It's not my b'day till tomorrow, but thanks anyway ladies

Cajia - keeping my fingers crossed for you x

Katy - how you getting on? How many weeks are you now? Getting many symptoms?

Ijceb - any joy with the OPKs, are you just taking the plunge

caija · 17/06/2010 19:32

Hey girls, well...last night was evening urine, n got several positive's....the blue one's are still in date, yeah, usually the OPK's are green and Pregnancy tests are Blue, but, no, these green one's are defo pregnancy tests.

I have done tests today, this mornig, negative, just done a FEW just n, and think there MIGHT b a very very very very faint hint of something there, but I am really not sure, this is doing my nut in now xxxx

I bought some OPK's and PG tests and the OPK's have green handles and the pg ones have blue handles.

Good to know xkatyx that you don't think they are as sensitive as first response. I have a first response in the cupboard waiting to be used, so I'll probably hold off until AF is due and go straight for the first response test.

Just another thought caija are your blue one's still in date???

xkatyx · 17/06/2010 16:40

Ok , what time of the day was your test taken? could it be weak urine?

i find the evening urine better.

Try getting a first response test.

ohhh im ever so exsited for you.

It is very unlikely to get a false positive.

Hiya Katy!! A have did the green one's ths morning again, n they are NEGATIVE!!! WTF is going on??!!! I am soo confused, it ws actually 4 days til AF due yesterday, it's 3 days today lol, what do u think?? I am going insane!! xxx

OP posts:
xkatyx · 17/06/2010 11:09

I would go out and get a first response, it is so unlikely to get a false positive, these maybe much better that the blue ones, i never got a postive on the ebay blue ones for days after my period.

good luck

Right...I am TOTALLY confused, I usually get my early preg tests from a seller on ebay, and they have blue handles usually, u knw the strip one's? Well, I ordered tests from a different seller(claimed to be the same sensitivity-10mi/ul), thought they were the same as my usual tests....but they aren't, they have green handles and are pregnancy tests, anyway, tonight I have had several positive's on the green handle one's , but pee'd on the usual blue handled one after finding a stash I never thought I had, and these one's are negative!!!!! TOTALLY going out of my mind!!!! These green one's could b faulty? Three days til AF due

Hello everyone,

Happy birthday IAFUDS hope you had a lovely day.

IJCEB those POK'S are annoying but what we tried was once we got a positive we SWI everyday from then. Good luck.

xx

ijceb · 16/06/2010 15:34

Happy Birthday to you IfAtFirstUDontSuceed Hope you have a great day!

I'm 29, will be 30 at the end of the year and DH has just turned 39.

After getting so frustrated these last few days with the OPK's it is finally showing up a darker line...oh I don't know what's going on

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 15/06/2010 18:21

I'm going to go back in August. Every single month seems like such a waste and we arent getting any younger - I'm 30, well 31 this week and DH is 37. We've already wasted 3 years!

ijceb · 14/06/2010 18:36

Hi IfAtFirstUDontSucceed, glad you are feeling better, , how long do you think you are going to wait until going back?

I'm am definately going to book my appointment after this cycle is over. It is just getting me so frustrated that nothing seems to be happening. I just have this awful image of the doc's saying oh yeah, you couldn't possibly get pg as your hormones aren't right, after a year of trying. just seems like a waste of time.

We have been trying since last December, so I know it is no where near long enough, but I do have acne which is normally controlled by the pill, so obviously I have stopped taking the pill (about 9 months ago) and all my spots have come back and this is getting me down too...OMG sorry for going on so much.

Take care everyone x

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 13/06/2010 17:46

Thanks ijceb, I feel so much better today, although a little hung over

I would suggest going to the docs ASAP. How long have you been trying? How ever long it is, double it - LIE!!

My doc told me not to go back for a YEAR after my MC in March - no chance! There is obviously something wrong as we've been TTC for 3 years. Time to stand up for myself and not be fobbed off!

ijceb · 13/06/2010 17:33

Hello everyone,
really gutted for you IfAtFirstUDontSucceed
I am getting really frustrated with the ovulation strips, they just don't seem to be working for me...ahhh.
I have decided that if I don't get a positive result on them this month then I'm going to the GP to see if I can convince her to do a hormone test on me, I can't stand the thought of keep trying for a year only for them to find something out later down the line.

How's everything going xkatyx ? have you told many people

xkatyx · 12/06/2010 23:02

Oh im sorry, i really thought that this was your month!!!

No you cant imagine all those symptoms , do a test asap.

For what it's worth i have heard of loads of people have bleeds like that and be pregnant, infact i was just watching on the health programe a programe called"pregnant and didnt know it" and they all had periods etc, i also had perios with my son and didnt find out till i was about 8-9 weeks.

Good luck.

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 12/06/2010 20:37

No, deff AF - really bad cramps, heavy red bleeding.

Might do a test anyway to see if it was a CP as I certainly didnt imagine those symptoms!

At least I can enjoy a nice glass of wine now

xkatyx · 12/06/2010 19:46

oh nooo are you sure it's af?? not implantation, i would test and see.

xx

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 12/06/2010 18:44

Well,no need for the test tomoz, AF got me this morning.

I am absolutely gutted, more so than any other month as I was so sure.

Havent been able to speak to DH yet to tell him, shouldnt have said anything to get his hopes up.

Oh well[sigh]

xkatyx · 11/06/2010 18:25

i have everything crossed, i dont know how you are holding out.

oh my godddddd good luck.

xxxx

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 11/06/2010 18:16

AF was due yesterday, no sign and I'm NEVER late, symptoms have really taken off - queasy feeling, starving, knackered, thirsty, headache, emotional, I cried at the world cup opening ceremony

Temps have also started going back up, and a feeling of "I just know"

Have spoken to DH and he's made me promise not to test until he gets back on Sunday, much to the annoyance of my mate, who's been screaming down the phone at me. She even asked me if I would test, and give it to her to look at, just so she can know before Sunday

I'm at my Mam & Dad's now, with no tests in the house (well I hope not anyway hahaha) so there's no temptation!

Keep everything crossed for me.........

xkatyx · 11/06/2010 18:07

OH MY BLOODY GOD .. that is FANTASTIC .. how do you know???

How can u not test ahhhhh go and buy a cheapy one do it do it.. tell me all

xxx

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 11/06/2010 18:00

Right, I am 99% sure that I'm PG, but have promised DH that i will not test until Sunday when he gets home.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

xkatyx · 10/06/2010 21:10

tell your mum you have sore tooth and on antibiotocs

doooooo it

xxx

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 10/06/2010 19:38

OMG Katy, you are such bad influence

I don't want to test cos if it's + I will have to explain to my Mam why I'm not knocking back 10 gallons of wine as I normally do, and I really want DH to be the first to know.

I'm just going to have to play ignorant, wait for AF to show and test on Sunday when DH gets home!
