...was going 2 wait til end of the week 2 test with my 1st response....BUT I CANT HOLD OUT THAT LONG!!!
have taken the advice of someone on another thread i read a few days ago and gone out and brought a couple of superdrug cheapy ones that i can pee on 2 my hearts content (sort of!), and unless 1 shows up as positive (here's hoping) will save more expensive 1 for end of week-or longer IF i can manage it!
so.... here's waiting til i next need 2 go, and will b taking my special little gadget with me...
wish me luck

could i join in please?

I came off the pill a month ago so have no idea when i ovulated. This has led to me taking many tests Grin

If I don't get pregnant this month we may have to put it off a while as I'm spending all our money buying sticks to pee on.

And I may not even have ovulated yet - I've just realised what a loon I sound!!!!

Hi Bertie, welcome to loon town!

Your initiation rite is to : Get yourself on Amazon and get 25 tests for a fiver Smile

BertieBasset · 23/09/2010 21:42

Thank you!

Great tip - that will save me a fortune.

Now who thinks when I get them the amount of tests I am taking will go through the roof? Grin

Thanks for the wine mummyabroad.

domeafavour · 24/09/2010 14:33

I am at the till in asda buying two tests for £3.80. Not due til 28th, shall I test now? Is it worth it? Says 4 days before!

broodywantcoilout · 24/09/2010 15:09

domeafavour · 24/09/2010 16:46

No good luck from me I'm afraid. Bfn. Was so hopeful cos finally figured out the ovulation sticks, and all happened right on time after the smiley face. Maybe a bit early, will try again Sunday maybe if af doesn't get here. It was a midday wee, 4 days before!!
Good luck everyone!

broodywantcoilout · 24/09/2010 20:09

oh no domeafavour - theres still hope tho,perhaps c if aunt flo arrives and test teh day after if she doesnt? good luck!

OP posts:
BertieBasset · 25/09/2010 12:27

Still bfn in this corner. Have got some 99p for 3 card tests now though! My DH just said "oh good now you can take 3 tests a day instead of 1". He just doesn't get it. Men Wink

Good luck to all you ladies still in the running for this month!

broodywantcoilout · 25/09/2010 13:57

haha, i dont tell my dh how many i do-he'd prob just laugh at me! and i wouldnt blame him cuz it is laughable really, im sure 1 or 2 would be plenty-not 1+ a day sometimes!!

domeafavour-bfn, af due today, not holding out much hope!

sunface · 28/09/2010 09:50

Hi all, no internet access all weekend (torture!) but a big fat BFN from me too and it looks like AF is on her merry little way....
mummyabroad i can't believe it, i'm so sorry, i was sure you would def get a BFP!

domeafavour · 29/09/2010 15:14

still no AF, got no tests, resisting the temptation to go and buy them, I honestly can't deal with that "not pregnant" or the single lonely pink line!

broodywantcoilout · 29/09/2010 16:09

domeafavour, when would u b expected aunt flo 2 arrive if she did? is it 2 early 2 test?

OP posts:
domeafavour · 29/09/2010 16:45

Af was due yesterday but not unheard of to go a day over. Was hopeful cos no pmt but then last night I was so irritable thought I was going to scream at poor dh!!
Tested a couple of times last week, fri and Sunday and Monday.

broodywantcoilout · 29/09/2010 16:58

could being irritable b down 2 the frustration of not getting BFP? sorry 2 hear that, there's still hope!!some ppl dont show up until a few days after missed period. have u got any other children? when did u get bfp then?

OP posts:
domeafavour · 29/09/2010 17:09

Yeah , one ds. Didn't do first test until about 5 days late cos we were on hols. 2 m/c too. Didn't test early with them either. Bugger, should just go and buy a test shouldn't I?!!!

BertieBasset · 29/09/2010 17:31

I've got a BFP!!!! So excited. Used an early response and it came up straight away.

Even though I wanted this so much I am panicking a little, how will I cope with 2 under 2? Badly probably Grin

It's looking good for you domeafavour - keeping everything crossed!

domeafavour · 29/09/2010 17:33

Yey!! Bertie!!! thats so exciting!!! Great news

BertieBasset · 29/09/2010 19:10

Thank you!!! Have you tested domeafavour? Hopefully you next!

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 29/09/2010 19:25

eeee - can I join?
I have got my crazy head on and seem to want every thread on the conception page to hear me!

I'm on CD29 (UCL 28/29) and no sign of AF, but also no PG symptoms (apart from the usual slightly sore boobies and odd twinges in the pit of my stomach).

I've got two pg tests upstairs screaming to be used (at one point this afternoon, I dug one out, stared stupidly at it for about a minuite and shoved it back in the drawer.

What to do? What to do? What to do?

BertieBasset · 29/09/2010 19:29

Take it! You know you want to Grin
