I thought I'd start a thread for all those who will be starting out TTC this month, I'd be interested to see how other people get on, tips, moral support etc. We'll be starting TTC at the weekend!!
Please join me!

I've attached a photo of my test I did when I was of with DS :) it's an asda 2 for £3.50 I got this most faintest line EVER!! This was at CD32 no idea about DPO as I was on pill lol
But I dunno if u guys can see it.
I'm just trying to give myself hope! Lol!

Sounds like that one Carmen used. Haven't heard of a 5ml one!!

Rainbow I have kept all of mine to see how they have changed over the days (and to show midwife how mental I am) I think you only disregard if it's negative because of Evap lines (I think) none of mine have changes over the past few days. I even have the first one stuck to my make up table mirror because i think I'm nuts to have studied it enough to see that line.

Can you take a pic on your phone and keep it til DH gets back? And see what he says, although personally I think men can't see the lines! Ha! Wink

What is the most sensitive test out there? I'm 11 dpo, AF due Friday but I'm desperate to test!!!

looking4rainbow · 22/04/2014 14:42

That's how I feel like I'm the only one who would be able to see it. The asda one also says to disregard results after 15mins so can't show dh as he's at work. I will test again in the morning. Thanks for the good luck

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 14:34

Well the asda ones are 15 so there is more sensitive ones.

But honestly my first one was mental I was the only person who could see it and it was the faintest ever line in the whole world lol. Then it got darker the next day, lighter the day after and now it's a very strong positive!

Good luck!! Really hope it is a BFP for you Smile

looking4rainbow · 22/04/2014 14:27

Thanks Ducky just feeling so stressed don't want to believe it and then be let down. Think I've got line eyes!

Tempted to go and get a different brand but don't want to see a bfn!

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 14:17

That's ace rainbow!!!!

That's how my BFP started off!! No one else could see it apart from me and they thought I was going nuts until I did a first response one and the faint line came up on that!!

Keep us updated!!!! Grin

And the first thing I wanted was a wine! I managed to restrain myself though! Smile

looking4rainbow · 22/04/2014 14:02

Hey guys just poas. Think I'm imagining the very faintest of lines. I'm only 11dpo Don't want to show my dh as he thinks I'm already obsessed ( which is true) it was an asda 3.50 for 2 so think they are 15hcg. It's so hard to have hope think I'm going crazy. Feel tearful that I want a sticky bean so much I can't trust my own judgement. Guess I will test again in the morning. All I want now is a drink, I know not wise. Sorry for the all about me message.

elcarmen2010 · 22/04/2014 13:42

It was "Viola" I've never heard of it before?? It does say you should use FU of the day to be sure and I did it this afternoon. I have some ER tests which I'll do in a few days I think. Just to be sure....may as well use them up!
We're in the same boat then cupcake! It's not much fun hey!
Xx

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 13:35

What test was that Carmen? 11dpo is still early tho!

Cupcake92 · 22/04/2014 13:32

Carman I'm 12 DPO n got a bfn too :/
If AF hasn't shown by the weekend I'll test again but I have a feeling I'm out too

elcarmen2010 · 22/04/2014 13:27

I also cracked and POAS again. It was an apparent super sensitive one that can pick up HCG levels of 5???? Anyway it was a BFN and I've lost hope now as I'm 11dpo and the test was extra sensitive. I guess I'll wait for AF and try again next month. I'll be a woman on a mission!!!!
Keeping my fingers crossed for you all.
Congratulations Ducky on your BFP :-) Xx

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 12:16

Ali, I know the feeling, last time I was pregnant DH and me argued more than ever and some nights I used to go to bed in tears thinking what have I doneee! I think it's something about TTC/pregnancy that makes men go insane. Luckily me and DH haven't really argued much yet but I suppose I'm only a few weeks!

BearsInMotion · 22/04/2014 12:06

Hi ali, obviously don't know you but do you think he is panicking about the reality of a baby? DP and I definItely argued more when I was pg than ever before, just increased tensions on both sides?

alizeeod · 22/04/2014 11:54

I'm having a major crisis, my DP and I have just argued all weekend and he's been mean and acting so immature and I'm starting to wonder whether it was a good idea to TTC in the first place. I was so aggravated that I wanted to leave him and I'm still considering it now. I've known him for 10 years by the way, this isn't a "fling", but my god, what if this was the worst decision ever and I get a bfp? Has anyone ever questioned EVERYTHING? In tears and panicking, feeling so irresponsible

BearsInMotion · 22/04/2014 11:47

I cracked and POAS again. Still BFN :(. That was first response too. Really Confused as AF is never late!

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 10:58

I was using that app cupcake but also used ov sticks, I got my surge on the ov sticks and we DTD then but I noticed ewcm a few days after ov which confused me :-/

Thank you for the congrats Grin

That's great Ducky!!
Well I tracked ov on FF but then a week later I got ewcm for 2 days so presumed I ov then instead so dtd on ov day and day after.
I must have ov on CD 14

kitkatkaty87 · 22/04/2014 10:25

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 10:23

From the research I looked at it looks like they are :-)

BearsInMotion · 22/04/2014 10:11

So first response are much more sensitive than clear blue?

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 10:10

I know they're sneaky!!

I just got mine from asda, I did get some 'first response' of e bay too but I think tey were fake, if that's possible! They were a different style to the normal first response and weren't anywhere near as sensitive

I know I wish I could send them to you lot!!

I stuck mainly with first response cheesecake cus they were the ones I knew were 10, I was looking the other day and noticed the others don't say how sensitive they are on the box. But 10 is better than 25 as more sensitive Smile
