June Bus anyone?!

Hi all

I thought I'd start the June bus as I'm getting impatient!

I'm 31 (for a bit longer anyway), TTC#1. DH and I agreed to start TTC in May, but won't be ovulating till about the 24th. ETD 8th June! Feeling terrified and excited at the same time.

Join me if you will! Smile

How many DPO are you again? I'll check the results on countdowntopregnancy. Asda ones get 47% positive on 8DPO apparently, which is pretty good.

Writerwannabe83 · 01/06/2016 13:53

Tests are bought!!!!!

Now to decide whether to use my saved sample for an instant test or whether to wait 3-4 hours for another wee.....

BusyNothings · 01/06/2016 13:52

Bertiebotts my mum has all three from us and hides them in a box full of photos. I won't ever forget routing through it being scared of spiders and then realising there was much worse! Lol

Also question how soon after stopping contraception did you guys start to use OPKs? I haven't had a period in years so no idea what my cycle is.

BertieBotts · 01/06/2016 13:51

Hold your pee for 3-4 hours and try again?

Laura05 · 01/06/2016 13:49

Haha! bertiebotts you've just made my day! I can't stop laughing x

BertieBotts · 01/06/2016 13:47

I don't even know why I have kept it! I haven't kept anything else like teeth or cord stumps etc, just the test. Weird. I have moved country with it as well Confused I've just had it so long that I don't know what to do with it. Perhaps I'll present it to him on his 18th birthday, that might be a terrifying enough sight to stop him becoming a teenage dad??

Kn33 · 01/06/2016 13:40

No prizes for guessing how I found this out Grinhaha
First response tests are on buy one get one free in boots for anyone that is as impatient as me Wink lol

Laura05 · 01/06/2016 13:35

Wow writer go for it! You can't hold us in suspense!

Writerwannabe83 · 01/06/2016 13:34

I've just squeezed out a bit more wee and this test is completely blank. Maybe I imagined my squinter, or maybe I should have let some www build up again first before testing again?

I'm just off to ASDA now to get something for dinner and I don't know if I will be able to resist the urge to buy a FRER....

Are they more sensitive than IC?

babydances · 01/06/2016 13:31

Hahahaha this thread always makes me smile. bertiebotts I have never heard of keeping them for years!

BertieBotts · 01/06/2016 13:28

Damnit you've made me go on a pregnancy test gallery binge now Grin

BertieBotts · 01/06/2016 13:27

Aww come on! We can invert it and everything!

I still have all my tests from last time and somewhere in a box is my test from DS Blush Crusty and yellow and eight year old urine and all! I can't bring myself to throw them away!

FriendlyGhost · 01/06/2016 13:25

Go on, go on, go on Grin

babydances · 01/06/2016 13:20

Hahaha I couldn't resist posting i want to see your squinter!! haha.

Writerwannabe83 · 01/06/2016 13:12

The squinter is in the bin, it's far too squinty to show up on an IC photo Grin

babydances · 01/06/2016 13:09

I wanna see your squinter!!!!! Grin

Writerwannabe83 · 01/06/2016 12:48

I promised myself I wouldn't get carried away after my miscarriage and I feel like I'm setting myself up for a fall.

I got really a really strong BFP on numerous tests at 10dpo, and carried on doing so for two weeks, and I still miscarried. It completely came out of the blue.

I'm excited about getting a second line but I can't get excited about the thought of being pregnant because lines don't guarantee anything do they? Sad

Butterpuff · 01/06/2016 12:41

Go on Writer, not great for your bank balance but we would all love it if you tested again today Grin

Writerwannabe83 · 01/06/2016 12:38

I know full well though that if I buy a FRER today I won't be able to stop using it today so I probably shouldn't Grin

FriendlyGhost · 01/06/2016 12:36

Same here butterpuff. Can't believe I was so restrained! I still have the other test from the packet upstairs. It's a digital one so I don't want to use it until I'm likely to get a positive.

FriendlyGhost · 01/06/2016 12:33

Hurrah! Hopefully the first of many on here. This is so exciting Smile

Butterpuff · 01/06/2016 12:31

With DD I tested once, when AF was a week late! Grin

BertieBotts · 01/06/2016 12:30

OMG! Yay! Grin

You are all making me impatient to test and I'm not even sure I've ovulated yet Grin

I am having fun imagining the sperm hanging out on their fallopian tube lilo though....

Writerwannabe83 · 01/06/2016 12:22

I did once a day at 7dpo, twice a day at 8dpo, then three times yesterday at 9dpo Grin

I love POAS!!!!!

I might pop out and get a FRER later to use in the morning....

Butterpuff · 01/06/2016 12:20

Five Star for commitment to the cause!
