My CB tests looked like this:

So beware if you get one. I don't think I am pg, I think there is something wrong with Cb.

mibbes · 18/03/2008 08:01

SH sorry CB tests are messing with you , hope you get a conclusive answer soon, being in limbo is rubbish xx

ScaryHairy · 18/03/2008 06:46

ARG, 2 tests using FMU this morning.

Clearblue: another sort of vague line
FR: BFN.

Hum. So I am none the wiser. A call to CB is clearly in order. I suspect they are churning out dodgy tests. AF is due tomorrow at the very outside of the possible interpretations of my chart, so I guess that will be my answer. I am going to go see the Dr as well - surely cramps since last Thurs cannot be normal? An I had an em c.s. when I had DD so I should probably get my uterus checked out anyway...

Hope all of you are well and that there are some proper BFPs this morning.

twinklingfairy · 17/03/2008 23:37

Oh lovely DG so pleased!
Isn't it fab, seeing your digibean up on the screen? My DH cried! But then, bless him, he is a big soft soul. He cried at BFP too
My DD bean gave me a wave. She posed for the camera in both scans too and she really does love that camera now.
Everytime she sees my phone (I use it as my camera) she says 'Cheeeese'

digitalgirl · 17/03/2008 23:12

HI ladies,
Scan went well today. Digibean was having a little swim on it's belly. DH said it takes after me, likes to lie on it's front.
Measured 12+6, so due 23rd September. So it was a New Year's Day conception.
Interesting as FF calculated that I ov'ed on Jan 3rd. So there you go ladies, FF can be out by a few days.
DG x

chilledmama · 17/03/2008 22:14

Neither...when I ov I can tell from the change to my discharge (pleasant...just think about the bowls again...that's nicer].
I knew roughly how long my cycle was (27-32 days currently) and knew when I was going out to visit, spoke to nurse and got her to give me a month of microginon30. I worked back the dates and took the pill to induce a bleed then counted requisite number of days in for rough ov time/holiday.
I know I ov while we were together but sometimes that's still not enough! Fingers crossed that I've been a smarty pants!

ShakeysGirl · 17/03/2008 22:09

I gave in a bought a test this afternoon, it was negative. It was a wilkos cheapy that said it measured at 25ml or something, is that sensitive or not? Am due on wednesday but don't feel at all pregnant so am not going to get my hopes up. Any one know which shop bought tests are best/most sensitive? I can't buy from the internet as i don't have paypal xx

EiWishFor3MoreEasterEggs · 17/03/2008 22:05

do you temp or use OPKs at all?? i started temping this month and im not sure what to make of it yet
xx ei xx

chilledmama · 17/03/2008 21:49

Navy.

You just get used to it although I have to admit I had no idea how difficult it was going to be..being a single working mum in effect. Much respect now for all those parents that do it!

Last time it took us 9 months but to be fair we weren't really doing it properly iykwim .
It's not all about having sex...it helps...but obviously the timing is more important. I have always had problems with my cycle so we had real trouble predicting ov. I knew when I was but not I would be so when I knew what dates I was going to be seeing DH I decided to take the matter in to my own hands and manipulated things so that I would be ov some time during our week long holiday...will find out soon if I counted properly!!!

EiWishFor3MoreEasterEggs · 17/03/2008 21:40

im on my 5th cycle now but it took 10 cycles to get DD so im only halfway yet lol
is your DH in the army?? (or similar) mine is an electrician and works away sometimes i couldnt handle it if he was away for 3 month stretches its never usually more than a few days at most
xx ei xx

chilledmama · 17/03/2008 21:36

well I hadn't seen DH for 3 1/2 months so that would be pushing it even for a serial tester!!

Hopefully i am about 11 dpo but variable cycle means hard to tell. Fingers crossed I will know by end of week (one way or the other).

Bizarre though how we imagine all the symptoms...I stopped BFing DS a couple of months ago (in order to get some regularity to my ov) but sometimes wish I hadn't as they can usually tell your Up the duff long before any test!!!!!!!!

How long have you been trying ttc??

EiWishFor3MoreEasterEggs · 17/03/2008 21:28

i dont bother with the cheapy ones anymore as i always think they are lying to me and end up buying a more expensive one anyway are you due to test around now or are you a serial tester like quite a few of us on here?? (me included!! i have been known to test after AF has been and gone)
xx ei xx

chilledmama · 17/03/2008 21:24

In preparation I bought tests but stupidly thought I would be able to contain myself (you'd think I knew myself better) so bought cheapy ones that test 25 miu. Now really regretting that and know that tomorrow I will go out before I go to work and buy the CB digital one so that I don't have to squint for an invisable line!!!!!

EiWishFor3MoreEasterEggs · 17/03/2008 21:20

i have a DD who is 2.2yo and is a little madam at times but she is amazing ooooh i cant wait for another hopefully you wont have too long a wait on your hands
xx ei xx

chilledmama · 17/03/2008 21:17

Also now PMSL...how important an 'e' can be!

Fingers crossed this will be DC2. Already have a gorgeous boy (17mon) and feel very lucky that he is so good. DH away at moment but we managed to sneak in a rondezvous at hopefully the right time of the month. Still giggling about soup bowls attacking me!

EiWishFor3MoreEasterEggs · 17/03/2008 21:12

hi chilledmama welcome and well done for coming out of the TTC closet pmsl at the scary bowls im sure you mean bowels but for a moment there i had a visual of soup bowls attacking you and jumping out from behind the couch shouting BOO and suchlike
have you got kiddies already or is this your first??
xx ei xx

chilledmama · 17/03/2008 20:54

Hi all, I've been having a look for a little while and thought I'd drop a line...I am really hoping for a BFP and (hides head i shame) have already done 2 tests which could never have worked but hey it kept me happy! My cycle changes from 1 month to the next so no idea when AF will/wont come but hopefully I'll know one way or the other before the end of the week. Getting excited now and imagining all sorts of symtoms , you know cramps that could be implanting, scary bowls, possible sensitivity in breasts. There must be an easier way!!!!!!!

Good luck to everyone else waiting!

ScaryHairy · 17/03/2008 20:53

Thanks Mibbes. Am knackered (another phantom pregnancy symptom...) so off to bed.
See you al tomorrow.

mibbes · 17/03/2008 20:51

Scary best to test again tomorrow with FMU. Sorry for getting excited, will shut up now until you report back tomorrow.{{{hugs}}}}xx

mibbes · 17/03/2008 20:49

ooohh Ei I love your preditions ! Are these lists compiled from your famous dreams or from your imagination...? I have been lucky enough to feature more than once in your dreams but so far have only served to lower your hit rate (which is pretty blimin' impressive !!)
I so hope these lists are correct, although it will be a teeny bit sad to lose so many familiar faces. Mind you hopefully we'll be joining then soon anyway
Bucky where are you ? and GG are you lurking ? How is it going with DH ?

ScaryHairy · 17/03/2008 20:48

Seriously guys, no excitement allowed.
Tomorrow is when AF is due if FF is wrong about ovulation date, so we'll see.
And I have just cracked and done a FR which is another BFN.
I hope the HPT companies are enjoying their surge in sales.

EiWishFor3MoreEasterEggs · 17/03/2008 20:37

well mibbes PnM is on my new list...there is another well known bear on my original list though...aswell as scary and TF that will be a full set if we get a BFP from my other lady i have got one other on my new list so heres hopin im right again...
