Late AF but -ive test!!

Whiteybaby · 02/08/2010 11:42

Thought I might consult the mighty MN oracle re the above problem! AF was due on Sat but has yet to turn up. I know its not long but usually am like clockwork! Two digital tests (Sat and Sun) both -ive. I feel sick and had sickness and upset tum Friday night / sat morning. I also had rotten gastric flu for first two weeks of cycle so didnt really eat for week or so and was really knocked out. BD been veeerrry limited but we are vaguely ttc no 2 so was kind of around possible ov time.
I don't feel preg except feeling queasy, could illness have delayed things or could this be false negative? Am quite terrified at thought of having two but slightly broody at the same time!! Just being driven mad by this uncertainty!! Any helpful thoughts?

thx !

Whitey that's because the best way to take your mind of things like absent AFs is to spend all day on MN talking about it with other crazy and deranged MNers also missing their AFs.

MMMm Pizza!!! That's tomorrow nights dinner. Can't wait.

hiya i was just wanting to ask a question and thought you ladys will be the ones to ask, what site can you get those early pregnancy tests from cheap?

crazybutterflylady · 05/08/2010 15:33

Beckie I buy mine with the weekly shopping (at Waitrose - £5 for 2), not online, sorry. I think you can get them on eBay. Good luck.

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 05/08/2010 15:59

Beckie Ebay and Amazon, just search for pregnancy test. I bought my cheapies from body care, 3 for 99p.

Cor blimey Crazy in the weekly shop? You serving them up for dinner or something?

crazybutterflylady · 05/08/2010 16:05

Haha no I just know I am a marketing man's dream, so the most expensive one in Boots would be the one I would buy since there must be a reason it's so expensive

So online, the cheapy ones pop up as a favourite now

To be clear, I have bought 2 packs (so 4 HPTs) and used 1 pack (of 2). I am not making myself my very own clearblue river/mountain/giant plastic stick

Whiteybaby · 05/08/2010 20:17

ahem... I might have a leetle wee stick mountain growing over here at Whitey Towers! I am that dream buyer as still slinking into Boots to buy the "all singing all dancing almost need to remortgage as its so expensive" type!! I am trying hard to wait till sat but will be visiting the local Boots tomorrow to prepare!
Have realised that I missed loads of posts today as kept popping in when at work and being caught! Am definitely hoping no one saw the detail!!

i popped out and bought 1 today, ive had the bodycare ones but wanted an early testing 1. so i went to wilkos and bought the predictor ones. it says u can use it 5 days before period due, which is me today. but im not using it until a few days as i know when you test too early it can turn out a waste of money as it can still say neg even if its not. thank u to all of you

crazybutterflylady · 06/08/2010 07:16

Morning!!

I am backing out of the group test tomorrow morning... my bloody AF turned up overnight :( boooooo.

Oh well, at least I know I am not now and can get swigging the wine this weekend :) I hope you guys have more luck! xx

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 06/08/2010 10:15

Oh Crazy I'm sorry. Make sure you get a really expensive, yummy bottle of wine, and don't share it with anyone! Grin

I couldn't wait and tested this morning. Still nothing. Grrrrrr. Shall be leading the testing tomorrow though (with a different test type I feel).

crazybutterflylady · 06/08/2010 10:29

Good idea choccy, Mr Crazy has already said he is going to run me a nice bath when we get home and chuck a glass of wine in my hands. This month's Red got delivered yesterday too wooohoo. Really looking forward to getting home now Grin

Sorry about your BFN :( keep trying girl x

fingerscrossedgirl · 06/08/2010 11:33

That's a shame, crazy - enjoy the wine!

Well I tested this morning - BFN. Boo. Though AF isn't due til Monday anyway. Today's CD29 of an expected 31. I'll try again if nothing happens Monday.

And there was me thinking that I'd be preggers the very first time I peed on a stick!

beckie90 · 06/08/2010 11:48

i wrote about the cheap tests yestaday, i got one and wasnt going to do it till my period due which is 4 days but i did it this morning, and there is a faint line on it took it to bits to look closer and when you do that its defo a line or8.
wow im sooo scared

SaorAlba · 06/08/2010 17:32

Big hugs for you, Crazy. Sorry to hear that.

broughthimroundtotheidea · 06/08/2010 17:39

Hi Newbie here, trying for #3 . Ok so after a week of lurking I still can't work out what AF stands for, although I do get that it means period? It's not on the acyrnms list Confused x

SaorAlba · 06/08/2010 17:42

AF is Aunt Flo. As in 'I can't go swimming tomorrow as Aunt Flo is visiting'. Strange, I know.

broughthimroundtotheidea · 06/08/2010 18:03

Ahh thanks, I SaorAlba I had it in my head as the F standing for the rude word for shagging! glad it is something nice and innocent !

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 06/08/2010 18:07

Welcome Broughthimround. Hope you've got your shag cape on Grin. At first I couldn't work out AF either and my brain kept trying to say Autumn Flow, which is one of my fav CDs so really didn't want to be calling it that!

Settling in for another slightly despressing sober Friday night in. At least I have another PIAJ/POAS to look forward to tomorrow.

crazybutterflylady · 06/08/2010 19:07

Just popped in to say I am so excited for those of you testing tomorrow, i'll check late morning and see if there is any good news!
Have a nice evening ladies and welcome broughthimround xx

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 06/08/2010 19:34

Just realised that I completely vagued out as to which thread I was posting on earlier and started banging on about shag capes and PIAJ (peeing in a jar).

Thanks Crazy, we'll miss you tomorrow. Hope you're enjoying that bath and wine Grin

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 07/08/2010 08:36

How did everyones morning pee on a stick go?
I got a very very faint second line GrinGringrin]!!!!!!!!!!! About fecking time too.

I came across these stats on another thread, wish I'd found it a week ago, would have helped with the testing insanity (I'm only 17DPO today)

10dpo=35%
11dpo=51%
12dpo=62%
13dpo=68%
14dpo=74%
15dpo=80%
16dpo=88%
17dpo=92%

Off to buy an expensive fancy test, so that I can convince DH that I'm not imaging that second line. GrinShock

beckie90 · 07/08/2010 10:21

congrats nomorechoccybiscuits :)

i shouldnt be even 17 days post ovulation. god knows my body has done stranger things last time i got preg at the end of my period, but i got a posative yest 4 days before af due.

exited for you. good luck :)

SaorAlba · 07/08/2010 10:47

Nomore

i got a bfp too! Line was definitely there, and not even all that faint. Think I'm going to buy a digital that tells you the dates Grin

crazybutterflylady · 07/08/2010 12:22

congrats choccy & saoralba!!! hoorayyyy!

SO pleased for you both xx

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 07/08/2010 17:44

Did my fancy digital test, so now DH believes me. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! We only started trying 2 and half weeks ago (NMCB dodges flying kippers as is aware not everyone is as stupidly fertile as the NMCB's).

Just noticed never congratulated you Beckie (unless I did on another thread, I've lost track)! Congrats Grin

beckie90 · 07/08/2010 17:55
