now I think.

Awh Lucy how annoying for you!

Sorry elcranko, hope af stays away!!!!

Sorry to hear about the BFNs ladies, really hope it's still too early and that the next few days bring lots of BFPs.

Bfn here too. I am 10dpo (I think!). I'm feeling really bloated today - usually I wake up with a much flatter stomach (but not actually flat though, by any means!!) but today it's sticking out and feels heavy. I usually feel this way when AF is due I'm CD24 today, I had put 20th Nov as AF due date as that's the maximum date I think it would arrive, 32 days has been my longest cycle this year. However my last couple have been 31, 30, 28 days so I'm getting the feeling that I'm having a shorter cycle this month and that AF will be here in the next couple of days.

Sorry for all the BFNs this morning ladies...stay positive...its not over until the witch arrives

I tried dtd last night to kickstart my AF and nothing grrrrr!!!

Spinning, yes get the pineapple ;) sounds like you have a busy week ahead ;) so much better than the 2ww anyway!!!

7dpo, no hpt purchased! Result!!! :)

That's hcg levels!!!! Got such a bad headache this morning

Morning ladies

Sorry for the bfn's this morning but hang in there, it's not over to af arrives and everyone's htp levels are different so it can take a while to show up.

I think I'm due to ov any day now so I'm going to leave the grapefruit juice till next month as too late now......I will be buying a pineapple though

Awh sorry lepetit! Still not over just yet though until af shows up! How many dpo are you??

So a BFN for me this morning but still no sign of AF, all a bit confusing. And rubbish for all us ladies.

I am increasingly beginning to think I my have been preggers last month but was a near miss... AF arrived bang on time but was really clotted and watery (sorry tmi!) and that has confused things for this month...

Hey ho, back to the humping, as my oh says. And grapefruit juice shall be purchased!

Dinky. Urh. Yes I guess it should show? But still our bodies are all different. Hang in there and let's hope the other tests show something better. Fx still for you x

Howley I second dinkys suggestion. One step from eBay or amazon are cheap. Pee on them and keep them if you need to see if they are getting darker. Mama and m33r buy diggies too and when they think they've got a dark line they crack open a diggie to confirm it with a nice smiley face! That way they only use a couple of expensive opk a month. I think with the ic opk you need to pee on them twice a day to catch your surge. But do correct me if I'm wrong ladies!!

Howly, 8dpo is very early and the CB non-digis aren't the best for early testing. If you do end up with a BFN, get one step tests from amazon. So cheap!

Sazzle - superdrug, so 10miu/ml so you'd think it'd be obvious by now. It takes about a minute or so for it to go pink, then it "dries" clear. I've ordered some more one steps, they should come today.

Why is this so frustrating? just sitting, waiting and stressing! I tested 8dpo (I think!) but got bfn on a cb hpt (not digital) but it could have been too early, AF due tomorrow but no signs yet! Keep imagining that my boobs are bigger but I think it's just wishful thinking!

My cycles are irregular so finding it hard to work out when I ovulate, I am using an app at the moment and have been for a few months so it works it all out in averages I think!

I will test again in a week or so if AF doesn't arrive (
if I can wait that long) but if I get bfn can someone recommend what is the cheapest opk to work out my ovulation/ fertility? I don't want to spend hundreds but the control freak in me needs to know what my body is doing!

Sorry babymama but yes you could be too early. Hope your gp apt is ok on fri.

Dinky. That is odd. What test are you using? Do you have a different brand to compare? You're not out til AF shows, but I feel for you, that limbo is horrid x

14dpo and the test did the same thing again, went pink and then went clear. Still no sign of AF, now three days late. Gah. Today is going to be a loooooong day.

Well bfn here, but only 9dpo so not too upset. Don't think this is our month but will test again on Friday before GP appointment.

Good luck to everyone testing this morning x

Congrats to your DH on his new job VJ!

LePetit I too have my pee cup and IC waiting in the bathroom for in the morning!

Dinky I love your 14 day bfn rule! I will remind myself of it when I'm no doubt posting about my 10dpo bfn tomorrow!

Ha, love that there is a grapefruit juice shortage - visions of all us ttc ladies stockpiling the stuff!

VJ - congrats on the new job, v exciting. And... Definitely scope to test again in a few days time.

Tww is rubbish, I have been busy these past two so not really had chance to symptom spot like an obsessive and that has been good.

Stick located for first thing in the morning peeing, officially a whole day late now. A real unknown, usually poas a few days before in eager beager fashion.

Fx for us all :)

Well, there is some truth in that, dinky!
