Well done on not testing Angel and hope AF keeps away for you. I'm on CD20 and bored to tears of waiting already.

Hi all,
Well i am due af today but around the time i ov'ed we had the sickky bug so am hoping i ov'ed later in the month and am in with a chance still!! I have managed to stay away from the tests!! Am going to test wed or thurs if af stays away - here's hopping!!
How's everyone else?

ReneRusso · 18/07/2009 17:31

Hi kel118 and welcome. If the pg tests are negative and you are already quite late (is that about 2 weeks?) then you are most unlikely to be pregnant, but I would go and see the doc now if I was you in case those symptoms are indicative of something else.
Trying4, as clwc said the most sensitive tests say they can work 6 days before period but there is a much higher chance of a false negative when testing early so it is worth waiting til you're actually due.
Angelfifi, don't do it!! please try and wait or you'll feel like a chump. have a good weekend

lucygrif · 18/07/2009 12:18

hi there
hoping for some advice! im 23, getting married in 4 months. My period is late, last one was on june 5th. i was getting my period twice a month previously,strange yes, do have crohns disease though, weird things happen at times. but am now late, my boobs and particulary nipples hurt, getting a strange white odourless discharge a fair bit and i feel quite... fat!? my clothes arent tighter, yet i just feel like a big balloon. did a pregnancy test x 5 and all have been negative. I would be quite happy if it was positive but would need to change a few things for the wedding. Can anyone provide advice on these symptoms as i have to be careful with a lot of the medication i take and pregancy.

Oops, sorry. I was being a bit facetious

There are tests that can catch pregnancy early. Some say 6 days early. That's what we're trying to avoid on this thread though. It depends on how many 'miu' the test can detect. I think 10miu is the lowest, so a 10miu HPT could be used the earliest. Generally, the more pricey the test, the more reliable it will be.

How many days into your cycle (CDs) are you?

Trying4Baby1 · 17/07/2009 22:52

Thank you Rene! I didn't think you had to wait till after AF to test I thought some tests can detect earlier. I just wondered how much earlier.

ReneRusso · 17/07/2009 22:19

Hi to all. Trying4, AF means Aunt Flo a nickname for your period

Trying4Baby1 · 17/07/2009 21:53

Ok not to sound completely dumb but what does AF stand for?

Clwc · 17/07/2009 21:37

I meant, post AF due. D'oh.

Welcome Broody

Clwc · 17/07/2009 21:36

One day post-AF, T4B1

Trying4Baby1 · 17/07/2009 21:09

I know this page is supposed to discourage early testing but just wondering how early you can test and get a response? I've just started TTC and I'm really impatient. Just wondering how early you can test from with the ebay cheapy sensitives?

Broodymomma · 17/07/2009 21:02

Room for a little one? I have had my 3rd IVF and am due to test on Monday 27th. I am 7 days past transfer and absolutely gagging to test it is killing me! How is everyone else doing??

Clwc · 17/07/2009 20:53

I went to the GP today. Aren't I a good girl, eh?

OWO - oooh faint second line on the ebay cheapie - could be that there's not enough of HCG to show up yet on a normal one - maybe try another, perhaps branded, one in a few days.

Angel - shame - still it's not over yet.

Angelfifi · 17/07/2009 09:36

god whats wrong with my spelling this morning!! suppose to be 'ebay ones' and 'sensitve'

Angelfifi · 17/07/2009 09:34

Yes i have caved and tested - i can't believe it of course bfn and feel gutted for doing it, am hoping its to early for it to be pos

So has anyone caved and tested?

OP posts:
Clwc · 16/07/2009 13:05

Not yet. She keeps promising to, but lets me down every time. It's CD 19 now.

Angelfifi · 16/07/2009 12:54

I reallly don't want to test because there is nothing worse than seeing that single line laughing at me saying you muppet!! Think i will try to be strong and not test!
How are you clwc has af stopped yet?

Clwc · 16/07/2009 12:50

Ah, but if you only have one left....

Angelfifi · 16/07/2009 12:36
