Good morning!!
Ok so 11dpo today and I am positively ITCHING to test. I know its going to be a BFN though, I am just not feeling confident. I keep getting twinges but I am not sure if I am imagining them or not. The question is, can I hang on until Friday?
Newbie sorry for your BFN. I do think that (in the nicest possible way) to some extent by starting testing early you are setting yourself up for a fall. From what I have read most people wont get a positive result until after AF is due. I do hope you get there though!!
Dulcet I definitely agree that we need to get this TTC done with so we can meet in a mum and bump group!
Nicola I remember when you were debating whether or not to come off the pill only a few weeks ago, and now look, you are as obsessed as the rest of us. Fingers crossed you will catch this month. Would you announce it at your wedding if you had you 12 week scan by then?
Lisa with regard to the ic opks, my understanding is this. You should always have a faint line on them throughout your cycle because you will always have a small amount of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in your wee. Its in the run up to getting your LH surge (in the hours pre-ovulation) that the line gets darker and for it to be positive it needs to be as dark or darker than the control line. This means you should ovulate imminently. That?s my understanding of it anyway. I buy the Clearblue smiley face ones which I know are expensive but I just cannot be bothered with comparing lines.
So its still raining here, it hasn?t stopped for 3 days. Off to a wedding in Cyprus on Friday for 4 days. Its 32 degrees and sunny there. Excited muchly :)
