Lots of us due for AF same time eeek I want to give dh a pee soaked stick for Xmas too!

sazzlehopes · 16/12/2013 20:22

Kalliani - if you are due sat you did test pretty early! i think a frer or superdrug are sensitive - maybe for wednesday/thursday?
what dpo are you do you know?

spinningirl10 · 16/12/2013 20:23

Kaliani, frer are good, they'll say on the packet how soon you can test! I'm due fri/sat and got a bfn this morning!! I'll be poas again in the morning!! Good luck to you Grin

laravh · 16/12/2013 20:32

Smf... It was you with the venos wasnt it?! Which one was it u used? Sainsburys only had a honey and lemon one that didn't look like it had anything other than that and sugar in it. I was loitering in the medicine aisle reading the bottles of various cough medicines! Lol!

Spinning how can you test everyday?! I am impressed. I am determined that I will not poas until the day after af is due. Which will be Christmas Eve!! I feel like time is actually slowing down. I'm on cycle two and the wait is definitely harder this month. So much for 'let's be casual about it and see how it goes...' I can't imagine how those of you who are much further down the line get through these 2ww's, they are horrible!!

Kaliani · 16/12/2013 20:35

I know, it was LH's fault! What's frer? Does it make sense if I say I 'feel' pregnant?

Kittyrose1 · 16/12/2013 20:39

frer is first response early result pregnancy test.. I'm still getting the gang of these abbreviations myself
I'm poas on Xmas eve too If AF hasn't arrived then eeek one week to go

Kittyrose1 · 16/12/2013 20:40

Hang ^

Kaliani · 16/12/2013 20:41

I'm on day 28 of a 32-35 day cycle, about 12 days dpo according to fertility friend

LH1981 · 16/12/2013 20:42

Sorry Kaliani (oops!) Never trust a POAS addict, we are likely to lead you astray. FRER are the First Response tests. They are supposed to be very sensitive. I think they pick it up from 4 days pre AF but less accurate the earlier you test. Basically everyone is different and produces the hcg hormone at different rates.

YES! I totally understand that pregnant feeling!

Kaliani · 16/12/2013 21:01

I've just done the tesco shop. It seems to be a little more expensive than usual!

spinningirl10 · 16/12/2013 21:05

Haha Honeybear.....stick with us and we'll turn you into a crazy poas lady very soon!!!!! I am so impatient I could never wait for af to be late before I test!!! Grin

spinningirl10 · 16/12/2013 21:13

Somuch.....how did you get on at the doctors today?

Kaliani · 16/12/2013 21:20

Is it right that tests that give pink lines are more sensitive than blue?

And is it verywrong I brought 1 FRER and one two pack of tesco tests?

LH1981 · 16/12/2013 21:38

Oh no Kaliano, you've caught the POAS bug!! Xmas Wink
Nah, tis not bad, we're all there with you! [Grin]

Honeybear30 · 16/12/2013 22:03

Ha ha spinning I'm sure it's only a matter of time!!

I do genuinely feel nervous about chemical pg's though as I know you can get an early bfp and then af can come. I have no reason to believe why this should happen to me as this is the first time we are TTC. I think maybe I've just spent far far too much time lurking on these forums....!!!

I'd also rather have a really clear bfp than have to guess. I be got the sort of dh who wouldn't believe it unless it was very very clear!

Roll on Christmas Eve!!

Honeybear30 · 16/12/2013 22:05

I have also got the sort of dh...*

Kaliani · 16/12/2013 22:10

Hmmm. Way back in September I swore I wasn't going to confuse every little thing my body does with being pg. or obsessive poas.

Look how that worked outGrin

ReginaFelange22 · 16/12/2013 22:28

It's just dawned on me that BFP is actually due on 26th, was thinking of dates instead of number of days!!

I'm planning on just drinking mainly juice. Will make sure I "top up" my own drink, just incase! So OH is away now, ovulation tests were positive yesterday so DTD last night. Now it's fingers crossed time!

Boosk · 16/12/2013 22:45

Love it LH, a box in a box it shall be, just need the bfp.

Going to try and wait until Christmas Day before testing as that's when AF would be due. Unless the poas posse get to me.

Who else is aiming for Christmas Day poas?

kmini · 16/12/2013 22:45

Thanks for the tip Holyben. Is fmu a diff brand to cb? I don't think I saw that one in boots.

laravh · 16/12/2013 23:11

Kmini fmu is first morning urine. Wink

Wow the classy things we talk about...types of pee, dunking penis beakers wrapping up pee sticks, nice to know the're is many crazy obsessed ladies out there lol Xmas Grin

Meringuebaby · 17/12/2013 00:40

Hey hey!! I've been searching for you ladies everywhere!! Please say I can join in?

I am not technically due to see AF until Christmas Eve, but my cycle is still attempting to sort itself after 15 years on the pill, so who knows what to expect. This is my third month off it. I will be 12dpo on Fri, and it's my work christmas party on Fri 20th so I want to check just incase I need to lay off the gin!

Good luck to everyone testing in the next few weeks! Eeeeek!

BecauseIsaidS0 · 17/12/2013 00:40

AF got me, so I'm out. Yay for Christmas champers, I guess. Good luck to the remaining ladies on the bus, I'm off to the January one!
