I need to have a smidge of hope that I don't have to wait another 3 weeks before anything exciting happens north of the fanjo gap!

and I mean REALLY convinced you were due on, cramps, pms the lot.

fuck. think i just got a faint line. wasnt expecting anything since only 12dpo, boots own brand and weak afternoon wee, but definately a faint line. still, in my case a line is not a line yet. shall retest on thursday moring.

Congrats scared!!!! That's really great news!!!

I only bought a test with dd because I thought that if I knew for sure that I wasn't pg I would come on!!!!!

I never realised (until then) how similar the symptoms are, I just thought that all the pmt symptoms would stop!! Just to make it more confusing!!!!

Good luck everyone, will be looking out for the announcements!!!!

hey great thread! I got a BFN yesterday evening from one of the ebay One Step Pregnancy thingys (bought a pack of 10, just the strip things that you dip in a pot of wee), AF was due sunday and still no signs yet apart from low down tummy ache, moody and water retention.....me and dh convinced tests are dud, and he wants me to go get a shop bought one, but if that neg too I will be gutted.....hanging onto that sliver of hope....

PrePG · 06/05/2008 13:56

but no AF yet, either, right??? Fingers crossed!

nope bfn, not so much as a whiff of pinkiness about the stick.

Me with both my pregnancies. DS was planned but this one wasn't so bit of a shocker.

PrePG · 06/05/2008 12:39

Congrats Scared

Just wanted to come on here to tell Squack - we've got a really similar cycle, I think. O around CD18 and have a 10-11 day LP? When I was pregnant, I tested on CD11, the day after my period would've been due according to my previous cycle and got a faint BFP. Took another two days later and it was darker. Fingers crossed for you!!!!

"By lissielou on Tue 06-May-08 09:31:44
no! dont test yet, wait for as long as possible unless you have a medical reason to find out asap" Sound familiar?

OracleInaCoracle · 06/05/2008 11:19

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 06/05/2008 09:42

Due today!

OP posts:
TheDuchessOfNorksBride · 06/05/2008 09:38

Me. But to be fair it was only 2 weeks after a miscarriage so I really didn't expect to be pregnant again so soon!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 06/05/2008 09:37

Squack, I forget now, when is your period actually due? I don't know all the chances in odd's, but test the day period is due (cannot believe I have just said that, it is that LL's bad influence again !)

You don't have to get a very faint before a strong BFP for you to be pregnant. The very faint might have shown yesterday for example.

I have about 9 tests (still) lined up upstairs, all in time and date order (how is that?!!) and they go from very dark to fairly faint, back to very dark again, and something I did notice is that the ones I took later in the day were darker than the ones first thing!
