to wonder if there's an actual reason why I'm being stalked...

...by my normally anti-social, stand-offish cat? Seriously. He just followed me to the bathroom, waited whilst I brushed my teeth then followed me back to bed. This is a cat who normally prefers to be out murdering innocent bunny rabbits for 3 days at a time. I'm starting to wonder if he's picking up on some medical condition I've missed or something!

Good luck. Those tests gave me a false negative the day after my period was due.

Awww Cakes Flowers
I'm not entirely convinced by your Internet magic wee wee bulk buy paper strips tho, how many days will you let pass before investing in a clearblue test?

The Internet cheapies were effective very early last time. They're meant to be more sensitive ffs. I really resent dropping a tenner on something I'm going to pee on.

How late are you?

If more than a week you could go and ask for a blood test from the gp.

Justshabbynochic · 15/09/2013 19:58

Maybe they're defective?

SmiteYouWithThunderbolts · 15/09/2013 20:50

Do ICs go off...? How long have you had them?

LongTailedTit · 15/09/2013 21:42

Try the Superdrug ones - £3.99 for two, so slightly less painful than £10 for a ClearBlue at least!
I got a much stronger line from the Superdrug one than the Boots one on the same day, they're meant to be quite sensitive.

Damn cat...

More to the point, what's your current proximity to the cat?! :)

SarahAndFuck · 15/09/2013 23:16

The cheap tests never worked for me, clear blue digital worked at 9pm at night when DH brought it home because I couldn't stand it any more. It gave me a positive of 1-2 weeks. Cheap tests took another week or so to register anything.

GruffBillyGoat · 16/09/2013 08:52

Hate to be a downer but sudden personality changes could mean the cat needs a vet appointment. Our very unsocial cat became very loving and clingy when she was on the way out. Hope I'm wrong though.

my 2p I never got a positive on IC's - maybe try a cheapie from a pharmacy?

Onetwothreeoops · 16/09/2013 13:26

It could well be a duff batch of cheapies

HitTheNorth · 16/09/2013 13:33

I got a negative one friday (can't remember how late I was but probably about a week), then re-tested on the following monday and it was positive!

MissStrawberry · 16/09/2013 13:34

Good luck.

My cat was very attentive when I was pregnant too.
