Put on your vest/shades and grab your weapons, it's Action Hero Time.

The BESH are experts in all matters action, but specialise in taking out the local droids and sometimes Druids Wink

Cover me, I'm going in!

I think I see something on the left one too, but it really is impossible on a photo when it is faint. Can you buy a digital one today to do tomorrow? draf is v wise when she says more time is better than more sticks. Chart looks promising though.

Hi slinky. I am not actually diffed, though I am v flattered to have been lumped in with those who are, and shall take it a a good omen for today's embryo transfer.

See, it's bloody hard to tell! I will go and buy a digital one or three today. What's the most sensitive digital? I thought I read that CBD were not very sensitive at all. I checked the Superdrug one which says its 10miu.

Thanks. I feel curiously depressed about it - sort of flat and emotionless.

TWinklyLittleStar · 19/02/2013 08:42

When my sister got surprise-diffed, she literally bought one of each test in the shop. Cost her a fortune :) (all the results were the same, funny enough)

Buy them all, but maybe save some for the day after tomorrow? Doesn't it take 48 hours for hcg to double roughly, so Thursday would be a better day to test?

Best of luck today norf

Oooooh Frank! I'm on my phone so I can't real see the tests (I'll have a look on the iPad) but I can understand why you tested with that chart! My advice re tests - I wouldn't do a digital for a couple of days, they just aren't very sensitive, not if a Superdrug test (which are sensitive) is giving you faint lines. I would reccomend a FRER twin pack for now. My advice is to test again with FMU. This is what I advise, not what I did. What I did was test in the afternoon with two cheapies, run out and buy an FRER and tested again in the evening!

Nice to see you sinks!

I've got to let the clinic know what is going on tomorrow, but they may say wait and test again in a few days if the result is still iffy. Kinda hoping they'll say come in for a blood test, but doubt that will happen!

Oh yes, good luck Norf, praying for well grown EmBarryos and a sticky transfer :) I can only imagine its been a roller coaster of emotion and in some ways, your brain squashes any excitement at this point. But we are here for you!

SinkyMalinks · 19/02/2013 08:57

I have no stick advice to offer, as an eternal non-differ, but I have all the appropriate appendages crosses

norf, I know you're not (yet) a differ but with 7 em-Barry-os, I have high (but not irritatingly presumtuative) hopes for you.

I might be getting back on the fertility bandwagon...

TWinklyLittleStar · 19/02/2013 08:58

Do tell more sinky...

Northey · 19/02/2013 08:59

Remind me why you hopped off it, sink?

ArielThePiraticalMermaid · 19/02/2013 11:27

What on earth is going on here? Spring Fever?

Where's the picture of the stick? I need to see it.

Northey · 19/02/2013 11:43

It is on frank's profile, aries. Click on her name, innit?

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 19/02/2013 12:22

Right, nearly lunchtime so recommend me some test types please! Thankfully I have 4 chemists I can visit to stock up, so I won't look totally crazy

What time is ET Norf?

OP posts:
Casserole · 19/02/2013 12:46

I am sure I can see faint lines on both of those.

Good luck Norf

Northey · 19/02/2013 12:57

2pm. Am fretting over when to do my water drinking so my bladder is full enough for u/s, but not so full that I wee on them as soon as they press down (fairly dramatic, with my legs in stirrups. ..).

Northey · 19/02/2013 13:02

Sorry, no idea on test types though. I always buy cheapest available. My two bfps were on pink superdrug, swiftly followed up by CB Digitals...

LazyMachine · 19/02/2013 13:04

Ooooooooooo peestick excitement Franks! I can see a faint line on both. Download your pictures onto the CanYouSeeALine website and you'll be able to look at the photo negative, which allows you to see a line more clearly. It's what I did on the morning I got the two ridiculously faint lines last June...LazyBoy that resulted is currently frenzy-feeding on my boob.

Re. Good piss-sticks, I've always had proper early positives with Superdrug own brand.

LazyMachine · 19/02/2013 13:09

Silly phone - I wasn't finished...

As I was writing, although I rate the Superdrug own brand and their price, the Queen of All Piss-Sticks is the Early Response. (And interns cheapies are the Work of the Devil)

Get thee to a Boots ASAP, laydee!

LazyMachine · 19/02/2013 13:11

Obviously that should have read 'Internet' cheapies (although unlike the idea of having piss-stick interns...)

LazyMachine · 19/02/2013 13:14

Norfy I've always wee'd before leaving the house and then guzzled a large bottle of water on the drive in...

Have a good scanage, lovely haglet!

EuroShagmore · 19/02/2013 13:18

Frank! OMG. The photo is tiny, but I think I can see something on the left... I'm an internet cheapie fan, so I can't advise on shop tests. I have a lovely gallery of ICs coming along now though.

Norfy I was fretting about that too. I did lots of internet research the night before! I think on a fairly empty stomach (no food to soak up the liquid) your bladder will refill in about 30 mins. I drunk 1hr-45mins before my appointment. And then ended up with my train cancelled, a ridiculous bumpy £50 taxi ride across London with me wincing at each speedbump, and then the clinic kept me waiting for an hour. The ecstasy of the wee afterwards is indescribable.

Lazy! How lovely to see you on here. Glad to hear that Lazy Boy is a boob man. :)

LazyMachine · 19/02/2013 13:19

Duh...it's been a while...I meant to type FIRST RESPONSE, not 'early'. Okay, I'm going back to bed now. But will be lurking...

SinkyMalinks · 19/02/2013 13:27

Good luck with the pee stick/not making a fountain of pee while in stirrups ladies.

I have been absent/not engaging with my fertility clinic for a number of (crap) reasons. Partly being a grump, partly being terrified, partly because it would be a really really bad time for it at work (as opposed to just being a bad time).

But have just spent a lovely weekend with my lovely favouritest little boy and maybe have decided to stop being pathetic and ring the bloody clinic.

Soooo. Pee stick update?
