Right.

I know the rules. Disregard tests after the 10 minute window.

However....

On Monday I had my day 21 bloodtests, (and handed in my DH's sample, I cannot explain how weird I felt walking through the hospital thinking "I have sperm in my handbag!") Wink

Yesterday morning it occured to me that my cycle is ticking on and I have some of the internet cheapies that I bought last month in the bathroom cabinet, and that there is the slimest of chances that I pregnancy might show up. So I POAS with FMU but after a few minutes it was obviously going to be negative so I threw it in the bin. I did the same thing this morning but as I am so impatient I waited only seconds before putting it on the window sill and getting ready for work.

This afternoon I got home from work and glanced over at it. I picked it up and there was the faintest of faint lines.

Now, I have peed on alot of these sticks and I have never had a tide mark before, in my experience pink dye does not do that in the same way the blue ones do. Of course, being insane and a bit grim, I found yesterdays in the bin and compared the two. Today's is definately not my imagination, it's there, but very very light.

So, I would be really grateful for your thoughts, I know I sound desperate but we've been trying for 2 years so I am desperate.

I suppose I'm one of those people who will only truly be happy when Mumsnet invents a test that you can use by pressing a button on the key pad!!!!!

If I were you I would try my hardest NOT to test in the morning. So just get up and wee.... and then its too late. If you have the will power, get up and wee straight away on Friday too... again then its too late.. but I do know doing it for 2 days will be hard!
On Saturday POAS again, and then that's given your levels a good 3 days to increase if you are, allowing you a hopefully clearer answer!

Good luck. FX for you!

So are you only on day 24? Don't test again until monday and if you can afford it buy a test which is digital.

Fingers crossed for you. I dont want to get your hopes up but a similar hing happened to my friend and she is now mummy to a gorgeous son xx

Thank you for your sound advice ladies. I kind of followed it...

I did not POAS yesterday, or this morning but at work today I suddenly felt faint.

I came home and did the teeniest middle-of-the-day pale wee, and....

BFP! Grin Grin Grin

I did two tests, one internet cheapie, one Tesco cheapie, both BFP.
I know I'm not due till Monday but I have been trying for two years and haven't even got this far. So am now walking round like I slept with a coat hanger in my mouth. Stunned, and scared!
