period is 3d late which never happens (unless im pg) and shows no sign at all of rearing its ugly head. bought a boots test today and did it mid morning (definately NOT 1st wee, have to squeeze it out, TMI, sorry) and twas a bfn.

just read though that boots tests are probably the least sensitive (doh) any stories?

lissie, tell me to eff off is you like(tis a bloody nosey question so youreally can if you like) but is TTc all back on again for you?
I remember a thread recently saying you were going to teh doc for birth control.

I hope you get a happy ending, it must be so hard....

don't bother with clear blue for sensitivity...they are only hafl as sensitive as First response.

No idea about Boots but if you look up peeonastick.com it has sensitivities for many brands...no idea if boots in there!!

well they know what they say,when you relax a little bit ,it happens,test again and see what it is ,i know digital blue is exspensive but worth it to stop you from wondering

I've always found them the best ones. other test would say BFN but boots always said BFP with the dsses.

i only chose it because it was so much cheaper. wasnt even a digital one. honestly, ive spent so much on hpts over the last 2y that i could probably have bought a baby by now
