Hello ladies!! I am the ClearBlueFairy, and I have been sent to watch over all you wonderful, gorgeous ladies!!
When you feel the urge to test before AF is due, count to ten and step away from the ClearBlue !! Have a warm cuppa and daydream about Sawyer from Lost (or someone you find attractive!) and take your mind off it!! Or why not come on to MN and I will sprinkle you with some common sense dust

A very wise woman once wrote - "Remember ladies that the percentages of those who get their BFPs on set dpo are as follows:
10dpo=35%/11dpo=51%/12dpo=62%/13dpo=68%/14dpo=74%/15dpo=80%/16dpo=88%/17dpo=92% and there are some who have not got their BFP until 21dpo!!"
Armed with those percentages you should never want to test early and risk all that (perhaps)unnecessary disappointment!

I can't stand to see all those understandably downtrodden women after that dreaded BFN... and some of those wonderful ladies will go on to get their BFP and needn't have put themselves through all that angst and worry!!

Come on now, it's the festive time... save your money... When the FirstResponseDevil is calling out your name... Just say NO!!!

Fingers crossed for lots of BFPs really soon for you all!!!! But remember, The ClearBlueFairy is always watching * * * * * * * * * * * *

lissielou · 07/05/2007 16:52

lol, i seem to get bfps early too, but it has been known to cause unecessary heartache

Toothache · 07/05/2007 16:49

This won't help any of you.... but I got a BFP 9 days after I had sex!! And yes that was the one and only time I had sex that entire month!!!!

whistles innocently off thread

lissielou · 07/05/2007 16:47

have missed this thread, must keep it bumped!

MimieD · 04/05/2007 15:31

I shall not test till Monday...I shall not test till Monday...I shall not test till Monday

fifisworld · 04/05/2007 15:28

I done 4 tests before af was due...BFN.
Tested the day i was due BFP.
I know its so hard but DONT DO IT!!!!!!
Save yourself the money and the hurt of seeing a BFN when you could actually get your BFP is you just hang on a few days

scorpio1 · 04/05/2007 14:01

do not test early-any of you!!

elsieanjoanne · 04/05/2007 13:54

PS. It seems it's not only the FirstResponseDevil that you need to be weary of... there is a clearbluedevil doing the rounds... do not listen to her... she's just after your money and the fame!!

WELL!!!!!!!!!! It seems that it might be a good idea to bump this thread!! Ready has not been doing her job, again. I think she's too nice to tell you all off!!

To recap:

A very wise woman (MrsMcJnr) once posted - "Remember ladies that the percentages of those who get their BFPs on set dpo are as follows:
10dpo=35%/11dpo=51%/12dpo=62%/13dpo=68%/14dpo=74%/15dpo=80%/16dpo=88%/17dpo=92% and there are some who have not got their BFP until 21dpo!!"
Armed with those percentages you should never want to test early and risk all that (perhaps)unnecessary disappointment!

I can't stand to see all those understandably downtrodden women after that dreaded BFN... and some of those wonderful ladies will go on to get a BFP a few days later and needn't have put themselves through all that angst and worry!!

Come on now... save your money... When the FirstResponseDevil is calling out your name... Just say NO!!!

Fingers crossed for lots of BFPs (after AF is late!) really soon for you all!!!! But remember, The ClearBlueFairy is always watching * * * * * * * * * * * *
