has anyone ever used tesco's own brand test or know how sensitive they are? I only just read the back and they say to test on the day AF is due, and that combined with impatiently saying she got bfn one day and bfp the next when AF was due are keeping my hopes up.

VJONES1985 · 25/08/2013 12:25

All tests are more sensitive from the day AF is due so if it's not due yet, you may not get an accurate result. Having said that, I've heard of women not getting a bfp until days after AF was due..

wispaxmas · 25/08/2013 12:29

yeah... i get that, but I'm totally jealous of the faint-line brigade! AF is due the same day as Gilly's!

VJONES1985 · 25/08/2013 12:37

Oh right. How many days to go?

VJONES1985 · 25/08/2013 12:39

coco808 don't tease me like that, I was only 5 dpo yesterday so surely too early for implantation cramps!

This website is good.

www.pregnancyforum.co.uk/am-i-pregnant/208279-pregnancy-test-sensitivity-list.html

Says tesco is 25mIU.
So I used IC 10mIU Wed = BFN, IC 10mIU on Thur (day AF due) and Fri = BFP, and Clearblue 25mIU on Sat and got BFP.

Actually on Thur I did about 5 Internet cheap tests (all from same pot of FMU), did one and thought there might have been a line so did the rest. 2 of them were so faint that if I'd picked that one out first I would have considered it BFN and wouldn't have done anymore that day. So even tests with the same mIU sensitivity have a bit of variance in what they show.

MrsB2013 · 25/08/2013 12:44

Woohoo congrats Pixie

gilly come on we are all waiting lol

I have a feeling af is going to show up soon, have had an achy tummy yesterday and this morning, but who knows, first month off the pill, could be waiting weeks for it to show up!

VJONES1985 · 25/08/2013 12:45

So basically, it really is worth waiting for AF day to poas because it can make all the difference.

Beautifulboy1 · 25/08/2013 12:58

Well mummies to be, stopped in from work for a quick wee break and a quick poas and sure enough "PREGNANT 1 to 2 Weeks" don't think it has sunk in yet but I just want to say if your af is due and u get a positive ovulation, get a pregnancy test sharpish!!!

Good luck to all those waiting for BFP's! all questions about symptoms etc welcome as I had some strange ones! lol

Congrats Pixie, have a happy and healthy pregnancy xxx

Tea1Sugar · 25/08/2013 13:25

Congrats Grin Does that put you in April or May? I'm on the April thread, it'd be great to have you aboard

Tea1Sugar · 25/08/2013 13:26

And yes vjones, wait til Af is due or late

VJONES1985 · 25/08/2013 13:29

That gives me 8 loooong days...

Congratulations, Beautiful and Pixie!

DisneyDiva87 · 25/08/2013 13:42

Congrats beautiful!!

wispaxmas · 25/08/2013 13:56

Aww, congratulations beautiful!

And thanks, impatiently, that's nice to hear. I think I'll give up testing, though, as it doesn't even stop me from hoping - it just gives me momentary disappointment. I think I'd much rather just wait around for a few days and see if AF comes on schedule - Tuesday or Wednesday.

Beautifulboy1 · 25/08/2013 14:43

Thanks all, very unexpected at 10dpo!

my 2 main symptoms were actually feeling really energetic and slight constipation (sorry TMI) and a heavy feeling on my bikini line!

Thanks Tea1sugar, from the first day of my last af, my due date is 5th May or there about, however my DS came 3 weeks early so who knows!

m33r · 25/08/2013 14:45

Thank you all so much. I have new hope as I was sure I was pregnant all month long that's why I took the BFN so hard but I have renewed hope and am actually quite excited. I'm all out of cheapies and only have my cb diggie left. Maybe Wednesday if I can wait...

I feel stupid being so excited again. I know you all know this but what a roller coaster! Should I go before wed?

Speaking of which ... Gilly get the diggie out.

And of course huge congrats to all positives!

Did I mention - thanks! - I don't know how people do it without MN!

VJONES1985 · 25/08/2013 14:46

Beautiful interesting symptoms there, they're quite subtle really! Which hpt did you use?

wispaxmas · 25/08/2013 14:55

M33r, I feel like we're in the same boat, what a rollercoaster indeed. I'd wait until Weds. I've got a cbd in my cupboard and if AF isn't here by Weds I'm testing, so if I can wait so can you!

ImaginaryHat · 25/08/2013 15:22

Congrats beautiful, fantastic news Flowers

m33r · 25/08/2013 15:42

Ok wispa. In this one together! No testing til Wednesday. Will let you know if AF gets me before then. Everything crossed that we get the double on Wednesday.

mojo1981 · 25/08/2013 15:47

Writerwannabe83 · 25/08/2013 15:58

Congratulations mojo!!!!! Flowers Smile x

MrsB2013 · 25/08/2013 16:06

Congrats to beautiful and mojo Flowers

Loads of bfps on this bus and still a week left!

wispaxmas · 25/08/2013 16:11

Congratulations, mojo, yet another August BPF! The May club should be getting busy already.

I think I might need a bit of Cake to get through the next 63 hours or so. AF due Tuesday, but I really hope the wait isn't cut short for either of us, m33r. Anyone else holding out until Weds for testing? I feel like there are still quite a few people at the back of the bus with us.

m33r · 25/08/2013 16:45

Brilliant news mojo! This is a lucky bus!

Do you mind sharing a bit more info with us? sorry if i missed it all in the thread somewhere. How many days after ov / AF due date did you test? Also, any symptoms?
