iliketosleep don't they say a line is a line? have you had faint positives before that have disappeared?

in the spirit of this thread title, can someone prise the CBD from my fingers?
I'm CD39 today. thought I'd ov'ed 18 days ago but got a bfn on saturday and don't want to test again till the weekend as BFN's upset me. have only one hpt in the house and already can feel myself being drawn to boots to buy some more in case i want to test again.

can somebody confiscate my purse so that i can't buy anymore tests?

Lissie - where are you to show that patience is rewarded in the end?

torres · 16/10/2007 13:45

oh I liketosleep, I hear your caution, but can I wish you a quiet congrats?

lilibet · 16/10/2007 13:28

drums fingers impatiently..............

iliketosleep · 16/10/2007 12:44

torres · 16/10/2007 12:36

iliketosleep · 16/10/2007 09:55

TJuice · 16/10/2007 09:17

okay, now i really want to know what happens . . .
will there be live testing today?

PiggyPenguin · 15/10/2007 17:46

Lissie,

I got loads of cm this cycle after before af was due. In fact I wondered if had gone completely bananas as very like ewcm except was more coloured (cream!) but still very stretchy.

Then got BFP exactly one week ago today. This could be very good news...

alittleBITEshy · 15/10/2007 17:43

oh lissie! I'm so impressed!!!!! I know what you're like with hpts!!!!!!!!!!!!!

loads of luck and love!

dpo means Days Past Ovulation. it does sound likely lilibet. if i were you i would test (get a cheapie from tesco or asda £3.88 for 2) just to make sure.

OP posts:
lilibet · 13/10/2007 15:29

as a newbie to this, when can you test? I would normally wait till about a week overdue

and what's dpo?

I'm in a bit of a dilemma, I had a 'proper' period on 1st September (usual week long ), went at it like a pair of rabbits around the 12 - 20 Sept, then had a very light bleed on the 29th Sept. It was due date and I had pain just before (implantation??). The bleed lasted about 36 hours - never been known before to be that short. I'm now on day 15 and still haven't had the EWCM that I should have had by now, so I'm wondering................

Money a bit tight, so I would like a couple of second (or third or fourth......) opinions before I go and spend a tenner on a test

No other symptoms at all but I do tend to be symptom free.

Thread name too funny...had to check it out.

DG don't loose hope dear. You're still a bit early. With my DC1, I got the dread BFN early on...twice (yes, I'm a former addict). Wait just a few more days. Give your body time to build that good hormone.

oh digitalgirl, thats pants. but you might be one of those women who dont get a bfp til they are 10w. it aint over til the wretched witch does her knicker dance.

thanks uki

OP posts:
digitalgirl · 13/10/2007 13:32

ugh, BFN.

Testing is BAD lissie, don't do it.

Stay 'not knowing' until your waters break...that's my plan from now on (well, it will be when I've used up my last test).

Uki · 13/10/2007 13:17

good luck not testing lizzie, and GOODLUCK testing when you do

day 3 of not testing, and feeling quite confident. woke up this morning, sat up in bed and a wave of nausea hit me, had full brekkie and felt much much better. how are the other non-testers going?
