Hut of Gl/Doom, part IV - FTC, because that's what we do....

Impatience, how infuriating for you. Access diagnostics could deliver on Saturday morning, if you can wait that long. Are you planning to do another tomorrow morning?

Everything crossed for you here - let us know the second you find out one way or the other. Good luck!

There's no line. Choice was v limited, got Superdrug own for a fraction of the price of the alternatives. Still no line even after I should have thrown it away. Could be less sensitive than the 25mui I used this morning. Could be because pee was practically water. Could be because I'm not pregnant...

Somehow I have to just forget about this and get on with some work. Yikes, it's almost half 10. Crap.

Thanks again x

Just get a selections! First response claim to be most sensitive... but I've heard they can be unreliable, (giving false negs).

GOOD LUCK!

PS just been on the April thread - OMG - it's a BFPfest - couldn't cope and had to dive back into the hut. ARRRGHH.

Oh bugger this. I'm off to the shop. Got SO much work to do today and just cannot concentrate. I'll keep you posted...

Scorpio1, I am a big fan of the peeonastick lady. I hadn't noticed a gallery, but I'll have a look.

Don't think I can rely on Access Diagnostics saving my sanity given that tomorrow is a bank hol! I'd go mad by the time they arrived!

thanks for the support, girls. Anyone got a paper bag I can breathe into?

BTW, good rational thinking about the extra month not making any difference with dp. (Of course, I've heard enough stories to know we shouldn't count on her being quite as fertile as for no.1.) I think we can afford to wait a couple of days with her. If I get my period or am definately not pregnant in a few days (as if I EVER know that!) then she could still try then.

As for what the shop assistant thinks, I couldn't care less! It's more about the tricks that going to the shop would be playing on me. Perhaps I'll go buy myself a paper and just casually pop into superdrug on the way back...

PS, what's the most sensitive test out there? They don't always say, do they?

Impatience, have you seen www.peeonastick.com? she has a peestick gallery,something to maybe compare your test to?

also there are tests on accessdiagnostics.com that are very sensitive-10miu. shop ones like clearblue are 25miu + and wont give you a + for longer.i normally get delivery next day if i order before lunchtime.

Good luck and i hope it is what you want

Thanks chocolatedays. That hob nob worked a treat, and that's a lovely cuppa. I was really poorly the weekend around ovulation so didn't do any LH sticks then, and temp was all over the place, so I'm completely guessing at my ovulation. I suspect it was probably on the Saturday, making today 12dpo. But it could well hve been the Sunday, making today only 11dpo. And I've been in this game long enough to know that that's early to rely on a test, and that what I should do is just wait another couple of days. Like there's and JUST about it!!

Think dp is right - you need to do another test (or two!!)

Also - if you think dp catches really easily then one more month for her won't make much difference.

How many days past ov are you?

Blimey Impy - what a dilemma.

Here's a fat mug od tea and and a choc hob nob.

Right. Forget about what anyone in a shop will think - at boots I've never seens an assistant show much sign of thinking at all.

Officially it is shagfest time here too - but I'm starting to wonder if I send out nasty pheromones while I'm oving as he seems to want action any other timeof the month except now.

Note to self - must act more disinterested - works rest of the time.

Morning ladies. A stupid thing has happened. Hold my hand? Dp was going to start trying today, so although my period isn't due till Sunday or Monday I did a test. At the 5mins, nothing. I got back into bed, read my book while enjoying my cup of tea. After a while I picked up the test again, and there was a line. A faint one, but definately pink, and definately visible. Like, with two eyes, no squinting and even when not held under bright sunlight against a white background. My guess is that this was about 20mins after doing the test. AAAaaaaggghhhh! Does this sound familiar? It should do: I had exactly this palava last month! Two days later, period. So we ummed and ahhed: Does dp go ahead with the insemination? Given her one-shot conception last time she felt it silly to try if we knew I was pg, although if we didn't know we'd just leave it to chance. Frankly I wouldn't be upset for us to both be pg. How could it be bad to have more babies?!

Anyway, the reason I call this stupid is because I've become mentally and emotionally 13. Stupid bloody stick for not giving me a line sooner so I could believe in it. Stupid bloody stick for giving me a fake line. Stupid bloody body for pissing us about so much. AAAaaaarrrghhh!

I am so angry at having a bit of hope! I have seen lines before, and I've been so long trying and I've had so much false hope that I can't bear to gee myself up again. But I'm also so angry and sad that I can't feel hopeful and excited. I remember when dp got her faint line and we were so excited and we wandered around with this haze of secret excitement, then a couple of days later it was a definate line. I'd like that, please, but I just cannot believe that this would be a real line.

Dp has cancelled her insemination this evening. And she wants me to pop out later, get the most sensitive test I can find and do another one. Just like before, the one I just used was my last. Typical. Bugger bugger bugger. I don't want to go to a shop and buy a test like a normal person who thinks they might be pregnant. I feel like a fraud!

How insane to be feeling so angry at a possible positive when it's what I've wanted for SO long. Completely mad, and sad.

Can someone make me a cup of tea and tell me something to make me feel better about all this?

lol at "come here and make it quick"

Could well be why it is taking so long. That's hardly fair though, is it? Boo.

shagging week here too - only five days in and i just want to go to bed alone, or maybe with a hot water bottle - feeling a bit fluey and the last thing on my mind is minx lke behaviour - blueghhh - better get in the mood soon or may fall asleep wonder if this is why it is taking so long to conceive??

My sex kitten behaviour extends to "come here and make it quick".

Who says romance is dead?

Or here either....

Sideways - not only are we cycle buddies but we are resigned-to-shagging buddies too. Spontaneous it ain't

Shag week here too, going on longer than usual thanks to very late onset of cm. Extra shagging - yippee.

But there's no minx like sex kitten behaviour going on here, I can assure you.

Congrats to lissie and ambi.

Huge congratulations to Ambi and Lissie (I'm soooo chuffed for you Lissie and am keeping everything I own crossed for you)

Nothing much to report here, and have been v busy with work and stuff so have been lurking rather than posting, but am really glad you are all here. It's shag week chez bean, so am being minx like sex kitten and having to shag to order isn't something we are finding a tad difficult at all....

LNO - I can't do links but this is what I used last month www.askdramy.com/ovulationcalc.html

and only had sex on most fertile day, no babydustbollox I promise. I'll leave you all With a crate of red wine, and Walkers thai sensations crisps, and ok, since it's easter, a truck load of creme eggs!! Thanks for kind words, I know how awful it is when you hear the news when you've been trying so hard, so I'll bugger off now. and try to avoid the barage of flying glass coming my way

Congratulations Ambi! , and lissie! -honestly - for some reason I am able to be genuine with my congrats for fellow mners and especially fellow doomsters! - just dont all leave at once!!

LNO - agree on the pg radar - I have recently guessed 2 still in the first three months - its like a weird sixth sense - annoying. And everywhere I go there seem to be women in all stages wherever I look - like some kind of cruel taunting.
My BF has just texted me the date of her first scan - half hearted textual yipees were the response - feeling like a bitch - pass the bubbly

Hey you guys - stop being so damn cheery or this hut will have to be renamed!!!! {thanx tho} actually was expecting "das period", so feel a bit foolish for posting in here before!!!

oooh, Lissie too! Well that's very good news, especially given all she's been through. I hope this one sticks, and in the right place. Congratulations Lissie xx

Well, since we're outing, Lissielou has got a very early bfp. Delighted for her and hope she ventures back here if only to share a glass of fizz before she has to give up even virtual drinking.

Hi , I agree, I think it should be a hut custom, a bit like naming a ship! that we crack open a bottle of champers to set the lucky BFP on its way
Fantastic news Ambi can you share any hints or tips . I also like a donation to the hut as well as a leaving pressy to us all - I can see another custom being made. Next time we open a hut up we may need to set up some rules of engagement...(might need to query if pets/animals are allowed as well given the camel issue recently)

Has anyone else developed an antennae for pregnant women? My DP is amazed at how I can spot one from nowhere.... on our two day break I noticed the waitress and two guests (not all together either and must have been less than 6 months - DP thinks I have gone mad as I point them all out - cos he says he has never seen any before how is that? I am sure they are naturally gravitating towards me to make me jealous
